Download or read book Jewish Studies at the Turn of the Twentieth Century written by European Association for Jewish Studies. Congress and published by BRILL. This book was released on 1999 with total page 726 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A cursed book. A missing professor. Some nefarious men in gray suits. And a dreamworld called the Troposphere? Ariel Manto has a fascination with nineteenth-century scientists—especially Thomas Lumas and The End of Mr. Y, a book no one alive has read. When she mysteriously uncovers a copy at a used bookstore, Ariel is launched into an adventure of science and faith, consciousness and death, space and time, and everything in between. Seeking answers, Ariel follows in Mr. Y’s footsteps: She swallows a tincture, stares into a black dot, and is transported into the Troposphere—a wonderland where she can travel through time and space using the thoughts of others. There she begins to understand all the mysteries surrounding the book, herself, and the universe. Or is it all just a hallucination? With The End of Mr. Y, Scarlett Thomas brings us another fast-paced mix of popular culture, love, mystery, and irresistible philosophical adventure.
Download or read book The Mexican Masked Wrestler and Monster Filmography written by Robert Michael “Bobb” Cotter and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-06-14 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Any on-screen schmuck can take down a wolfman with a silver bullet. It takes a certain kind of hero to hoist that wolfman overhead into an airplane spin, follow with a body slam, drop an atomic elbow across his mangy neck, leg-lock him until he howls, and pin his furry back to the mat for a three-count. It takes a Mexican masked wrestler. Add a few half-naked vampire women, Aztec mummies, mad scientists, evil midgets from space, and a goateed Frankenstein monster, and you have just some of the elements of Mexican masked wrestler and monster movies, certainly among the most bizarre, surreal and imaginative films ever produced. This filmography features some of the oddest cinematic showdowns ever concocted--Mexican masked wrestlers battling monsters, evil geniuses and other ne'er-do-wells, be it in caves, cobwebbed castles or in the ring. From the 1950s to the 1970s, these movies were staples of Mexican cinema, combining action, horror, sex, science fiction and comedy into a bizarre amalgam aimed to please the whole family. Chapters examine the roots of the phenomenon, including the hugely popular masked wrestling scene and the classic Universal horror films from which Mexican filmmakers stole without compunction. Subsequent chapters focus on El Santo, Blue Demon, and Mil Mascaras, the three most prominent masked wrestlers; wrestling women; other less prominent masked wrestlers; and the insane mish-mash of monsters pitted against the heroes. Each chapter includes background information and a full filmography, and a wide assortment of striking illustrations--posters, lobby cards and other graphic material, some better than the movies they advertised--accompany the text.

Book excerpt: 20.000 palabras agrupadas por tema; con gramática y phrase book Autor: Diego Luzuriaga (1959), traductor y docente Egresado del Instituto Superior en Lenguas Vivas; Buenos Aires, Argentina PRESENTACIÓN DE LA OBRA Para alguien de mi generación, los modos de publicación digital inauguran un nuevo paradigma. Los medios técnicos disponibles hoy en día me han permitido plasmar la Guía de Inglés según mi idea original. También es gracias a Internet que puedo acercarte esta obra de una manera asequible y ágil. Durante años trabajé en este volumen bilingüe con pasión por ambos idiomas y buscando facilitar un dominio cabal del inglés a todo estudiante de habla hispana, en particular a quienes carecen de recursos económicos para acceder a esta lengua internacional. Las nuevas técnicas de traducción automática nos sorprenden más y más. Para el individuo en nuestro mundo globalizado, sin embargo, una cosa es valerse de traducciones y otra muy distinta es poder generar el propio discurso en lengua extranjera e interpretar los contenidos más diversos de una manera personal y autónoma. He ahí la principal razón de ser de esta Guía. También es inigualable poder apreciar la belleza de la literatura en inglés, los matices en sus giros, los múltiples sentidos, las complejidades, el humor, las sonoridades y las sutilezas de esta lengua inagotable. La ortografía de inglés elegida en esta obra ha sido la británica, por tratarse de la variedad original. Cuando existen variantes estadounidenses para ciertas palabras, las mismas se indican en todos los casos. He procurado dar con equivalentes en castellano que estuviesen exentos de regionalismos, lo cual no siempre resulta sencillo. Espero que vayas a disfrutar de la Guía de Inglés tanto como yo escribiéndola. Fueron años elaborando este material, con la intención de brindarte cuanto me fuese posible y que te alcance hasta el más avanzado nivel de estudios. La Guía de Inglés potenciará tus conocimientos de todas las maneras que imagines y sus traducciones acaso aporten nuevo léxico a tu español. Todo el texto y la diagramación de la obra son de mi autoría. Sus imágenes figuran como free clip art en Internet y en tal condición fueron descargadas de la red. El precio de venta es menor que mi arancel por una lección de inglés durante una hora. Las páginas de muestra en Google Books te permitirán evaluar la utilidad de esta Guía. Este libro condensa conocimientos que son fruto de 30 años enseñando inglés tanto a escolares como a profesionales y empresarios. ¡Confío en que te resultará una transacción ventajosa! Haz que el trato también sea justo para mí, adquiriéndola de quien aquí suscribe Tu aliado, el autor… Diego Luzuriaga PD: Si quieres saber en qué ando ahora, ven a visitar mi sitio AMOIDIOMA en facebook.

Download or read book Facundo written by Domingo F. Sarmiento and published by Penguin. This book was released on 1998-10-01 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ostensibly a biography of the gaucho barbarian Juan Facundo Quiroga, Facundo is also a complex, passionate work of history, sociology, and political commentary, and Latin America's most important essay of the nineteenth century. It is a study of the Argentine character, a prescription for the modernization of Latin America, and a protest against the tyranny of the government of Juan Manuel de Rosas (1835–1852). The book brings nineteenth-century Latin American history to life even as it raises questions still being debated today—questions regarding the "civilized" city versus the "barbaric" countryside, the treatment of indigenous and African populations, and the classically liberal plan of modernization. Facundo’s celebrated and frequently anthologized portraits of Quiroga and other colorful characters give readers an exhilarating sense of Argentine culture in the making. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.
