Spain, Take This Chalice from Me and Other Poems

Autor: Cesar Vallejo

Número de Páginas: 352

A major new bilingual edition of the Peruvian poet's work Cesar Vallejo is one of the best-known Latin American poets of the twentieth century. Challenging, intense, and difficult to translate, Vallejo's work has often been overshadowed by his fervent endorsement of communism. Noted scholar Ilan Stavans tackles the avant- garde poet's politics head-on in an enlightening new introduction that places Vallejo in his proper literary context, while Margaret Sayers Peden's new translation does full justice to Vallejo's complex literary style. Including Spanish and English versions of more than eighty poems that span the arc of his career, this volume is certain to become the leading collection of Vallejo's work for years to come. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.

Scream Queer

Autor: Javier Parra

Número de Páginas: 304

Mi yo adolescente creció metido en un armario, creyendo que Clive Barker era la única persona abiertamente gay que se dedicaba a mi género favorito: el terror. Por suerte, estaba equivocado, y la presencia de personajes LGTBIQ+ en el cine fantástico ha sido una constante a lo largo de su historia y no ha hecho sino aumentar en las últimas décadas. Además de pasar a formar parte del imaginario colectivo, monstruos cinematográficos procedentes de la literatura gótica como Drácula, la criatura de Frankenstein o Mr. Hyde fueron algunos de los primeros ejemplos de representaciones queer en la gran pantalla, ligadas siempre a lo diferente, a lo raro y a todo aquello que iba en contra de lo heteronormativo. Del predominio de clichés negativos —lesbianas con tendencias psicópatas, sanguinarias vampiras bisexuales, asesinos travestidos y un largo etcétera— a la plena aceptación de la diversidad, Scream Queer propone un amplio recorrido por la evolución de la representación LGTBIQ+ en el género fantástico a través del análisis de cientos de películas, expiando además los traumas y contando las vivencias personales que han marcado a quien esto escribe: un marica...

La voz y el actor

Autor: Cicely Berry

«Cicely nunca separa el sonido de las palabras de su contexto vital. Eso es lo que hace que La voz y el actor sea un libro tan necesario y valioso.» Peter Brook «Sin el talento de Cicely, mi regreso de la cinematografía a Shakespeare hubiera sido imposible.» Jeremy Irons La voz y el actor fue publicado en 1973 en el Reino Unido y es una de las principales fuentes de donde surgen las aproximaciones vocales posteriores; desarrolla el método de aprendizaje y producción vocal que Cicely Berry utilizó en la mítica Royal Shakespeare Company. Este título, que presentamos en versión española y es un auténtico referente de la formación vocal para directores y actores teatrales desde hace décadas, aporta ejercicios para el desarrollo de la relajación y el control de la respiración que permiten optimizar los recursos vocales para que tanto actores profesionales como oradores de cualquier tipo puedan alcanzar su máximo potencial. Ilustrado con pasajes de las propias clases, La voz y el actor constituye un primer paso indispensable para aproximarse al texto hablado o recitado y dotarlo de verdad y corporeidad personal para poder transmitirlo de forma auténtica y con su...

Dead Men Flying

Autor: General Patrick Henry Brady , Meghan Brady Smith

Número de Páginas: 629

Viet Nam may be the only war we ever fought, or perhaps that was ever fought, in which the heroism of the American soldier was accompanied by humanitarianism unmatched in the annals of warfare. And the humanitarianism took place during the heat of the battle. The GI fixed as he fought, he cured and educated and built in the middle of the battle. He truly cared for, and about, those people. What other Army has ever done that? Humanitarianism was America's great victory in Viet Nam. Spearheading the humanitarian efforts were the air ambulance operations, call-sign Dust Off, the most dangerous of all aviation operations, which rescued some one million souls in Viet Nam. Dead Men Flying is the story of Charles Kelly, the father of Dust Off, who gave his life to save Dust Off—the greatest life-saver ever. His dying words—When I have your wounded—set the standard for combat medicine to this day. It is also the story of the author, Medal of Honor recipient General Patrick Brady, who learned from Charles Kelly and struggled to meet his standard. Brady led the 54th Medical Detachment as it rescued over twenty-one thousand wounded—enemy and friendly—in ten months, while sustaining ...

Frozen Mystery

Autor: Lynn Stern

Número de Páginas: 159

Running counter to prevailing artistic trends, Lynn Stern's work ignores popular culture in favor of her own austere internal world. Frozen Mystery is a profound meditation on death and the human psyche, explored through works spanning three decades. Stern's imagery of skulls, which runs through five distinct bodies of work, is unique in contemporary photography (though certainly a tradition in art history). Stern works in series, exclusively in black and white and exclusively in natural, indirect light; the results are characterized by a luminosity that is at least as important as her ostensible subject matter. "My aim," she writes, "is to de-literalize what is in front of the lens--to make it the expression of something unseen, something beyond the thing itself." Exploring, in part, the relationship between photography and painting, Frozen Mystery accompanies a major retrospective of Stern's work at the Museo Fundación Cristóbal Gabarrón in Valladolid, Spain.

The Gift That changed our lives

Autor: Rocío Martín Díez

When you’re told that your child has brain damage, the world falls apart around you. No matter what happens to you, this is a turning point in your life, where you have to take decisions. For me, it was the moment when I decided, without knowing that I had, to start a new life; an awakening, a road with no return. Our children with brain injury come to teach us many things; it’s no coincidence that they have chosen us. Felipón has been, and is, a gift, I’m not speaking out of faith or through false hope, but rather from the experience of a woman who has discovered how loving herself can make her son improve day by day. There’s a fine, imperceptible thread between a mother and her children; a thread that only she recognises, but in order to recognise it, we must be there, in the present, and listen to ourselves. This is the story of how I’ve lived since we were told that Felipón had six very serious injuries in his brain, when I was twenty weeks pregnant. I’d have given a great deal to find a book where someone told me where to start... I do hope this book will help you to understand, as I have done, that your son is coming to achieve much more than you can possibly...

The Wrong House

Autor: Esteban Burier

Número de Páginas: 170

“THE WRONG HOUSE” (Marielito; Exodus of Cubans in 1980) By Esteban Burier For all opponents of the Castro regime who went to comply with arbitrary sanctions; for those who were executed by the Castro regime; deprived of any defense, innocent of cases imposed by improvised courts; for those who were under the inclemency of the murderer Ernesto (Che) Guevara and so many other lap dogs of the dictator Fidel Castro; They are my deepest respect and admiration. They gave their lives with a shout of; Live Christ the King! Long live free Cuba! “THE WRONG HOUSE” Narrates the childhood of a boy that never thought twice to make a decision, committing many errors which took him, as consequence of punishment, to many juvenile reformatories and at last to jail, where he spent part of his life. The good education from his family did not influence on the boy, who does not divert from his delinquent path. A supernatural strength pushed him to these twisted paths to destroy and incarcerate him to where the stubborn are taken, to where you are subject to many tests and you can lose your dignity and also your manhood, depending on how weak or strong your personality is or if you allow to be...

Cuando el alma escribe

Autor: Silvia P�rez

Número de Páginas: 220

El libro que quiero presentar es un trabajo de largo plazo, siempre me he preguntado, porqu en algunos momentos de la vida las personas actuamos de forma diferente en iguales circunstancias, es por eso que me decid a intentar plasmar en papel las sensaciones y sentimientos que a veces no sabemos expresar con palabras. Creo que algunas personas se sentirn identificadas y a otras les dar la oportunidad de comprender. Espero que les guste. The book I want to present is a long-term work. I have always asked myself why, in some moments in life, we react differently under the same circumstances; that is why I decided to put to paper the feelings and reflections which sometimes are hard to explain with words. I think some people will feel identified with it, and some other will have the chance to understand. I hope you like it.

Tras las lentes de Isabel Coixet

Autor: Zecchi, Barbara

Número de Páginas: 502

Tras las lentes de Isabel Coixet: Cine, Compromiso y Feminismo es el estudio más completo hasta la fecha sobre la obra de Isabel Coixet, una de las más prolíficas, versátiles y cosmopolitas cineastas del panorama cinematográfico actual. El volumen examina la producción de la directora catalana, desde cuatro ángulos diferentes. La primera parte recorre las temáticas generales de su producción: los lugares, las miradas, las texturas, los silencios y los sonidos, y su diálogo con la teoría fílmica feminista. La segunda disecciona al detalle sus películas de ficción, desde Demasiado viejo para morir joven (1989) hasta Learning to Drive (2014). La tercera se centra en los documentales, su trabajo más explícitamente social. Y la última ofrece una mirada sobre la cineasta más allá de su obra fílmica, completando así su retrato.

Sometimes we can even physically or mentally harm them. Among the stories written here, one is true. It speaks of a little girl who has been criticized since her birth but has had the intelligence to turn criticism into positive energy. She has not stopped to listen to mediocre...

Divine Intervention is the story of a humble person who was born in El Salvador, being the fourth daughter of nine brothers and sisters. She once lived the most amazing childhood surrounded by nature and love in a place of freedom and happiness where all the children have the freedom to play together in a secure environment. During school time, I had a wonderful experience in learning in my humble public school. We, all the children of the community, walk together to the school with no fear; we walk in a safe environment. During 1980s, the country was having a social change. It was not safe anymore; I just looked at the chaos that was happening in our communities, with the families. The community was not safe anymore; what I saw was destruction and poverty, no job opportunities. I decided to migrate to the United States. I knew it would not be easy, but I took the risk of losing my life in the journey, by crossing the desert and getting on board of the train, The Beast, looking for my American dream. Like many immigrants who leave their loved ones to give them a better future, I also left my eighteen-month-old baby. I went through this pain that is hard to explain, and only the...
