Arde conmigo
by Steven Savile Alicia L. AlonsoEl autor británico de superventas de series como Doctor Who, Primeval y Torchwood presenta un thriller rodeado de ocultismo, en el que las calles del viejo Londres de la reina Victoria se ven sumidas en un caos de asesinatos y fenómenos sobrenaturales. Cosas muy extrañas y terroríficas ocurren en Londres. Los leones de Trafalgar han abandonado sus pedestales junto a la columna de Lord Nelson, para defender la ciudad y cumplir una antigua profecía. Mientras tanto, una presencia siniestra, libre de nuevo tras vivir aprisionada durante siglos, se ha lanzado a la caza de presas indefensas a través de las calles iluminadas por lámparas de gas y los mercados de carne del distrito de Whitechapel. Las mujeres que persigue son muy distintas de las prostitutas que están siendo brutalmente asesinadas por un tal Jack. Son mujeres que se hacen pasar por vendedoras de flores, pero por cuyas venas corre sangre de ángel. Entre estas dos fuerzas del bien y del mal se encuentran los Greyfriar, dispuestos a enfrentarse a los enemigos infernales sin más armas que su agudeza mental y un toque de magia de la vieja escuela. Para ellos, el éxito radica en poder rescatar la sangre inocente y los tiernos corazones que la hacen latir. El precio de la derrota es demasiado horrible. Únete a Dorian Carruthers y a los inquebrantables caballeros Greyfriar para evitar que el Diablo y sus secuaces tomen la ciudad y la hagan suya, en un viaje a través de las entrañas más oscuras de Londres y directo a la mismísima Escalera Catamina que baja a los infiernos.
Arde Josefina
by Luisa Reyes RetanaArde Josefina es una obra en minucioso estado de combustión, una novela tan sobrecogedora como deslumbrante. Josefina y Juan son hermanos; nacieron en Mánchester, pero desde muy jóvenes se mudan a México con sus padres. Su vida en la Ciudad de México es igual que su casa: fría, silenciosa y fantasmal. Jon y Holly son padres distantes; para ellos la crianza de sus hijos es una especie de incomodidad administrativa, un trámite que, al paso del tiempo, se vuelve intolerable. Es evidente que algo no está bien con el menor de los hermanos: es ansioso y violento, se agrede a sí mismo y a los demás. En un principio, Jon y Holly no quieren enfrentar la posible enfermedad de su hijo, pues ésta resquebraja la pantalla de aséptico orden que han impuesto a sus existencias. Sin embargo, el furioso sufrimiento de Juan lo sacude todo. Acuden con un especialista que diagnostica una esquizofrenia temprana. La frialdad de los británicos se convierte en franco desprecio y Josefina asume el cuidado físico y emocional de su hermano. Pasan los años y Jon y Holly deciden regresar a vivir a Inglaterra, dejando la tutela de Juan a Josefina. Es la consumación del abandono de toda una vida. Juan debe ser ingresado a un hospital psiquiátrico. Josefina, huésped espectral de su propia vida, nuevamente deberá hacerse cargo de todo. Arde Josefina es una obra en minucioso estado de combustión, una novela tan sobrecogedora como deslumbrante. Es, también, el puntual recordatorio de que toda familia es un incendio.
Arden: A Study of His Plays (Routledge Revivals)
by Albert HuntJohn Arden was one of the major playwrights to have emerged during the 1950s, yet his work has arguably been misunderstood. In this book, first published in 1974, Albert Hunt’s primary concern is to relate the plays written by John Arden alone, as well as those written in collaboration with Margaretta D’Arcy, both to Arden’s whole concept of theatre, and to his social and political attitudes. The book begins with a biographical introduction, followed by a play-by-play study of Arden’s work and a survey of the impact of his plays in performance, alongside fascinating images. Celebrating the work and life of the playwright, this timely reissue will be of particular value to students of theatre studies as well as professional actors with an interest in John Arden’s plays and theatrical ideologies.
