Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Hay lugares donde el pasado nunca termina de esfumarse. Bosques, marismas, acantilados y pequeños pueblos donde sobreviven antiguos secretos paganos. Terrores ancestrales reúne a los grandes nombres del folk horror en una antología indispensable para adentrarse en uno de los territorios más inquietantes de la literatura fantástica. Hay horrores que permanecen vivos en oscuros y húmedos bosques, páramos desolados, turbios pantanos; en las desoladas playas ahondadas por el gélido viento del norte o incluso en pequeños pueblos que se resisten a caer en la corriente frenética del presente. Esta antología recupera los nombres clave del folk horror, desde los pioneros del género como Arthur Machen, Algernon Blackwood, M. R. James o Sheridan Le Fanu hasta plumas fundamentales de las últimas décadas como Walter de la Mare, Joan Aiken o Ramsey Campbell. En las páginas de Terrores ancestrales encontrarás ritos paganos que perviven en nuestros días, brujas inmortales, maldiciones que pueden transformarte en criatura marina o portales a otros mundos que se abren durante la noche de Todos los Santos. Cuídate mucho cuando vayas al campo, porque hay secretos que siguen grabados a sangre y piedra, tradiciones que se resisten a morir y palabras mecidas por el viento que parecen decir: ?Nosotros prevalecemos? Terrores ancestrales es la perfecta guía para adentrarse en el género folk horror , que habla de todo aquellos miedos que nos persiguen desde los albores de los tiempos: extrañas criaturas que se niegan a abandonar sus moradas, dioses cuyos corazones siguen latiendo en la tierra o moradores de las profundidades que exigen un sacrificio. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 2014 OUP hardcover edition. Unread copy in very good condition. From the cover: The concept of the social brain has become a popular topic in the last decade and has generated interest within the research community and contributed to a wide public examination of human culture, nature, mind, and instinct, as well as aspects of social and business organization. At its core, the hypothesis that our social life drove the dramatic enlargement of our brain bridges the dimensions of our evolutionary history and our contemporary experience. This has been the focus of a seven-year research project funded by the British Academy, the British Academy Centenary Research Project (otherwise known as the Lucy Project). The main aim of the Lucy Project has been to explore these two axes in an integrated set of studies whose focus was to link archaeology and, in its broadest sense, evolutionary psychology, which offers powerful, new explanatory insights. This approach redresses the past contribution from archaeology towards the study of evolutionary issues and ties evolutionary psychology into the extensive historical data from the past, allowing us to escape the confined timeframe of the comparatively recent human mind.In this volume of published and new papers, the contributors explore the question of just what it is that makes us so different, and why and when these uniquely human capacities evolved.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Wicked witches, bad fairies, and the restless dead be damned, for those who are looking to fill up their folk horror fiction shelves, Damnable Talesis a must-have' Andy Paciorek, Horrified Magazine 'I had to keep pulling myself away from it so I didn't finish it in one sitting . . . An incredible book'Annie Kapur,Vocal Media This richly illustrated anthology gathers together classic short stories from masters of supernatural fiction including M. R. James, Sheridan Le Fanu and Arthur Machen, alongside lesser-known voices in the field including Eleanor Scott and Margery Lawrence, and popular writers less bound to the horror genre, such as Thomas Hardy and E. F. Benson.These are damnable tales, selected and beautifully illustrated by Richard Wells. They stalk the moors at night, the deep forests, cornered fields and dusky churchyards, the narrow lanes and old ways of these ancient places, drawing upon the haunted landscapes of folk-horror - a now widely used term first applied to a series of British films from the late 1960s and 1970s: Witchfinder General (1968), Blood on Satan's Claw (1971), and The Wicker Man (1973).But as this collection shows, writers of uncanny fiction were dabbling in the dark side of folklore long before. These twenty-two stories take the reader beyond the safety and familiarity of the town into the isolated and untamed wilderness. Unholy rites, witches' curses, sinister village traditions and ancient horrors that lurk within the landscape all combine to remind us that the shiny modern, urban world might not have all the answers Copyright © Unbound.…
