![]() For the mimics taking over another planet means completely changing the ecosystem and kill all the species that happened to be living on it. Their own planet could not sustain their growing population anymore. At least that is what I assume because they came from a galaxy far far away to take over the earth as their new home planet. They are hard to kill and breed like crazy. The appearance of the mimic species is compared with that of an ugly toad. The story begins at one of the numerous battles humanity fights against an enemy called the mimics. At the core of the book are questions of what it means to be a soldier and how ethical it is to destroy one civilization for the benefit of another one.Īll you need is kill is both a science fiction and dystopian story. ![]() The only solutions humanity has is to destroy the alien force themselves. ![]() This doesn’t mean the stories of a light novel are light themselves though! This story, for example, is an action-packed war story set in the future where bad-ass soldiers fight an alien force set on the complete destruction of earth and the human race. This makes the books accessible to a wide audience. The characteristics of a light novel are that they are short (around 50.000 words), aimed and young people and often illustrated with the manga art style. All you need is kill is described as a ‘light novel’ which is a genre in Japanese literature aimd at a young audience. ![]()

While Tsar Peter the Great planned the streetscapes of Russia’s northern capital as a contrast to the muddy and crooked streets of Moscow, Andrei Bely’s novel Petersburg (1916), a cornerstone of Russian modernism and the culmination of the “Petersburg myth” in Russian culture, takes issue with the city’s premeditated and supposedly rational character in the early twentieth century. Since its founding three hundred years ago, the city of Saint Petersburg has captured the imaginations of the most celebrated Russian writers, whose characters map the city by navigating its streets from the aristocratic center to the gritty outskirts. “Redefines not only the phenomenal presence of Saint Petersburg as city but also the modern city’s impact on the creation of new kinds of narrative.” Slavic Studies / History / Literature & Criticism ![]() UW Press - Petersburg/Petersburg Novel and City, 1900-1921 - Edited by Olga Matich ![]() |
