Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A rediscovered classic of Hungarian literature, this spellbinding collection vividly depicts the darkest impulses of the human psyche against the backdrop of Europe's moral and social decline on the eve of World War IGeza Csath (pen name of Joszef Brenner) was a writer, playwright, musician, psychiatrist, and physician born in Hungary at the end of the 19th century. One of Sigmund Freud's earliest followers, he pushed both life and art to radical extremes in an all-consuming--and ultimately fatal--search for the unvarnished truth about the human condition.Written with unsparing clarity and reminiscent of the works of Frank Kafka and Edgar Allan Poe for their dark pessimism and gothic imagination, the short stories collected here pierce the veil of the seemingly tranquil, ordinary lives of their protagonist. At times realistic, at times dreamlike, Csath's gruesome, harrowing tales reveal the violent and irrational forces lurking just beneath the surface of a society on the verge of the abyss."A memorable volume, Csath's depiction of the collapse of Central Europe, by way of magnification of the collapse of the individual, is uncannily prophetic."--Joyce Carol Oates, The New Republic Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Espańol. El conjunto de relatos que lleva por título "Cuentos que acaban mal", muestra sin tapujos las constantes omnipresentes de la obra de Csáth: el gozo negado y la muerte. Magia, ácida profundidad, lirismo salvaje; todo ello desprenden estos cuentos de modernidad atemporal, en los que se descubren ecos de escritores clásicos y modernos: la crueldad de Agota Kristof, la amarga ironía de Kostolanyi o la misoginia de Sándor Márai. Su literatura desnuda es contundente en fondo y forma. No se puede ir más lejos en los relatos "Padre e hijo", "Matricidio" o "La muerte del mago". Son modélicos. Csáth se lanza sobre sus personajes como el cirujano que trepana en la mesa de operaciones a la búsqueda del tumor escondido en los rincones del alma. . *** Nota: Los envíos a Espańa peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

Condition: DISCRETO. NOTA:Segni d'usura alla copertina. / Roma, Edizioni E/O cm.15,5x21, pp.154, brossura con copertina figurata a colori. Scritti tra il 1905 e il 1912 anno in cui l'autore raggiunse l'apice del successo questi 19 racconti hanno come ambientazione interni di agiate famiglie borghesi in cittadine di provincia dove il tempo non scorre mai. Tutto sembra tranquillo e rassicurante fino a quando la tragedia esplode assumendo forme raccapriccianti: adulti in preda a visioni orrorifiche vittime del cinismo dei loro compaesani; bambini diabolici che torturano animali uccidono la madre impiccano la compagna di giochi immersi in un'atmosfera di terrore e di crudeltŕ ancora piů opprimente e asfittica della cappa polverosa che grava sul mondo regolare e scialbo dei loro genitori. Traduzione dall'ungherese di Marinella D'Alessandro. In appendice La piaga e il coltello di MArinella d'Alessandro.
