Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Newly translated and gathered together for the first time in a single volume.Eight tales of love, fate, and the thin places between the living and the dead. A woman of mist carries a sleeping man across the night skies, asking only for his blood. A forbidden reading of Goethe wakes a passion in a married woman that cannot be put back to sleep. An officer follows a knocking no one else can hear toward the end he believes was always meant for him. A young man courts a dead actress - until she begins, gently, to court him in return.Across these eight stories, Ivan Turgenev turns from the drawing rooms of his great novels to the country of the uncanny: dreams that repeat until they come true, a song that wakes the half-dead, an invisible dog that pads through a locked room. Here desire and dread keep the same hours, and the boundary a reasonable man trusts proves to be no boundary at all.Quiet, exact, and steeped in dread, these tales show one of Russia's great realists at the edge of the rational - where the dead keep their appointments, and love proves stronger than the grave.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The first English translation of Carolina Invernizio's lost Italian gothic thriller.Turin, carnival night. A masked woman leads a penniless student up to a garret - and a respectable man's ruin begins.Count Livio Rossano has everything: a noble name, a beautiful and devoted wife, a fortune almost within his grasp. He has built it all on other people's blood. When a cast-off mistress threatens his ambitions, he does not soil his own hands - he keeps a devoted dependent who will do anything he asks, murder included. The crime is buried, an innocent man is sent to the galleys for it, and the Count climbs higher than ever.But a dying woman's last words reach the wrong ears. A slandered countess begins, quietly, to gather proof. A shopgirl remakes herself as the most dazzling courtesan in the city to draw the truth out of the man who destroyed the one she loved. And behind the velvet drapery - intercepted letters, a slow poison, and a secret of blood - every one of them is carried toward a reckoning none will walk away from unchanged.The Attic Mysteries is Carolina Invernizio at full pitch: disguise, buried parentage, betrayal, and long-plotted revenge, moving between the lit salons and the back-stairs garrets of nineteenth-century Turin.One of the most widely read Italian novelists of her age, Invernizio wrote sensation fiction prolifically - yet almost none of it has ever appeared in English. This is the first time I Misteri delle Soffitte has been translated into English: newly rendered for a modern reader while keeping the brooding, gaslit atmosphere of the original.For readers of Wilkie Collins, Mary Elizabeth Braddon, and the great Victorian novels of secrets and sensation.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The first English translation. In 1883, the great French linguist Julien Vinson gathered everything the Basque country still sang, riddled, and whispered - and this book is the whole of it, in English at last. Here are the wonder tales the villages told against the winter: the sea-witch whose last wave is a wave of blood; the fairies who build a bridge in a night, cheated of their wage by a crowing cock; the one-eyed giant blinded by his supper-guest; the devil's godson who steals the moon itself. Here are the songs with their airs - love songs, drinking songs, the anthem of the Guernica oak - printed with the original Basque; the lullabies and begging songs; seventy-eight riddles; two hundred and twenty-eight proverbs; and the strangest survival of all, the pastorales - the open-air folk theater of the high Soule, where blue-coated Christians and red-coated Turks fought seven-hour verse battles on a stage of planks and barrels while Satans danced at the edges. Vinson's own account of that theater, and his complete carnival play of Pançart - the trial and execution of Mardi Gras himself - close the collection. The companion volume to Basque Legends and Folk-Tales of the Pyrenees.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Frances E. W. Harper was among the most widely read poets of nineteenth-century America - a lecturer, abolitionist, and reformer whose verse carried the moral urgency of her age across the nation.This is the definitive collection: every poem and every prose piece, gathered in a single volume. It restores writing found almost nowhere else - her rare 1849 debut, Forest Leaves; poems uncollected since their first printing; and the essays and addresses that shaped a movement - alongside the celebrated Sketches of Southern Life and the book-length Moses: A Story of the Nile.Ten parts span her whole career, from Forest Leaves (1849) through Poems (1895) and Idylls of the Bible (1901), closing with her major essays and addresses.The complete Harper, in one edition.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Frances E. W. Harper was the most widely read Black writer in nineteenth-century America - a poet, lecturer and reformer who spent forty years on the platform and in print. Her fiction is the least seen part of that work. Three of the four novels ran as serials in the Christian Recorder and then vanished with the newspaper, unread for more than a century: Minnie's Sacrifice (1869), Sowing and Reaping (1876) and Trial and Triumph (1888). They stand here beside Iola Leroy (1892), the novel that made her name, and the two short pieces she published in the Anglo-African Magazine on either side of the war. Ninety-four chapters, six works, one volume - the whole of her fiction, set from the original printings and given the page it has always deserved.…
