 Book DescriptionThe warlocks and ghosts of fantasy film haunt our popular culture, but the genre has too long been ignored by critics. This comprehensive critical survey of fantasy cinema demonstrates that the fantasy genre amounts to more than escapism.Through a meticulously researched analysis of over a century of fantasy pictures?from the seminal work of Georges Melies to Peter Jackson?s recent tours of Middle?earth?the work identifies narrative strategies and their recurring components and studies patterns of challenge and return, setting and character.

The Magic Mountain Thomas Mann
 Book DescriptionWith this dizzyingly rich novel of ideas, Thomas Mann rose to the front ranks of the great modern novelists, winning the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1929. The Magic Mountain takes place in an exclusive tuberculosis sanatorium in the Swiss Alps–a community devoted to sickness that serves as a fictional microcosm for Europe in the days before the First World War.

Acclaimed translator John E. Woods has given us the definitive English version of Mann’s masterpiece.
