Down in the FloodBy turns playful and hypnotic, sly and tender, the fourteen stories in Luke Whisnant's Down in the Flood celebrate the particular and the peculiar, the private and the public, the beautiful and the not-so-beautiful moments of our daily lives. Evocatively rendered, these inventive tales are laced with humor, yet bittersweet. |

Mogens and Other StoriesAccording to JOHAN DE MYLIUS of the Danish Royal Library, Jens Peter Jacobsen was a poet associated with the so-called 'modern breakthrough' in Danish literature in the 1870s. . . . Jacobsen's immediate importance was his status as the 'writer of his generation.' Like the single volume of short stories Jacobsen published in 1882, three years before he died of tuberculosis, both of his novels are unique in an age of realism on account of their highly charged, atmospheric prose and almost lyrical style. Jacobsen's late Romantic or early Symbolist poetry was not published in book form until after his death. |

Historias ExtraordinariasEdgar Allan Poe, escritor romantico y precursor de simbolistas, decadentistas y esteticistas, fue, al tiempo que un gran poeta, un verdadero iniciador; aun hoy generos literarios tan consagrados como la narrativa fantastica y de ciencia ficcion, la narrativa policiaca o la novela de aventuras llevan su impronta inconfundible. Fascinado por la muerte y por todas las formas del terror, dio lo mejor de su talento en sus cuentos de misterio, manifestando ademas -con un adelanto sorprendente sobre nuestros gustos- un vibrante interes por lo ridiculo y absurdo. En la presente edicion se ofrece el conjunto mas representativo de sus Historias extraordinarias, con titulos tan importantes como La caida de la casa Usher, El retrato oval, El gato negro, Ligeia, El corazon delator, La barrica de amontillado o el Doble asesinato en la calle Morgue. Precediendo el conjunto se ha incluido, ademas, un trabajo de Charles Baudelaire sobre la obra de Poe. |
