Beschreibung

In 'The Exemplary Novels of Cervantes,' Miguel de Cervantes presents a collection of twelve novellas that reflect the complexity of human experience and societal norms of early 17th-century Spain. Employing a rich, narrative style that blends realism with elements of the fantastic, Cervantes crafts stories rife with moral dilemmas, social critiques, and poignant characterizations. Each story operates within a framework of courtly love, deception, and the pursuit of ideals, often highlighting themes of honor and betrayal, while disrupting established forms of storytelling prevalent during the Spanish Golden Age. Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, a seminal figure in world literature, draws heavily from his own tumultuous life experiences—ranging from naval battles to imprisonment—to inform the diverse characters and narratives of these exemplary novels. His keen observations on the human condition reveal a deep empathy and understanding of the social landscape of his time, marking him as a precursor to modern novelists and a master of psychological depth. This collection is a must-read for anyone interested in the origins of the modern novel and the complexities of human nature. Cervantes masterfully intertwines humor and pathos, inviting readers to question societal conventions while engaging with his timeless tales, ensuring that 'The Exemplary Novels' remains a profound exploration of life that resonates across generations.

    Arthur Crazy is hungover, but the dead don't care about headaches.
    
    
    The city of York is teetering on the edge of disaster. During a rare eclipse, the Shadowman casts a spell atop the Minster, trapping the city between the realm of the living and the dead. Ghosts flood the streets, and Arthur, with his best friend Steve, is the only one who can stop the chaos.
    
    
    But Arthur's not exactly in hero shape. Haunted by his past and drowning his sorrows in the nearest pint, he's barely keeping it together. That is, until he meets Nae—a beautiful stranger who might just hold the key to helping him feel normal again.
    
    
    Now, with the Shadowman's spell tearing the veil between worlds, the city's only hope rests on a washed-up hero, a saint from the Shambles, and a dog who won't stop talking. York needs a miracle. Arthur needs another drink.

    A weird, wild ride across non-narrative vignettes and dryly funny aphorisms exploring the shared intensity of violence and the erotic. 
     
     
     
    As if hauled up squirming from the bowels of the internet, Sex Goblin metabolizes sex writing, popular culture, and autofiction to present the real and the imagined as equally surreal possibilities. In the narrator's childlike voice, all things become both mundane and strange—a child and their dog fused after a car accident, moments of tenderness amidst frat hazing, witches, and hiking accidents. At turns charming and bizarre, Sex Goblin channels sexual violence through the lens of the absurd to alchemize shame and abuse into something that registers differently than trauma. Sex Goblin is a barely factual but deeply felt field guide to relationships and relatability. 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.
