ETA Hoffmann (1776 - 1822) was one of the greatest German Romantic fantasy authors and a pioneer of the Gothic horror genre. In The Wounded Storyteller, fairy tale specialist Jack Zipes sheds light on how Hoffmann's life of personal trauma shaped his writing and inspired his groundbreaking stories. Zipes has selected five of the German writer's most influential stories: The Golden Cauldron, The Sandman, The Nutcracker and the Mouse King, The Mysterious Child, and The Mines of Falun; in them, he explores themes and invents characters who move between reality, dreams, and fantasy. The edition is brilliantly enriched by Natalie Frank's powerful chalk pastels and gouache, which reveal Hoffmann's parallel worlds in full-page and margin drawings created exclusively for this edition. The Wounded Storyteller thus introduces Hoffmann's timeless work to a new generation of readers

When the truth is hidden, feelings become lethal. A psychological thriller where love and betrayal push the boundaries of sanity.
Twenty-five years ago, Moisés Pascual almost lost everything: his career, his marriage, and his sanity. The operation to dismantle a drug trafficking network in Madrid went wrong. Since then, he's tried to put the past behind him in Positano, where he enjoys a peaceful retirement with his wife, Adelina. Despite everything, he's never been able to forget Gaspard Lefebvre, the Galician drug lord who ruined his life. And then there's her.
On his way home, Moisés catches a glimpse of a woman who reminds him of someone... Or is she that someone? If not, the resemblance to the photograph he jealously guards on his computer, out of his wife's reach, is truly astonishing. Perhaps his eyes can deceive him, but not his heart's instinct: Is Nathalie Lefebvre alive? Impossible: she was murdered that fateful summer of 1999... Or was she?
Luis A. Santamaría has constructed a classic detective novel where betrayal and love, unfortunately, go hand in hand
