About this title

Synopsis

A best-seller in its day and a potent influence on Sade, Poe, and other purveyors of eighteenth and nineteenth-century Gothic horror, The Mysteries of Udolpho remains one of the most important works in the history of European fiction. After Emily St. Aubuert is imprisoned by her evil guardian, Count Montoni, in his gloomy medieval fortress in the Appenines, terror becomes the order of the day. With its dream-like plot and hallucinatory rendering of its characters' psychological states, The Mysteries of Udolpho is a fascinating challenge to contemporary readers.

Store Description

La Librer�a Prometeo nace en un modesto local de la ciudad de M�laga, en 1969, con una vocaci�n de fomento de la cultura. Prometeo es ese h�roe de la mitolog�a griega que pretende construir un mundo a la medida del hombre. En 1975 aparece la Librer�a Proteo. El nombre hace referencia a un dios marino, tambi�n de la mitolog�a griega, caracterizado por sus capacidades adaptativas. El paso del tiempo nos obliga a transformarnos en una empresa cada vez m�s eficiente pero sin menoscabo de su vocaci�n germinal de servicio a la cultura, en un contexto laboral digno y en una pr�ctica de un comercio serio y equitativo. En todo ello seguimos, despu�s de 43 a�os de existencia. Nuestro pensamiento sigue puesto en un buen trabajo, en una actividad de fomento de la cultura y en una presencia perdurable en la ciudad. En el a�o 2004 llevamos a cabo la rehabilitaci�n de la casa donde radica Librer�a Proteo siguiendo criterios ecol�gicos. En esa actuaci�n se descubri� la Torre del siglo XIII de la antigua Puerta de Buenaventura y se integr� en la fachada del edificio y en el interior de la librer�a.
