Idioma/Language: Español. A mediados de los años setenta del siglo XX tuvo lugar una profunda revolución en el cine y la literatura de terror. Familias caníbales, asesinos psicópatas, zombis depredadores y enfermedades contagiosas se erigieron en los nuevos protagonistas de las historias de terror. Y sería el joven autor británico Clive Barker el encargado de llevar esta nueva sensibilidad sangrienta y visceral a la literatura de terror con la publicación a mediados de los ochenta de una serie de relatos agrupados en varios volúmenes bajo el título genérico de Libros de Sangre . Cabal , novela que el propio Clive Barker llevó al cine con el título de Nightbreed ( Razas de Noche ), apareció en 1988 junto con los últimos relatos de Libros de Sangre como colofón de la aclamada serie. Boone, protagonista de la novela, sufre un trastorno psicológico del que le está tratando su psiquiatra, Decker. El doctor le somete a sesiones de hipnosis regresiva y le revela que Boone alude en ellas a crímenes terribles que podrían ser reales, y teme que podría haberlos cometido él mismo, aunque no los recuerde. Atormentado por esta idea e impotente para resolver su angustiosa situación, Boone decide suicidarse, pero tras un intento fallido sobrevive de forma milagrosa. Ingresado en una clínica, otro interno le habla de Midian, la mítica ciudad en la que residen los muertos. Boone se propone encontrar esa ciudad, refugiarse en ella y unirse a la siniestra comunidad de La Raza de la Noche. Lori, su novia, siente por él un amor incondicional y decide seguir sus pasos y luchar por rescatarlo, aunque para ello tenga que cruzar la peligrosa frontera entre la vida y la muerte. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

In the spring of 1778, General George Washington wrote to his friend Landon Carter about a rumored “disposition in the Northern Officers to see me superceded in my Command.” This was as candid a statement as the general ever made about the so-called “Conway Cabal” of patriot officers and politicians critical of his leadership. Most early historians of the Revolution took the threat to Washington seriously, but by the mid-twentieth century interpretations had reversed, with the plot—if one existed—posing no real danger to the commander-in-chief. Yet, as historian Mark Edward Lender reveals in his compelling Cabal! The Plot Against General Washington, clues found in original new research provide a more comprehensive understanding of the personalities and political maneuverings of those involved in the Cabal, and the real nature of the challenge to Washington.     Rather than the “classic Cabal” of Generals Horatio Gates, Thomas Mifflin, and Thomas Conway in a plot to remove Washington quickly, the threat to Washington’s command was a gradual administrative attempt by the Board of War and political allies to take over the war effort. Reorganized in late 1777 under the leadership of Mifflin, with Gates assuming the board presidency in January 1778, the Board of War sought authority to determine military policy and strategic goals, all training, organizational, personnel, and logistical functions, and even the assignment of theater commanders. Had they succeeded, Washington’s title of commander-in-chief would have been utterly hollow. The Cabal tested Washington as few other things did during the war and perhaps tempered him into the man we remember today. Washington adroitly navigated the challenges to his leadership, meeting and defeating every attempt to curtail his authority. His response revealed a leadership style that saw him safely through the war, and gave him overwhelming support from his countrymen to become their first president.

Cabal of Chaos: Lovecraftian Mythical Fantasy 1.43

Although it is generally understood that American neoconservatives pushed hard for the war in Iraq, this book forcefully argues that the neocons' goal was not the spread of democracy, but the protection of Israel's interests in the Middle East. Showing that the neocon movement has always identified closely with the interests of Israel's Likudnik right wing, the discussion contends that neocon advice on Iraq was the exact opposite of conventional United States foreign policy, which has always sought to maintain stability in the region to promote the flow of oil. Various players in the rush to war are assessed according to their motives, including President Bush, Ariel Sharon, members of the foreign-policy establishment, and the American people, who are seen not as having been dragged into war against their will, but as ready after 9/11 for retaliation.

This edition combines two books in one. Weaveworld was published in 1987 and Cabal followed in 1988. Clive Barker made his mark on modern fiction with Weaveworld with this surreal and magical tale exploring the profound and overwhelming terror that results. With its volatile mix of the fantastical and the contemporary, the everyday and the otherworldly, Weaveworld is an epic work of dark fantasy and horror -- a tour de force from one of today's most forceful and imaginative artists. With Cabal, the master of dark imaginative fiction Clive Barker takes us on a fabulous journey. The nightmare had begun...Boone knew that there was no place on this earth for him now; no happiness here, not even with Lori. He would let Hell claim him, let Death take him there. But Death itself seemed to shrink from Boone. No wonder, if he had indeed been the monster who had shattered, violated and shredded so many others' lives. And Decker had shown him the proof - the hellish photographs where the last victims were forever stilled, splayed in the last obscene moment of their torture. Boone's only refuge now was Midian - that awful, legendary place in which gathered the half-dead, the Nightbreed.

Johannes Cabal, necromancer of some little infamy, returns in this riotously clever and terrifically twisted tale of murder and international intrigue. In this genre-twisting novel, infamous necromancer Johannes Cabal, after beating the Devil and being reunited with his soul, leads us on another raucous journey in a little-known corner of the world. This time he’s on the run from the local government. Stealing the identity of a minor bureaucrat, Cabal takes passage on the Princess Hortense, a passenger aeroship that is leaving the country. The deception seems perfect, and Cabal looks forward to a quiet trip and a clean escape, until he comes face-to-face with Leonie Barrow, an enemy from the old days who could blow his cover. But when a fellow passenger throws himself to his death, or at least that is how it appears, Cabal begins to investigate out of curiosity. His minor efforts result in a vicious attempt on his own  life—and then the gloves come off. Cabal and Leonie—the only woman to ever match wits with him—reluctantly team up to discover the murderer. Before they are done, there will be more narrow escapes, involving sword fighting and newfangled flying machines. There will be massive destruction, not to mention resurrected dead . . . Steampunk meets the classic Sherlockian mystery in this rip-roaring adventure where anything could happen . . . and does.
