Book excerpt: Una sátira provocativa sobre el ansia de notoriedad y un homenaje a los clásicos del género de terror en la línea de Los cuentos de Canterbury o Frankenstein. Un grupo de escritores acuden, tras leer un anuncio en la prensa, a un retiro para artistas donde supuestamente darán rienda suelta a su imaginación. Inmersos en un escenario aislado de las preocupaciones mundanas, los escritores llegan dispuestos a escribir su obra maestra. No obstante, la colonia de escritores resulta ser un lugar apartado del mundo, un viejo teatro abandonado, donde la comida, la electricidad y los suministros básicos son bienes escasos. En estas condiciones precarias, los protagonistas comenzarán a escribir historias terroríficas hasta llegar a un grado de maquinación diabólico, y alzarse ante la masa como héroes de una película documental. Reseñas: «La obra de ficción más original de este año. Definitivamente, su última novela no es para cobardes.» The Guardian «Si por algo es conocido Chuck Palahniukes por su deseo de conmocionar; con Fantasmas no podemos decir que haya cambiado de rumbo.» The Daily Telegraph

Download or read book A Companion to Javier Marías written by David K. Herzberger and published by Boydell & Brewer Ltd. This book was released on 2011 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A detailed and lively discussion and analysis of the novels, short stories, newspaper columns, and other works of one of the most important and popular writers in Spain today. This book provides the most comprehensive study to date of the full range of Marías' writing, including discussion and analysis of his literary and intellectual formation, his development as a novelist and short story writer, andhis unique perspective offered in nearly twenty-five years of newspaper columns on topics ranging from religion to football. Above all, Marías is examined as a writer of fictions. As a translator of several canonical works from English to Spanish, Marías came to appreciate the preciseness of words as well as their ambiguity, their capacity to represent as well as their propensity to distort. The author examines Marías's constant awareness of how languagecan be used to construct stories as the foundation for engaging the world as well as for imagining it. The nature of Marías's storytelling, and the way in which he imagines, form the principal focus of this Companion. David K. Herzberger is Professor and Chair of the Department of Hispanic Studies at the University of California, Riverside.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Novela que mezcla la literatura gótica con la aventura de carácter policíaco aunque no haya un detective protagonista, sino un misterio que descifrar, El fantasma de la Ópera (1910) es la historia de un tenebroso personaje, quien, a pesar del tormento que le provoca su fealdad, lucha por vivir para satisfacer su pasión por la belleza. En esta popular obra, llevada numerosas veces al cine y al escenario, Gaston Leroux (1868-1927) aprovechó numerosos recursos que le eran familiares por su condición de periodista para dar verosimilitud a un relato en el cual la combinación entre su intrigante protagonista y la ambientación dentro del mundo del teatro y las bambalinas despliega un atractivo juego de posibilidades para la imaginación.

Download or read book Myth and Subversion in the Contemporary Novel written by José Manuel Losada Goya and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2012-03-15 with total page 545 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This bilingual work identifies and explains the subversive rewriting of ancient, medieval and modern myths in contemporary novels. The book opens with two theoretical essays on the subject of subversive tendencies and myth reinvention in the contemporary novel. From there, it moves on to the analysis of essential texts. Firstly, classical myths in works by authors such as André Gide, Thomas Pynchon, Julio Cortázar, Italo Calvino or Christa Wolf (for instance, Theseus, Oedipus or Medea) are discussed. Then, myths of biblical origin – such as the Flood or the Golem – are revisited in the work of Giorgio Bassani, Julian Barnes and Cynthia Ozick. A further section is concerned with the place of modern myths (Faust, the ghost, Ophelia…) in the fiction of Günter Grass, Paul Auster, or Clara Janés. The contributors have also delved into the relationship between myth and art – especially in the discourse of contemporary advertising, painting and cinema – and myth’s intercultural dimensions: hybridity in the Latin American novels of Augusto Roa Bastos and Carlos Fuentes, and in the Hindu-themed novels of Bharati Mukherjee. This volume emerges from the careful selection of 37 essays out of over 200 which were put forward by outstanding scholars from 25 different countries for the Madrid International Conference on Myth and Subversion (March 2011). Este volumen bilingüe identifica y explica la práctica subversiva aplicada a los mitos antiguos, medievales y modernos en la novela contemporánea. Abren el libro dos estudios teóricos sobre la tendencia subversiva y la reinvención de mitos en la actualidad. Prosigue el análisis de diversos textos de primera importancia. En primer lugar se revisan los mitos clásicos en autores como André Gide, Thomas Pynchon, Julio Cortázar, Italo Calvino o Christa Wolf (p. ej., Teseo, Edipo, Medea). En segundo lugar, la reescritura de los mitos bíblicos según Giorgio Bassani, Julian Barnes o Cynthia Ozick (p. ej., el diluvio o el Golem). En tercer lugar, mitos modernos en la ficción de Günter Grass, Paul Auster o Clara Janés (p. ej., Fausto, el fantasma, Ofelia). El volumen presta igualmente atención a las relaciones entre mito y arte (su recurrencia en la publicidad, la pintura y el cine contemporáneos) y a la vertiente intercultural de los mitos: el mestizaje en la novela latinoamericana de Augusto Roa Bastos y Carlos Fuentes, o en la de temática hindú de Bharati Mukherjee. La compilación resulta de una exquisita selección de 37 textos entre los más de 200 propuestos para el Congreso Internacional Mito y Subversión (Madrid, marzo de 2011) por investigadores de prestigio procedentes de 25 países.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Struck by the contrast between the prestige of their literary tradition and their apparent philosophical insignificance, modern writers from Spain have devoted themselves to exploring the relation between literature and philosophy. This Side of Philosophy focuses on four major authors—Miguel de Unamuno, José Ortega y Gasset, Antonio Machado, and María Zambrano—who engage literary resources in order to reach beyond philosophy to the essential sources of life. Connecting their work to that of other European thinkers dedicated to illuminating the fertile interaction of literature and philosophy—especially Plato, Schlegel, Heidegger, and Derrida—Stephen Gingerich makes a case for the relevance of Spanish thought to contemporary efforts to expand the ethical and theoretical powers of thinking through literature. At the same time, Gingerich challenges the conventional view that contemporary Spanish thought fuses or reconciles literature and philosophy, instead discerning a call to appreciate their difference in relation. For these writers, literature and philosophy are repulsed by each other as inexorably as they are drawn together.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Espectros is a compilation of original scholarly studies that presents the first volume-length exploration of the spectral in literature, film, and photography of Latin America, Spain, and the Latino diaspora. In recent decades, scholarship in deconstructionist "hauntology," trauma studies, affect in image theory, and a renewed interest in the Gothic genre, has given rise to a Spectral Studies approach to the study of narrative. Haunting, the spectral, and the effects of the unseen, carry a special weight in contemporary Latin American and Spanish cultures (referred to in the book as “Transhispanic cultures”), due to the ominous legacy of authoritarian governments and civil wars, as well as the imposition of the unseen yet tangible effects of global economics and neoliberal policies. Ribas and Petersen’s detailed introductory analysis grounds haunting as a theoretical tool for literary and cultural criticism in the Transhispanic world, with an emphasis on the contemporary period from the end of the Cold War to the present. The chapters in this volume explore haunting from a diversity of perspectives, in particular engaging haunting as a manifestation of trauma, absence, and mourning. The editors carefully distinguish the collective, cultural dimension of historical trauma from the individual, psychological experience of the aftermath of a violent history, always taking into account unresolved social justice issues. The volume also addresses the association of the spectral photographic image with the concept of haunting because of the photograph’s ability to reveal a presence that is traditionally absent or has been excluded from hegemonic representations of society. The volume concludes with a series of studies that address the unseen effects and progressive deterioration of the social fabric as a result of a globalized economy and neoliberal policies, from the modernization of the nation-state to present.

Download or read book Between Eternities written by Javier Marías and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2018-08-28 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exhilarating collection of critical and personal writings—spanning more than twenty years of work—from the internationally renowned author of The Infatuations and A Heart So White. Javier Marías is a tireless examiner of the world around us: essayist, novelist, translator, voracious reader, enthusiastic debunker of pretension, and vigorous polymath. He is able to discover what many of us fail to notice or have never put into words, and he keeps looking long after most of us have turned away. This new collection of essays--by turns literary, philosophical, and autobiographical--journeys from the crumbling canals of Venice to the wide horizons of the Wild West, and Marías captures each new vista with razor-sharp acuity and wit. He explores, with characteristic relish, subjects ranging from soccer to classic cinema, from comic books and toy soldiers to mortality and memory, from "The Most Conceited of Cities" to "Why Almost No One Can Be Trusted," making each brilliantly and inimitably his own. Trenchant and wry, subversive and penetrating, Between Eternities is a collection of dazzling intellectual curiosity, offering a window into the expansive mind of the man so often said to be Spain's greatest living writer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Javier Marías has explained many times that working as a translator of literary works from English into Spanish helped shape him as a writer. This study explores those claims by analysing two things: firstly, his translations themselves; and secondly, seeing how those translations have left discernible traces in his own fiction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: «A pesar de la afición que he tenido toda la vida a los cuentos de fantasmas jamás se me ocurrió escribir ninguno hasta que fui a Massey College, facultad y residencia universitaria de la Universidad de Toronto, en 1963. Por Navidad celebrábamos siempre una fiesta a la que invitábamos a algunos amigos y era preciso dar algo de espectáculo. Abundaban las personas de talento, como poetas y músicos, pero se esperaba que yo hiciera también alguna aportación, y se me ocurrió que podía ser un relato de fantasmas, el primero del presente libro. Durante los dieciocho años que estuve en la residencia, todas las Navidades me pedían que escribiera un cuento, y aquí están, reunidos en un libro, con la esperanza de que los disfruten otros entusiastas de esta clase de literatura.» Así explicaba Robertson Davies en el prólogo a la primera edición de este libro, de 1982, la razón de ser del mismo. Los fantasmas de Dickens, la reina Victoria o Ibsen son algunos de los espíritus festivos que habitan un libro en el que la maestría de Davies se muestra en todo su esplendor. Unos fantasmas que el lector llegará a necesitar «como quien necesita un suplemento dietético, unas vitaminas para atajar una de las dolencias modernas más temibles: el raquitismo racional». «Davies es uno de esos narradores —de ahí que lo suyo suene tan vital y despierto— que producen la sensación de estar a nuestro lado, yendo apenas dos o tres líneas por delante, soltando risitas de placer anticipando lo que nos espera.»Rodrigo Fresán (ABC) «Davies es un mago cuya puesta en escena no tiene tramoya ni apela a la superstición; sus herramientas son la imaginación y la felicidad, ambas afinadas por lo que él mismo calificaba de “compromiso vitalicio con la compasión”.» Nadal Suau (El Cultural)

Download or read book Spanish Vampire Fiction since 1900 written by Abigail Lee Six and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-02-18 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spanish Vampire Fiction since 1900: Blood Relations, as that subtitle suggests, makes the case for considering Spanish vampire fiction an index of the complex relationship between intercultural phenomena and the specifics of a time, place, and author. Supernatural beings that drink blood are found in folklore worldwide, Spain included, and writers ranging from the most canonical to the most marginal have written vampire stories, Spanish ones included too. When they do, they choose between various strategies of characterization or blend different ones together. How much will they draw on conventions of the transnational corpus? Are their vampires to be local or foreign; alluring or repulsive; pitiable or pure evil, for instance? Decisions like these determine the messages texts carry and, when made by Spanish authors, may reveal aspects of their culture with striking candidness, perhaps because the fantasy premise seems to give the false sense of security that this is harmless escapism and, since metaphorical meaning is implicit, it is open to argument and, if necessary, denial. Part I gives a chronological text-by-text appreciation of all the texts included in this volume, many of them little known even to Hispanists and few if any to non-Spanish Gothic scholars. It also provides a plot summary and brief background on the author of each. These entries are free-standing and designed to be consulted for reference or read together to give a sense of the evolution of the paradigm since 1900. Part II considers the corpus comparatively, first with regard to its relationship to folklore and religion and then contagion and transmission. Spanish Vampire Fiction since 1900: Blood Relations will be of interest to Anglophone Gothic scholars who want to develop their knowledge of the Spanish dimension of the mode and to Hispanists who want to look at some canonical texts and authors from a new perspective but also gain an awareness of some interesting and decidedly non-canonical material.
