Description
En este breve pero intenso texto —hasta ahora inédito en castellano— el maestro siciliano se convierte en Tiresias y se sumerge en su mito para revelar la verdadera esencia del adivino ciego. Entregado a esa narración viva y carismática tan propia de toda su extensa obra, Camilleri repasa en estas páginas mitos y dioses, escritores y personajes literarios, hila el pasado con el presente y, como Tiresias, escudriña el futuro con su mirada...
44) Bodas de sangre
Author
Formats
Description
Con Bodas de sangre, obra en tres actos, escrita en verso y en prosa en 1933, Federico García Lorca se propuso escribir una tragedia en el sentido clásico del término, un género que consideraba la verdadera raíz del teatro.
La obra está ambientada en la tradicional Andalucía -que Lorca convierte en un lugar tan mítico y universal como la Grecia clásica-. Allí una joven enamorada de Leonardo, con quien mantuvo en el pasado una relación,...

This small book contains an engaging spread of rhymes and poems; humorous, romantic or based around historical events.
The opening twenty-eight translations of early Dutch poetry are the most well-known of that language and period. The originals were written in a straightforward and unembellished style, making attractive yet metred translation not too tricky.
The fourteen Norwegian pieces are from the nineteenth century. Their Lutheran adumbrations...

Description
Tour de Nesle (The Tower of Death) is one of Alexandre Dumas's greatest and most powerful plays, a tale of power and conviction, although its historical accuracy is far from certain.
Queen Marguerite and her sisters entertain themselves by luring unsuspecting men to the Tower, which located across the Seine from the Louvre. There they entice their victims to join them for wild sexual escapades-all expressly forbidden, of course, by both Church and...

55) Scintillata Nee
Author
Description
Scintillata Nee is an extraordinary, experimental volume of verse by young author Cynthia Tenor. While the poems take the reader through the development of a personal relationship, the text is expressed in highly unusual terms: words are often chosen for their sound and/or etymology and rather than for their more obvious meaning. Strange and imaginative coinings of new words are dotted throughout the text, while many of the poems also include deliberate...
56) Degas
Author
Description
Edgar Degas began as a classical painter of genre history scenes and died as one of the greatest and most innovative names in French art-although as with so many other artists, he did not receive a great deal of recognition in his lifetime. Along the way his style changed completely from strict academic formalism to near-abstract scenes of contemporary Parisian life. His primary subject was the human form, especially that of women, and he also loved...

59) Poemas
Author
Series
Description
Félix Lope de Vega escribió una poesía ardiente, vital y en cierto modo desenfadada. Dedicó gran parte de su vida en la composición poética aunque sea más conocido como dramaturgo. Se conservan, entre otros, un total de tres mil sonetos. Su creación lírica es especialmente intensa a partir de 1580 por su rivalidad con Luis de Góngora, momento en el que abandonará el soneto para volver a la métrica puramente española, es decir, el octosílabo....

Description
While French writer Alexandre Dumas is best-known for The Three Musketeers and The Count of Monte Cristo, many critics consider his Marie-Antoinette novels to be his greatest achievement. Indeed, he was working on a dramatization of The Queen's Necklace at the time of his death in 1870. This was never published, but French playwright Pierre Decourcelle then produced his own version of this work. A successful dramatist, Decourcelle did a brilliant...
