Sinopsis del Libro

Libro Universal Father

Pope John Paul II is now universally considered to have been one of the great leaders of the twentieth century and possibly the most politically influential pope since St Peter. His achievements are well documented, yet he once said, 'I can only be understood from the inside.' In this vivid and accessible living portrait, O'Connor investigates the inner man, including Karol Wojtyla's life before he became Pope and his friendships with men and women, subtly analysing the Pope's own poems, plays and philosophical works for clues as to what made him tick. It also dramatically follows his life, from his birth in Poland in 1920, through the losses that shaped his childhood, the assassination attempt in 1981, and his great public confrontations on the world stage, right up until his death in April 2005.

These are some of the episodes that are collected in this astonishing and intimate memoir: seventeen grazes with death, as the author calls them, that could have ended up in disaster.

Libro Pasión, desarraigo y literatura: el compositor Robert Gerhard

Robert Gerhard es, sin duda, uno de los compositores españoles más relevantes del siglo xx; muchas veces es nombrado como la figura más importante del citado período junto a Falla. Sin embargo, tanto su biografía como su música son escasamente conocidas en nuestro país. La presente monografía reclama la atención sobre este gran compositor: ofrece una biografía rigurosa y actualizada, un análisis de su pensamiento estético e ideológico, y estudia la parte de su producción en la que Gerhard utilizó la Literatura como excusa creativa, dando lugar a algunas obras maestras como su...
