Rustica (tapa blanda). Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: Nuevo. 01. El terror que trajo José Mallorquí Figuerola. . En junio de 1939, José Mallorquí Figuerola empezó a dirigir Narraciones Terroríficas, la primera revista pulp de terror en castellano de la historia. Por sus páginas desfilarían grandes autores de la mítica Weird Tales, a los que Mallorquí tradujo por primera vez a nuestro idioma. Y las primeras traducciones en el mundo. . Los mitos Cthulhu recopila varios relatos relacionados con la cosmogonía de terror cósmico creada por H. P. Lovecraft. Las declaraciones de Carter es un relato clásico, a lo Poe, que ya da antecedentes de su mitología. El diario de Alonso Typer, escrito en la etapa final del autor, recoge algunas claves de sus mitos: una herencia blasfema narrada como un diario personal. La maldición de Yig es uno de sus relatos de madurez y muestra temas como la insania y la unión contra natura, tan propios del escritor. Los relatos escritos por el joven Robert Bloch ya tienen la fuerza del futuro narrador consagrado: El dios sin rostro, una oda cruel a Nyarlathotep, y El vampiro riente, un guiño a los gules del Pickman de Lovecraft. En Hidra, Henry Kuttner explora la psicodelia lovecraftiana de ángulos extradimensionales, y en El subterráneo se sumerge en los cultos maléficos de una Nueva Inglaterra mágica. Robert Barbour Johnson aporta a los mitos la investigación paranormal moderna con su relato En el fondo. Con El visitante nocturno, Hugh B. Cave apunta a la tecnología para invocar a los primordiales. Finalmente, August Derleth y Mark Schorer nos narran con intriga terrorífica la historia de una criatura extraña en El monstruo del maelstrom. . La labor de mi padre dirigiendo Narraciones Terroríficas fue la de un pionero que trajo a los países hispanohablantes un género hasta entonces desconocido. CÉSAR MALLORQUÍ. LIBRO.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Stated First Edition. This is a very rare 1961 Doubleday & Company first edition. I found only one other for sale on the Internet. That one has some issues (stampings and tape marks) and is selling for approximately $140.00 in total. You can see the covers of my book in the photos. They are in really nice shape, exceptionally clean and no observable wear. The cover edges and corners are in excellent condition. The spine ends look very good, only the slightest bit of crinkling at the bottom one. There is one tiny tan spot on the bottom page edge but it does not migrate onto any of the actual pages. The middle page edge is deckled or rough-cut. The did a good job. The book is square and the spine is straight. The binding is very solid from cover to cover with nicely tight pages throughout and nicely tight covers as well. When you open the book you'll see a loose Doubleday & Company 'Book For Review' slip dated November 10, 1961. Apparently the book was sent to a reviewer. The front and rear inside covers and end papers both form the same map of Jamaica. Both maps are in very good shape. There is a very small scuff just off the top edge of the rear inside cover, not near to the actual map. The pages are exceptionally clean. Scrolling through, I'm not finding any instances of soiling. There are two sections of photographs, eight pages in each of them. There is a light bit of amber spotting off the top edge of one of the pages of photographs. There are two page flaws, both of which I consider fairly minor. On the first 150 or so pages there are a number of short and light impressions (colorless lines) that go about three quarters of the way down the page, just along the margin at the outer edge. The lines are equidistant from one another and do not reach the print in any instance. It's unusual and my guess would be that something pressed lately against them. It's not a rippling kind of thing because the areas of the pages that are affected are flat. If you run your finger over then you can only barely feel a slight difference, very slight. After page 150 these little lines continue but there are only five of them coming down from the top edge, so only coming about 1/5th of the way down the page. These light lines are not on the pages with photographs, those pages are of a slightly different material which I guess prevented them from forming. I am limited to five photographs, so if you want a photograph of what I have been laboring to describe feel free to contact me. The second flaw is a thin crease just above the bottom corners of pages 67-194. A very slight curving there, probably from a light bump, is the cause of these thin creases, all in the same place, far from the print. I'm not seeing any top corner creases. There are no placeholder creases. There are no markings in the book. There are no attachments of any kind. And no one has written their name or anything else anywhere. You can see the dust jacket in the first three photos. It's done pretty well. I see one teeny tiny tear (1/16th of an inch) off the front top edge and one of similar size off the rear top edge. There is a very small spot off the bottom edge of the front cover and another off the bottom edge of the rear cover. You can see what I'm describing in the photos. The spine is slightly toned. There is a little bit of crinkling at the bottom edge of the spine. The flaps are in solid shape, no tears, some light amber spotting, a light crease at the rear top corner. The jacket is NOT price-clipped, not clipped at all. It will be fitted with a protective cover after the photos are scanned. From the dust jacket: 'In short, here is an almost irresistible narrative that dodges in out of history and is the most reliable available guide, philosopher, and friend, if you want to learn about rum, coffee, or cane, or only about a dried toad for Obeah rites.'.
