From 17 April, 1900, to 6 June of that year, Pierre Loti travelled in a private capacity from Bushire on the Persian Gulf, northwards through Shiraz, Persepolis, Isfahan and Tehran, before returning via the Caspian Sea to Europe. This is the personal day-by-day account of his journey, the hardships of the mountainous terrain and the empty desert. Loti excels in his descriptions of the world around him: the sky, the mountains, the fertile plains, the deserted desert. His descriptions of the people he meets, their dress and manners are remarkable. Loti had come from India and on his way to the Gulf, he stopped off at Muscat and his account of this brief visit was published as En passant a Mascate (Passing through Muscat). This is the first English translation of both texts.

Este estuche reúne la prolífica obra de Poe en tres tomos dedicados a sus cuentos y relatos cortos, su nouvelle y toda su poesía. Un escritor que sigue fascinando y enganchando a lectores en la actualidad, igual que lo hizo en vida y a pesar de una dificil trayectoria."A Poe le debemos el cuento de terror moderno en su forma final y perfecta. Antes de Poe, la mayoria de los escritores fantasticos trabajaban a ciegas, sin entender los fundamentos psicologicos del horror, y con la traba de un conformismo ante ciertas convenciones literarias[...]. Por el contrario, Poe percibio la esencia impersonal del verdadero artista, y supo que la funcion de la literatura creativa era la de expresare interpretar los sucesos y las sensaciones tal como son, sin importar lo que prueban bueno o malo, atractivo o repulsivo, estimulante o deprimente, con el artista actuando siempre como un atento e impersonal cronista, lejos del tendencioso profesor o del vendedor de opiniones" H.P. Lovecraft

El ineludible y terrorífico Conde Drácula inaugura la recopilacion, acompañado por las oscuras narraciones que inspiraron a Bram Stocker cuando escribio su universal novela. Lord Byron, Charles Baudelaire, Guy de Maupassant, o incluso Lovecraft, los especialistas de lo extraño y del horror, firman algunos de estos cuentos imprescindibles. Cada relato esta precedido por una nota biografica del autor, y un comentario sobre el contenido e importancia del texto en cuestion. El perspicaz articulo Las metamorfosis del Vampiro de la escritora y academica Margo Glantz, incluido en el primer tomo, hace las veces de introduccion de la coleccion.

For the first time in almost 800 years Anne Purbrick (under her performing name of Anne Lister) has brought the lively, engaging, and entertaining Tale of Jaufre off the library shelves and has been telling it to audiences. There are several mysteries about Jaufre - when and why was a story about King Arthur written for a king of Aragon, and why in Occitan? Investigating this 13th century story from the practical standpoint of a storyteller has produced a number of new insights and discoveries. This book explores the background in detail, from the manuscripts and fragments which have survived to the people for whom the story was created, as well as its extensive later history, and then discusses the decisions, the revelations and the difficulties of telling the story to 21st century audiences. The Tale of Jaufre is remarkably little known outside modern Spain and yet, as this book demonstrates, it has links to the extended family of Alienor of Aquitaine and Henry II of England, and therefore across Europe.

Many commentaries on the Apocalypse were produced in the early Middle Ages. This book provides translations of two Apocalypse commentaries from the seventh and eighth centuries. On the Mysteries of the Apocalypse of John is part of a large one-volume "Reference Bible" composed about 750. Written probably by an Irish teacher residing in northern France, it answers difficulties arising from the biblical text. The Handbook on the Apocalypse of the Apostle John, attributed erroneously to Jerome and written before 767, contains brief moral and allegorical interpretations of particular words and phrases of the Apocalypse. The introduction highlights the unique features of each commentary and the interrelationship of the three texts.
