        Ramon J. Sender's 'Cronica del alba'

        by Catherine Davies, Anthony Trippett

        Crónica del alba is a novel by Sender with a Civil War background, like the popular Réquiem por un campesino español, also in this series. The author evokes his childhood in rural Aragón at the beginning of the twentieth century in a book which has a charm and something of the character of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. The young Pepe fights to believe in himself as a hero in the face of a world, and a father bent on putting him down. He is supported by his girlfriend, Valentina, who believes in him implicitly and often ends up in as much trouble as him. But there is something more here than scrapes and mischief-making. It is written by an older and disillusioned Pepe who has known real heroism and is now detained in a prison camp for Spanish Civil War refugees in southern France. The novel raises challenging questions about the loss of hope, how people cope with disillusionment, and the place of writing in that process. Moreover, since the novel reflects Sender's own childhood it sheds light on the complex relationship of fact and fiction in autobiographical novels. ;

        INVESTIGATIONS INTO MAGIC

        by P. Maxwell-Stuart, Sarah Purdue

        This is the first English translation of one of the most important, interesting and comprehensive discussions of the occult sciences ever published. Investigations into magic deals not only with magic in all its forms, from the manipulation of angelic and demonic powers to straightforward conjuring and illusion, but also with witchcraft, alchemy, astrology, divination, prophecy, and possession by evil spirits. In addition, Del Rio gives judges and confessors practical advice on the most effective ways of dealing with people who are accused of practising magic, and enlivens his whole discussion with anecdotes drawn from a remarkable range of sources, including his own experience. Nothing so panoramic had ever appeared before, and for the next one hundred and fifty years Investigations into magic was the indispensable reference work on the subject. ;

        Frankenstein oder Der moderne Prometheus

        Roman | Der Gothic-Klassiker über die Erschaffung eines künstlichen Menschen, der auf der Suche nach Liebe zum Monster wird | Mit Farbschnitt

        by Mary Shelley

        Eine unsterbliche Geschichte über die Gefahren grenzenlosen Ehrgeizes und die Essenz des Menschlichen Der brillante Wissenschaftler Victor Frankenstein ist besessen davon, das Geheimnis des Lebens zu entschlüsseln. In einer schicksalhaften Nacht gelingt ihm das Undenkbare: Er erweckt eine von ihm geschaffene Kreatur zum Leben. Doch entsetzt von der Hässlichkeit seines Werkes, verstößt er das sensible Wesen, das so verzweifelt nach Liebe und Akzeptanz sucht. Von der Welt verachtet und von Rachsucht getrieben, wendet sich das Geschöpf schließlich gegen seinen Schöpfer und alles, was ihm lieb ist. Inmitten der erhabenen Landschaft der Schweizer Alpen entspinnt sich ein erbitterter Wettlauf, der von den eisigen Weiten des Nordpols bis in die dunkelsten Winkel der menschlichen Seele führt. Mary Shelleys zeitloses Meisterwerk ist viel mehr als eine Gruselgeschichte: Es ist ein Roman über Selbstüberschreitung, Einsamkeit und das existenzielle Bedürfnis nach Zugehörigkeit.
