Zustand: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Con frecuencia se acepta que durante el siglo XIX y principios del XX fueron los escritores varones quienes desarrollaron y ampliaron el horizonte de los relatos atroces de misterio, y que las mujeres escritoras se limitaron a seguir su estela. ¡Nada más lejos de la realidad! La antología que hoy presentamos reúne las contribuciones de dieciséis maestras y amantes del miedo exquisito; muchos de cuyos nombres se perdieron en las revistas pulp y underground de principios de siglo. Por fin podremos conocer el lado oscuro de «El jardín secreto», de Frances Hodgson Burnett, y en qué consistían las pesadillas de la mismísima Marie Corelli. Escucharemos cautivados, a la par que temerosos, las voces de las escritoras que poblaron las páginas de la revista Weird Tales, como Sophie Wenzel Ellis, Greye La Spina o Margaret St. Clair, y nos inclinaremos ante lo sensacional, lo surrealista y lo desafiante de sus magníficos relatos de terror. Un conjunto de narraciones que rompieron con las barreras del género en la época y que levantaron a sus autoras del abismo de la pobreza, de las adversidades de su infancia y de sus vidas de mujeres casaderas. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

4to. 1 p. On "Headquarters of the Generalissimo" letterhead. Madame Chiang Kai-shek wrote from Nanjing, then the Chinese capital, less than two months before the Nanjing Massacre, in which invading Japanese forces slaughtered Chinese civilians. The massacre was part of the Second Sino-Japanese War the "undeclared war" mentioned in the letter in which Japanese Imperial forces invaded China. The Second Sino-Japanese War is considered to have opened the Pacific Theatre of World War Two. President and Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek had mobilized his best troops to defend Shanghai earlier that year and lost. Reluctant to wipe out the rest of his army in a hopeless defense of Nanjing, he withdrew most of his troops before the invasion: "Dear Mr. Yui, I think you are already acquainted with Mr. Kerran, of London, so it is not necessary for me to introduce him to you. Mr. Kerran is very interested in China's case in this undeclared war, and is anxious to get some close up ideas of the endurance of our soldiers in their defense against Japanese invasion. Therefore will you kindly show Mr. Kerran what courtesy you can in assisting him to pay a visit to the front so that he can see with his own eyes what is happening? Whatever you can do for Mr. Kerran will be appreciated. Yours sincerely, Mayling Soong Chiang (Madame Chiang Kai-shek)". The terrific content letter is in good very condition with toning and a mounting strip at the top.…
