Philosophy in the theatre. Everything is conveniently arranged so that we can hear the dialogues: the characters, the scenery, the special effects. The real drama of a life and thoughts in their context. The voices and impressions that move us prevail, interpreted for the relief and enjoyment of the soul. Scenes from a life, in this case that of Berkeley, are like a collection of postcards.
Paris is a feast, and the lights of the Belle Époque illuminate the nightlife of Montmartre and Pigalle, neighbourhoods of loose morals and the free circulation of absinthe and opium. But it is in an aristocratic boulevard, far from the backstreets and dens, that the body of Monsieur Bonancieux appears with its throat cut.
Until my thirteenth birthday, l had an easy life. Now I'm thirteen and thirty days, and I'm in a strange damp room, blindfolded and tied to an old chair. I know this is not something that happens to all kids my age. But all the other kids my age aren't the son of the White Tiger. I am.
"The Huemul" is a wonderful story about a deer who was born to be free, yet submits to domestication, domination and even the worst kinds of humiliation. And all because of fear. Fear of the unknown, of leaving his comfort zone and daring to live his dreams. This is a fable about how to transform our fears in order to achieve a fuller life, the life we truly deserve.
A motionless shadow projected onto a wall in the middle of a wood. That is what the strange anonymous films that have arrived in Professor Martin Torres' mailbox show.

London is a city full of marvels and mysteries, especially for someone who can't help sniffing out trouble wherever he goes. And it seemed like this was going to be a peaceful holiday.
All places hide mysteries, but the city of Oxford, with its secret museums and peculiar professors, is richer in mysteries than any other.

But when he comes across girls who see spirits, swindling students, a bunch of keys that will open anything and suspicious individuals who use the air as a weapon...
