![]() Su originalidad consistió en dotar de nuevos horizontes a la narración fantástica mediante un realismo descriptivo que permitía situar un rico y terrible mundo ancestral al que respaldaba la ciencia, la razón, los sueños y los temores.Įsta obra, escrita a lo largo de diez años, es el resultado de un estudio brillante y que guarda dos direcciones: por un lado, la amplitud y la claridad de las ideas de Lovecraft, que hicieron de su trabajo un elemento fundamental en los estudios sobre lo que se ha dado en llamar la literatura fantástica, sacando a la liz sus preferencias como lector por otro lado, la referencia obligada a todo aquel que se aproxima a la obra de un maestro del género.Įl horror sobrenatural en la literatura es así, simultáneamente, un planteamiento teórico sobre el marco en que se desenvolvía la tarea de un escritor, y un rastreo en los antecedentes históricos para hallar la genealogía de obsesiones y sueños que reflejados en la literatura convierten al terror en una emoción cotidianamente humana y también, de alguna manera, en una huida imaginativa de la realidad. ![]() ![]() ![]() Lovecraft fue el creador de mitos, ritos, cosmogonías, que aspiraban paralelamente a la verosimilitud y al terror. ![]()

Ghost world novel5/21/2023 ![]() The women in the house knew it and so did the children.” In the Nobel prize-winning author’s most famous book, the ghost of a baby killed by her mother to save her from slavery is a malicious sprite but also a metaphor for the way in which the great evil of slavery haunts its victims after abolition, haunts the history of America and should haunt us all. This great testament to the horrors of slavery opens with a haunting. The very best ghost stories get you to suspend your disbelief because whatever the nature of their manifestation the rationale for that ghost existing is entirely convincing: here are some of them. Suddenly, there are a lot of verbs that can only be employed with the greatest of caution. The minute your ghost talks about whisking from one place to the next, or floating along a pavement, they sound like Casper. It’s surprisingly hard not to make a narrator-ghost appear twee. ![]() ![]() That created other problems, though – what could my ghost do? Could she move objects, pass through walls? In the case of Platform Seven, I answered that question right at the start by having the whole novel narrated by a ghost – that of a young woman who has died on Peterborough railway station and finds herself trapped there until the mystery of her death is solved. ![]()

The ancient Eleusinian mysteries of Life and Death center around this goddess. ![]() She was also approached for expiation during natural calamities and oddities. Sacramental stages in life such as birth, initiation, marriage, divorce, death saw many an offering made to her. During important stages in farming and animal husbandry she was invoked and appeased.

Falling leaves yen mah5/20/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() She was constantly a victim to everyone in her family, yet kept going back for more abuse. I didn't like how Adeline made herself out to be this perfect little angel who gave to everyone and just kept getting shit on. With a powerful voice that speaks of the harsh realities of growing up female in a family and society that kept girls in emotional chains, Falling Leaves is a work of heartfelt intimacy and a rare authentic portrait of twentieth-century China. Determined to survive through her enduring faith in family unity, Adeline struggled for independence as she moved from Hong Kong to England and eventually to the United States to become a physician and writer.Ī compelling, painful, and ultimately triumphant story of a girl's journey into adulthood, Adeline's story is a testament to the most basic of human needs: acceptance, love, and understanding. But wealth and position could not shield Adeline from a childhood of appalling emotional abuse at the hands of a cruel and manipulative Eurasian stepmother. ![]() Born in 1937 in a port city a thousand miles north of Shanghai, Adeline Yen Mah was the youngest child of an affluent Chinese family who enjoyed rare privileges during a time of political and cultural upheaval. ![]() |
