Download or read book The Buddha of Suburbia written by Hanif Kureishi and published by Penguin. This book was released on 1991-05-01 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Whitbread Prize for Best First Novel "There was one copy going round our school like contraband. I read it in one sitting ... I'd never read a book about anyone remotely like me before."-- Zadie Smith "My name is Karim Amir, and I am an Englishman born and bred, almost..." The hero of Hanif Kureishi's debut novel is dreamy teenager Karim, desperate to escape suburban South London and experience the forbidden fruits which the 1970s seem to offer. When the unlikely opportunity of a life in the theatre announces itself, Karim starts to win the sort of attention he has been craving - albeit with some rude and raucous results. With the publication of Buddha of Suburbia, Hanif Kureishi landed into the literary landscape as a distinct new voice and a fearless taboo-breaking writer. The novel inspired a ground-breaking BBC series featuring a soundtrack by David Bowie.
Download or read book A New Reference Grammar of Modern Spanish written by John Butt and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 533 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (abridged and revised) This reference grammar offers intermediate and advanced students a reason ably comprehensive guide to the morphology and syntax of educated speech and plain prose in Spain and Latin America at the end of the twentieth century. Spanish is the main, usually the sole official language of twenty-one countries,} and it is set fair to overtake English by the year 2000 in numbers 2 of native speakers. This vast geographical and political diversity ensures that Spanish is a good deal less unified than French, German or even English, the latter more or less internationally standardized according to either American or British norms. Until the 1960s, the criteria of internationally correct Spanish were dictated by the Real Academia Espanola, but the prestige of this institution has now sunk so low that its most solemn decrees are hardly taken seriously - witness the fate of the spelling reforms listed in the Nuevas normas de prosodia y ortograjia, which were supposed to come into force in all Spanish-speaking countries in 1959 and, nearly forty years later, are still selectively ignored by publishers and literate persons everywhere. The fact is that in Spanish 'correctness' is nowadays decided, as it is in all living languages, by the consensus of native speakers; but consensus about linguistic usage is obviously difficult to achieve between more than twenty independent, widely scattered and sometimes mutually hostile countries. Peninsular Spanish is itself in flux.
Download or read book F tbol los sistemas de juego Sistema 1 4 2 3 1 written by Juan Mercé Cervera and published by Wanceulen Editorial. This book was released on 2017-08-01 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El Sistema 1.4.2-3.1, es tal vez, el sistema más moderno de los actuales. Se fundamenta en una ocupación racional y equilibrada del terreno de juego, lo que nos permite un adecuado escalonamiento tanto en la fase defensiva como en la ofensiva. Espero y estoy seguro, que les servirá de gran utilidad a los estudiantes y técnicos de fútbol, ya que, partiendo de una conceptualización teórica (muy sencilla de comprender), nos lleva a una ejecución práctica, partiendo desde una fase de enseñanza-aprendizaje en las etapas de formación, a unas mayores exigencias en las etapas de rendimiento, para evitar que se utilice un sistema y unos automatismos, adecuados al nivel de los jugadores, y a la edad de los mismos. Les invito a la lectura completa del libro, no solo al uso de la batería de juegos en sus entrenamientos, ya que no es un recetario de juegos por si solo, sino que la fundamentación teórica también sirve para ayudar a los jóvenes jugadores a mejorar su inteligencia táctica, la percepción, y las capacidades de decisión, ya que, cuanto mayores sean sus conocimientos, mejores y más preparados serán sus futbolistas. Por último, quisiera concluir este breve comentario dándole las gracias a los autores del mismo, y en especial a mi amigo y profesor Juan Mercé, por darme la oportunidad de prologar este libro y espero que sea de gran utilidad para los estudiantes y técnicos porque proviene de una persona entregada totalmente a este deporte espectáculo, como es el fútbol.

Download or read book World Anthropologies written by Gustavo Lins Ribeiro and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-07-12 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its inception, anthropology's authority has been based on the assumption that it is a unified discipline emanating from the West. In an age of heightened globalization, anthropologists have failed to discuss consistently the current status of their practice and its mutations across the globe. World Anthropologies is the first book to provoke this conversation from various regions of the world in order to assess the diversity of relations between regional or national anthropologies and a contested, power-laden Western discourse. Can a planetary anthropology cope with both the 'provincial cosmopolitanism' of alternative anthropologies and the 'metropolitan provincialism' of hegemonic schools? How might the resulting 'world anthropologies' challenge the current panorama in which certain allegedly national anthropological traditions have more paradigmatic weight - and hence more power - than others? Critically examining the international dissemination of anthropology within and across national power fields, contributors address these questions and provide the outline for a veritable world anthropologies project.

Los cambios no llegan y, si lo hacen, parecen ser a peor. Por suerte, los Nuevos Bolcheviques, una misteriosa agrupación de estudiantes, tienen la solución que hace falta: una revolución desde la base que no deje rastro del sistema imperante. Pero los gobernantes no se dejarán derrocar tan fácilmente. Pondrán en juego todos los medios que tienen a su disposición, aun si esto desemboca en un conflicto civil de dimensiones épicas. Aunque esto salpique al resto del mundo. Acompaña a Osvaldo, un profesor de universidad que, sin pretenderlo, termina teniendo un papel capital en los planes de los Nuevos Bolcheviques. Lo opuesto a un héroe que, de buenas a primeras, se va arrastrado a una revolución en la que no quería creer. Una obra de la que estarían orgullosos Darío Fo, Bertolt Brecht y los hermanos Coen. Los Nuevos Bolcheviques te transporta en un caótico e iluminador viaje no exento de filosofía y sentido del humor. Toda una epopeya de nuestra época».
