A Study in Scarlet (0062293753)

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's first novel-and the origin story of Sherlock Holmes and John Watson-is reimagined in the first unabridged, fully illustrated version since its debut, by acclaimed and bestselling illustrator Gris Grimly. The year is 1881. The city, London. A man lies dead in an empty house, not a mark upon him, and no clues-save for the word "RACHE" scrawled in blood on the wall above. Elsewhere, two men-a former army doctor called John Watson and a brilliant eccentric called Sherlock Holmes-meet for the first time. These two events set in motion an adventure into the darkest corners of men's hearts as the cold, calculating investigative methods of Mr. Holmes are put to the test in a case that spans decades and continents, rife with danger and intrigue. Originally published in 1887, A Study in Scarlet was the first novel to feature a character whose name would become synonymous with the art of deduction. Today it is completely reimagined with artwork by the m...

Historia de las tierras y lugares legendarios / History of land and legendary places (9788426401465)



Un viaje por los espacios imaginarios de la cultura de todos los tiempos de la mano de Umberto Eco, un cicerón de categoría.


«Umberto Eco cambió nuestra mirada sobre los libros: imprescindibles, pequeños, frágiles, a veces criminales, casi siempre salvadores. Un maestro que nos enseñó a entrelazar la sabiduría y el juego con su estilo sagaz y lúdico, con su asombrosa inventiva y certera lucidez.»
Irene Vallejo

Nuestra imaginación está poblada de tierras y lugares que nunca han existido, de la cabaña de los siete enanitos a las islas visitadas por Gulliver, del templo de los Thugs de Salgari al piso de Sherlock Holmes.

Por lo general, sabemos que estos espacios son tan solo producto de la fantasía de un narrador o de un poeta. En cambio, y desde tiempos muy remotos, la humanidad ha fantaseado con lugares que se han considerado reales, como la Atlántida, Mu, Lemuria, las tierras de la reina de Saba, el reino del Preste Juan, las Islas Afortunadas, El Dorado, la última Thule, Hiperbórea y el país de las Hespérides, el lugar donde se conserva el santo Grial, la roca de los asesinos del Viejo de la Montaña, el país de Jauja, las islas de la utopía, la isla de Salomón y la tierra austral, y el misterioso reino subterráneo de Agartha.

Muchos de estos lugares han sido el origen de fascinantes leyendas y han inspirado algunas de las espléndidas representaciones visuales que aparecen en esta obra; otros han alimentado la fantasía trastornada de los cazadores de misterios, y los hay que incluso han estimulado viajes y exploraciones. Así, persiguiendo una ilusión, viajeros de todos los países han descubierto otras tierras y ahora el lector podrá vivir estas aventuras de la mano del gran maestro Umberto Eco.

«La obra más soñadora y visionaria de Eco. [...] Un mundo fantástico, tan fantástico como el de hoy en día.»

Bohnchang Koo, Harper's Bazaar
