This book was released on 2021-05-13 with total page 1217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Las tres colecciones de artículos sobre cine de Guillermo Cabrera Infante en un estuche que se disfruta como una función. Director de la cinemateca de Cuba y crítico de cine en su juventud, guionista de Hollywood en su madurez, Guillermo Cabrera Infante fue un apasionado cinéfilo toda su vida.El presente estuche reúne sus tres colecciones de ensayos sobre el tema: Un oficio del siglo xx, Arcadia todas las noches y Cine o sardina. En ellas brillan su espíritu lúdico y la fina ironía, que nos ayudan a comprender el sentido, el contexto y la factura del séptimo arte. De texto en texto y de mirada en mirada, Cabrera Infante repasa la obra de Orson Welles, Alfred Hitchcock, Howard Hawks, John Huston o Vincente Minnelli, así como una plétora de películas clásicas y modernas. Si el cine es el protagonista indiscutible, el crítico-escritor no deja de darle la réplica. Del diálogo entre la pantalla y la palabra surgen textos que no solo aportan una valiosa información, sino que se disfrutan como verdaderas funciones. Sobre el autor y la obra: «Para los que estudiábamos cine, Un oficio del siglo XX era un libro de cabecera.» Fernando Trueba «Ha convertido la crítica cinematográfica en un género literario gracias a su riqueza verbal y a su imaginación.» Mario Vargas Llosa «Cabrera Infante es casi una enciclopedia del cine hollywoodense.» Jacobo Machover, Revista de Libros

Download or read book Bilingual Games written by D. Sommer and published by Springer. This book was released on 2003-11-21 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These essays bring home the most challenging observations of postmodernism-multiple identities, the fragility of meaning, the risks of communication. Sommer asserts that many people normally live-that is, think, feel, create, reason, persuade, laugh-in more than one language. She claims that traditional scholarship (aesthetics; language and philosophy; psychoanalysis, and politics) cannot see or hear more than one language at a time. The goal of these essays is to create a new field: bilingual arts & aesthetics which examine the aesthetic product produced by bilingual diasporic communities. The focus of this volume is the Americas, but examples and theoretical proposals come from Europe as well. In both areas, the issue offers another level of complexity to the migrant and cosmopolitan character of local societies in a global economy.

Book Synopsis New York Ricans from the Hip Hop Zone by : R. Rivera
Download or read book New York Ricans from the Hip Hop Zone written by R. Rivera and published by Springer. This book was released on 2003-02-07 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Puerto Ricans have been an integral part of hip hop culture since day one: from 1970s pioneers like Rock Steady Crew's Jo-Jo, to recent rap mega-stars Big Punisher (R.I.P.) and Angie Martinez. Yet, Puerto Rican participation and contributions to hip hop have often been downplayed and even completely ignored. And when their presence has been acknowledged, it has frequently been misinterpreted as a defection from Puerto Rican culture and identity, into the African American camp. But nothing could be further from the truth. Through hip hop, Puerto Ricans have simply stretched the boundaries of Puerto Ricanness and latinidad.

Book Synopsis Descartes's Secret Notebook by : Amir D. Aczel
Download or read book Descartes's Secret Notebook written by Amir D. Aczel and published by Crown. This book was released on 2006-10-10 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: René Descartes (1596–1650) is one of the towering and central figures in Western philosophy and mathematics. His apothegm “Cogito, ergo sum” marked the birth of the mind-body problem, while his creation of so-called Cartesian coordinates have made our physical and intellectual conquest of physical space possible. But Descartes had a mysterious and mystical side, as well. Almost certainly a member of the occult brotherhood of the Rosicrucians, he kept a secret notebook, now lost, most of which was written in code. After Descartes’s death, Gottfried Leibniz, inventor of calculus and one of the greatest mathematicians in history, moved to Paris in search of this notebook—and eventually found it in the possession of Claude Clerselier, a friend of Descartes. Leibniz called on Clerselier and was allowed to copy only a couple of pages—which, though written in code, he amazingly deciphered there on the spot. Leibniz’s hastily scribbled notes are all we have today of Descartes’s notebook, which has disappeared. Why did Descartes keep a secret notebook, and what were its contents? The answers to these questions lead Amir Aczel and the reader on an exciting, swashbuckling journey, and offer a fascinating look at one of the great figures of Western culture.
Download or read book Chromos written by Felipe Alfau and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chromos is one of the true masterpieces of post-World War II fiction. Written in the 1940s but left unpublished until 1990, it anticipated the fictional inventiveness of the writers who were to come along - Barth, Coover, Pynchon, Sorrentino, and Gaddis. Chromos is the American immigration novel par excellence. Its opening line is: "The moment one learns English, complications set in." Or, as the novel illustrates, the moment one comes to America, the complications set in. The cast of characters in this book are immigrants from Spain who have one leg in Spanish culture and the other in the confusing, warped, unfriendly New World of New York City, attempting to meld two worlds that just won't fit together. Wildly comic, Chromos is also strangely apocalyptic, moving towards point zero and utter darkness.
Book Synopsis The Two Mrs. Abbotts by : D.E. Stevenson
Download or read book The Two Mrs. Abbotts written by D.E. Stevenson and published by Sourcebooks, Inc.. This book was released on 2014-01-07 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From beloved English author D.E. Stevenson who has sold more than 7 million books worldwide! The final charming installment in the life of nosy writer, Miss Buncle. Nothing goes unnoticed around Miss Buncle, even if she has to recruit more eyes. Much as changed in Wandlebury since Barbara Buncle (now Barbara Abbott) first moved to the charming English village. If nothing else, World War II is keeping things interesting. But as the mistress of her own home with two small children to look after, Barbara finds that she has distressingly little time to keep up with the goings-on of her friends and neighbors. Luckily, Barbara's niece, Jerry Abbott, is more than willing to keep tabs on the news in Wandlebury. And with juicy tidbits of gossip about everything from inconvenient romantic entanglements to German spies hiding in the woods, there is plenty to keep the two Mrs. Abbotts busy in this hilarious account of life in World War II England. With the wit and charm of a Jane Austen novel and the gossipy, small-town delight of the Flavia de Luce series, D.E. Stevenson delivers another cozy gem with The Two Mrs. Abbotts, the third and final book of the beloved Miss Buncle series.
Book Synopsis Dominations and Powers by : George Santayana
Download or read book Dominations and Powers written by George Santayana and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-12-02 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In what must be ranked as a foremost classic of twentieth-century political philosophy, George Santayana, in the preface to his last major work prior to his death, makes plain the limits as well as the aims of Dominations and Powers: ""All that it professes to contain is glimpses of tragedy and comedy played unawares by governments; and a continual intuitive reduction of political maxims and institutions to the intimate spiritual fruits that they are capable of bearing.""This astonishing volume shows how the potential beauty latent in all sorts of worldly artifacts and events are rooted in differing forms of power and dominion. The work is divided into three major parts: the generative order of society, which covers growth in the jungle, economic arts, and the liberal arts; the militant order of society, which examines factions and enterprise; and the rational order of society, which contains one of the most sustained critiques of democratic systems and liberal ideologies extant.Written at a midpoint in the century, but at the close of his career, Santayana's volume offers an ominous account of the weakness of the West and its similarities in substance, if not always in form, with totalitarian systems of the East. Few analyses of concepts, such as government by the people, the price of peace and the suppression of warfare, the nature of elites and limits of egalitarianism, and the nature of authority in free societies, are more comprehensive or compelling. This is a carefully rendered statement on tasks of leadership for free societies that take on added meaning after the fall of communism.The author of a definitive biography of Santayana, John McCormick provides the sort of deep background that makes possible an assessment of Dominations and Powers. He permits us to better appreciate the place of this work at the start no less than conclusion of Santayana's long career. For the author of The Life of Reason himself ad"
