  • Micrographia (Summarized Edition)

    Enriched edition. Microscopic observations and experimental science in 17th-century England: non-fiction classic of natural philosophy with innovative illustrations

    de Robert Hooke, Sophia Webb, Sophia Webb ...
    Micrographia (1665) opens a vast new world by recording, in crystalline prose and sumptuous copperplates, the textures and structures of minute bodies—flea and louse, bee-sting and feather, mold, needle point, and the honeycombed cork in which Hooke first named the 'cells.' Organized as a sequence of observations with reflective 'Inquiries,' the book marries measurement with speculation, and sets ... Leer más

    de Nostradamus, Rosalind Thatcher, Sophia Webb ...
    Traducido por Edgar Leoni ...
    First published in 1555 and enlarged thereafter, Les Propheties gathers cryptic quatrains into ten Centuries. Ominous scenes of comets, kings, sieges, and plague are cast in dense, rhymed lines whose anagrams, ellipses, and multilingual puns practice studied obscurity.

    de Honoré de Balzac, Kara Brackley, Sophia Webb ...
    Traducido por Katharine Prescott Wormeley ...
    Balzac's Catherine de Medici, a triptych within La Comédie humaine, reconstructs the Valois court through a blend of documentary citation and high drama. Set amid the Wars of Religion, it follows the queen mother's calculations among Guises, Bourbons, and Huguenot chiefs, her recourse to astrologers like the Ruggieri, and the workings of raison d'État.

    Enriched edition. An early 20th-century gentleman-sleuth whodunit of mysterious murder, literary parody, and unique twists—first case in a classic series

    de E. C. Bentley, Sophia Webb, Sophia Webb ...
    Published in 1913, Trent's Last Case introduces Philip Trent, a painter-journalist probing the death of an American tycoon on his English estate. Bentley inverts the Holmesian model: the detective falls in love, misreads clues, and revises his own theory. Fair-play evidence abounds, yet multiple provisional solutions dramatize how perception, desire, and the press manufacture narratives. The prose ... Leer más

    A Magician Among the Spirits is Houdini's incisive autopsy of the seance vogue that followed war and pandemic. In a cool, prosecutorial prose, he inventories slate-writing, trumpets, ectoplasm, billet tests, and spirit photography, then reconstructs, step by step, the methods that produced them.

Blending expository exegesis with courtroom invective, he wields Pauline argument, Septuagint proof-texts, typology, and relentless anaphora to assert Christian supersession and deter 'judaizing'. The homilies are ... Leer más
