Tapa blanda. Condition: New. Para Calvino, «el cuento fantástico es uno de los productos más característicos de la narrativa del siglo XIX y, para nosotros, uno de los más significativos, pues es el que más nos dice sobre la interioridad del individuo y de la simbología colectiva. Para nuestra sensibilidad de hoy, el elemento sobrenatural en el centro de estas historias aparece siempre cargado de sentido, como la rebelión de lo inconsciente, de lo reprimido, de lo olvidado, de lo alejado de nuestra atención racional. En esto se ve la modernidad de lo fantástico, la razón de su triunfal retorno en nuestra época». El gran escritor italiano ha dividido su antología en dos partes, que ordenan la sucesión cronológica de los relatos en dos clasificaciones estilísticas. La primera, Lo fantástico visionario, reúne a una cuidada nómina de autores -Potocki, Eichendorff, Hoffmann, W. Scott, Balzac, Chasles, Nerval, Hawthorne, Gógol, Gautier, Mérimée y Le Fanu- cuyos cuentos tienen en común, bajo la descripción de un mundo encantado o infernal, una poderosa sugestión visual. La segunda, Lo fantástico cotidiano, compuesta por narraciones más abstractas y mentales, más psicológicas, congrega a escritores tan variados y significativos como Poe, Andersen, Dickens, Turguéniev, Leskov, Villiers de l'Isle-Adam, Maupassant, Vernon Lee, Bierce, Lorrain, Stevenson, H. James, Kipling y H. G. Wells. Esta edición de Cuentos fantásticos del XIX reúne en un solo volumen todos los relatos seleccionados y prologados por Italo calvino.…

Hardcover. Condition: Good. 2000 CRC Press hardcover edition. Light reading wear, a little wear to edge else very good condition. Heteropterans regularly cause a wide variety and large number of problems for humans - at times on a catastrophic scale. The 37,000 described species of this suborder include many pests, disease transmitters, and nuisances that exist worldwide. They inflict damage on crops, forests, orchards, and humans. Inspired by the widespread economic impact of this activity, Heteroptera of Economic Importance presents the most thorough, detailed account of true bugs to date. From the bloodsucking bed bug to the dreaded assassin bug, Heteroptera of Economic Importance integrates the best of insect-focused and crop-oriented references, synthesizing the biology, behavior, and ecology of the true bugs. Each entry includes a detailed life history, that helps you evaluate the impact of harmful and useful Heteroptera. The thorough, comprehensive bibliographies support further research. Separate indices to insects and plants allow you to adapt the book to your use. It covers the physiology of plant damage and predation by this cosmopolitan group. This coverage, along with information on control measures and natural enemies, helps you evaluate and compare the best methods of management.
