Molina, Tirso deEl burlador de Sevilla
Language: Spanish, Theater Play – Format: ePub

Atribuido a Tirso de Molina y datado en torno a 1630, El Burlador de Sevilla, pese a todas las polémicas y controversias, tiene el honor de ser el primer hito en la fecunda y fascinante vida de un mito universal: Don Juan. En este (More) drama fundacional se encuentran los tres rasgos que caracterizan la estructura donjuanesca: el héroe transgresor, el grupo femenino y la muerte; invariantes míticas que serán desarrolladas, transformadas o subvertidas, siguiendo cauces de las más diversas poéticas, por su larga y copiosa descendencia. Este héroe mítico, nacido en el corazón del Barroco español y mecido por los aires de la Contrarreforma, contiene, aunque todavía en germen, todos los sentidos que irá adquiriendo con el tiempo: el rebelde social, el seductor, el hombre enfrentado a Dios y su esencial e inevitable encuentro con lo sobrenatural, con la muerte.

The Arbinger InstituteThe Anatomy of Peace
Language: English, Self-Help – Format: ePub

From the authors of Leadership and Self-Deception (over 2 million copies sold) comes a new edition of this bestseller that has been thoroughly revised to more effectively address the diversity, equity, and inclusion challenges (More) that plague our communities and hinder our organizations.What if conflicts at home, at work, and in the world stem from the same root cause? What if we systematically misunderstand that cause? And what if, as a result, we unwittingly perpetuate the very problems we think we are trying to solve? The Anatomy of Peace uses a fictional story of an Arab and a Jew—both of whom lost their fathers at the hands of the other’s cousins—to powerfully show readers the way to transform conflict. We learn how they come together, how they help parents and children come together, and how we too can find our way out of the personal, professional, and social conflicts that weigh us down. The fourth edition includes revisions and new materials and resources that increase its relevance and usefulness at a time of deeply entrenched divisions throughout society. Additionally, it includes new detailed discussions of the pattern of dehumanization that lies at the heart of today’s most pressing struggles with prejudice and discrimination—challenges that cannot be solved until the origins of bias and discrimination are properly understood and addressed. The new edition is a unique and vital resource for combatting racism and prejudice in their many manifestations.

Borges, Jorge LuisEl oro de los tigres
Language: Spanish, Poetry – Format: ePub

El título de este volumen une el drama personal, las entrevisiones del color amarillo de la ceguera, al tigre emblemático que cruza toda la obra de Jorge Luis Borges. Esa combinación entre vida y literatura está acompañada por (More) algunas innovaciones en su arte poética. El uso de formas orientales, los Tankas, y un tratamiento menos elusivo en los poemas de amor, como en el magnífico “El amenazado”, les otorgan a los versos un singular peso emotivo. Sus virtudes descansan en las enumeraciones y accidentes verbales y en la serena precisión para comunicar experiencias íntimas: el paso del tiempo, las vacilaciones, la esperanza, las lecturas, la ausencia de una voz deseada, la memoria y el olvido, los sueños, el cambiante rostro en los espejos.
El oro de los tigres, colección de poemas y textos breves en prosa escritos entre 1969 y 1972, es uno de los libros más delicados y directos de Borges

De Arteaga, AlmudenaLa estela de un recuerdo
Language: Spanish, Novel – Format: ePub

En un tiempo convulso, dos jóvenes vivieron una historia de amor imposible, emocionante y dramática.
Esta es una bella historia de amor que arranca el 14 de abril de 1931 y termina al inicio de la guerra civil. La familia del (More) duque del Infantado está en el punto de mira de todos los republicanos pero no dejan de luchar por el regreso del rey Alfonso XIII a España. Los disturbios en el Círculo Monárquico, la quema de conventos, el alzamiento de Sanjurjo, el primer voto de la mujer y la constante inestabilidad política quedan dibujados desde la perspectiva de una de las familias nobiliarias más tradicionales. El patriotismo y la entrega de Borja, su hijo más joven, y el amor que siente por Rafaela quedan reflejados en las dos cartas de despedida que escribe antes de morir y que una sobrina nieta suya descubre sesenta años más tarde.

Machado, AntonioPoesías completas
Language: Spanish, Poetry – Format: ePub

Poesías completas recoge toda la trayectoria poética de Antonio Machado: el inicial modernismo intimista de Soledades, Galerías y otros poemas se aprecia en composiciones dedicadas al amor, al paso del tiempo, la soledad, la (More) infancia perdida, los sueños… y también en el uso de símbolos (la tarde, el camino, el otoño, la fuente…). El subjetivismo de la etapa anterior se verá sustituido por el interés hacia el hombre y el mundo circundante de Campos de Castilla, entroncando así con la Generación de 98, a través de temas como el paisaje castellano y sus gentes, el problema de España y la revisión melancólica de la historia. El siguiente poemario de Machado, Nuevas canciones, no es ya una obra unitaria: reúne elementos distintos temáticamente y distantes en el tiempo: se trata, en general, de composiciones breves, a veces descriptivas, a veces sentenciosas y de un aire más popular. Después, Machado ya no editará ningún poemario, aunque publicará algunas poesías sueltas en revistas e incluirá diversos poemas en su obra en prosa.
