Escribiendo por el mundo

Noelia Truffa

En 2016, durante un viaje en solitario por el sudeste de Asia, arriba de un colectivo destartalado en el norte de Tailandia y rodeada de monjes budistas vestidos con túnicas anaranjadas, Noe lo vio muy claro: supo que quería dedicar sus días a viajar y escribir, y ya no hubo vuelta atrás. El 1.º de enero de 2019, después de años de soñarlo y planificarlo, ese sueño se convirtió en realidad y, acompañada de Omar, su pareja, transformó el viaje en su nuevo estilo de vida. Escribiendo por el mundo reúne los relatos de las vivencias de los primeros dos años de esa vida nómada en la que Noe y Omar recorrieron doce países de Europa, África y Asia. Es una mezcla entre crónica de viaje y diario íntimo. Por un lado, el viaje exterior, que incluye lugares, experiencias, mares, olores, montañas, fronteras, sabores y más. Por otro, el viaje interior, que recopila todas las decisiones, aprendizajes, trabas burocráticas y oportunidades que llevaron a Noe y Omar a tomar uno u otro camino, y van mucho más allá de los destinos en sí, convirtiendo a la comunión entre ambos en un viaje totalmente personal, único y subjetivo. A lo largo de las páginas de Escribiendo por el mundo, Noe invita al lector a tener una experiencia interactiva y a sumarse al viaje a través de recetas típicas de cada uno de los países que visitaron y consignas creativas para «poner manos a la obra».

Every Man out of His Humour

Ben Jonson

Every Man out of His Humour Ben Jonson – "Jonson's *Every Man Out of His Humour* is a comical satire about envy and aspiration among the ambitious middle classes, who seek happiness in fame and material fortune. This first critical edition of the play conveys early modern obsessions with wealth and self-display through historical contexts. The book offers an intriguing look at the course of urban comedy, and a wealth of information about social relationships and colloquial language at the end of the Elizabethan period.Ben Jonson's career began in 1597 when he held a fixed engagement in the «Admiral's Men», and although he was unsuccessful as an actor, his literary talent was apparent and he began writing original plays for the troupe. Jonson had a knack for absurdity and hypocrisy, a trait that made him immensely popular in the 17th century Renaissance period. It is known that Shakespeare's company produced several of Jonson's plays, Shakespeare himself appearing in «Every Man in His Humour» (1598). The play was Jonson's first major success, written in the style of «humour plays», a genre of comedy originated by George Chapman. In it, Jonson targets some of his favorite topics for satire: education, love, poetry, and social classes. As each major character represents a different issue, the play transforms into a depiction of everyday Renaissance life, and a scathing social commentary on the problems that plagued it.

The Love Books

Ovid

The Love Books Ovid – The Love Books of Ovid is a collection of four works of Roman poet Ovids verses on love in English prose translation. Ovid, born in 43 B.C., a contemporary of Virgil and Horace, lived during the reign of Augustus and is perhaps best remembered today for his work on Roman mythology entitled The Metamorphoses. This volume collects the poets following works: The Loves, The Art of Love, Loves Cure, and The Art of Beauty. Ovid was an innovator in the writing of love poetry in that he changed the focus of the poem from the poet to love itself and examined the effect of love on people. These works were considered controversial in their time and many scholars believe that Ovids The Art of Love was the cause of his life-long banishment by Augustus to a remote province on the Black Sea. Considered to be a master of the elegy form of poetry, which are poems of lamentation and mourning, and the last of the Latin love elegists, Ovid is faithfully represented here in this English prose translation. Students of classical literature and fans of romantic poetry will both delight in this volume of works by a poetic master. This edition is follows the translation of J. Lewis May.

Learning To Be American

Rubén Peinado Abarrio

Few contemporary novelists have analysed American culture with the detail that Richard Ford has done in his trilogy on Frank Bascombe: 'The Sportswriter', 'Independence Day' and 'The Lay of the Land'. A triptych on the idiosyncrasies of American society set out by one of the nation's most meticulous storytellers. This book ventures into uncharted territory, revealing how the uniquely American flavour of Frank Bascombe's novels also emerges from peculiar settings and marginal characters, who propose alternative models of identity. This work rediscovers the essence of Ford's major novelistic project, revealing it as an infinite source of insights for any reader interested in the people, myths, and narratives that construct the American self.
