El valor literario del Lázaro de 1555

This book offers the first panoramic study on the development and characteristics of the literary-journalistic genre of spectator periodicals in Hispanic America and Brazil. After contextualizing these publications within the emancipation processes of 19th-century American Enlightenment, it explores the new coexistence modes and esthetics they disseminated.

Ofelia and Amoke appear to be complete opposites. The only things they have in common are an elderly, eccentric author named Virginia Wonnacott, the Hiraeth Association, and the feeling that something is missing from their lives. When Virginia offers Ofelia a job as her personal assistant, the lives of the two girls merge. Through conversations, used books, letters, and early morning Whatsapp messages, the girls discover a future they did not think existed as well as their feelings toward one another.

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.

En las emotivas páginas de esta obra, Ian Gibson traza un certero recorrido por las vidas de cuatro magníficos poetas de nuestro tiempo: Federico García Lorca, Antonio Machado, Miguel Hernández y Juan Ramón Jiménez, en un estudio estremecedor sobre la lealtad a la causa republicana de cuatro de las mejores voces poéticas de la España del siglo XX, represaliada con la muerte en el exilio, el fusilamiento sin juicio y la muerte en la cárcel.
