Barrie, Hook, and Peter Pan

Sinopsis del Libro

Libro Barrie, Hook, and Peter Pan

Peter Pan was born over a century ago. There is something doubly contradictory in this phrase that, although true, is also the reason why this book has been released. We are talking about the boy who will never grow up and the fact that he is celebrating his hundredth birthday should provoke some surprise. At the same time, he is such a powerful icon that it is also true that he seems to have been there, floating in our culture, reappearing in its images, since time immemorial - much farther back than the early twentieth century. This book shows that, although he considered dying to be an awfully big adventure, Peter Pan is, on his one hundredth birthday, more alive than ever. And our prediction is that he will accompany our culture as long as it survives. Like all great myths, Peter will continue bursting through the window of our texts, leading us to other worlds so that when we least expect it, we will hear his cry emanate from a dark ocean. This book, in a sincere tribute, intends to be both a compilation and a precedent - by inspiring a deeper look into its image, we hope to influence the life of this character so dear and yet so mysterious and seductive. Peter Pan ha cumplido un siglo de vida. Hay algo doblemente contradictorio en esta frase que, por lo demàs, es cierta y es el motivo por el cual este libro ha visto la luz. Estamos hablando del niuo que nunca crece y el hecho de que celebre su cumpleauos nùmero cien puede provocarnos cierta extraueza. Por otro lado, se trata de un icono tan poderoso que tambièn es verdad que parece haber estado ahì, flotando en nuestra cultura, resurgiendo en sus imàgenes, desde tiempos inmemoriales mucho màs lejanos que los albores del siglo XX. Este libro muestra que, a pesar de que considere que morir podrìa resultar una aventura extraordinaria, Peter Pan està a sus cien auos màs vivo que nunca. Y el panorama pinta, en efecto, para una vida que acompaue a nuestra cultura mientras èsta sobreviva. Igual que sucede con todos los grandes mitos, Peter seguirà irrumpiendo a travès de la ventana de nuestros textos, guiàndonos a otros mundos de tal manera que, cuando menos lo esperemos, escucharemos su grito emanar de un ocèano oscuro. Este libro, en un sincero homenaje, pretende ser compilaciòn y precedente y, mediante la provocaciòn, mediante la motivaciòn de la profundizaciòn en su figura, incidir en la trayectoria de la vida de este personaje tan entrauable y a la vez tan misterioso y seductor.

Hacia la Novela Nueva

Libro Hacia la Novela Nueva

This volume of essays in Spanish and English examines some of the key issues which surround the emergence of the Avant-Garde novel in Spain at the beginning of the twentieth century. The experimental novel of the 1920s is seen as the culmination of a process of change in approaches to the novel which began early in the century and was further promoted by Spain's key Avant-Gardist Ramón Gómez de la Serna. Several essays focus on the form of the novel and seek to shed new light on the role of José Ortega y Gasset as mentor to the new writers of the 1920s and on our understanding of his use...

Seis historias en torno a Mario

El ministerio de la verdad

Libro El ministerio de la verdad

'1984', de George Orwell, se ha convertido en un relato definitorio del mundo moderno. Su influencia cultural puede observarse en algunas de las creaciones más notables de los últimos setenta años, desde 'El cuento de la criada' de Margaret Atwood hasta el hito televisivo Gran Hermano, mientras que ideas como "policía del pensamiento", "doblepensamiento" y "Newspeak" están arraigadas en nuestro lenguaje. 'El Ministerio de la Verdad' traza la vida de uno de los libros más influyentes del siglo XX y una obra que es cada vez más relevante en esta tumultuosa era de "noticias falsas" y...

The Lyrical Vision of María Luisa Bombal

Libro The Lyrical Vision of María Luisa Bombal

This volume contains an examination of what are described as the most poetic examples of Chilean prose written in the 20th century. By adopting Ralph Freedman's conceptual definition of lyrical narrative and using it as her point of departure, Professor Kostopolos-Cooperman argues that the protean and magical nature of Bombal's lyrical prose transcends the causal, temporal and spatial movement that characterizes conventional fiction. In her view, Bombal's work is rather a narrative that arises in the poetic imagination of a narrator who creates a tapestry of expanding musical and pictorial...
