Com es comunicarien entre si uns éssers muts d'un altre planeta però molt semblants als humans? Com es comunicarien la gent de la Terra amb aquests éssers intel·ligents? Quin paper hi podria jugar la dansa? Hi hauria literatura en un planeta mut? Com els condicionaria sexualment un canvi en la proporció de naixements? Serien éssers més pacífics? Farien guerres? Quina seria la mentalitat dominant en un planeta d'aquestes característiques? Quines afinitats i diferències culturals i tecnològiques hi hauria amb la Terra?Totes aquestes preguntes i moltes més es responen en la trama trepidant i original d'una novel·la ara reescrita però que en la seva primera versió ja va guanyar el Premi Juli Verne de ciència-ficció. (no es tracta d'una reedició perquè ha estat reescrit des del títol i des de la primera línia fins al final, conté algun capítol nou, nou índex, però conserva la trama bàsica que el feia interessant, al final s'hi afegeix un epíleg nou d'Aleix Cort, especialista en dansa, que se centra en el tema de la importància del ball en la literatura i en la societat).

Kalpa imperial reúne once relatos, once fragmentos de la historia del Imperio Más Vasto que Nunca Existió.Por el narrador sabemos que el Imperio fue destruido y reconstruido infinidad de veces y que su historia vuelve a empezar con cada nueva dinastía de emperadores y emperatrices. El escenario es siempre el mismo: el montañoso norte, el sur selvático y las ciudades capitales. Las historias son múltiples y diversas. Como la de Bib, el chico esmirriado que pretende refundar el Imperio e inventar un nuevo orden, la del último príncipe de la dinastía de los Orioles y su extraña muerte, la de la huérfana que asciende desde los bajos fondos hasta el trono, la del Emperador Cuarto en las dinastía de los Kiautonor, que manda a construir una ciudad en honor de su amante. Angélica Gorodischer crea un universo ficcional portentoso, absolutamente propio, donde la distopía se cruza con el realismo, la novela con el cuento, la metáfora sobre el poder con el pequeño drama humano. Publicado por primera vez en 1983, Kalpa imperial marcó un hito en la obra de esta gran autora argentina y la convirtió en una referente ineludible de la ciencia ficción universal.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A curmudgeonly professor journeys to a small town in the far north in this “incredibly fun journey through fae lands and dark magic” (NPR), the start of a heartwarming and enchanting new fantasy series.Cambridge professor Emily Wilde is good at many things: She is the foremost expert on the study of faeries. She is a genius scholar and a meticulous researcher who is writing the world’s first encyclopaedia of faerie lore. But Emily Wilde is not good at people. She could never make small talk at a party—or even get invited to one. And she prefers the company of her books, her dog, Shadow, and the Fair Folk to other people.So when she arrives in the hardscrabble village of Hrafnsvik, Emily has no intention of befriending the gruff townsfolk. Nor does she care to spend time with another new arrival: her dashing and insufferably handsome academic rival Wendell Bambleby, who manages to charm the townsfolk, muddle Emily’s research, and utterly confound and frustrate her.But as Emily gets closer and closer to uncovering the secrets of the Hidden Ones—the most elusive of all faeries—lurking in the shadowy forest outside the town, she also finds herself on the trail of another mystery: Who is Wendell Bambleby, and what does he really want? To find the answer, she’ll have to unlock the greatest mystery of all—her own heart.
