La tragedia de una mujer vendida por sus padres a un rico empresario repercute como eco en las vidas de varias generaciones que presencian el paso de la historia desde principios y hasta finales del siglo XX. En sus cartas, hacen referencia a un pueblo perdido en la montaña, cuyas gélidas paredes de piedra ocultan secretos familiares, intrigas políticas y peligro mortal. Pero si le preguntas a cualquiera de ellos sobre lo que pasó ahí, se limitarán a decir: "¡No hay para tanto!" "Una excelente novela de intriga, pero también un ciclorama sobre el que se proyectan una serie de personajes y situaciones típicas de la sociedad rural –el cacique, el cura, el juez, el rechazo a los forasteros, los odios seculares entre familias...– y una panorámica sobre los hechos que han caracterizado el siglo XX en nuestro país." Joan Josep Isern "Noventa años de nuestro país en una novela orgánica, viva, donde todos los elementos encajan como en un reloj de hora exacta." Andreu Martín "¡No hay para tanto!, una novela que no podéis dejar de leer: corta, intensa y diferente. Por su tratamiento epistolar, por las distintas voces que la habitan, por la intriga tan bien conducida y por su originalidad... ¡Buena lectura!" Gemma Lienas "Conocí bien a Bartomeu Cruells y compartí con él actividades de la lucha clandestina contra la dictadura y ahora descubro su talento literario para, novelando un crimen, hacer un repaso de noventa años de nuestra historia más reciente."Xavier Vinader Tags: misterio, novella histórica

Octavio Paz: Ontology and Surrealism discusses poet Octavio Paz (1914–1998), one of Mexico´s most controversial intellectuals. Over several decades, Paz has been celebrated for his impact on literature and culture as a poet as well as an essayist, and he is recognized as a great thinker and as a student of German ontology and phenomenology. Roberto Sanchez Benitez analyzes in detail Paz’s training within the European philosophical thinking of the twentieth century, as well as in the artistic avant-garde, to illustrate the way in which philosophical, anthropological, linguistic, sociological, literary, and artistic proposals enriched his work and Mexican culture during the post-revolutionary period. Sanchez Benitez posits that Paz moved from a phenomenological ontology to a historicism of the human condition, wherein morality, politics, and the arts all reside in an ideological context where dogmatisms where impose in the face of a lack of internal criticism. This book explores the themes of the poetic act that Paz associated with his ontological and surrealist readings, leading up to when they were transformed by his experience in India and the assimilation of Eastern philosophies, along with going through a set of Western proposals relating to love, eroticism, and art. Scholars of literature, philosophy, Latin American Studies, and history will find this book particularly useful.

There is growing recognition and understanding of music’s fundamentally spatial natures, with significances of space found both in the immediacy of musical practices and in connection to broader identities and ideas around music. Whereas previous publications have looked at connections between music and space through singular lenses (such as how they are linked to ethnic identities or how musical images of a city are constructed), this book sets out to explore intersections between multiple scales and kinds of musical spaces. It complements the investigation of broader power structures and place-based identities by a detailed focus on the moments of music-making and musical environments, revealing the mutual shaping of these levels. The book overcomes a Eurocentric focus on a typically narrow range of musics (especially European and North American classical and popular forms) with case studies on a diverse set of genres and global contexts, inspiring a range of ethnographic, text-based, historical, and practice-based approaches.

In the last couple of decades there has been a surge of interest in Octavio Paz's life and work, and a number of important books have been published on Paz. However, most of these books are of a biographical nature, or they examine Paz's role in the various intellectual initiatives he headed in Mexico, specifically the journals he founded. Reality in Movement looks at a wide range of topics of interest in Paz's career, including his engagement with the subversive, adversary strain in Western culture; his meditations on questions of cultural identity and intercultural contact; his dialogue with both leftist and conservative ideological traditions; his interest in feminism and psychoanalysis, and his theory of poetry. It concludes with a chapter on Octavio Paz as a literary character—a kind of reception study. Offering a complex and nuanced portrait of Paz as a writer and thinker—as well as an understanding of the era in which he lived—Reality in Movement will appeal to students of Octavio Paz and of Mexican literature more generally, and to readers with an interest in the many significant literary, cultural, political, and historical topics Paz wrote about over the course of his long career.
