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.

Literatura y política

In the past decades, with the decline of the Grand Narratives and the subsequent need for new historical and political orientation, literary studies have been reflecting on the role of literature in the world. Together with Jacques Rancière—and in dialogue with Althusser, Foucault, or Fischer-Lichte—the present volume analyzes this political turn of literary studies.

Pequeño Gran Hombre

Pequeño Gran Hombre (1964) es una memoria ficticia, una narración de aventuras con toques de humor, una novela con mucho de histórica y de homenaje a la vez al viejo Oeste norteamericano. Un desocupado coleccionista y aficionado a las antigüedades indias tiene oportunidad de entrevistar a un irascible anciano de más de ciento diez años, el viejo Jack Crabb, superviviente de la batalla de Little Big Horn, aquella en la que sioux, cheyennes y otros aliados hicieron picadillo a Custer y a parte de su séptimo de caballería. Pero Jack Crabb no sólo fue el único superviviente de aquella...

Lewis Carroll

The titles included in this exceptional series gather the masterworks of some of world literature's most celebrated names. Painstaking translations from the original English, German, Greek, and Russian preserve the essence of these classics for a Spanish-speaking audience, and the books themselves are elegantly and impeccably bound, as befits the contents. Whether drama, fiction, or philosophy, these magnum opera provide windows into social and historical contexts considerably different to the present day. From the classic novels Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass...
