NOVEDADES

The story of a hero’s descent to the underworld Alice Law has only ever had one goal: to become one of the brightest minds in the field of Magick. She has sacrificed everything to make that a reality: her pride, her health, her love life, and most definitely her sanity. All to work with Professor Jacob Grimes at Cambridge, the greatest magician in the world. That is, until he dies in a magical accident that could possibly be her fault. Grimes is now in Hell, and she’s going in after him. Because his recommendation could hold her very future in his now incorporeal hands and even death is not going to stop the pursuit of her dreams…. Nor will the fact that her rival, Peter Murdoch, has come to the very same conclusion. With nothing but the tales of Orpheus and Dante to guide them, enough chalk to draw the Pentagrams necessary for their spells, and the burning desire to make all the academic trauma mean anything, they set off across Hell to save a man they don’t even like. But Hell is not like the storybooks say, Magick isn’t always the answer, and there’s something in Alice and Peter’s past that could forge them into the perfect allies…or lead to their doom.

Esta original y fascinante obra sigue las huellas de los felinos a través de la historia para revelar una animalidad en el corazón del marxismo. Para ello, Leigh Claire La Berge examina un arco temporal de mil doscientos años que abarca la prehistoria feudal del capitalismo, sus épocas colonialista e imperialista, las revoluciones burguesas que promovieron el capitalismo y las revoluciones comunistas que se opusieron a él para esbozar cómo los gatos han sido entendidos durante mucho tiempo como criaturas de crítica económica y posibilidad liberadora. Ante la repetida aparición en los archivos de leones, tigres, gatos monteses y sabo-tabbies, la autora sostiene que los felinos son fundamentales para la forma en que los marxistas han imaginado la economía. En este bestiario radical, lúdico y generosamente ilustrado, La Berge demuestra que la lucha de clases es, en última instancia, una colaboración entre especies.
