Eva Perón starb 1952 im Alter von nur 33 Jahren; eine bombastische Zeremonie des langsamen Abschieds nahm ihren Lauf. Evita war eine aus der Provinz auf- und von der Leinwand herabgestiegene Göttin, eine lebende Heilige. Was jedoch nach ihrem Tode geschah, scheint jedes Maß der Verehrung zu sprengen: Ihr Leib wurde einbalsamiert, versteckt, gejagt, ging auf eine makabre Wanderschaft und wurde zum Objekt unglaublicher Intrigen und Obsessionen – mehr noch als Evita selbst. »›Santa Evita‹ hat mich von der ersten Seite an überwältigt – ich war gerührt, litt, genoß, eignete mir schändliche Laster an und verriet meine heiligsten Prinzipien. Wenn ein Roman es fertigbringt, einen Sterblichen mit festen Grundsätzen und strengen Gewohnheiten zu derartigem Unfug zu verleiten, dann kann es keinen Zweifel geben: Er gehört entweder verboten, oder er muß unverzüglich gelesen werden.« »Mario Vargas Llosa« »Hier ist endlich der Roman, den ich immer lesen wollte.« »Gabriel García Márquez«

Only with forty years’ distance from the trauma of her youth has she been able to write an account of some of her experiences during the Holocaust. An English-language eBook edition was published in late 2014 by Samuel Wachtman's Sons Inc., CA. An Italian edition was published in early 2017 by Edizioni Terra Santa, Milano. 80 pages, 14 x 21.5 cm

This books traces the rise to prominence in the twentieth-century of a sub-genre of gothic fiction that is, emphatically, a horror of enlightenment rationality rather than gothic darkness, examining post-modern revisions of Modernist "Promethean" tropes in an eclectic range of gothic, fantasy and SF writing. Whether the subject be terror of London's churches in the psychogeographical fiction of Iain Sinclair and Alan Moore, the Orcs in the linguistic fantasies of J.R.R. Tolkien, King Kong, killer-computers, or demon-children in post-war British science-fiction, A Book of Monsters offers illuminating perspectives on the darker recesses of the post-modern imagination, setting out a compelling, and comprehensive, overview on our contemporary unconscious.

This invigorating study places medieval romance narrative in dialogue with theories and practices of gift and exchange, opening new approaches to questions of storytelling, agency, gender and materiality in some of the most engaging literature from the Middle Ages. It argues that the dynamics of the gift are powerfully at work in romances: through exchanges of objects and people; repeated patterns of love, loyalty and revenge; promises made or broken; and the complex effects that time works on such objects, exchanges and promises. Ranging from the twelfth century to the fifteenth, and including close discussions of poetry by Chaucer, the Gawain-Poet and romances in the Auchinleck Manuscript, this book will prompt new ideas and debate amongst students and scholars of medieval literature, as well as anyone curious about the pleasures that romance narratives bring.
