DOWNLOAD EBOOKEl deporte más peligroso no es el fútbol americano. Es volar una cometa. El mapa del mundo es impreciso. Los silenciadores no existen. Todos pronuncian "Monte Everest" incorrectamente. El Viejo Oeste no era nada como lo imaginamos. Los Illuminati existieron durante solamente ocho años. Los satanistas no adoran a Satanás. A Abraham Lincoln no le importaba la gente de color. Amelia Earhart no desapareció misteriosamente. Egipto no tiene no la mayor cantidad de pirámides ni la más grande. La radiación no es peligrosa. No sabemos nada de los druidas. Las Cataratas del Niágara no son las más altas cascadas. Las Islas Canarias no se llaman así por los canarios. No todos los piratas eran criminales. Algunos de ellos eran agentes del gobierno. Los Rastafari no se llaman a sí mismos "Rastafari". El sol no está ardiendo. Los amish (menonitas) sí usan electricidad.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKLa presente antología -publicada ya en Alianza Editorial con el título El espíritu del agua- reúne treinta y dos cuentos tradicionales japoneses entre los cuales el lector encontrará, entre muchos otros, algunos tan inolvidables como el del pescador Urashima, el de la mujer de la nieve o el del gato vampiro de Nabeshima. Se descubren en ellos algunos de los temas clásicos del imaginario propio del país del Sol Naciente. Dado su carácter insular, es casi una constante resaltar su relación con el mar y con los animales, reales y ficticios, vinculados a este medio. También con los zorros y con los tejones, con los que siempre convivieron los japoneses, pero a los que nunca pudieron domesticar. Y, por supuesto, el fuego, lo fantástico, el mundo del más allá, las mujeres celestiales... y los finales tristes y melancólicos, debidos en parte a un ancestral culto estético hacia la belleza que perece, hacia lo que no es eterno.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKEl intrigante retrato de una familia japonesa en trance y de una mujer que encuentra su centro creativo entre dos mundos separados por la cultura y el idioma. A veinte años del exilio familiar de Japón a Estados Unidos, Nanae llama por teléfono a Minae para recordárselo, y así un torbellino de recuerdos y reflexiones envuelve a las hermanas tal como el temporal de nieve que arrecia en esa noche cercana a fin de año: las rígidas costumbres japonesas frente a las engañosas libertades norteamericanas; las dificultades para encontrar un lugar en el mundo; el conflicto con la lengua materna; los sacrificios que implica la creación; la soledad inherente a todo exilio y el dilema desgarrador de volver o no a la tierra natal. Con su prosa sobria, inteligente y a la vez íntima, Mizumura nos acerca a su mundo y al hacerlo nos ofrece un reflejo de las condiciones de nuestro presente, signado por el movimiento y la negación del pasado.
Folk Legends from Tono

DOWNLOAD EBOOKBoldly illustrated and superbly translated, Folk Legends from Tono captures the spirit of Japanese peasant culture undergoing rapid transformation into the modern era. This is the first time these 299 tales have been published in English. Morse’s insightful interpretation of the tales, his rich cultural annotations, and the evocative original illustrations make this book unforgettable. In 2008, a companion volume of 118 tales was published by Rowman & Littlefield as the The Legends of Tono. Taken together, these two books have the same content (417 tales) as the Japanese language book Tono monogatari. Reminiscent of Japanese woodblocks, the ink illustrations commissioned for the Folk Legends from Tono, mirror the imagery that Japanese villagers envisioned as they listened to a storyteller recite the tales.The stories capture the extraordinary experiences of real people in a singular folk community. The tales read like fiction but touch the core of human emotion and social psychology. Thus, the reader is taken on a magical tour through the psychic landscape of the Japanese “spirit world” that was a part of its oral folk tradition for hundreds of years. All of this is made possible by the translator’s insightful interpretation of the tales, his sensitive cultural annotations, and the visual charm of the book’s illustrations. The cast of characters is rich and varied, as we encounter yokai monsters, shape-shifting foxes, witches, grave robbers, ghosts, heavenly princesses, roaming priests, shamans, quasi-human mountain spirits, murderers, and much more.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"This short literary and folklore classic, which has captivated Japan for a century, provides a powerful glimpse into the Japanese psyche and spirit. In 1910, when Kunio Yanagita (1875-1962) wrote and published The Legends of Tono, he had no idea that one hundred years later his book would still have such a significant impact. Now this new and expanded translation, retaining the original's great understanding of Japanese language, history, and lore, will make this literary classic available to new generations of readers. Yanagita is best remembered as the founder of Japanese folklore studies, and Ronald A. Morse, the translator, transcends time to bring the reader a guide to Tono, Yanagita, and these enthralling tales."--BOOK JACKET.
Spanish Books in the Europe of the Enlightenment (Paris and London)

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn Spanish Books in the Europe of the Enlightenment (Paris and London) Nicolás Bas examines the image of Spain in eighteenth-century Europe, and in Paris and London in particular. His material has been scoured from an exhaustive interrogation of the records of the book trade. He refers to booksellers’ catalogues, private collections, auctions, and other sources of information in order to reconstruct the country’s cultural image. Rarely have these sources been searched for Spanish books, and never have they been as exhaustively exploited as they are in Bas’ book. Both England and France were conversant with some very negative ideas about Spain. The Black Legend, dating back to the sixteenth century, condemned Spain as repressive and priest-ridden. Bas shows however, that an alternative, more sympathetic, vision ran parallel with these negative views. His bibliographical approach brings to light the Spanish books that were bought, sold and ultimately read. The impression thus obtained is likely to help us understand not only Spain’s past, but also something of its present.
