Los niños están creciendo hasta llegar a la edad adulta y experimentando romances incipientes en la paz y armonía que sus padres lucharon tan duro por lograr. Pero, sin que ellos lo sepan, aquellos que todavía creen en las ideologías y sistemas arcaicos del pasado han estado viviendo bajo tierra en un búnker y están listos para emerger. Cuando los dos grupos se enfrentan, se desarrolla el caos y la tragedia y el viejo mundo choca con el nuevo, y la gente de Andrómeda debe decidir si ayuda a Los Hechiceros De Los Sueños, que son los creadores involuntarios de la realidad virtual del programa Dreamspell y que son lo que están siendo controlados y reprimidos por las grandes élites. ¿Podrán Corey Tusk y sus amigos hacer frente a estas fuerzas del mal utilizando todos los dones de sus nuevos estados iluminados, o sucumbirán al miedo que los gobernó durante décadas bajo la represión de los Mensis?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ¿Quién es tan enemigo de Roma como para no defender el altar de la diosa Victoria? Verano de 384. El Imperio Romano está dividido. Teodosio gobierna oriente desde Constantinopla. El pequeño Valentiniano II reside en Milán y, asistido por su madre Justina y vigilado por el obispo Ambrosio, administra los territorios centrales. Mientras, el usurpador Máximo, cuyos dominios se extienden por occidente, tiene su sede en Tréveris. Los hunos amenazan las fronteras de l Imperio. La nación goda, tras varias revueltas, se somete a los tratados para establecerse como aliada en las provincias de Mesia y Tracia. El cristianismo goza del respaldo de los emperadores, pero entre sus seguidores existen importantes desavenencias y conflictos. En Roma, un grupo de senadores, encabezados por el prefecto Simmaco, urde un plan para conseguir que el joven Valentiniano devuelva las ayudas económicas a los cultos paganos y restituya la estatua de la diosa Victoria al lugar donde siempre estuvo, el edificio de la Curia. Mientras tanto, en un lugar de Italia, unos monjes destruyen un santuario dedicado a la diosa Diana.
Download or read book Ficino in Spain written by Susan Byrne and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2015-01-01 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the first translator of Plato's complete works into Latin, the Florentine writer Marsilio Ficino (1433-99) and his blend of Neoplatonic and Hermetic philosophy were fundamental to the intellectual atmosphere of the Renaissance. In Spain, his works were regularly read, quoted, and referenced, at least until the nineteenth century, when literary critics and philosophers wrote him out of the history of early modern Spain. In Ficino in Spain, Susan Byrne uses textual and bibliographic evidence to show the pervasive impact of Ficino's writings and translations on the Spanish Renaissance. Cataloguing everything from specific mentions of his name in major texts to glossed volumes of his works in Spanish libraries, Byrne shows that Spanish writers such as Miguel de Cervantes, Lope de Vega, Bartolomé de las Casas, and Garcilaso de la Vega all responded to Ficino and adapted his imagery for their own works. An important contribution to the study of Spanish literature and culture from the fifteenth to the seventeenth centuries, Ficino in Spain recovers the role that Hermetic and Neoplatonic thought played in the world of Spanish literature.
Download or read book Lenguaje arte y revoluciones ayer y hoy written by Alejandro Cortazar and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2011-05-25 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book depicts new paradigms in Hispanic linguistic, literary and cultural studies. Part I: Literary and Cultural Studies includes eight essays focusing on a new trend of cultural representation attempting to find new meaning(s). They explore a series of reflections on some of those moments – from the period that begins with the cry for independence in 1810 and that spans beyond 2010 – textually translated as new approaches of analysis on the “recollections of things to come.” The contexts examined evince critical occurrences related to periods of change toward democracy and social justice that eventually lead to “revolutionary” or “emancipating” ends, by way of artistic, textual manifestations. Part II: Linguistic and Cultural Studies contains nine articles representative of the most current, ground breaking research on Hispanic linguistics. It focuses on important linguistic and cultural issues pertaining, geographically, to various corners of the Hispanic world, spanning from central Florida and New York City, to Bolivia, and on to the Prince Islands in Turkey. The issues explored include the sociolinguistic and cultural identity of Puerto Ricans in the United States, the pragmatics of humor in Mexican film, the effects of language evolution on modern Spanish, and the acquisition of Spanish by English speakers.

Download or read book Love and its Critics written by Michael Bryson and published by Open Book Publishers. This book was released on 2017-07-10 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a history of love and the challenge love offers to the laws and customs of its times and places, as told through poetry from the Song of Songs to John Milton’s Paradise Lost. It is also an account of the critical reception afforded to such literature, and the ways in which criticism has attempted to stifle this challenge. Bryson and Movsesian argue that the poetry they explore celebrates and reinvents the love the troubadour poets of the eleventh and twelfth centuries called fin’amor: love as an end in itself, mutual and freely chosen even in the face of social, religious, or political retribution. Neither eros nor agape, neither exclusively of the body, nor solely of the spirit, this love is a middle path. Alongside this tradition has grown a critical movement that employs a 'hermeneutics of suspicion', in Paul Ricoeur’s phrase, to claim that passionate love poetry is not what it seems, and should be properly understood as worship of God, subordination to Empire, or an entanglement with the structures of language itself – in short, the very things it resists. The book engages with some of the seminal literature of the Western canon, including the Bible, the poetry of Ovid, and works by English authors such as William Shakespeare and John Donne, and with criticism that stretches from the earliest readings of the Song of Songs to contemporary academic literature. Lively and enjoyable in its style, it attempts to restore a sense of pleasure to the reading of poetry, and to puncture critical insistence that literature must be outwitted. It will be of value to professional, graduate, and advanced undergraduate scholars of literature, and to the educated general reader interested in treatments of love in poetry throughout history.

Download or read book COMBINADO DEL ESTE written by Mireya Robles and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2010-08-12 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: COMBINADO DEL ESTE por Mireya Robles Reseña por Anna Diegel El título de esta obra, que se refiere al nombre de la cárcel más infame de Cuba, conocida por sus extremas violaciones de los derechos humanos, es solamente una descripción parcial del contenido de la novela. Ésta es el relato de casi siete meses en la vida de un joven cubano, desde los días que preceden a su arresto y encarcelamiento en el Combinado a fines de 1979, hasta su liberación y su embarco para los Estados Unidos durante la Operación Mariel en mayo de 1980, cuando Fidel Castro expulsó por la fuerza a los elementos “indeseables” de la sociedad cubana. La segunda parte de Combinado del Este describe la llegada de los “Marielitos” a la Florida, y después, el traslado de los prisoneros cubanos a un centro de relocalización y su vida en ese lugar. El héroe de la novela, Mede, es un personaje complejo, orgulloso de su masculinidad y pronto a defender sus derechos por la fuerza cuando es necesario, pero también, un padre cariñoso, un amigo compasivo y un poeta sensible. De hecho, él está encarcelado por haber escrito poemas disidentes contra el gobierno cubano. Mede es la voz narrativa de la novela y través de él vemos escenas de la vida carcelaria y la violencia habitual entre hombres confinados en un espacio restringido: peleas y puñaladas para determinar quién es más fuerte, violaciones homosexuales, y hasta asesinatos y suicidios. No existe ninguna solidaridad en la miseria entre los presos. Mede describe las condiciones inhumanas que reinan en la cárcel cubana: comida insuficiente y falta de higiene, brutalidad de los guardas hacia los presos y la hipocresía de un sistema que aumenta las raciones de comida o provee a los reclusos de ropa nueva cuando muestran la cárcel a miembros de organizaciones humanitarias extranjeras. Finalmente, Mede les da vida a los varios personajes reunidos en su celda: disidentes políticos, ladrones o asesinos comunes, homosexuales, testigos de Jehová. También describe las costumbres específicamente cubanas de algunos de sus compañeros, particularmente, las prácticas de la santería (la religión afro-cubana) o las de sociedades secretas como la de los abacuás. Unos meses más tarde, los presos son procesados para su evacuación fuera de la isla, una evacuación en la que no pueden revelar su condición de prisioneros, y deben hacerse pasar por ciudadanos civiles pidiendo asilo político, pues la embajada peruana ha concedido asilo a los cubanos que deseen salir del país. Los civiles y los presos comparten los barcos atestados de gente y al llegar a la Florida serán separados, cada grupo asignado a un destino particular por las autoridades americanas. En esta segunda parte de la novela se nota una evolución y una maduración en el carácter del narrador. Mede experimenta emociones contradictorias: alivio por su liberación de la cárcel y desesperación al estar exiliado de su familia y de su amada isla. La descripción de la travesía del barco de los exiliados a través del estrecho de Florida transmite el intenso dolor que siente Mede por su expatriación. Pero pronto, su nueva sensación de libertad supera el sentido de pérdida, y la acogida calurosa de los presos por los americanos, después de seis meses de tratamiento brutal en el Combinado, lo llena de agradecimiento. La última parte de la novela es el relato de un viaje de descubrimiento, en el que el protagonista recupera gradualmente su humanidad y su voz poética. La cándida descripción que hace Mede de objetos y experiencias vividas durante su traslado desde la ciudad “mágica” de Cayo Hueso hacia el campamento para hombres solteros, de donde serán trasladados a otro lugar (abrir las cajitas que la administración le ha dado para su aseo personal, un gesto amable de uno de los encargados que recibe a los prisoneros, un vuelo maravilloso en un avión) enfatiza el contraste entre la vida americana y el trato cruel de la gente en las isla-prisión de Cuba. El lector se da cuenta de que
Download or read book Tar ntula written by Bob Dylan and published by Malpaso Ediciones SL. This book was released on 2017-02-20 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La ópera prima del último premio Nobel y uno de los artistas más influyentes de nuestros días. "Tarántula" es una suerte de lectura iniciática imprescindible para comprender el imaginario dylaniano que puebla sus canciones desde "Bringing It All Back Home","Highway 61 Revisited" y "Blonde on Blonde". Los textos en verso y en prosa que conforman esta aproximación a la escritura automática no están exentos de la musicalidad propia de las composiciones de Dylan de la época ni de las preocupaciones que acompañan al artista en el que posiblemente sea el año más importante de su carrera: cierto inconformismo, una evidente y creciente predilección por el genio verbal y por la espontaneidad, y la firme creencia en la legitimidad de la calle como fuente inagotable de inspiración.
