4379775The King in Yellowhttps://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-king-in-yellow-8596547776475/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/4278915/image.jpg?v=6384465945517700004545MXNGood PressInStock/Ebooks/<p>In Robert W. Chambers seminal work, "The King in Yellow," the reader is introduced to a haunting collection of short stories that blend decadence, horror, and the supernatural. Emanating from the fin-de-sivcle literary style, Chambers weaves a tapestry of existential dread and psychological turmoil, embedded within an imaginative framework. Central to these tales is a fictional play that drives its readers to madness, serving as a metaphor for the perils of forbidden knowledge. The interplay between art, obsession, and despair resonates through the intricate prose and vivid imagery, establishing the text as a precursor to the coming wave of modernist literature and influencing the darker tones of the Weird fiction genre. Chambers, an American writer and artist associated with the Symbolist movement, often explored themes of beauty and decay in his works. His backgroundimmersed in the aesthetic ideals of the late 19th century and the avant-garde movements of his timeshaped his fascination with the supernatural and psychological disarray. Chambers exploration of the human psyche and its fragility amid societal change provides a rich context for the chilling narratives contained in this collection. For readers seeking a profound and unsettling literary experience, "The King in Yellow" is an indispensable masterpiece. It presents not only a journey into the realms of cosmic horror but also an exploration of the depths of the human condition. Its intricate storytelling and haunting motifs invite critical reflection, solidifying its place as a landmark work that continues to inspire and provoke.</p>...4301136The King in Yellow4545https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-king-in-yellow-8596547776475/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/4278915/image.jpg?v=638446594551770000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20238596547776475_W3siaWQiOiIyMjBiNGE1MS1hOTc2LTQyODctOTlhNS0wNmMyYTE2ZWFhNWQiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjQ1LCJkaXNjb3VudCI6MCwic2VsbGluZ1ByaWNlIjo0NSwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjUtMDEtMTBUMTU6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d8596547776475_<p>The King in Yellow is a book of short stories named after a play with the same title which recurs as a motif through some of the stories.
