Elegance - HTML Email Template Preview. Tel'aran'rhiod. Da Wikipedia, l'enciclopedia libera. Nella serie di quattordici romanzi fantasy La Ruota del Tempo dello scrittore statunitense Robert Jordan, il termine Tel'aran'rhiod, che nella lingua antica significa Mondo dei Sogni, indica una dimensione parallela, che è un riflesso del mondo reale. A questa dimensione possono accedere saltuariamente e per brevissimi istanti tutte le persone e gli animali selvaggi, mentre stanno sognando; ma soprattutto vi accedono e vi possono permanere per periodi molto più lunghi alcune persone dotate della capacità di “Camminare nei Sogni”.
Contrariamente alle persone normali, che possono capitare in questa dimensione solo per caso e brevemente, mentre stanno dormendo, quelle dotate del talento rarissimo di “Camminare nei sogni” possono accedervi facilmente di propria volontà. Inoltre essi hanno la capacità di plasmare questa dimensione con la forza della propria volontà.

The Venus of Willendorf, now known in academia as the Woman of Willendorf, is a 4.25-inch (10.8 cm) high statuette of a female figure estimated to have been made between about 28,000 and 25,000 BCE.[1] It was found in 1908 by a workman named Johann Veran[2] or Josef Veram[3] during excavations conducted by archaeologists Josef Szombathy, Hugo Obermaier and Josef Bayer at a paleolithic site near Willendorf, a village in Lower Austria near the city of Krems.[4] It is carved from an oolitic limestone that is not local to the area, and tinted with red ochre. The figurine is now in the Naturhistorisches Museum in Vienna, Austria.[5] Venus of Willendorf is named after the site in Austria where it was unearthed.[6] Dating[edit] Venus of Willendorf It is believed that the figure was carved during the Paleolithic Period, also known as the "Old Stone Age".

A dystopia (from the Greek δυσ- and τόπος, alternatively, cacotopia,[1] kakotopia, cackotopia, or anti-utopia) is the vision of a society that is the opposite of utopia. A dystopian society is often a planned structured society in which the conditions of life are deliberately made miserable, characterized by poverty, oppression, violence, disease, scarcity, and/or pollution for the benefit of a select minority or some unnatural societal goal. Many of the listed works below are generally considered as being dystopian because their story emphasizes one or more detrimental societal characteristics that would be considered unusual if practiced in a utopian society.
However, there are some stories with similar detrimental societal characteristics that are not considered as dystopias by some critics because these same characteristics are now currently or have in the past been practiced to varying degrees in the real world.
