El nombre de la rosa, de Umberto Eco0

FEB6
El nombre de la rosaTodo comienza una mañana de finales de noviembre de 1327, cuando Fray Guillermo de Baskerville, un antiguo inquisidor, y su inseparable discípulo, el novicio Adso de Melk –a la sazón quien relata la historia–, acuden a una abadía benedictina situada en el norte de Italia para intentar esclarecer la muerte del joven miniaturista Adelmo da Otranto.
Durante su estancia en la abadía van desapareciendo misteriosamente más monjes, a quienes encuentran muertos al poco tiempo. Lentamente y gracias a la información aportada por algunos monjes, el monje franciscano va esclareciendo los hechos. Leer más »

Descargas: Download the Complete Sherlock Holmes, Arthur Conan Doyle’s Masterpiece

in BooksLiterature | November 4th, 2014 Leave a Comment

sherlock_holmes_in_public-domain











I still remember the thrill I felt when I happened upon a set of the complete Sherlock Holmes stories at an antique store. For a mere ten dollars, I acquired handsomely bound, suitably patina-of-age-bearing editions of each and every one of the sleuth of 221B Baker Street’s adventures that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle ever wrote. In addition to this thrill, I also got a few surprises: first that all of those stories combined — the stories that made Holmes and his assistant Dr. John Watson into household names of nearly 130 years’ standing — fit into two not-especially-large books; second, that Holmes solved his mysteries not just in 56 short stories but four novels as well; and third, that many of those short stories and novels differed intriguingly in tone and content from my expectations. So many modern adaptations — all those television series up to the BBC’s new and expensive-looking Sherlock, the early CD-ROM computer game, Hayao Miyazaki’s steampunk animation Sherlock Hound, Guy Ritchie’s Robert Downey Jr.-showcasing Hollywood films — have convinced us we “know” Sherlock Holmes, which makes it all the more fascinating to investigate, as it were, the original literature.
These days, especially given the recent ruling (just re-affirmed by the Supreme Court) that Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes stories “are no longer covered by United States copyright law and can be freely used by creators without paying any licensing fee to the Conan Doyle estate,” you can download the complete Sherlock Holmes canon in a variety of ebook formats, from PDF to ePub to ASCII to MOBI for Kindle. If you prefer listening to reading, Librivox has made available three different versions of Sherlock Holmes in audiobook form. However you choose technologically to experience the Sherlock Holmes canon, I recommend taking it on chronologically, beginning with the 1887 novel A Study in Scarlet — less a mystery, to my mind, than the scary tale of a murderous Mormon sect — to 1927’s “The Adventure of Shoscombe Old Place,” Holmes’ final Conan Doyle-penned adventure. Somewhere in the middle — in 1893’s “The Final Problem,” to be precise — Holmes’ creator tried to kill the beloved detective off, but the reading public would have none of it. What about Sherlock Holmes stories had got them so hooked that they could successfully demand a resurrection? Now you, too, can find out, without even having to spend the ten dollars, let alone go to the antique store.
Bonus: Below, you can listen to The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, an old-time radio show that aired in the US from October 2, 1939 to July 7, 1947.

Descargas: La llamada de Cthulhu, de H.P. Lovecraft



La llamada de Cthulhu
De acuerdo a Wikipedia, La llamada de Cthulhu está compuesta por dos narrativas principales vinculadas por una tercera, la voz del «autor». Solo el autor es capaz de interpretar correctamente lo sucedido y es consciente de la importancia de la información que tiene en su poder, y va narrándolo siguiendo el orden en que él mismo fue descubriendo la verdad.


Comienza con la muerte de un eminente profesor de la Universidad de Miskatonic y el estudio de los documentos con los que estaba trabajando. Estos incluyen un informe sobre un ataque perpetrado por una secta. Una investigación sobre los miembros de la secta saca a la luz algunas pistas sobre la horrorosa criatura que veneran, Cthulhu. Este ser, que supuestamente llegó con sus seguidores extraterrestres desde las estrellas millones de años antes de la aparición del Hombre, ahora descansa en un sueño profundo en su ciudad sumergida, R’lyeh.La segunda parte de la historia empieza con el cuaderno de bitácora del primer oficial de un barco que descubre la ciudad hundida, pues esta ha emergido a la superficie en el Océano Pacífico. La ciudad emergió porque «las estrellas eran propicias» y el tiempo para el despertar de Cthulhu y sus engendros había llegado.

Online surrealismo

Extensive Archive of Avant-Garde & Modernist Magazines (1890-1939) Now Available Online

Surrealisme_1_Oct_1924
Having once been involved in the founding of an arts magazine, I have experienced intimately the ways in which such an endeavor can depend upon a community of equals pooling a diversity of skills. The process can be painful: egos compete, certain elements seek to dominate, but the successful product of such a collaborative effort will represent a living community of artists, writers, editors, and other masters of technique who subordinate their individual wills, temporarily, to the will of a collective, creating new gestalt identities from conceptual atoms. As Monoskop—“a wiki for collaborative studies of art, media and the humanities”—points out, “the whole” of an arts magazine, “could become greater than the sum of its parts.” Often when this happens, a publication can serve as the platform or nucleus of an entirely new movement.
Periszkop_1_Mar_1925
Monoskop maintains a digital archive of printed avant-garde and modernist magazines dating from the late-19th century to the late 1930s, published in locales from Arad to Bucharest, Copenhagen to Warsaw, in addition to the expected New York and Paris. From the latter city comes the 1924 first issue of Surrealisme at the top of the post. From the much smaller city of Arad in Romania comes the March, 1925 issue 1 of Periszkópabove, published in Hungarian and featuring works by Picasso, Marc Chagal, and many lesser-known Eastern European artists. Just below, see another Paris publication: the first, 1929 issue of Documents, a surrealist journal edited by Georges Bataille and featuring such luminaries as Cuban novelist Alejo Carpentier and artists Georges Braque, Giorgio De Chirico, Salvador Dali, Marchel Duchamp, Paul Klee, Joan Miro, and Pablo Picasso. Further down, see the first, 1926, issue of the Bauhaus journal, vehicle of the famous arts movement founded by Walter Gropius in 1919.
Documents_Vol_1_1929_1991
The variety of modernist and avant garde publications archived at Monoskop “provide us with a historical record of several generations of artists and writers.” They also “remind us that our lenses matter.” In an age of “the relentless linearity of digital bits and the UX of the glowing screen” we tend to lose sight of such critically important matters as design, typography, layout, writing, and the “techniques of printing and mechanical reproduction.” Anyone can build a website, fill it with “content,” and propagate it globally, giving little or no thought to aesthetic choices and editorial framing. But the magazines represented in Monoskop’s archive are specialized creations, the products of very deliberate choices made by groups of highly skilled individuals with very specific aesthetic agendas.
Bauhaus_1_1926
A majority of the publications represented come from the explosive period of modernist experimentation between the wars, but several, like the journal Rhythm: Art Music Literature—first published in 1911—offer glimpses of the early stirrings of modernist innovation in the Anglophone world. Others like the 1890-93 Parisian Entretiens politiques et littérairesshowcase the work of pioneering early French modernist forebears like Jules Laforgue (a great influence upon T.S. Eliot) and also André Gide and Stéphane Mallarmé. Some of the publications here are already famous, likeThe Little Review, many much lesser-known. Most published only a handful of issues.
MAVO_1_Jul_1924
With a few exceptions—such as the 1923 Japanese publication MAVOshown above—almost all of the journals represented at Monoskop’s archive hail from Eastern and Western Europe and the U.S.. While “only a few journals had any significant impact outside the avant-garde circles in their time,” the ripples of that impact have spread outward to encompass the art and design worlds that surround us today. These examples of the literary and design culture of early 20th century modernist magazines, like those of late 20th century postmodern ‘zines, provide us with a distillation of minor movements that came to have major significance in decades hence.
