Cartoné (tapa dura cartón). Condizione: New. Condizione sovraccoperta: Nuevo. 01. Los mejores y más terroríficos cuentos navideños de los grandes autores de la literatura universal. . . La creencia en fantasmas es, probablemente, tan vieja como la propia humanidad y el gusto por la narración oral. Resulta natural entonces que ambas se combinaran a la perfección durante el crudo y amenazador invierno, cuando la muerte estaba más presente que nunca, propiciando de este modo que los cuentos de espectros y aparecidos se consolidaran en tales fechas como una popular tradición. Diseñados para enmascarar las cosas que más nos asustan y aligerar la carga de nuestros pensamientos, el atractivo secreto de estos relatos ?de las horribles criaturas que creamos, de los fantasmas que nos acechan y los demonios que operan en nuestras mentes? es que, si bien las historias en sí son ficciones, los peligros subyacentes que evocan y la emoción que sentimos al enfrentarlos son absolutamente reales. . . . Así pues, acurrucados junto a la chimenea y en un ambiente netamente festivo, esta terrorífica antología nos invita a redescubrir esa milenaria experiencia, magnética y sugestiva mezcla de divertimento y escalofrío. . . Charles Dickens, Nathaniel Hawthorne, J. H. Riddell, Sheridan Le Fanu, Guy de Maupassant, Antón Chéjov, Benito Pérez Galdós, Arthur Conan Doyle, J. M. Barrie, J. K. Bangs, B. M. Croker, Thomas Hardy, Edith Nesbit, G. K. Chesterton, Algernon Blackwood, Emilia Pardo Bazán, M. R. James y Arthur Machen. LIBRO.

Couverture rigide. Condizione: Comme neuf. Edition originale. New York 2015. 1 Volume/1. -- As New -- Hardback quarto size ( 31,3 x 23,5 cm ). ------ 240 pages. ************************ "" Le second tome du livre Toilet Paper : les images des six derniers numéros du magazine (du 6 au 11), rassemblées / remixées dans un seul volume, avec divers textes et une série de projets inédits. **************************** Since its very first issue in June 2010, Toilet Paper magazine, the brainchild of Maurizio Cattelan and Pierpaolo Ferrari, has celebrated the riotous and repulsive image. In an interview with Vogue Italia, Ferrari said that "the project emerged from a passion/obsession that Maurizio and I have in common. Each picture springs from an idea, even a simple one, and then becomes a complex orchestration of people who build tableaux vivants. This project is also a sort of mental outburst." Each issue of the magazine features full spreads of surrealistic color photographs, shot in the slick style and eye-popping hues of commercial photography, unencumbered and unmediated by text. Despite Cattelan's alleged retirement from art, Toilet Paper has shown no signs of slowing down, spawning calendars, books, vinyl records and homewares, as well as the biannual magazine. In a hotly anticipated follow-up to the first Toilet Paper anthology, Maurizio Cattelan & Pierpaolo Ferrari: Toilet Paper, Volume II presents a selection of the best images from the past five issues of Toilet Paper magazine alongside special projects shot by Cattelan and Ferrari for such publications as Purple, New York Magazine, Kenzine, Le Monde and Dazed & Confused. All are collected in this deluxe hardcover volume, a book as at home on the coffee table as it is in the bathroom. '' *****************************.
