Allí donde la luna llena despierta las sombras del hombre lobo

Allí donde la luna llena despierta las sombras del hombre lobo

Donde el mito del hombre lobo revela la oscuridad del alma humana

For centuries, la figura del hombre lobo ha encarnado el terror a lo desconocido y la fascinación por la metamorfosis. In this play, Sabine Baring-Gould recorre con erudición y detalle las historias de licántropos que se transmitieron como leyendas, juicios y testimonios de épocas en que lo humano y lo animal se confundían.

The Book of Were-Wolves it is un tratado fundamental sobre la licantropía, donde confluyen la antropología, el folclore y el misterio. Its pages reveal a universe where superstition blends with reality, and where werewolf myths become a reflection of collective fears, repressed violence and the shadow that inhabits every human being.

Between superstition and reality: the enigma of the werewolf

In the pages of this book beats the echo of an ancient fear, the suspicion that beneath human skin the untamed beast may hide. Each story, each testimony and each legend rescued by Baring-Gould opens a crack into a world where reason stumbles over the inexplicable.

The Book of Were-Wolves is more than a historical study: it is a door to the unsettling, A mirror that reflects both the superstitions of the past and the shadows that still accompany us. A book that invites you to venture into the darkness, There where myth and reality blur, And where the human is distorted into the monstrous.
