Описание: Maqroll the Gaviero (the Lookout) is one of the most alluring and memorable characters in the fiction of the last twenty-five years. His extravagant and hopeless undertakings, his brushes with the law and scrapes with death, and his enduring friendships and unlooked-for love affairs make him a Don Quixote for our day, driven from one place to another by a restless and irregular quest for the absolute. lvaro Mutis's seven dazzling chronicles of the adventures and misadventures of Maqroll have won him numerous honors and a passionately devoted readership throughout the world. Here for the first time in English all these wonderful stories appear in a single volume in Edith Grossman's prize-winning translation.
Описание: Specifically, this proceedings book summarizes new and previously unrelated developments in modern condensed matter physics, in particular: the interface of condensed matter theory and quantum information theory;
Описание: The Portuguese New State (Estado Novo), a dictatorship regime based on a corporatist ideology, built up an ambitious maritime policy. Making the nation go back to the sea served to promote economic self-sufficiency and to recover the past golden age of oceanic navigation. Both fed positively into the regimes propaganda arguments. Rebuilding a Blue Nation offers an overview on the remarkable features of these modern age maritime policies: sardine and cod fisheries, merchant fleets and colonial routes, shipping and ports. Describing the form of the national maritime economy, and how the New State ideology drove its programmes until the 1970s, reveals insights into the institutional structure of the regime and its political elites discourse. Under the banner of national sovereign policies, research into the economic branches of Antonio de Oliveira Salazars authoritarian regime provides hitherto unavailable data on fish landings, shipping and navy expenditure. Topics include: shipping and trade port policies; cod and sardine fishing, and the ecosystem; maritime sports and oceanic leisure; and merchant fleets and colonial routes. Addressing the impact of external and multilateral regulations on these autarkic national economic institutions shows up the inner workings of the regime. The connection between the Portuguese corporatist system and the national maritime economy is an exemplar for better understanding the New States ideology as historians continue to debate the economic and social impact of the 40-year dictatorship. Rebuilding a Blue Nation moves the argument away from rural and colonial viewpoints to provide a unique avenue of historical assessment.

Описание: The journal of Ignatz Himmelsputz, survivor, dwarf and entertainer, written in 1974, when he lived in Frankfurt with Giselle, a transvestite singer and Vietnam War survivor. The narration flashes back to Nazi Germany and an SS officer who persecuted Ignatz. A compelling story of man`s inhumanity to man and the liberating elation of forgiveness.

Описание: Eating Shakespeare provides a constructive critical analysis of the issue of Shakespeare and globalization and revisits understandings of interculturalism, otherness, hybridity and cultural (in)authenticity. Featuring scholarly essays as well as interviews and conversation pieces with creatives – including Geraldo Carneiro, Fernando Yamamoto, Diana Henderson, Mark Thornton Burnett, Samir Bhamra, Tajpal Rathore, Samran Rathore and Paul Heritage – it offers a timely and fruitful discourse between global Shakespearean theory and practice.
The volume uniquely establishes and implements a conceptual model inspired by non-European thought, thereby confronting a central concern in the field of Global Shakespeare: the issue of Europe operating as a geographical and cultural ‘centre’ that still dominates the study of Shakespearean translations and adaptations from a ‘periphery’ of world-wide localities. With its origins in 20th-century Brazilian modernism, the concept of ‘Cultural Anthropophagy’ is advanced by the authors as an original methodology within the field currently understood as ‘Global Shakespeare’. Through a broad range of examples drawn from theatre, film and education, and from both within Brazil and beyond, the volume offers illuminating perspectives on what Global Shakespeare may mean today.
