Magnífica crítica social, irónica y mordaz. Clara prefiguración de grandes obras contemporáneas como Lolita de Nabokov o La mancha humana de Roth. Raat es un profesor de secundaria solitario, tirano e inflexible. Este hombre, movido por el deber, desprecia la modernidad y la vida de la Alemania de principios de siglo. Se dedica a torturar a sus alumnos a quienes considera un reflejo de una sociedad viciosa e inmoral. Estos le han bautizado como el profesor Unrat, «basura». Los principios de Raat se verán comprometidos cuando sigue a sus alumnos hasta un cabaret de mala muerte con el objetivo de darles una buena lección. Lo que no imaginaba es que la joven, dulce y sensual Rosa Fröhlich, una artista demasiado acostumbrada a vivir de los favores de los hombres, trastocaría todos sus principios y le obsesionaría hasta la locura. Reseña:«El profesor Unrat es quizá la obra de Heinrich Mann que más prestigio ha logrado.»El MundoMORIR DE MIEDO
Una terrorífica y sorprendente antología de relatos fantásticos firmados por los más destacados autores del siglo XIX francés. Fantasmas, vampiros, espíritus, diablos, amantes que resucitan, objetos con vida propia... El mundo de lo fantástico responde a las angustias y miedos del ser humano; por medio del sueño o la pesadilla, el lector accede a las emociones que provoca la intervención de lo extraño en una realidad por lo general plana y rutinaria. Exquisitamente traducida y prologada por Mauro Armiño, esta selección abarca relatos que, durante el siglo XIX francés, empiezan asumiendo la herencia de la novela gótica y siguen luego la evolución histórica, para rechazar, por medio de la imaginación, el conformismo hipócrita de la sociedad propuesta por la Revolución Industrial. De Jacques Cazotte, que a finales del XVIII ya intuía presencias sobrenaturales, a Jean Lorrain y los autores de la Belle Époque, la nómina de escritores que abordaron lo fantástico incluye a los más grandes nombres del periodo ;Nodier, Balzac, Gautier, Borel, Mérimée, Flaubert, Nerval, Verne o Schwob;, que testimonian cómo la fantasía creó un espacio de primera magnitud, dando así lugar a un nuevo género literario que aún en nuestros días sigue desarrollándose vigorosamente. Jacques Cazotte, Charles Nodier, Honoré de Balzac, Théophile Gautier, Philarète Chasles, Pétrus Borel, Prosper Mérimée, Gustave Flaubert, George Sand, Victor Hugo, Gérard de Nerval, Léon Daudet, Villiers de l;Isle-Adam, Guy de Maupassant, Jules Verne, Édouard Dujardin, Jules Lermina, Marcel Schwob, Henri de Régnier, Jean Lorrain y Jean Richepin.APERCUS NOUVEAUX SUR QUELQUES QUESTIONS DE METEOROLOGIE GENERALE (1898)

This new collection of essays, “Unravelling,” covers midlife transitions from the female perspective.Camilla Joubert is a lifestyle coach whose own midlife “unravelling” inspired her to collect stories from real women who had navigated the often-murky midlife experience. Her intention is to connect these stories to other women in midlife so they feel less alone at this time. The eleven essays in “Unravelling” tackle many issues that were long considered taboo: divorce, extra-marital affairs, sexual orientation, grief, abuse, careers, mental illness and serious physical illness. The author acknowledges that midlife is not always a stressful time—for some it offers rejuvenation and objectivity. The topics are approached with humour; some are examined philosophically and all with honest, thoughtful introspection. It is not a self-help book. It includes no “sure-fire” method to weather midlife but sympathetically shares the stories. What is most striking is that the diversity of experiences reveals that there is no one way of navigating the middle years. Camilla has a coaching practice in Vancouver to help women going through major changes in their lives. Her purpose is to empower women to meet the future calmly. She lives in Vancouver, Canada with her family and their stubborn beagle.LES TEMPS PREHISTORIQUES EN SUEDE ET DANS LES AUTRES PAYS SCANDINAVES (1895)
