Book excerpt: Thomas Ligotti is often cited as the most curious and remarkable figure in horror literature since H. P. Lovecraft. His work is noted by critics for its display of an exceptionally grotesque imagination and accomplished prose style. In his stories, Ligotti has followed a literary tradition that began with Edgar Allan Poe, portraying characters that are outside of anything that might be called normal life, depicting strange locales far off the beaten track, and rendering a grim vision of human existence as a perpetual nightmare. The horror stories collected in Teatro Grottesco feature tormented individuals who play out their doom in various odd little towns, as well as in dark sectors frequented by sinister and often blackly comical eccentrics. The cycle of narratives introduce readers to a freakish community of artists who encounter demonic perils that ultimately engulf their lives.

Book excerpt: El hechizo de tantos mundos habla de lo bello, estimulante, potencialmente fertil que es el vivir en un mundo pluralista: muchos pueblos, valores, realidades y perspectivas. Y por supuesto muchas preguntas. La primera parte del libro consiste en seis conversaciones, realizadas en Roma, entre la misma autora Ornella Rota y un General de la Aeronautica Militar Vincenzo Parma, personaje eclectico y culto, curioso de viajes en el sentido más amplio de la palabra. La segunda parte comprende las conversaciones entre un músico y artista visual Angelo Sturiale y el famoso escritor mexicano Felipe Montes. Estas conversaciones, realizadas en Monterrey en español, han sido grabadas, traducidas y arregladas por Ornella Rota. Como conclusión ideal de estas reflexiones, el último capítulo, "Descubrimientos", propone un dialogo entre Vincenzo Parla y Angelo Sturiale. Por lo tanto, este libro constituye el resultado de escritura de un lato al otro del Oceano, reuniendo cuatro personajes en apariencia tantos distintos entre si, pero en realidad acomunados por el auspicio de un mundo en el cual pueden coexistir, respetandose entre si e interagir tantas y distintas culturas, enfoques, estilos de vida "quizás profundamente diversas pero todos en lo absoluto dignos de igual consideración, siempre que sean dispuestos a respetar irrenunciablemente los derechos humanos", comenta Vincenzo Parma. Angelo Sturiale espera en la conquista del pluralismo incluso en las esferas más privadas, por ejemplo en la idea de familia "que sigue siendo la realidad más importante de la vida y que pero cada uno tiene el derecho de vivirla según sus propios modelos, siempre que no haya violencia, por ningún tipo y motivo". A parte con sus palabras, Angelo Sturiale está presente en el libro con sus dibujos: esenciales, enigmaticos, cosmopolitas, inconfundibles.

Book excerpt: "Cortazar's masterpiece ... The first great novel of Spanish America" (The Times Literary Supplement) • Winner of the National Book Award for Translation in 1967, translated by Gregory Rabassa Horacio Oliveira is an Argentinian writer who lives in Paris with his mistress, La Maga, surrounded by a loose-knit circle of bohemian friends who call themselves "the Club." A child's death and La Maga's disappearance put an end to his life of empty pleasures and intellectual acrobatics, and prompt Oliveira to return to Buenos Aires, where he works by turns as a salesman, a keeper of a circus cat which can truly count, and an attendant in an insane asylum. Hopscotch is the dazzling, freewheeling account of Oliveira's astonishing adventures.

Book excerpt: The classic account of survivors of the sleeping-sickness during the great epidemic just after World War I—and their return to the world after decades of “sleep.” • “One of the most beautifully composed and moving works of our time" (The Washington Post) from the distinguished neurologist and the national bestselling author of The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat. Awakenings—which inspired the major motion picture starring Robert DeNiro and Robin Williams—is the remarkable story of a group of patients who contracted sleeping-sickness during the great epidemic just after World War I. Frozen for decades in a trance-like state, these men and women were given up as hopeless until 1969, when Dr. Oliver Sacks gave them the then-new drug L-DOPA, which had an astonishing, explosive, "awakening" effect. Dr. Sacks recounts the moving case histories of his patients, their lives, and the extraordinary transformations which went with their reintroduction to a changed world.

Book excerpt: For more than three decades, Lucien ' one of the most notorious characters in the history of the novel ' has haunted the imaginations of readers around the world. Remarkably, the astounding protagonist of Gabrielle Wittkop's lyrical 1972 novella, The Necrophiliac, has never appeared in English until now. This new translation introduces readers to a masterpiece of French literature, striking not only for its astonishing subject matter but for the poetic beauty of the late author's subtle, intricate writing. Like the best writings of Edgar Allan Poe or Baudelaire, Wittkop's prose goes far beyond mere gothic horror to explore the melancholy in the loneliest depths of the human condition, forcing readers to confront their own mortality with an unprecedented intimacy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A research scientist’s fascinating study of plant communication reveals how we “have been misunderstanding plants, and ourselves, for all of history” (The Paris Review). “A compelling story of discovery . . . [that] will change the way you see the world”—for fans of The Hidden Life of Trees (Robin Wall Kimmerer, author of Braiding Sweetgrass) In this “phytobiography”—a collection of stories written in partnership with a plant—research scientist Monica Gagliano shares genuine first-hand accounts from her research into plant communication and cognition. By transcending the view of plants as the objects of scientific materialism, Gagliano encourages us to rethink plants as people—beings with subjectivity, consciousness, and volition, and hence having the capacity for their own perspectives and voices. The book draws on up-close-and-personal encounters with the plants themselves, as well as plant shamans, indigenous elders, and mystics from around the world and integrates these experiences with an incredible research journey and the groundbreaking scientific discoveries that emerged from it. Gagliano has published numerous peer-reviewed scientific papers on how plants have a Pavlov-like response to stimuli and can learn, remember, and communicate to neighboring plants. She has pioneered the brand-new research field of plant bioacoustics, for the first time experimentally demonstrating that plants emit their own 'voices' and, moreover, detect and respond to the sounds of their environments. By demonstrating experimentally that learning is not the exclusive province of animals, Gagliano has re-ignited the discourse on plant subjectivity and ethical and legal standing. This is the story of how she made those discoveries and how the plants helped her along the way.
