El primer libro escrito e ilustrado por Tim Burton. El poema que dio origen a la legendaria película Pesadilla antes de Navidad, traducido al castellano con metro y rima para reproducir la magia y el humor del original. Acababa el otoño y ya hacía frío en un lugar llamado Halloween. Un solitario esqueleto en un monte contra la luna recortó su perfil. Murciélago, en vez de pajarita, llevaba Skeleton, de nombre Jack. Era delgado y alto y se aburría: En Halloween todo era siempre igual... Jack Skeleton está cansado de organizar festivales con calabazas, brujas y fantasmas. Pero un día, entre unos árboles, descubre una ciudad llena de adornos, donde están celebrando algo llamado... ¿Navidad? ¡¿Y eso qué es?!

Er ist der große Märchenerzähler von Hollywood: Seit dreißig Jahren dreht Tim Burton, der Mann mit der zerzausten Lockenfrisur, den schwarzen Künstler-Outfits und der blauen Sonnenbrille, Filme, die zum Träumen einladen. In seinem schillernden Kino-Kosmos, der sich zwischen gruselig flackernden Halloween-Kürbissen und den verschneiten Lichterketten der Vorweihnachtszeit entfaltet, wandeln die absonderlichsten Geschöpfe umher: eine schüchterne Kreatur mit Scherenhänden, ein Fledermaus-Mann und eine Katzenfrau, Marsmenschen, Untote und ein bizarrer Chocolatier.

Winner of the 2021 Sheikh Hamad Award for Translation and International Understanding (category: translation from Arabic into English) This is an unabridged, annotated, translation of the great Damascene savant and saint Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya’s (d. 751/1350) Madārij al-Sālikīn. Conceived as a critical commentary on an earlier Sufi classic by the great Hanbalite scholar Abū Ismāʿīl of Herat, Madārij aims to rejuvenate Sufism’s Qurʾanic foundations. The original work was a key text for the Sufi initiates, composed in terse, rhyming prose as a master’s instruction to the aspiring seeker on the path to God, in a journey of a hundred stations whose ultimate purpose was to be lost to one’s self (fanāʾ) and subsist (baqāʾ) in God. The translator, Ovamir (ʿUwaymir) Anjum, provides an extensive introduction and annotation to this English-Arabic face-to-face presentation of this masterpiece of Islamic psychology.
