The Strife of Tongues

Descripción del libro

Fray Luis de Len (1527-91) is known chiefly as the author of some of the finest poetry of the Spanish Golden Age, but he also wrote important prose works in both Latin and Spanish, and produced eloquent translations into Spanish of biblical and classical texts. He spent five years imprisoned in solitary confinement by the Spanish Inquisition, fighting to clear himself of a series of accusations against his views on the Bible. Acquitted on all counts, he returned to teach at the University of Salamanca. This book examines the controversies in which Fray Luis was caught up, and investigates the complex influences upon his writings of his prison experiences, his indebtedness to Judaism, his interests as a linguist, and his work as a biblical scholar and theologian. Colin Thompson looks afresh at Fray Luis's most famous poems and prose works, and explores his understanding of language as a means of enabling God to speak to humanity and humanity to rise to God.

Dans le vaste domaine ainsi délimité, on retrouve naturellement les principaux axes du champ d'études de l'hispaniste à qui l'ouvrage est dédié : la comedia nueva et l'œuvre de Cervantès. L'unité du livre ne repose pas seulement sur ces ...

Lengua y discurso

En esta obra se recogen un total de 82 trabajos, con los que sus autores han deseado testimoniar el reconocimiento al profesor Lamíquiz y la labor por él realizada a lo largo de su ya dilatado magisterio.La mayoría de las colaboraciones aquí recogidas se ocupan de cuestiones lingüísticas relativas a la lengua española. Y si bien los temas particulares y los enfoques ofrecen un variado muestrario de los intereses y perspectivas de la ciencia del lenguaje en este final de siglo, se observa un neto predominio de lo que fue una constante en los planteamientos del homenajeado: la...

Caín

If in The Gospel According to Jesus Christ, Jose Saramago presented us with his vision of the New Testament, in Cain he comes back to the first books of the Bible. An unorthodox itinerary takes him to decadent cities and stables, palaces of tyrants and battlefields, led by the hand of the central characters of the Old Testament, with the music and refined humor that are the hallmark of his work. Cain clearly demonstrates the modern and surprising aspects of Saramago s prose: the ability to weave a completely new tale out of a story we all know. An ironic and satirical journey where the reader ...
