Open twenty-four hours a day, at first glance The Wizard's Bakery seems like any ordinary bakery where you can buy bread, cakes, and cookies, with a somewhat grumpy man behind the counter. At first glance, that is. Because when the young boy who is our protagonist chooses it as a refuge to escape a difficult family situation, the reality he finds is quite different. Baked with the help of a mysterious blue-haired shop assistant, are sweets and pastries with immense powers, capable of changing lives.

Krautrock is not a music genre. Krautrock is a way of life. Its sonic diversity and global reach belie the common culture from where it emerged. This is a band-by-band history. Krautrock explores the history and methodology of the genre, charting its influences and innovations, its more mainstream acts (like Faust, Kraftwerk, and Can) as well as the less universally known (including Harmonia, Popol Vuh, Embryo, and Ash Ra Tempel), and how the genre developed in post-war Germany and what it means to today's listeners.

Legend has it that more than a thousand years ago an Indian Buddhist monk named Bodhidharma arrived in China. His approach to teaching was unlike that of any of the Buddhist missionaries who had come to China before him. He confounded the emperor with cryptic dialogues, traveled the country, lived in a cave in the mountains, and eventually paved the way for a unique and illuminating approach to Buddhist teachings that would later spread across the whole of East Asia in the form of Chan—later to be known as Seon in Korean, Thien in Vietnamese, and Zen in Japanese.

Profilo basso e sangue freddo. Artiglio - nome guadagnato sul campo - conosce alla perfezione le regole del mestiere: prima di tutto non dare mai nell'occhio. Capelli grigi, pantaloni neri, e un viso che è una ragnatela di rughe, sembra proprio una signora in età come tante, una vecchina che si confonde nel vagone della metropolitana di Seul il venerdì sera. Se non fosse per il pugnale che nasconde in borsetta ricoperto da un sottile strato di cianuro di potassio.

Esistono luoghi capaci di farti sentire accolto anche solo per l'atmosfera e il profumo che si respirano al loro interno, e la pasticceria di questo romanzo è esattamente così: aperta ventiquattr'ore su ventiquattro, a prima vista sembra un normale forno dove comprare pane, torte e biscotti con un signore un po' burbero dietro il banco. All'apparenza, però. Perché, quando il ragazzino protagonista di questa storia lo sceglie come rifugio per scappare da una situazione familiare difficile, la realtà che trova è ben diversa.
