Tapa blanda. Zustand: New. Para Calvino, «el cuento fantástico es uno de los productos más característicos de la narrativa del siglo XIX y, para nosotros, uno de los más significativos, pues es el que más nos dice sobre la interioridad del individuo y de la simbología colectiva. Para nuestra sensibilidad de hoy, el elemento sobrenatural en el centro de estas historias aparece siempre cargado de sentido, como la rebelión de lo inconsciente, de lo reprimido, de lo olvidado, de lo alejado de nuestra atención racional. En esto se ve la modernidad de lo fantástico, la razón de su triunfal retorno en nuestra época». El gran escritor italiano ha dividido su antología en dos partes, que ordenan la sucesión cronológica de los relatos en dos clasificaciones estilísticas. La primera, Lo fantástico visionario, reúne a una cuidada nómina de autores -Potocki, Eichendorff, Hoffmann, W. Scott, Balzac, Chasles, Nerval, Hawthorne, Gógol, Gautier, Mérimée y Le Fanu- cuyos cuentos tienen en común, bajo la descripción de un mundo encantado o infernal, una poderosa sugestión visual. La segunda, Lo fantástico cotidiano, compuesta por narraciones más abstractas y mentales, más psicológicas, congrega a escritores tan variados y significativos como Poe, Andersen, Dickens, Turguéniev, Leskov, Villiers de l'Isle-Adam, Maupassant, Vernon Lee, Bierce, Lorrain, Stevenson, H. James, Kipling y H. G. Wells. Esta edición de Cuentos fantásticos del XIX reúne en un solo volumen todos los relatos seleccionados y prologados por Italo calvino.…

That tradition is vividly portrayed in Gardens of Georgia, commissioned by the Garden Club of Georgia, Inc., to commemorate its sixtieth anniversary and to celebrate the heritage and beauty of Georgia's gardens.As noted by Georgia founder James Oglethorpe in 1732, Georgia has a happy climate. From the broad-shouldered mountains of the Blue Ridge, through the red clay of the rolling piedmont, across the sprawling piney coastal plain, and on to the subtropical islands on the Atlantic, Georgia is blessed with four regions of gardening opportunities, distinctly defined by differences in elevation, climate, soil, and natural vegetation.Writer William Mitchell and photographer Richard Moore have portrayed the wonders of gardens historic and contemporary, public and private, and urban, suburban, and rural from each of these regions. Whether illustrating overall gardenscapes or capturing intimate vignettes and individual blossoms, Richard Moore's photographs have a depth of color and clarity of detail that immerse the reader into a world of delightful splendor. The text by Willaim Mitchell not only describes the settings as they are today, but also spins a rich background of history in the context of the botanical Eden observed by early explorers.The richest legacy of each generation is to preserve and protect an always vulnerable natural environment and help nature bring forth its green and glowing cycles of rebirth. Gardens of Georgia celebrates that legacy, sharing the ongoing dream of paradise--a new Eden--whether it is in a grand formal garden from an earlier era or a small plot of perennials in a Georgia yard. ; FINE/FINE.

According to the author of this reader, the influence of the story "The Poor Little Match Girl" "founded many an orphan home and organized hundreds of societies for relief of the worthy poor," which indicates an emphasis on philanthropy and social work during the era of the Social Gospel.80% of selections taught traditional values."-- Sharon Vincz Andrews ; signature of a youthful Gerald Grout, later a Kansas Ophthalmologist ; GOOD.
