Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Con frecuencia se acepta que durante el siglo XIX y principios del XX fueron los escritores varones quienes desarrollaron y ampliaron el horizonte de los relatos atroces de misterio, y que las mujeres escritoras se limitaron a seguir su estela. ¡Nada más lejos de la realidad! La antologí…a que hoy presentamos reúne las contribuciones de dieciséis maestras y amantes del miedo exquisito; muchos de cuyos nombres se perdieron en las revistas pulp y underground de principios de siglo. Por fin podremos conocer el lado oscuro de «El jardín secreto», de Frances Hodgson Burnett, y en qué consistían las pesadillas de la mismísima Marie Corelli. Escucharemos cautivados, a la par que temerosos, las voces de las escritoras que poblaron las páginas de la revista Weird Tales, como Sophie Wenzel Ellis, Greye La Spina o Margaret St. Clair, y nos inclinaremos ante lo sensacional, lo surrealista y lo desafiante de sus magníficos relatos de terror. Un conjunto de narraciones que rompieron con las barreras del género en la época y que levantaron a sus autoras del abismo de la pobreza, de las adversidades de su infancia y de sus vidas de mujeres casaderas. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente. No aceptamos pedidos con destino a Ceuta y Melilla.

Beautifully produced book bound in traditional Japanese style. Thread sewn binding. Silk covers. The book is contained with a matching silk bound o…uter folder with 3 sections and bone clasps. The book is in fine condition - looks unread. Contains 24 prints of her paintings produced between 1971 and 1974, most of which have never been published before. Forward page written by Wang Yun-mu, the Chairman of the Administrative Council of the National Palace Museum. Published in Taiwan, 1979. Zhonghua Minguo Taibei : Guo li gu gong bo wu yuan, Minguo 68 (1979). Very large folio size book - 580mm high x 420mm wide. The book and its outer cover are contained in a very large outer folio cardboard cover with a coiled string closure. This is intact but has substantial marking due to water damage (contents inside not affected at all). This is of minor significance as these cardboard outer wraps would often have been discarded in any case. The outer folder measures 580mm high x 420mm wide. Soong May-ling, (or May-ling Soong Chiang) also known as Madame Chiang Kai-Shek was a remarkable and important figure in the history of the Republic of China. She was the First Lady of the Republic of China between 1948 and 1975, married to Generalissimo and President Chiang Kai-Shek. She lived from 1898 to 2003. With her first class education in the USA, and with her resultant excellent English she played an important role in political discussions. She was a politician and involved in charitable causes, as well as an accomplished painter in the traditional Chinese style, and after the death of her husband in 1975, moved from Taiwan back to the USA. Around 1988 to 1990 she did return to Taiwan and tried and become involved in politics again, but this time was unsuccessful, and returned to the USA. She was a beautiful and formidable lady, and has even been nicknamed The Last Empress. More photos on request. No extra postage other than that stated.
