Book excerpt: Un vampiro y una bruja crearon una nueva raza de inmortales mezclando su sangre en un poderoso brebaje que otorgaba la inmortalidad y todos los poderes de ambas razas en un solo ser, son tan poderosos que amenazan la seguridad del mandato sobre el universo, por eso intentan destruirlos, pero es tarde, los gansmos son demasiado poderosos para vencerlos sin ayuda. Tesa es una joven humana, o eso piensa ella, que de pronto se ve involucrada en una guerra que no le importa, en un mundo que jamás pensó que existía y en un amor por el que está dispuesta a darlo todo y a hacerlo absolutamente todo, sin restricciones. Alex pensaba que ya no tenía oportunidad de ser feliz, de amar, de enamorase, pero cuando le envían a proteger a la futura gansma que será tan poderosa como él, se encuentra con la mujer que el destino eligió para él. Las guerras pon el control del universo son feroces, las batallas por llevarse a Tesa sanguinarias, pero de que sirven las guerras, las batallas sangrientas si el único modo de conseguir a la que todos quieren es conquistando su corazón, y ese ya pertenece a Alejandro Maxgrim.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: «El comandante Amberson había hecho una fortuna en 1873, cuando otra gente estaba perdiendo la suya, y ahí empezó la magnificencia de los Amberson». Así empieza Los magníficos Amberson, la obra maestra y segunda entrega de su aclamada trilogía Growth, que ha sido llevada al cine y a la televisión en numerosas ocasiones. La familia Amberson es la más poderosas y rica del lugar y el joven George Amberson Minafer, nieto del patriarca, es terriblemente consentido por su madre Isabel. Arrogante hasta la indecencia, seguro de su posición y valor y totalmente ignorante de los sentimientos de los demás, George se enamora en un baile de Lucy Morgan, una joven hermosa, pero también sensible e inteligente. A medida que el pueblo se convierte en una ciudad industrial, la riqueza de los Amberson mengua y crece la de los Morgan gracias al ingenio del padre de Lucy, George se enterará inevitablemente de la vieja historia de amor entre su madre y el padre de ella. Para salvar el buen nombre de su familia George decide interponerse entre ellos. Su ataque a Morgan significará renunciar a Lucy para siempre y, lo que es aún peor, la destrucción de su mundo. La historia tiene lugar en un ficticio Indianapolis y describe el crecimiento de los Estados Unidos a través del ascenso y declive de la familia Amberson durante tres generaciones, entre el final de la Guerra Civil y la primera parte del siglo XX, un período de industrialización creciente que produjo numerosos cambios en la sociedad y economía americana. El declive de los Ambersons contrasta con las nuevas fortunas de los grandes industriales y otras familias acaudaladas, cuyo poder no surge de su apellido sino de su actividad.

Download or read book Don Quixote and Catholicism written by Michael McGrath and published by Purdue University Press. This book was released on 2020-08-15 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Four hundred years since its publication, Miguel de Cervantes’s Don Quixote continues to inspire and to challenge its readers. The universal and timeless appeal of the novel, however, has distanced its hero from its author and its author from his own life and the time in which he lived. The discussion of the novel’s Catholic identity, therefore, is based on a reading that returns Cervantes’s hero to Cervantes’s text and Cervantes to the events that most shaped his life. The authors and texts McGrath cites, as well as his arguments and interpretations, are mediated by his religious sensibility. Consequently, he proposes that his study represents one way of interpreting Don Quixote and acts as a complement to other approaches. It is McGrath’s assertion that the religiosity and spirituality of Cervantes’s masterpiece illustrate that Don Quixote is inseparable from the teachings of Catholic orthodoxy. Furthermore, he argues that Cervantes’s spirituality is as diverse as early modern Catholicism. McGrath does not believe that the novel is primarily a religious or even a serious text, and he considers his arguments through the lens of Cervantine irony, satire, and multiperspectivism. As a Roman Catholic who is a Hispanist, McGrath proposes to reclaim Cervantes’s Catholicity from the interpretive tradition that ascribes a predominantly Erasmian reading of the novel. When the totality of biographical and sociohistorical events and influences that shaped Cervantes’s religiosity are considered, the result is a new appreciation of the novel’s moral didactic and spiritual orientation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: LA ESCALERA QUE TE LLEVARÁ DE REGRESO AL HOGAR Agustin Garcia Muñiz Hacia el año 2000, cuando se suponía que todo apuntaba para el fin del mundo y su humanidad por quinta ocasión, algo inesperado pasó que dejó en suspenso todos esos planes, para sorpresa de muchos y disgusto de algunos. Este cambio de planes se debió a importantes decisiones tomadas por las partes superiores de los seres humanos, quienes están a cargo de este planeta. Tal decisión consistió en optar por continuar por el camino de la evolución, antes que por el de la autodestrucción. Esto significa que esta humanidad ha decidido iniciar su proceso de ascension, junto con el del planeta Tierra. A partir de la cancelación de las catastróficas profecías, llegó la nueva energía al planeta, y con ella el cambio individual se volvió una prioridad, aunque no por ello obligatorio. Sin embargo, por diferencia de vibraciones, quienes no logren elevar suficientemente la suya, preferirían abandonar el planeta para posteriormente regresar en calidad de índigos, con lo que aceptar el cambio les será mucho más fácil. Muchas almas que han estado aquí en calidad de observadores, simplemente se irán para no volver pues su trabajo ha terminado. Para todo aquellos seres que se quedarán a apoyar el proceso de la ascension, les hemos preparado esta magnífica herramienta que hemos llamado la escalera, con la cual podrán ascender tan rápido como se lo propongan, en el menor tiempo posible. Cuando te decidas a subirla, con intención pura, te darás cuenta que al fin el rompecabezas de tu vida se empieza a armar, y una vez que la hayas subido, tendrás la sensación de haber llegado a descansar a tu dulce hogar luego de una ardua jornada. Por ahora yo me encuentro muy ocupado subiéndola, y te invito a que te abandones al cambio, y hagas lo mismo. ¡Tu vida jamás será la misma!

This book was released on 1996 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While many professional translators believe the ability to translate is a gift that one either has or does not have, Allison Beeby Lonsdale questions this view. In her innovative book, Beeby Lonsdale demonstrates how teachers can guide their students by showing them how insights from communication theory, discourse analysis, pragmatics, and semiotics can illuminate the translation process. Using Spanish to English translation as her example, she presents the basic principles of translation through 29 teaching units, which are prefaced by objectives, tasks, and commentaries for the teacher, and through 48 task sheets, which show how to present the material to students. Published in English.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Philosophical realism has taken a number of different forms, each applied to different topics and set against different forms of idealism and subjectivism. Maurizio Ferraris's Manifesto of New Realism takes aim at postmodernism and hermeneutics, arguing against their emphasis on reality as constructed and interpreted. While acknowledging the value of these criticisms of traditional, dogmatic realism, Ferraris insists that the insights of postmodernism have reached a dead end. Calling for the discipline to turn its focus back to truth and the external world, Ferraris's manifesto—which sparked lively debate in Italy and beyond—offers a wiser realism with social and political relevance.

Download or read book Papyrus written by Irene Vallejo and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2022-10-18 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A rich exploration of the importance of books and libraries in the ancient world that highlights how humanity’s obsession with the printed word has echoed throughout the ages • “Accessible and entertaining.” —The Wall Street Journal Long before books were mass-produced, scrolls hand copied on reeds pulled from the Nile were the treasures of the ancient world. Emperors and Pharaohs were so determined to possess them that they dispatched emissaries to the edges of earth to bring them back. When Mark Antony wanted to impress Cleopatra, he knew that gold and priceless jewels would mean nothing to her. So, what did her give her? Books for her library—two hundred thousand, in fact. The long and eventful history of the written word shows that books have always been and will always be a precious—and precarious—vehicle for civilization. Papyrus is the story of the book’s journey from oral tradition to scrolls to codices, and how that transition laid the very foundation of Western culture. Award-winning author Irene Vallejo evokes the great mosaic of literature in the ancient world from Greece’s itinerant bards to Rome’s multimillionaire philosophers, from opportunistic forgers to cruel teachers, erudite librarians to defiant women, all the while illuminating how ancient ideas about education, censorship, authority, and identity still resonate today. Crucially, Vallejo also draws connections to our own time, from the library in war-torn Sarajevo to Oxford’s underground labyrinth, underscoring how words have persisted as our most valuable creations. Through nimble interpretations of the classics, playful and moving anecdotes about her own encounters with the written word, and fascinating stories from history, Vallejo weaves a marvelous tapestry of Western culture’s foundations and identifies the humanist values that helped make us who we are today. At its heart a spirited love letter to language itself, Papyrus takes readers on a journey across the centuries to discover how a simple reed grown along the banks of the Nile would give birth to a rich and cherished culture.
