10 Narraciones Maestras(Libros del Tiempo)

Format: Hardback

Condition: Standard Secondhand — £754.80
What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

De los relatos de este volumen de Rudyard Kipling (Bombay 1865 - Londres 1936) Jorge Luis Borges ha dicho que son B+laconicas obras maestrasB; . No es una opinion ni aislada ni azarosa, sino varias veces repetida, como si se tratara de algo largamente meditado que ha ido destilandose a lo largo de toda una vida de lecturas felices. Estas paginas revelan a otro Kipling, un Kipling laberintico y secreto en sus argumentos, y tambien, como dijo George Moore, al B+unico autor ingles, despues de Shakespeare, que escribia con todo el diccionarioB; .La puerta de los Cien Pesares, La casa de Duddhoo y Fuera de los limites fueron escritos en India, en 1885. por un joven de veinte anos en un estilo sencillo y directo. Veinte anos despues, escribiria en tono muy distinto Una guerra de sahibs y Ellos. Sus ultimos relatos, La Casa de los Deseos, Una madonna de las trincheras, El ojo de Ala, El jardinero y La iglesia que habia en Antioquia, son ya ejecutados por un hombre de sesenta anos con un dominio del lenguaje y una densidad argumental poco frecuentes.B+No hay uno solo de estos cuentosB; , escribe Borges, B+que no sea, a mi parecer, una nueva y suficiente obra maestra. Los primeros son ilusoriamente sencillos, los ultimos, deliberadamente ambiguos y complejos. No son mejores, son distintos. En todos ellos, el autor, con sabia inocencia, narra la fabula como si no acabara de comprenderla y agrega comentarios convencionales para que el lector este en desacuerdoB; .
