Adela Cathcart (The Cullen Collection #4)
by George MacDonaldFairy tales told around the fire on Christmas Eve—including &“The Light Princess,&” &“The Shadows,&” &“The Golden Key,&” and &“The Giant&’s Heart.&” Reminiscent of Chaucer&’s Canterbury Tales, MacDonald&’s attempt to package a collection of short stories in the guise of a novel is built around a group of snowbound travelers attempting to pass the time in a country house by sharing stories in hopes of distracting young Adela Cathcart from her illness. Early in his career, MacDonald was trying different genres and storytelling methods, and this is a prime example of his creative experimentation. First published in 1865, the included stories changed with a new edition in 1882. Some of MacDonald&’s well-known short stories made their first appearance in one of the two editions. This new publication from Michael Phillips includes the best from both original editions.

Un adelanto del fin del mundo (Flash Poesía #Volumen)
by Arthur RimbaudUn adelanto del fin del mundo, de la colección «Poesía portátil», es una colección de embates apasionados de Arthur Rimbaud, un rebelde que supo hurgar en el infierno para revolucionar la poesía. Rimbaud rompió las costuras de la poesía moderna cuando todavía no había cumplido veinte años. A tan pronta edad deflagró también los límites de la bohemia. Rebelde ejemplar, entendía la figura del poeta como una suerte de vidente de una vida nueva, un icono romántico movido por una fiebre que estrellaba en decenas de hojas sueltas. Reunimos ahora algunos de sus principales poemas, resultado de sus años en París, de la truculenta pasión que le unió a Paul Verlaine, del malvivir, el emborracharse, del no ser feliz pero ser siempre salvaje.

Adeline: A Novel Of Virginia Woolf
by Norah VincentOn 18 April 1941, twenty-two days after Virginia Woolf went for a walk near her weekend house in Sussex and never returned, her body was reclaimed from the River Ouse. Norah Vincent's ADELINE reimagines the events that brought Woolf to the riverbank, offering us a denouement worthy of its protagonist. With poetic precision and psychological acuity, Vincent channels Virginia and Leonard Woolf, T. S. and Vivienne Eliot, Lytton Strachey and Dora Carrington, laying bare their genius and their blind spots, their achievements and their failings, from the inside out. And haunting every page is Adeline, the name given to Virginia Stephen at birth, which becomes the source of Virginia's greatest consolation, and her greatest torment. Intellectually and emotionally disarming, ADELINE - a vibrant portrait of Woolf and her social circle, the infamous Bloomsbury Group, and a window into the darkness that both inspired and doomed them all - is a masterpiece in its own right by one of our most brilliant and daring writers.
