A new edition of Tolkien`s Tree and Leaf, complete with his rare translation and commentary of The Homecoming of Beorhtnoth, the Battle of Maldon. Fairy-stories are not just for children, as anyone who has read Tolkien will know. In his essay On Fairy-Stories, Tolkien discusses the nature of fairy-tales and fantasy and rescues the genre from those who would relegate it to juvenilia. The haunting short story, Leaf by Niggle, recounts the story of the artist, Niggle, who has `a long journey to make` and is seen as an allegory of Tolkien`s life. The poem Mythopoeia relates an argument between two unforgettable characters as they discuss the making of myths. Lastly, and published for the very first time, we are treated to the translation of...

Publicados unitariamente en 1920 bajo el titulo de Tres novelas ejemplares y un prologo, los admirables relatos que forman este volumen -"Dos madres", "El marques de Lumbria" y "Nada menos que todo un hombre"- fueron escritos por Miguel de Unamuno en la segunda decada del siglo xx. Precedidos por un prуlogo en el cual el autor resume sus ideas basicas sobre la teoria del relato y la creacion de personajes, se caracterizan por la exploraciуn del mundo interior, la escasez de los elementos descriptivos, el desarrollo interno de la trama en un tiempo psicolуgico y la importancia de los dialogos, rasgos que comparte, como apunta en la introducciуn al volumen Demetrio Estebanez Calderуn, con las corrientes expresionistas vigentes en la...

"Les trésors que j`ai ramenés de là-bas sont immatériels et, lorsque la plume ne s`en saisit pas, ils disparaissent à jamais. Le romancier que je suis, amoureux de ces diamants éphémères, parfois très purs, parfois noirs, mais toujours uniques et bouleversants dans leur mystérieux éclat, est parti à leur recherche vers cette mine de richesse et de pauvreté inépuisable que l`on appelait jadis l`âme humaine - je dis "jadis", car le mot est passé de mode, avec son écho d`au-delà". De Djibouti au Yémen, Romain Gary sillonne les terres brûlées et hostiles pour en rapporter un témoignage d`une rare force.

This terrifying tale of Joseph K, a respectable functionary in a bank who is suddenly arrested and must defend his innocence against a charge about which he can get no information, is the origin of the adjective `Kafkaesque`. K is never told what he is on trial for, and when he says he is innocent, he is immediately asked `innocent of what`? Is he perhaps on trial for his innocence? Could he have freed himself from the proceedings by confessing his guilt as a human being? The Trial describes a nightmare vision of the excesses of modern bureaucracy wedded to the mad agendas of totalitarian regimes.

When people use the adjective `Kafkaesque`, it is "The Trial" they have in mind – the nightmarish world of Joseph K., where the rules are hidden from even the highest officials, and any help there may be comes from unexpected sources. K. is never told what he is on trial for, and when he says he is innocent, he is immediately asked `innocent of what?` Is he perhaps on trial for his innocence? Could he have freed himself from the proceedings by confessing his guilt as a human being? Has the trial been set up because he is incapable of admitting his guilt, and hence his humanity? "The Tria"l is a chilling and at the same time blackly amusing tale that maintains, to the very end, a constant, relentless atmosphere of disorientation and...
