Trade paperback. Condition: Fine. excellent condition, Contra Natura es algo asà como la biblia del espÃritu decadente del fin de siglo XIX. Y, si damos crà dito a lo que dice el propio Huysmans, «todos los fines de siglo se parecen», podemos creer que à ste es el momento más adecuado para dar nueva vida, en nuestro idioma, a esta obra maestra de la literatura universal. Guillermo Cabrera Infante, para quien, al parecer, esta novela fue durante años libro de cabecera, escribià un hermoso prà logo, «Al revà s de la Naturaleza», para nuestra primera edicià n publicada en 1980, que nos honramos en reproducir aquÃ. Contra Natura (1884) forma, junto A vau-l eau (1882) y En rade (1887), un trÃptico que colocà a Huysmans entre los autores más conocidos, leÃdos y polà micos de su à poca. A travà s del personaje de Des Esseintes, Huysmans no sà lo describià e inmortalizà el torpor, la languidez y las venenosas y perversas neurosis spleenescas del siglo que terminaba, sino que lo encarnà en un hà roe kierkegaardiano, grotesco y patà tico a la vez, que pasà a ser una de las figuras más representativas de la angustia que haya dejado la literatura. Es, en cierto modo, el precursor de Roquentin, el protagonista de La náusea, de Sartre. La tercera persona a la que recurre el autor para narrar el profundo rechazo y el tedio ? que lo corrompe todo? de Des Esseintes, no es más, en realidad, que una máscara que encubre al propio Huysmans. Des Esseintes era simplemente su Mister Hyde, del que sà lo podÃa librarse, para salvarse como escritor, y quizá como hombre, expulsándolo fuera de sà mediante la escritura, y reconociendo asà la presencia fantasmal de su doble.

A single sheet measuring 8-3/8" by 11" and printed on both sides. Containing background information and Recommended Action, the majority of text reads: "Amnesty International has learned that the bodies of four students were found on 10 September, some 200 metres from the Universidad de San Carlos (USAC), San Carlos University, in Guatemala City. All the bodies reportedly bore signs of torture. Among them were Victor Hugo Rodriguez Jaramillo and his wife, Silvia Maria Azurdia Utrera. The body of USAC economics student, Carlos Leonel Chuta Camey, was found together with the two above-named. Carlos Chuta was reportedly abducted on the morning of 8 September 1989 by heavily armed men in plain clothes, outside his home, in the presence of his wife and 10-month-old daughter. He had been a leader of the Asociacion de Estudiantes Universitarios (AEU), Association of University Students during 1987-1988. Also found was the body of 48-year-old Carlos Humberto Cabrera Rivera, who was seized at 8:00 am on the morning of 9 September 1989, as he was washing his car in front of his house. He was abducted by heavily armed men in plain clothes using a Blazer (a type of large van with private license plates which sources in Guatemala say is used by 'officials' of the government). Carlos Cabrera was a student of humanities and an ex-director of the AEU. He was also a member of the Asamblea Nacional de Magisterio (ANM), National Teachers' Assembly, and had been involved in the nation-wide teachers' strike which ended on 17 September 1989." Also: "Amnesty International is now gravely concerned for the fate of the five remaining students, all leaders of the AEU, still 'disappeared'" (Ivan Ernesto Gonzalez Fuentes; Carlos Contreras Conde; Hugo Leonel Gramajo; Mario Arturo de Leon Mendez; and Aaron Ubaldo Ochoa).
