Spanish playwright. Joaquín Dicenta began his studies in the school of the Piarists of Getafe, near Madrid. Anticlerical and adversary of the established social order, he lived a disordered bohemian existence. He began his literary activities with the publication of poems in Eden, a popular newspaper; later he extended his work to other newspapers.Author of sketches, short stories and novels today fallen into oblivion, he also wrote dramas in verse and prose and zarzuelas for theatre. The drama Juan José (1895), of socialist tone and founded on the existing differences between employers and workers, reached a great success; during many years it was the work more represented in Spain in the popular celebrations of the First of May, because of its net polemical atmosphere and related to the social struggle. The work was condemned by some Spanish bishops. Translated into several languages, it also made a great fortune in other countries.

Once, the name Macalister Hale was uttered in the boardroom with respect. Now, it’s whispered in disgrace at cocktail parties hosted by Boston’s elite. Scandal nearly destroyed me, but the one thing larger than my infamy is my bank account, and I’ve learned money can solve anything. Well—almost anything. Sophia Alby’s preferred currency is secrets and the way she trades information puts Wall Street to shame. This girl charges into my life and claims a partnership can restore my reputation. My downfall was swift, but with her, my climb to redemption will be greater. Our arrangement is professional. Appropriate. It has to be, because she’s half my age. But it doesn’t stop me from wanting . . . To move on. To control and indulge in her. To hear the name Macalister Hale echo in her breathy moans. But I can’t. Giving in to temptation led to my undoing before, and I won’t survive it a second time.

Two English-Language Translators of Jin Ping Mei examines English translations of the Ming novel Jin Ping Mei by translators from different historical periods within the Anglophone world. Drawing upon theoretical insights from translation studies, literary criticism, and cultural studies, the book explores the treatment of salient features of the novel in translation, including cultural representation, narratological elements, gender-specific motifs, and (homo)sexual themes. Through literary re-imagining and artistic re-creation, Egerton transforms a complex and sprawling narrative into a popular modern middlebrow novel, making it readily accessible within Western genres. Roy’s interlinear and annotated translation transcends the mere retelling of a vivid story for its unwavering emphasis on every single detail of the original, becoming a portal to the Ming past. It stands as a testament to the significance of translation as a medium for understanding the legacy of the late Ming and the socio-cultural dynamics shaping that period in Chinese history. This book will be a useful reference for scholars and research students within the fields of literary translation studies and translated Chinese literature, particularly Ming- Qing fiction. The book will also appeal to students and researchers studying Jin Ping Mei’s translation and reception in the West.

"In Nick McRae's splendid Mountain Redemption, the contradictions of family and faith are hard to hold in balance. They are the fulcrum of a teeter totter that tips back and forth between passion and violence. But as he meditates on growing up in Georgia and the complexities of the faith he was born into, the poet himself is balanced, thoughtful, judicious-and loving. As he struggles to sustain that love, McRae sometimes borrows the cadences-large, passionate, and elegiac-of the prophets he knows so well."-Andrew Hudgins Nick McRae is also the author of Moravia (Folded Word Press).
