Francisco de Rojas Zorrilla y Augustín Moreto

Descripción del libro

An elucidation in Spanish of the dramatic intentions and accomplishments of the two best imitators of the inspired craftsmanship of Pedro Calderón de la Barca, this is the first monograph to be published on Rojas Zorilla and Moreto for at least two decades. Following an introductory section, in which she discusses and compares the differing attitudes and methods of the two dramatists, the author concentrates on their respective achievements in the genres which they practiced with enthusiasm and ability. Among the comedies and serious secular plays selected for analysis are not only their most celebrated works, but also numerous plays previously overlooked or undervalued. These lesser-known works are revealed to be worthy of scholarly attention and are also discovered to illuminate hitherto rarely perceived or appreciated aspects of their creators' dramatic art. Moreto is shown to have, besides his famous aptitude for comedy, considerable abilities for treating serious or tragic themes, conflicts and characters. In addition to his celebrated preference and capacity for dramatizing sensationalist subjects and for creating abnormal, even pathological protagonists, Rojas Zorilla is observed to have other less obvious talents – for exploiting without fuss the best resources and techniques of drama and the stage; and for creating with imaginative restraint characters that are convincingly normal and humanly limited in the directions of their thoughts, the ranges of their emotions and the extremes of their conduct.

New drugs, saints with beatified roosters, murderers of one night and of one life, communards with "machetes" and teachers surrounding the foreigner murdered in Oaxaca, a town of kidnappers and three missing towns, the television that presents circus phenomena, the fantasies of the national porn, the corpses of too...

La crisis en 100 apuntes (Libros para entender la crisis)

La historia de la crisis económica a través de los artículos de Ignacio Escolar Este libro es un pequeño diario de una enorme catástrofe: desde el asombro con el que descubrimos el agujero estadounidense de las subprime hasta el tsunami que nos barrió después y que ha desembocado en el incendio del euro, una crisis que aún no hemos logrado apagar, y donde los derechos de los trabajadores y el Estado del bienestar son lo primero en arder.
