Описание:
Despite the attention lavished on Edgar Allan Poe, his long-standing status as a «critical orphan» endures. He is known as much for a poem, a story and a biographical myth as for his extraordinary body of work, often written off as second rate. He is a writer obscurely cherished by lovers of the macabre, oversimplified and entangled in sophisticated theoretical analyses and judgements that fail to consider the esoteric doctrines central to his work. In other words, lost between the initiated and the profane, Poe has become a gigantic puzzle and one that needs reassembling. His writings remain elusive, while his role in the literary history of our age defies canonicity.
An intellectual history that fills this crucial gap by restoring Poe to his turbulent historical context, this book recovers the philosophical and esoteric complexity of a riddler, a satirist and a biting social critic in his struggle to make sense of the cardinal malaises and dominant ideas of a revolutionary age, confronted with a new and shattering conception of man, nature and the universe. It reconsiders the way we read, study and present Poe to future generations, decoding with exceptional clarity the enigmas of a monumental writer – a cult figure – who is inseparable from the historical consciousness of the modern world.

Описание: Marco Altamirano critiques the modern concept of nature to chart a new trajectory for the philosophy of nature. He goes on to deploy conceptual resources excavated from Deleuze, Guattari, Foucault and Leroi-Gourhan to show how technology, which bypasses the nature-artifice distinction, is an essential dimension of the philosophy of nature.
Описание: First published in 1904, "Materia Medica Mexicana" is a comprehensive guide to the medicinal plants and herbs to be found in Mexico. For each herb treated there is given information relating to its various names, its habitat, its appearance and characteristics, its chemical composition, and more. This volume will appeal to those with an interest in botany and medicine, and it would make for a fantastic addition to allied collections. Contents include: "Artemisa Mexicana," "Casimiroa Edulis," "Chenopodium Foetidum," "Heterotheca Induloides," "Loeselia Coccinea," "Prunus Capuli," "Peperomia Umbilicata," "Argemona Mexicana," "Llora Sangre," "Matarique," "Tlacoxiloxchitl," "Yerba del Pollo," "Simonillo," "Tlalocopetate," "Pipitzahoac," "Panete," "Contrayerba," etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on the history of herbalism.
