Las loas y entremeses, piezas teatrales de corta duración que solían acompañar con frecuencia a comedias y autos sacramentales, son dos de las formas de teatro breve más cultivadas por los grandes dramaturgos del Siglo de Oro. De (More) simples introducciones al espectáculo y entretenimiento entre los diversos actos de las comedias, pasaron a ser verdaderas obras maestras de la mano de autores como Lope de Rueda, Agustín de Rojas, Alonso de Castillo Solórzano, Hurtado de Mendoza, Calderón de la Barca y, por supuesto, Miguel de Cervantes, cuyos entremeses son considerados una de las cimas del género. Ignacio Arellano, uno de los máximos especialistas en literatura del Siglo de Oro, propone en este libro una cuidada selección de estas formas de teatro breve que ayudará al lector a comprender su génesis y evolución. Todo ello, además, se presenta revestido con una introducción, actividades finales y un sólido aparato de notas.

Arturo Pérez-Reverte: «La ayuda española a la independencia norteamericana es uno de los grandes, épicos y olvidados episodios de nuestra historia que debemos recuperar y dar a conocer. Los relatos que este libro contiene ayudarán a que eso sea posible». Este libro acompaña en Nueva Orleans, Washington DC y Miami a la exposición «Memorias Recobradas: España, Nueva Orleans, y la ayuda a la Revolución Norteamericana», que conmemora el tercer centenario de Nueva Orleans y que hasta el 8 de julio puede visitarse en la ciudad del estado de Luisiana. La cubierta del libro es un fragmento de La marcha de Gálvez, pintura de Augusto Ferrer-Dalmau que se expone en dicha muestra. Bajo dos banderas, obra ideada y dirigida por Arturo Pérez-Reverte y coordinada por Leandro Pérez, incluye una cronología de hitos de la Independencia de los Estados Unidos de América, a cargo de Juan Eslava Galán. Y además cuenta con un prólogo de Ignacio Galán, presidente de Iberdrola, donde asegura: «Las historias de los eminentes escritores que acompañarán al lector durante este recorrido nos invitan a recordar el rol fundamental de España en episodios clave y, sin embargo, poco conocidos. Son textos que abordan nuestro ayer con miradas diferentes procedentes de las dos orillas, recordándonos que todos somos memoria». Bajo dos banderas es una edición no venal; es decir, es un libro que no va a estar a la venta en librerías y cuya edición en ebook es gratuita. Además, hemos impreso varios miles ejemplares del libro que distribuiremos en diversas iniciativas junto con Iberdrola. Y hemos publicado en Zenda los doce relatos uno a uno, en artículos independientes, durante el mes de mayo.

Authors Various - Homenaje a Tolkien, 19 relatos fantásticos - Language: Spanish, Short Stories - Format: ePub
En el alud de literatura fantástica post-tolkieniana, destacan algunos autores que escribieron el tipo de relatos que habrían agradado al mismo Tolkien. Escritores como Andre Norton, la reina de las novelas de aventuras (More) fantásticas, Robert Silverberg, un narrador lleno de energía, o Peter Beagle, cuya deuda con Tolkien es evidente en su obra de no ficción y en sus esplendidas pero escasas —demasiado escasas— novelas. A ellos, y a cada uno de los otros magníficos autores que figuran en este libro (Terry Pratchett, Harry Turtledove, Dennis L. McKiernan, etc.), se les pidió que escribieran un relato en homenaje a Tolkien. Un regalo para celebrar el centenario de su nacimiento, que también deleitará a los muchos lectores de El señor de los anillos.
Authors Various - I tragici greci: Eschilo, Sofocle, Euripide - Language: Italian, Complete Works of - Format: ePub
Altissima espressione poetica, nonché specchio degli sviluppi politici della polis ateniese nell’epoca classica, la tragedia greca è giunta fino a noi attraverso i secoli mantenendo inalterato il fascino archetipico che ne (More) costituisce l’impronta originaria. Nella rielaborazione drammatica del mito rivivono le convinzioni del singolo poeta ma anche l’eco delle discussioni e della vita civile e morale di un popolo. Così i personaggi di Eschilo non sono più semplici mortali in balia di forze cieche e oscure, ma uomini e donne coscienti e responsabili delle proprie scelte, vittime e colpevoli insieme (basti pensare a Clitennestra), spesso stupendamente delineati nella loro profondità emotiva. Sofocle rispecchia nelle sue opere l’ideale di sereno equilibrio che permeava la cultura greca in quegli anni. Eppure, nelle sue tragedie la lucida consapevolezza dell’infelicità umana, unita al sentimento della dignità insita in ogni sofferenza, e l’analisi razionale coesistono con la percezione di pulsioni insondabili cui soggiace il destino degli uomini (si pensi a Antigone o Elettra o Èdipo). Profondo conoscitore dell’animo umano, Euripide ha creato indimenticabili figure tragiche, da Alcesti a Medea, a Oreste, scegliendo i suoi argomenti tra i miti meno noti e soffermandosi su aspetti secondari dei grandi cicli epici ed eroici. Le sue opere hanno influenzato attraverso i secoli il teatro di tutti i tempi: da quello romano a quello rinascimentale e barocco, dai romantici a D’Annunzio, fino ai giorni nostri.

Oltre che tragediografo fu attore e musicista. Partecipò alle guerre persiane e soggiornò più volte in Sicilia dove, alla corte di Ierone di Siracusa, entrò in contatto con i circoli pitagorici. Si tramandano i titoli di 73 opere a lui attribuite, ma di queste solo sette tragedie sono giunte fino a noi. Euripide nacque a Salamina nel 480 a.C.. La maggior parte delle notizie che ci sono giunte su di lui proviene dalle parodie dei commediografi e non sono perciò molto attendibili. Sappiamo che da ragazzo fu torciere all'ara d'Apollo, che ebbe tre figli, e che morì a Pella nel 406. Non sappiamo con certezza quante opere abbia scritto. Ci restano comunque 17 tragedie certamente sue, una, Reso, considerata spuria, e il dramma satiresco Il Ciclope. Sofocle nacque ad Atene, nel demo urbano di Colono, nel 497 a.C.. Di famiglia molto ricca, ricevette un’educazione raffinata. Fu grande amico di Pericle e partecipò alla vita pubblica ateniese con cariche importanti. Morì vecchissimo, nel 406 a.C.. Delle circa 130 tragedie che scrisse ne rimangono soltanto sette, oltre a 400 versi del dramma satiresco I segugi.
Authors Various - The New Testament - Language: English, Spiritual - Format: ePub
The New Testament, as usually received in the Christian Churches, is made up of twenty-seven different books attributed to eight different authors, six of whom are numbered among the Apostles (Matthew, John, Paul, James, Peter, (More) Jude) and two among their immediate disciples (Mark, Luke). The New Testament was not written all at once. The books that compose it appeared one after another in the space of fifty years, i.e. in the second half of the first century. Written in different and distant countries and addressed to particular Churches, they took some time to spread throughout the whole of Christendom, and a much longer time to become accepted. The present edition is a new translation of Latin Vulgate using the Douay-Rheims as a guide. Catholic Public Domain Version, Original Edition. Ronald L. Conte Jr., translator and editor.
