«Las puertas de Anubis» is the fantasy and science fiction novel by Tim Powers, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardcover (441 pages, in Spanish).
Brendan Doyle, a professor of Romantic literature, travels to London in 1810 to give a lecture on Coleridge and becomes trapped in the past. There he is caught up in intrigues of Egyptian magic, secret societies, and time travel; the adventure turns into a nightmare full of action, humor, and unexpected twists.
The novel was originally published in English as «The Anubis Gates» in 1983; this Spanish edition, translated by Albert Solé, is from Círculo de Lectores, 1990.
For readers of fantasy and science fiction looking for time-travel novels with historical settings, supernatural mysteries, and adventure.
