Taschen GmbH Marvel Comics Library. Fantastic Four. Vol. 1.
Book SynopsisHoping to break out of a sales slump at Marvel in the early 1960s, veteran comic creators Stan Lee and Jack Kirby hit on the idea of doing a super team. Kirby, who thought superheroes were due for a revival after 15 years of being pushed aside by romance, horror, and war comics, saw it as smart business. Lee just once wanted to “do the type of story I myself would enjoy reading.” The Fantastic Four forever changed their careers, their lives, and the comic book industry. Some of the most iconic moments in Marvel history are here, starting with Reed Richards, his girlfriend Sue Storm, his best friend Ben Grimm, and her little brother Johnny Storm crash landing their rocket after it has been hit cosmic rays and discovering they have been transformed into Mr. Fantastic, the Invisible Girl, the Thing, and the Human Torch in issue No. 1. They were emotionally complex characters, who weren’t always sure whether their powers were a benefit or burden. Stories were set in New York City, not some fictional stand-in, and Marvel heroes regularly crossed over into each other’s books. The art was dynamic and the writing conversational and engaging. Lee and Kirby were like the Lennon and McCartney of comic books. Where the talents of one ended and the other began was not always clear, but together one plus one equaled three. Collected here in an XXL-size volume are the first 20 issues reproduced from the most pristine pedigreed original comics, which were cracked open and photographed in close collaboration with Marvel and the Certified Guaranty Company. Featured alongside the comics is an in-depth essay by acclaimed Marvel writer Mark Waid, a foreword by former NASA astronaut Mike Massimino, and original art, photographs, and other rarities. Welcome true believers to the Marvel Age of Comics. © 2022 MARVELTrade Review“TASCHEN’s Marvel Comics Library represents a sincere respect and appreciation for comics history.” * Comic Book Resources *“Kirby’s breathtaking cosmic art has never looked better in this oversized format.” * screenrant.com *"Stan Lee was ready to give up on writing comic books in 1960—after 20 years in the business— when his wife, famously, urged him to try writing one that he would like.

Broadview Press Ltd Hauntings and Other Fantastic Tales
Book SynopsisVernon Lee writes in the Preface to Hauntings, "My ghosts are what you call spurious ghosts... of whom I can affirm only one thing, that they haunted certain brains, and have haunted, among others, my own." First published in 1890, Lee's most famous volume of supernatural tales occupies a special place in the literature of the fantastic for its treatment of the femme fatale and the allure of the past, along with the themes of thwarted artistic creativity and psychological obsession. This collection, which includes the four stories originally published in Hauntings and three others, enables readers to consider Lee's work anew for its subtle redefinitions of gender and sexuality during the Victorian fin-de-siècle. The appendices, which include extensive excerpts from writings by Lee's predecessors and peers, including Algernon Charles Swinburne, Walter Pater, and Lee's brother Eugene Lee-Hamilton, allow the reader to see how Lee takes on the themes and preoccupations of the late-Victorian period but adapts them to her own purposes.Trade Review“At last we have a modern edition of Vernon Lee’s most important ghost stories! Maxwell and Pulham have made it possible to study and teach this key fin-de-siècle writer, whose work so deserves fresh attention. The impeccable annotations will add greatly to our understanding of Lee’s many artistic and literary references. A fine set of additional readings document the rich exchange of ideas and materials in her literary circle. Readers new to Lee will be fascinated by her masterful evocations of the past, while old friends will delight in the full critical apparatus. Brava!” — Martha Vicinus, University of Michigan“Aficionados of the fin-de-siècle and modernism have always been fascinated by the art historian, aesthetician, and fiction writer Vernon Lee, and her audience has increased dramatically in the last decade. This timely edition of Lee’s supernatural stories reveals the nooks and crannies of Lee’s brain as she studies those of European art, architecture, and taste. These witty stories, a veritable Italy of the mind, are more psychological than supernatural. They illustrate Lee’s belief that only the absolutely modern writer can raise real spectres of the antique, only the truly sceptical can depict belief with such passion.” — Regenia Gagnier, University of Exeter“Ghosts don’t exist: they are experienced. Starting from this observation, later echoed by Freud, the liminal late-nineteenth- early-twentieth-century figure Vernon Lee became the first master of the modern supernatural tale. Lee’s masterpiece, Hauntings, returns to life with additional stories in a first-rate edition from Broadview Press, with valuable contextual materials provided by Catherine Maxwell and Patricia Pulham. Let the work of seduction begin.” — Richard Dellamora, Trent UniversityTable of ContentsAcknowledgementsIntroductionVernon Lee: A Brief ChronologyA Note on the TextsPreface to Hauntings (1890)“Amour Dure” (1887, 1890)“Dionea” (1890)“Oke of Okehurst” (1886, 1890)“A Wicked Voice” (1887, 1890)“Prince Alberic and the Snake Lady” (1896)“A Wedding Chest” (1904)Preface to “The Virgin of the Seven Daggers” (1927)“The Virgin of the Seven Daggers” (1896, 1909, 1927)Appendix A: From Algernon Charles Swinburne, “Notes on Designs of the Old Masters at Florence” (1868, 1875)Appendix B: From Walter Pater, “Pico della Mirandula” (1871, 1873)Appendix C: From Walter Pater, “Lionardo da Vinci” (1869, 1873)Appendix D:Vernon Lee, “Faustus and Helena: Notes on the Supernatural in Art” (1880, 1881) Appendix E: A.

Oxford University Press Stories about Stories
Book SynopsisMyth is oral, collective, sacred, and timeless. Fantasy is a modern literary mode and a popular entertainment. Yet the two have always been inextricably intertwined. Stories about Stories examines fantasy as an arena in which different ways of understanding myth compete and new relationships with myth are worked out. The book offers a comprehensive history of the modern fantastic as well as an argument about its nature and importance. Specific chapters cover the origins of fantasy in the Romantic search for localized myths, fantasy versions of the Modernist turn toward the primitive, the post-Tolkienian exploration of world mythologies, post-colonial reactions to the exploitation of indigenous sacred narratives by Western writers, fantasies based in Christian belief alongside fundamentalist attempts to stamp out the form, and the emergence of ever-more sophisticated structures such as metafiction through which to explore mythic constructions of reality.Trade ReviewI highly recommend Brian Attebery's new book. It's a scholarly work, but it reads with bright clarity as takes us back and forth between fantasy and myth, showing not only the connections, but also how the best of fantasy is a roadmap that can return the reader to its source material. * Fantasy and Science Fiction *Brian Attebery is the most readable, the most knowledgeable, and the least quarrelsome of critics. Stories about Stories adds new vistas of understanding to his unsurpassed survey of imaginative literature. * Ursula K. Le Guin *Brian Attebery hits the mother lode in this brilliant archaeology of fantasy and myth. The closest thing to a definitive guide for what C.S. Lewis called 'lies breathed through silver,' Stories about Stories enables us to understand the higher truths of narratives that walk a tightrope between sacred and profane, faith and skepticism, poetry and prose. * Maria Tatar, author of Enchanted Hunters *With radiant clarity, Brian Attebery's Stories about Stories examines what happens when we 'imagine our way into the realms of mastery and wonder' by considering the performative and contextualizing nature of narrative. It is a brilliant book by one of the fantastic's most informed, most penetrating, and wisest critics, who understands that the subjectivity of fictive knowledge is the engine behind its energy and fascination. * Peter Straub *Stories about Stories is the best analysis we yet possess of mythopoesis. Attebery's work mediates powerfully between the creative appropriations of myth in modern fantasy, a story known to many, and the less well-known stories of the scholarly rediscovery of myth, and the tenuous survival of oral narrative and myth in living context. * Tom Shippey, the author of The Road to Middle Earth *Table of ContentsTable of Contents ; Acknowledgments ; Introduction ; Chapter 1: Fantasy as a Route to Myth ; Taxonomic Interlude: A Note on Genres ; Chapter 2: Make It Old: The Other Mythic Method ; Chapter 3: Silver Lies and Spinning Wheels: Christian Myth in MacDonald and Lewis ; Chapter 4: Romance and Formula, Myth and Memorate ; Chapter 5: Expanding the Territory: Colonial Fantasy ; Chapter 6: Angels, Fantasy, and Belief ; Literalist Interlude: Burning Harry Potter ; Chapter 7: The Postcolonial Fantastic ; Chapter 8: Coyote's Eyes: Situated Fantasy ; Works Cited

Ediciones Cátedra Cuentos fantásticos chinos
Book SynopsisDentro de la muy larga tradición de la cuentística china, la corriente del relato extraordinario tiene sus orígenes, al menos, en el siglo IV a. C., momento desde el cual se ha venido cultivando con extremada riqueza. Tratar de describir en poco espacio su extensión y su diversidad no solo resultaría imposible por los muchos relatos que se agrupan bajo esta etiqueta, sino también por lo multifacético de sus irradiaciones a otras esferas de la cultura china y de otros países, desde la pintura, la ópera o la arquitectura a las grandes novelas extensas de las dinastías Ming y Ching, la novela de artes marciales, el cine y la novela de terror, la poesía o la música. La presente antología abarca desde aquellos primeros albores hasta el siglo XVIII, cuando aparece el gran maestro del género: Yuan Mei (1716-1797), por lo que servirá al lector, además de como puerta de entrada a la narrativa fantástica china, como muestra de la vastísima y detallada información sociológica, religiosa y etnográfica que esta contiene.
