Download or read book Under Spanish Stars written by Anna Pagram and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-05-18 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: European Contemporary Romance Series Book 3 An Andalucian love story.Another heartwarming contemporary romance from Anna Pagram, UNDER SPANISH STARS charts the love life of Catalina (Cat) Meredith, a free-lance journalist and astrologer for the women's magazine La Confianza. It is a story of powerful sensuality and passion with the romantic action moving between the heat of Andalucia in Southern Spain and London in the UK. As if ordained by fate, Cat is writing an article for the Romantic Weekends slot and first meets Dominic Ravensdale in one of Cordoba's hotel patios. Their second meeting is in London's West End, in the offices of La Confianza. However, Shakespeare's observation that “the course of true love never did run smooth” certainly applies to the passionate relationship that develops between Cat and Dominic, and their story is characterised by a series of misunderstandings and misinterpretation. Take this story with you on holiday or if it's raining, snowing or generally grey outside, treat yourself to some sunshine at home and immerse yourself in this unashamedly romantic tale. More entrancing novels in the European Contemporary Romance Series by Anna Pagram: Book 1 RHODES TO ROMANCE Book 2 TEMPTATION IN TUSCANY Book 4 PASSION IN PROVENCE The novels in this series are linked by the strongly romantic nature of their themes and their European locations. Each story is separate and stands alone in other respects.
Download or read book Spanish Film Under Franco written by Virginia Higginbotham and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2014-01-27 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does a totalitarian government influence the arts, and how do the arts respond? Spanish Film Under Franco raises these important questions, giving English speakers a starting point in their study of Spanish cinema. After a brief overview of Spanish film before Franco, the author proceeds to a discussion of censorship as practiced by the Franco regime. The response of directors to censorship—the “franquista aesthetic,” or “aesthetic of repression,” with its highly metaphorical, oblique style—is explored in the works of Luis Buñuel, Carlos Saura, Juan Antonio Bardem, Luis García Berlanga, and other important directors. Virginia Higginbotham combines historical perspective with detailed critical analysis and interpretation of many famous Franco-era films. She shows how directors managed to evade the censors and raise public awareness of issues relating to the Spanish Civil War and the repressions of the Franco regime. Film has always performed an educational function in Spain, reaching masses of poor and uneducated citizens. And sometimes, as this study also reveals, Spanish film has been ignored when the questions it raised became too painful or demanding. The author concludes with a look at post-Franco cinema and the directions it has taken. For anyone interested in modern Spanish film, this book will be essential reading.
Download or read book Moctezuma s Children written by Donald E. Chipman and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though the Aztec Empire fell to Spain in 1521, three principal heirs of the last emperor, Moctezuma II, survived the conquest and were later acknowledged by the Spanish victors as reyes naturales (natural kings or monarchs) who possessed certain inalienable rights as Indian royalty. For their part, the descendants of Moctezuma II used Spanish law and customs to maintain and enhance their status throughout the colonial period, achieving titles of knighthood and nobility in Mexico and Spain. So respected were they that a Moctezuma descendant by marriage became Viceroy of New Spain (colonial Mexico's highest governmental office) in 1696. This authoritative history follows the fortunes of the principal heirs of Moctezuma II across nearly two centuries. Drawing on extensive research in both Mexican and Spanish archives, Donald E. Chipman shows how daughters Isabel and Mariana and son Pedro and their offspring used lawsuits, strategic marriages, and political maneuvers and alliances to gain pensions, rights of entailment, admission to military orders, and titles of nobility from the Spanish government. Chipman also discusses how the Moctezuma family history illuminates several larger issues in colonial Latin American history, including women's status and opportunities and trans-Atlantic relations between Spain and its New World colonies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stars and Masculinities in Spanish Cinema focuses on the careers of ten Spanish film actors, including Antonio Banderas, Javier Bardem, and Eduardo Noriega. Chris Perriam traces their development as stars in the Spanish context and builds on recent, exciting work on Spanish film and culture bycombining close study of performance in specific scenes with the theoretical paradigms of Star Studies and research into masculinities. Full use of popular and intellectual press coverage of these actors grounds the approach in the certain specifics of Spanish audience responses and productioncontexts in the period covered - more or less from Almodovar's Labyrinth of Passion to the latest premieres. Scenes from thirty key films are covered in detail, and the full range of each star's Spanish career is studied by briefer reference to some seventy films or more. Spanish cinema is among themost exciting and distinctive cinemas in Europe and this new study is a key contribution to the growing fields of Spanish Cultural and Film Studies.
