Download or read book Spain s Forgotten Novelist written by Brian J. Dendle and published by Bucknell University Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the turn of the century, Armando Palacio Valdes (1853-1938) enjoyed the reputation of being one of Spain's leading novelists. Widely translated into other languages, he was hailed enthusiastically by such foreign critics as Edmund Gosse and William Dean Howells. In the twentieth century, he was regarded as a "safe" novelist, the paladin of middle-class Catholic virtues. Recently, however, his novels are again attracting interest in Spain. In Spain's Forgotten Novelist, Brian J. Dendle critically examines Palacio Valdes's career and reputation, casting doubt on his benign image and veracity, and establishing that the sales of Palacio Valdes's books in translation were much less than the author claimed.
Download or read book Sex and the Ancient City written by Andreas Serafim and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2022-05-09 with total page 613 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume aims to revisit, further explore and tease out the textual, but also non-textual sources in an attempt to reconstruct a clearer picture of a particular aspect of sexuality, i.e. sexual practices, in Greco-Roman antiquity. Sexual practices refers to a part of the overarching notion of sexuality: specifically, the acts of sexual intercourse, the erogenous capacities and genital functions of male and female body, and any other physical or biological actions that define one’s sexual identity or orientation. This volume aims to approach not simply the acts of sexual intercourse themselves, but also their legal, social, political, religious, medical, cultural/moral and interdisciplinary (e.g. emotional, performative) perspectives, as manifested in a range of both textual and non-textual evidence (i.e. architecture, iconography, epigraphy, etc.). The insights taken from the contributions to this volume would enable researchers across a range of disciplines – e.g. sex/gender studies, comparative literature, psychology and cognitive neuroscience – to use theoretical perspectives, methodologies and conceptual tools to frame the sprawling examination of aspects of sexuality in broad terms, or sexual practices in particular.

Download or read book Enchanted Maidens written by James M. Taggart and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2021-03-09 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spanish villagers tell many folktales that describe in metaphorical language the struggles of young men and women as they emerge from their parental families and join in love. In this book James Taggart presents dozens of orally transmitted tales, including "Snow White," "Cinderella," "Beauty and the Beast," "Blancaflor," and dragonslayer stories, collected from seven villages in the region of CNBceres, and analyzes the differences in male and female approaches to telling them. His study shows how men and women use the tales to grapple with some of the contradictions found in gender relations in their culture, which conditions men to be sexually assertive and to marry virgins and which teaches women to fear the men who court them. Taggart interprets the male-female dialogue voiced through storytelling by linking the content of specific tales to the life experiences and gender of the storyteller. Men and women, he finds, carry out an exchange of ideas by retelling the same stories and altering the plots and characters to express their respective views of courtship. This indirect narrative dialogue conveys an understanding of the opposite sex and establishes a common model of marriage that permits men and women to overcome their fear of each other and bond in heterosexual love.
Download or read book All the Agents and Saints written by Stephanie Elizondo Griest and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2017-05-08 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After a decade of chasing stories around the globe, intrepid travel writer Stephanie Elizondo Griest followed the magnetic pull home--only to discover that her native South Texas had been radically transformed in her absence. Ravaged by drug wars and barricaded by an eighteen-foot steel wall, her ancestral land had become the nation's foremost crossing ground for undocumented workers, many of whom perished along the way. The frequency of these tragedies seemed like a terrible coincidence, before Elizondo Griest moved to the New York / Canada borderlands. Once she began to meet Mohawks from the Akwesasne Nation, however, she recognized striking parallels to life on the southern border. Having lost their land through devious treaties, their mother tongues at English-only schools, and their traditional occupations through capitalist ventures, Tejanos and Mohawks alike struggle under the legacy of colonialism. Toxic industries surround their neighborhoods while the U.S. Border Patrol militarizes them. Combating these forces are legions of artists and activists devoted to preserving their indigenous cultures. Complex belief systems, meanwhile, conjure miracles. In All the Agents and Saints, Elizondo Griest weaves seven years of stories into a meditation on the existential impact of international borderlines by illuminating the spaces in between and the people who live there.
Download or read book Escaping Fate Embracing Destiny written by Beverly L. Anderson and published by Phoenix Voices Publishing. This book was released on 2024-10-01 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CJ Kim is a typical college student. He is doing what most college students do, figuring himself out, sometimes the hard way. He has some unusual dreams now and then, but he thinks they are just dreams. They’re certainly nothing to worry about when reality is pressing down so hard on him. Between the demands of school and family, he has enough on his mind. He ends up with a massive crush on a senior who is on the baseball team. Despite not being a baseball fan, he goes to games to see him. Of course, he’ll never notice a gay and nerdy English major like CJ. Things are good, though. He even has a good relationship with his parents and his twin sisters. He never expects his family’s past to come back to haunt him. It rears its head in the worst way possible, and CJ finds himself the prisoner of a vengeful man. Thrust into something that goes beyond what can be considered normal, CJ realizes that there’s a fate out there trying to destroy him. He doesn’t know how, but he has to reach for a destiny he can barely see.
Download or read book The Writing Experience 2001 written by Hyacinthe K. Baron and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2001-05 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This anthology is the result of the vision of The Palm Springs Writers Guild 2001 and President, Hyacinthe Baron, to publish members works in a collection based on a democratic, non-judgmental reflection of the diverse talents, imagination and words of those writers as an important step in encouraging both beginning and professional published authors to see their works in print. The written word is a powerful tool, enabling writers to leave a message for the future. Our ancestors made their mark on the walls of caves as a statement: “We were here, we exist, we think.” If they had the written word we would know just what they thought. While the sounds of many voices echo through the granite escarpments of the Santa Rosa Mountains, as Tahquitz Peak and San Jacinto look down benignly on the small figures below who draw inspiration, peace and comfort from this beautiful valley, long the playground of celebrities from Hollywood’s halcyon days, the Coachella Valley and its unique individuals continue to nurture all who come to bathe in the brilliant sun and magnificent visions. This is inspiration. The short stories, novel excerpts, essays and memoirs and poetry ring of THE WRITING EXPERIENCE 2001.

Download or read book From Silver Screen to Spanish Stage written by Stuart Nishan Green and published by University of Wales Press. This book was released on 2011-05-31 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book-length English-language study of a group of five artists closely linked with the Spanish avant-garde in the 1920s and 1930s, now known as the ‘Other’ Generation of 27. In the same way that their contemporaries of the celebrated Generation of 27 (which included Federico Garcia Lorca) attempted a revolution of the arts through poetry inspired by European modernism, the ‘Other’ Generation of 27 attempted to renovate Spanish humour, first in prose, and then in the theatre and cinema. This book demonstrates how these humorists drew on the humour of Chaplin, Keaton, Lubitsch and the Marx Brothers for their stage comedy, and how they stretched the limits of the stage at the time by incorporating cinematic techniques, such as flashback, voice-overs and montage, in their search for new dramatic forms.
