Book Synopsis La huella de Cervantes y del Quijote en la cultura anglosajona by : María José Crespo Allué
Download or read book La huella de Cervantes y del Quijote en la cultura anglosajona written by María José Crespo Allué. This book was released on 2007. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recoge, en un estudio pionero, la influencia que la obra de Cervantes ha tenido y tiene sobre la literatura y la cultura anglosajona en su conjunto. Esta influencia ha impregnado todos los movimientos literarios y ha tenido una evidente repercusión en el desarrollo de la novela en las Islas Británicas y al otro lado del Atlántico. La colaboración de especialistas de diferentes ámbitos académicos (literatura, traducción, cine, música, etc.), y de procedencias dispares (España, Reino Unido y Estados Unidos) confiere un marcado carácter interdisciplinar a esta obra, que abarca todos los elementos que la obra de Don Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra aportó al mundo anglosajón, sobre todo a traves de dos arquetipos inmortales: Don Quijote y Sancho Panza.La obra se divide en cinco grandes bloques temáticos, en los que se presenta de forma detallada la evolución que ha experimentado la influencia del 'Quijote', y de otras obras como 'La Gitanilla', 'El Curioso Impertinente' o 'Viaje del Parnaso', en el teatro, la poesía y la novela, así como en otras disciplinas como son la traducción, el cine y la música.

Book Synopsis Infidel Kings and Unholy Warriors by : Brian A. Catlos
Download or read book Infidel Kings and Unholy Warriors written by Brian A. Catlos. This book was released on 2014-08-26. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An in-depth portrait of the Crusades-era Mediterranean world, and a new understanding of the forces that shaped it In Infidel Kings and Unholy Warriors, the award-winning scholar Brian Catlos puts us on the ground in the Mediterranean world of 1050–1200. We experience the sights and sounds of the region just as enlightened Islamic empires and primitive Christendom began to contest it. We learn about the siege tactics, theological disputes, and poetry of this enthralling time. And we see that people of different faiths coexisted far more frequently than we are commonly told. Catlos's meticulous reconstruction of the era allows him to stunningly overturn our most basic assumption about it: that it was defined by religious extremism. He brings to light many figures who were accepted as rulers by their ostensible foes. Samuel B. Naghrilla, a self-proclaimed Jewish messiah, became the force behind Muslim Granada. Bahram Pahlavuni, an Armenian Christian, wielded power in an Islamic caliphate. And Philip of Mahdia, a Muslim eunuch, rose to admiral in the service of Roger II, the Christian "King of Africa." What their lives reveal is that, then as now, politics were driven by a mix of self-interest, personality, and ideology. Catlos draws a similar lesson from his stirring chapters on the early Crusades, arguing that the notions of crusade and jihad were not causes of war but justifications. He imparts a crucial insight: the violence of the past cannot be blamed primarily on religion.
