Frente a la tendencia actual a la literalidad y la pureza, �ste es un alegato en favor de las tinieblas y el poder de sus met�foras, un manual para burlar a la vida a trav�s del poder de la literatura.\u003cbr\u003e------- \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLa colecci�n Endebate es el hogar de aquellos textos breves que presentan una opini�n, defienden una actitud o cuentan una historia, pero son m�s un aperitivo que un banquete, estimulan la conversaci�n m�s que saciarla e inician un fest�n (que no clausuran).

For a metaphor does not only represent what already is, but also what we can imagine--and as such, it can give life, but also take it away. Women, so often made the flesh of metaphor, know this all too well. Against today's tendency toward literalness and purity, this work stands as a manifesto in defense of darkness and the power of its metaphors--a handbook for outwitting life through the transformative force of literature. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe Endebate collection is home to short texts that express an opinion, defend an attitude, or tell a story. They are more an appetizer than a feast--designed to spark conversation rather than satisfy it, to begin a banquet rather than conclude one. Like the finest bites, they are pleasing to the eye and leave a lasting aftertaste.","brand":"Debate","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47773606314135,"sku":"9788410433083","price":1076.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9788410433083.webp?v=1777980477","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/esta-cosa-de-tinieblas-this-thing-of-darkness-9788410433083","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
