Synopsis "Gargolas (in Spanish)"
Imaginese una antigua catedral gotica. Ahora levante la vista a los aleros y caballetes. Que son esas criaturas que cuelgan del edificio o se balancean en las agujas? Son las gargolas, unas figuras misteriosas que previenen del mal o alejan los temores. Este libro lo transporta a su extrano mundo a traves de bestiarios, zoologicos itinerantes, grotescos, quimeras del pasado, ciudades y gremios medievales. Gargolas le muestra rostros de piedra, misericordias, cabezas de Jano, mensulas, Sheila-na-gigs, hagodays y otros miembros de la familia de las gargolas. Tambien se adentran en la historia de su artesanado, su razon de ser y sus leyendas. Para los magos modernos, Gargolas explora el papel de las gargolas en la practica magica: su uso en las correspondencias elementales, magica de piedra, proteccion, defensa, egregores, talismanes, asociaciones animales, ritos y conjuros. Tambien incluye un ""manual de campo"" de las gargolas, antiguas y modernas, que pueden verse y admirarse en la actualidad. / What are these creatures hanging from the building or swinging on the needles?

Gargoyles shows him stone faces, mercies, Janus heads, corbels, Sheila-na-gigs, hagodays and other members of the gargoyle family.
