Nightmares of an Ether-Drinker
ISBN: 9781943813025 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. None of Jean Lorrain's biographers has contrived to discover exactly when or why he began taking ether, or how much of it he took before realising (too late) that it was an extremely bad idea. The drug certainly helped provide the feverish, nightmarish atmosphere of these wonderfully decadent and sophisticated tales, and many of the apparitions with which they are populated. Brian Stableford's superb translations represent the first appearance in English of Jean Lorrain's ether-inspired 'nightmares', originally collected as Sensations et Souvenirs in 1895. The later tales... None of Jean Lorrain's biographers has contrived to discover exactly when or why he began taking ether, or how much of it he took before realising ... |

The Tale of Gold and Silence
ISBN: 9781612270630 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Gustave Kahn, born in in 1859, was at the heart of the Symbolist Movement in the 1890s, a pioneer and champion of free verse and one of the editors of the prestigious Mercure de France. Much Symbolist prose -- The Tale of Gold and Silence (1898) is a cardinal example -- can be construed as an exercise in the further development of the archetypal images subsequently categorized and explored by Jung. The Tale of Gold and Silence (1898) occupies a location that is virtually unique. It is not only Kahn's most overtly extravagant symbolist novel, but one of the most overtly extravagant symbolist...

In the 40 stories assembled in this collection, originally published in 1901, journalist Paul Vibert explores such ground-breaking concepts as the artificial insemination of elephants with the seed of prehistoric mastodons found preserved in ice, the artificial production of microbe-sized humans, the existence of an underwater world inhabited by Ancient Jews, communication with Mars and other worlds via light signals, the power to look into the past, the electrical nature of the soul, the strange chemical lifeforms of the future, artificial Metempsychosis and the conquest of space.

Captain Vampire
ISBN: 9781934543016 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Written in 1879 (18 years before "Dracula") by 19-year-old Marie Nizet, "Captain Vampire" is way ahead of its time. Although its plot has supernatural elements, and its antagonist is manifestly demonic, the novels true purpose is to bring out the horror of war. A significant work in the history of horror fiction, it is undoubtedly one of the finest literary works ever to have made use of the vampire motif.

The Tarantulas' Parlor: And Other Unkind Tales
ISBN: 9781943813155 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Praised by Borges, the Unkind Tales of LEon Bloy were produced in a phase of literary evolution that was exploratory and experimental, and hence intrinsically exciting. Lingering on the frontiers of Decadence, Naturalism, and Symbolism, these stories of the damned and the foolish, of terrible fates and ludicrous situations, helped map out the terrain of the conte cruel and are, probably, the author's most noteworthy work. In this, an authoritative translation of the volume originally published as Histories dEsobligeantes, Brian Stableford, in both his insightful...

The Crazy Corner
ISBN: 9781612271422 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 308 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Mad scientists, parrots from Atlantis, witches, madmen, monsters, korrigans, demons, magical paintings and a water sprite trapped in a mirror are but a few of the amazing characters featured in this collection of 45 stories from the 1890s and early 1900s, aptly entitled The Crazy Corner, which maps out the frontier between madness and nightmare. Of all the late 19th century writers of contes cruels, Jean Richepin (1849-1926) was the cruelest when it came to the treatment of his characters, not so much in the nasty fates to which they were often delivered -- which are typical of the entire...
