Francisco de Rojas Zorrilla y Augustín Moreto

Sinopsis del Libro

An elucidation in Spanish of the dramatic intentions and accomplishments of the two best imitators of the inspired craftsmanship of Pedro Calderón de la Barca, this is the first monograph to be published on Rojas Zorilla and Moreto for at least two decades. Following an introductory section, in which she discusses and compares the differing attitudes and methods of the two dramatists, the author concentrates on their respective achievements in the genres which they practiced with enthusiasm and ability. Among the comedies and serious secular plays selected for analysis are not only their most celebrated works, but also numerous plays previously overlooked or undervalued. These lesser-known works are revealed to be worthy of scholarly attention and are also discovered to illuminate hitherto rarely perceived or appreciated aspects of their creators' dramatic art. Moreto is shown to have, besides his famous aptitude for comedy, considerable abilities for treating serious or tragic themes, conflicts and characters. In addition to his celebrated preference and capacity for dramatizing sensationalist subjects and for creating abnormal, even pathological protagonists, Rojas Zorilla is observed to have other less obvious talents – for exploiting without fuss the best resources and techniques of drama and the stage; and for creating with imaginative restraint characters that are convincingly normal and humanly limited in the directions of their thoughts, the ranges of their emotions and the extremes of their conduct.

La encendida memoria (2ª ed.)

Este volumen analiza la vida y obra de Thomas Merton a partir de la relación entre los conceptos de soledad y sociedad desde una memoria iluminada. Se establecen correspondencias entre aspectos cruciales que se abordan dentro de las categorías amplias de soledad y sociedad desde la perspectiva de los estudios norteamericanos. La estructura monástica sería transformada en un proceso religioso dinámico, al igual que un tiempo de silencio habría de acompañar una necesidad de anunciar las buenas noticias halladas en el corazón de la contemplación y de denunciar los males de su tiempo. El ...

Cartas del dragón

Cartas del Dragón (Correspondencia, 1958-1973) es un atisbo fascinante del Bruce Lee privado que se hallaba detrás de la imagen pública: un hombre dotado de la paciencia y el interés suficientes para dedicar la misma atención a redactar una respuesta profunda y personal a la carta de una admiradora o a escribir a sus viejos amigos y socios; un hombre muy activo, pero al que nunca faltó tiempo para dedicárselo a un viejo amigo de la familia necesitado de compañía; un hombre que no escribió jamás sin reflexionar bien lo que escribía, que nunca pensó sólo con la cabeza, sino que lo ...

Tras los murmullos

Text in Spanish. Pedro Páramo, the only novel published by the Mexican writer Juan Rulfo, is a masterpiece. Tras los murmullos offers six different readings and analyses of the novel by Mexican and Scandinavian scholars. Contrary to what might be expected, the Scandinavian reader is able to identify with the solitude of the characters in the novel, the language of few words of the peasants and the careful linguistic awareness of Rulfo. This may not be surprising since Rulfo was, as discussed in one of the chapters, inspired by Scandinavian literature, which he admired. Also discussed here is ...
