"Mythologie Grecque et Romaine : Les Dieux supérieurs". Conçu comme un guide destiné au plus grand nombre, cet ouvrage avait pour sous-titre "Introduction facile et méthodique à la lecture des poètes. "L'objectif de son auteur, Jean Humbert, était d'écrire un livre "qui pût instruire sans ennui, qui fût clair avec décence, où la narration s'animât, et où l'unité de récit, ce point capital, ne fût pas sacrifiée." Il en résulte un ouvrage qui fait aujourd'hui figure de référence en la matière, complet, abordable mais érudit à la fois.

La bruja habita dentro y fuera de nosotros, vagando en senderos olvidados, aguardando en territorios familiares y en la oscuridad de la habitación que es nuestra mente. Las brujas han habitado en las sombras de la noche mucho antes de que decidiéramos cazarlas, se han presentado ante la humanidad bajo múltiples máscaras, deformadas e instrumentalizadas por el poder. Pero entre todas ellas, hay una máscara que jamás desaparece, aquella que personifica nuestros miedos más primitivos, y que, al mismo tiempo, nos atrae.

Las bellas artes folklóricas chinas son el arte de imágenes visuales creado para cubrir la propia necesidad de vida social del pueblo chino, que mezcla en la forma de la vida social tal como la vida productiva, los artículos de primera necesidad, el rito de vida y la convicción y tabú, etc. La connotación cultural y la forma de arte contienen tanto el sedimento de cultura e historia de China con siete u ocho mil años, desde la sociedad primitiva hasta hoy en día,como las ruinas de la cultura primitiva del culto a la naturaleza, al tótem, a los antepasados.

Baphomet, often misunderstood and cloaked in misinterpretations, has left an indelible mark on our collective consciousness, standing at the crossroads of the occult, religion, and the quest for arcane knowledge. This provocative entity, existing simultaneously as myth, magick, and symbol, demands an exploration not bound by the confines of a single discipline or perspective. Baphomet Revealed sets out to undertake this multifaceted exploration. Over the years, Baphomet has been called a demon, deity, and the devil himself, but Baphomet is none of these.

Il Giappone è il paese degli opposti: tradizione e modernità, spiritualità e tecnologia convivono fianco a fianco dando origine a una speciale alchimia. Il fascino che il paese del Sol levante esercita sui visitatori è quello di un luogo privo di una specifica collocazione, situato in un tempo e in uno spazio quasi magici, slegati da tutto il resto del mondo. Gli scenari del Giappone appaiono come livelli di un videogioco: gli enormi schermi e i vestiti gotici delle ragazze; le torri futuristiche e i bar con karaoke; i boschetti di bamboo e le cime ghiacciate.

In this "immersive, densely reported, and altogether remarkable first book [with] the texture and color of a first-rate novel" (New York Times), journalist Doug Bock Clark tells the epic story of the world's last subsistence whalers and the threats posed to a tribe on the brink. Deeply empathetic and richly reported, The Last Whalers is a riveting, powerful chronicle of the collision between one of the planet's dwindling indigenous peoples and the irresistible enticements and upheavals of a rapidly transforming world.

In The War on the West, Douglas Murray shows how many well-meaning people have been fooled by hypocritical and inconsistent anti-West rhetoric. After all, if we must discard the ideas of Kant, Hume, and Mill for their opinions on race, shouldn’t we discard Marx, whose work is peppered with racial slurs and anti-Semitism? Embers of racism remain to be stamped out in America, but what about the raging racist inferno in the Middle East and Asia?

The Mahabharata is one of the two major Sanskrit epics of ancient India. It is of immense importance to the culture of the Indian subcontinent and is a major text of Hinduism. Its discussion of human goals (artha or 'purpose', kama or 'pleasure', dharma or 'duty' and moksha or 'liberation') takes place in a long-standing tradition, attempting to explain the relationship of the individual to society and the world (the nature of the 'self') and the workings of karma.

Who knew the path to enlightenment could start with a cup of tea? Learn the hidden significance behind the deceptively simple Zen tea ceremony - one which can lead directly to Buddhahood and its absolute truth. D.T. Suzuki, once Japan's leading authority on Zen Buddhism, describes the tearoom and the tea ceremony and explains the guiding principles of harmony, reverence, purity, and tranquility.

The pain of abandonment, both real and metaphorical, can cast a shadow over our entire adult experience. Warming the Stone Child investigates the abandoned child archetype in world myths and cultures to find clues about the process of healing the "unmothered" child within us all. Spiced with Dr. Estes' wonderful storytelling, Warming the Stone Child is a unique listening experience with a practical edge.

The Strange Order of Things is a pathbreaking investigation into homeostasis, the condition that regulates human physiology within the range that makes possible not only the survival but also the flourishing of life. Antonio Damasio makes clear that we descend biologically, psychologically, and even socially from a long lineage that begins with single living cells; that our minds and cultures are linked by an invisible thread to the ways and means of ancient unicellular life and other primitive life-forms.

Estos ocho relatos hacen parte de las leyendas de distintos países iberoamericanos, pero los trasuntos literarios con que los presenta Gonzalo España los hace novedosos para la mayoría de los lectores: su tono de veracidad provoca la inquietante certidumbre de que más vale estar prevenido contra las almas en pena, que vienen a reclamar desde el más allá justicia para los muertos, como en "Un corte pasado de moda" (Colombia); contra los caprichos de Satán y su corte de violentos diablillos, que venden caro el atrevimiento de presuntuosos artistas en "Nom serviam" (México).
