Condizione: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Una selección de relatos de horror que muestra lo más oscuro del mundo vegetal. Una antología que reúne a nombres como Roald Dahl, Eudora Welty o H. P. Lovecraft. Orquídeas sanguinarias, bosques enteros que se rebelan contra quienes los masacraron, setas tan bellas como venenosas, robles majestuosos que se convierten en la reencarnación del hombre de la casa, maravillosas enredaderas que reviven espantosos fantasmas del pasado, máquinas rudimentarias que permiten registrar el terrible sufrimiento de las plantas maltratadas, árboles solitarios que señalan el mismísimo umbral a un mundo pesadillesco? Un verdor siniestro recorre la literatura de los siglos XIX y XX y nos recuerda que las plantas, seres fascinantes y misteriosos, benéficos y letales a la vez, encarnan la otredad en forma de monstruo silencioso, al tiempo que padecen los efectos de la avaricia que lleva al ser humano a usurpar y destruir sin compasión aquellas formas de vida que, reducidas a materia prima, pueden generar riqueza. Gótico botánico es un catálogo de historias del mundo vegetal más fantástico, que incluye a autores tan destacados como M. R. James, Richmal Crompton, H. P. Lovecraft o Roald Dahl, y que permite, además, descubrir las inquietantes creaciones de escritoras pulp como Mary Elizabeth Counselman, Maria Moravsky o Eli Colter. A partir de ahora, el verde será el nuevo negro. CRÍTICA ««Ya sea como eficaces símbolos de temas universales, en forma de remotos miedos victorianos y de personajes híbridos, peligrosos o sedientos de venganza, los vegetales ofrecen una fascinante variedad literaria, consecuencia lógica de su casi infinita y perturbadora cantidad de especímenes y de todo lo que nos queda por descubrir sobre ellos. » ?Patricia Esteban Erlés *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

Drawing on their extensive research and expertise, renowned historians George and Isabel Henderson illuminate one of the great enigmas of medieval art: the unique metalwork and sculpture of the Picts. Tribal Celtic-speaking warriors and farmers in what is now Scotland, the Picts were one of the major peoples of early medieval Britain, but their culture and their beautiful art have puzzled historians for centuries.George and Isabel Henderson?s acute analysis reveals an art form that both interacted with the currents of ?Insular? art and was produced by a sophisticated society capable of sustaining large-scale art programs. The illustrations include specially commissioned drawings that help one understand the mysterious symbols found in the art. …

Pages 256. Size: 27. 5 cm by 22 cm. BOOK RESUME: The Art of the Picts is the definitive, lavishly illustrated survey of the sculpture and metalwork produced in early medieval Scotland. It moves beyond simple cataloguing to provide a profound intellectual analysis of Pictish symbols and their relationship to the wider Insular world of the Book of Kells and Lindisfarne. This work stands as the final, comprehensive statement on the visual culture of a people once considered mysterious, proving their artistic parity with any contemporary European civilization. AUTHOR: George and Isabel Henderson are the pre-eminent husband-and-wife duo of Scottish medieval scholarship, combining expertise from Cambridge University and the University of Aberdeen. Isabel Henderson is widely regarded as the 'Cultural Custodian' who pioneered the modern study of Pictish stones, while George's work on Insular manuscripts provided the necessary European context. Together, they transformed Pictish studies from amateur antiquarianism into a rigorous, world-class academic discipline.
