Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Eric W. Pennington's book, the latest and one of the best on Buero Vallejo's theater, thoughtfully frames careful analyses with the major theoretical approaches of the last half century. Pennington's knowledge of those theories and his insights into the various artistic influences on Buero's plays are remarkably thorough. Of particular note also is his intelligent, even literary prose---the perfect vehicle for evoking the artistic nuance, historical detail, and human impact of Buero's compelling dramatic achievements."

Download or read book BECKONED Part 3 From Los Angeles with Love written by Aviva Vaughn and published by Everingham Press. This book was released on 2017-08-15 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: And then there were three... Fire and ice have nothing on Angela Holguín and Soren Lund who first met as MBA students in exciting Barcelona. But their timing was off, until Destiny put them back in the same city: London; and their passion ignited. But will their fledgling romance stand a chance against the forces of Time and Space with Soren in Barcelona and Angela in Los Angeles? And a new threat also looms on the horizon: a mysterious and handsome entrepreneur interested in Angela's new business ...or is he? Angela beckons Soren to spend the holidays with her in Los Angeles, but when he makes her a beguiling offer, their relationship will be put to the test. BECKONED: slow burn, second chance romance inspired by food, travel, and Jane Austen. Over 300 reviews with 4.4+star average! Part 3 of a complete 6-part series. "It has been so long since I have read a series that has kept my interest like this one! I literally couldn't wait to jump into part 3 of this series and again as with the first two books I wasn't disappointed! I just can't help but be swept up in the relationship between Angela and Soren! I really am drawn to them. Again the author did a fabulous job with the writing in this book and I really do love her writing style - I honestly feel like I am on the journey with these characters through the author's fabulous descriptive writing! I am so excited to read part 4!" -Katie, 5-star review "Aviva Vaughn just keeps bringing it. Another book in the Beckoned series that I could not put down. The way Ms. Vaughn writes, always is so descriptive and makes you feel like you are right there with the characters. She keeps you on your toes with all the twists and turns. You keep reading because you want to see what is going to happen next. I cannot wait to read Part 4 in the series." -Dori from Florida, 5-star review "Something I've always admired about books is that when you find a well written series each book may even be better than the last, unlike motion pictures where the second rarely adds up. This is just one of the many reasons I've always favored a good book over a movie. My point is that I feel this way about Aviva Vaughn's Beckoned series. I was completely drawn into Angela and Soren's story in book one, book two blew my mind and yet somehow even after following their story a third time, I NEED to know more." -Felicia, 5-star review "This lady has completely captured me with this series, at first I was intrigued to see how a American author would write about the UK and she definitely did it justice. I really feel that Aviva characters really pull you into the story and plays wonders with your imagination not many authors can really do that for me I've only got a hand full I will read hundreds of times over and over and she has definitely gone on that list for myself." -Claire,5-star review "The whole story/series has been fascinating and captivating- but this book takes it to a whole new level. Ms. Vaughn has upped the ante, so to speak, and produced a story that I devoured in matter of hours. I couldn't put it down and HAD to find out what was happening. The books just seem to get better and better.... And the love triangle of sorts/the 'threat,' and the emotional rollercoaster that this story took me on had me sooooo conflicted. I am now really anxious about the next book, and to find out how the story will end.Thank you, Ms. Vaughn!" -Angela, 5-star review "Woah part three! This series just keeps getting better! I read this one in just a few hours because I could not stop reading it! After finding out this is the author's favorite book of the series, I was so excited to read this and Aviva Vaughn did NOT disappoint! This book gave me a new appreciation for California and seeing it through the eyes of someone who truly loves it is wonderful.Every time Aviva Vaughn describes a new location, I can picture it in such vivid detail. She really has a way with words! Bring on Part 4!!" -Emily, 5-star review "I'm not even sure I'm even capable to begin to describe how much i enjoy this book ( and series ). Wow, it's such a roller ride! So much attention to details, scenic scenes and characters ! I can picture it all in my head and hear their voices. Phenomenal story plot, with drama, suspense, intrigue ... oh and sooo much love!! We can't all forgot that! The characters are relatable and entertaining! Such an amazing story, once you read one, you'll want to read the others ASAP!!" -Nicole, 4-star review "This series just gets better and better with each book..." -Lisette, 5-star review  FROM THE AUTHOR Dearest Reader, I wrote BECKONED for many reasons, but first and foremost, I wrote it to feature the kind of people I know: diverse, smart, complicated men and women. My heroines are strong and educated, and my heroes are polite and respectful. As an avid reader, I wanted to see characters that looked like me and my friends and reflect the world I want to see. I also wanted to write a beautiful book. I consider BECKONED to be a modern story told in an old-fashion way with lots of metaphors and beautiful phrases, and where the sex is explicit but also elegant. So if you are a Word Nerd like me, then you will love BECKONED! If you choose to embark on this journey with me, you--and your taste buds--will get to visit London, Barcelona, Bath, Los Angeles, Honolulu, Costa Rica, New Zealand, and Copenhagen. It will be a fun--and delicious--ride! There are even recipes in some of the books as well as soundtracks to give you a multi-sensory experience. BECKONED is a single story in six parts and should be read in order. The intimacy is steamy, but it is slooooooow burn and is distributed throughout the books because of how the couples' relationships change and deepen. Birthing BECKONED has truly been a labor of love, and I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it! BUCKLE UP and enjoy the journey. Wishing you love and romance, ~Aviva

Book excerpt: Pura López Colomé's true home is language rather than geographical place, and her poetry pays tribute to this debt to the mother tongue as source, origin, identity and consolation.

Her language is distilled to an apparent essence, at all times probing suggestive and fearless.

Download or read book A Creole Lexicon written by Jay Edwards and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2004-09-01 with total page 653 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout Louisiana's colonial and postcolonial periods, there evolved a highly specialized vocabulary for describing the region's buildings, people, and cultural landscapes. This creolized language -- a unique combination of localisms and words borrowed from French, Spanish, English, Indian, and Caribbean sources -- developed to suit the multiethnic needs of settlers, planters, explorers, builders, surveyors, and government officials. Today, this historic vernacular is often opaque to historians, architects, attorneys, geographers, scholars, and the general public who need to understand its meanings. With A Creole Lexicon, Jay Edwards and Nicolas Kariouk provide a highly organized resource for its recovery. Here are definitions for thousands of previously lost or misapplied terms, including watercraft and land vehicles, furniture, housetypes unique to Louisiana, people, and social categories. Drawn directly from travelers' accounts, historic maps, and legal documents, the volume's copious entries document what would actually have been heard and seen by the peoples of the Louisiana territory. Newly produced diagrams and drawings as well as reproductions of original eighteenth- and nineteenth-century documents and Historic American Buildings Surveys enhance understanding. Sixteen subject indexes list equivalent English words for easy access to appropriate Creole translations. A Creole Lexicon is an invaluable resource for exploring and preserving Louisiana's cultural heritage.

Download or read book Configurations of a Cultural Scene written by Andrew A. Anderson and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2023-01-15 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the 1920s, a remarkable number of young writers and artists lived and worked in Madrid, creating an atmosphere of effervescence and an upsurge in creativity that has rarely been equalled. These young people, acquainting themselves with one another within the span of only a few years, came together to form a tightly woven network of both personal and artistic relationships. In Configurations of a Cultural Scene Andrew Anderson explores this growing community of artists and writers with a focus on how sites of face-to-face interaction in Madrid fostered creative work and forged young identities. Organizing locations into places of sociability, learning, and residence, Anderson offers five case studies that exemplify the significance of these three points of intersection: Rafael Barradas and his tertulia at the Café de Oriente; an artists’ studio located on the Pasaje de la Alhambra; women art students at the Academia de San Fernando who lodged at the Residencia de Señoritas; the artist and writer Gabriel García Maroto; and the close relationship between artist Maruja Mallo and poet Rafael Alberti. Departing from conventional approaches that foreground the trajectories of individual careers, Anderson privileges the lived experience of artists and writers in his analysis of a rich cultural scene held together by cooperation, exchange, and interpersonal connections.
