Moderato Cantabile Marguerite Duras Tusquets, London, United Kingdom, 1966

¿Por qué el grito repentino de una desconocida y la vista de su cuerpo ensangrentado han turbado tanto a Anne Desbaresdes, que es joven y rica, y no tiene otro afecto que el de su hijo? ¿Por qué vuelve insistentemente al café del puerto, anodino escenario del crimen? ¿Por qué interroga a un desconocido, testigo él también del asesinato? El vino que bebe lentamente es el pretexto que lleva a ir siempre más adelante en su investigación y a hablar ella misma siempre más. En realidad, ¿qué busca? ¿El deseo que mató a la otra y del que ella carece? ¿La misma muerte en manos del desconcido que la desea, él sí, sin reparo alguno? En esas lánguidas tardes de estío, inundadas por la cálida luz del sol poniente y los olores agridulces del mar y las magnolias. Anne Desbaresdes se acerca paulatinamente a la clave del enigma.

Edna, the inebriate woman Jeremy Sandford Marion Boyars Publishers Ltd, 2012;1976

Edna the Inebriate Woman was written when Jeremy Sandford, whose documentary Cathy Come Home had focused public attention on the plight of homeless families, decided to study the equally grave problems faced by Britain's thousands of single homeless people. The author follows Edna on her continuous journey through town and country and shows us at first hand the shortcomings and sheer absurdities of a society whose response to Edna's predicament is insensitive, inappropriate and expensive. Sandford's own anger and impatience with our reluctance to help those who wander through the twilight world at the bottom of society is infectious.

Mathias, a timorous, ineffectual traveling salesman, returns to the island of his birth after a long absence. Two days later, a thirteen-year-old girl is found drowned and mutilated. With eerie precision, Robbe-Grillet puts us at the scene of the crime and takes us inside Mathias's mind, artfully enlisting us as detective hot on the trail of a homocidal maniac. A triumphant display of the techniques of the 'new novel,' The Voyeur achieves the impossible feat of keeping us utterly engrossed in the mystery of the child's murder while systematically raising doubts about whether it really occurred

zlib/no-category/Peter Schrag/Mind Control_125651310.pdf

Mind Control Peter Schrag Marion Boyars Publishers Ltd, New Ed, 1980

In the past generation, there has been a fundamental shift in the way government and other organizations control the lives and behavior of individuals. No single method and no single phrase adequately describe it—it is both too subtle and too pervasive—but it represents a radical change in the way people are treated and in the relationship between the citizen, his employer, the state, and the state's institutions. In general, it is a shift from direct to indirect methods of control, from the punitive to the therapeutic, from the moralistic to the mechanistic, from the hortatory to the manipulative. More specifically, it is reflected in the replacement of overt and sometimes crude techniques—threat, punishment, or incarceration—with relatively "smooth" methods: psychotropic drugs; Skinnerian behavior modification; aversive conditioning; electronic surveillance; and the collection, processing, and use of personal information to institutionalize people outside the walls of institutions. Those technologies, all developed or introduced during the past twenty-five years, have made it possible to extend intervention—much of it well intentioned—to millions of people who had never been subject to intervention before. They have made it possible to change the nature of that intervention so that instead of dealing with a specific act—the breaking of a law or a rule in school or a social convention—they deal with generalized behavior and a growing list of reified pseudo-medical abstractions: "aggressiveness," "maladjustment," "personality disorder," "mental illness." In many situations, these technologies have made it possible to convert the official rationale for that intervention from the protection of the state and community to individual therapy or "service" designed ostensibly to benefit the individual. Although they are professedly more humane and less capricious than what they replace or supplement, they are far more intrusive into the life, thought, feelings, and...

The Early Reception of Paul the Second Temple Jew Text, Narrative and Reception History Katherine Mansfield Richmond, Surrey, United Kingdom: Alma Classics, an imprint of Alma Books Ltd, Richmond, Surrey, United Kingdom, 2018

Ron Haflidson places the theology of Augustine in conversation with contemporary authors, who warn of the dangers of abandoning solitude for constant (often technological) connection. Haflidson addresses an essential question that has previously been neglected: What difference does it make to the practice of solitude if one believes that even in the absence of any human company, God is always intimately present? For Augustine, solitude is a moral necessity: he recommends that we regularly retreat from the crowd into the depths of our conscience, where we can dwell alone in the company of God, and enter into dialogue before and with God about who we are and how we love. Throughout this book, Haflidson pairs close readings of Augustine with those of noted cartographers of our inner lives, literary greats including Jane Austen, George Eliot, Marilynne Robinson and George Saunders. This book explores what undiscovered possibilities may lie in solitude.

lgli/EuropeAftertheRain9780714549712.epub

Europe After the Rain Alan Burns Calder Publications, Richmond, United Kingdom, 2019

Europe after the Rain takes its title from Max Ernst's surrealist work, which depicts a vision of rampant destruction - a theme which Burns here takes to its conclusion, showing man not merely trying to come to terms with desolation, but combating human cruelty with that resilience of spirit without which survival would be impossible. The Europe through which the unnamed narrator travels is a devastated world, twisted and misshapen, both geographically and morally, and he is forced to witness terrible sights, to which he brings an interested apathy, without ever succumbing to despair or cynicism. Upon the novel's first publication, Burns was heralded as presenting a picture of his age and capturing the 'collective unconscious' of the twentieth century - in a language that can have few rivals for economy, beauty and rhythm. His austere sentences glow with intelligence, colour and force, and evoke a powerful image for the modern reader of fears every bit as relevant today as on the day when they were written.

The first complete study of one of the most important and controversial musicians of our time, Stuckenschmidt's book discusses all Schoenberg's works, some of them in great detail; it demonstrates Schoenberg's relationship to his forerunners, contemporaries and successors not only in music and the other arts, but also in connection with his social and psychological background.Many biographical details are revealed for the first time in this book; there had previously been no authoritative account of the last thirty years of Schoenberg's life. This book is thus both a biography of unique interest and a critical study.

lgli/The_Blind_Owl_and_Other_Stories_by_Hedayat,_Sadegh_(_).mobi

The blind owl : and other stories Sadegh Hedayat Alma Books Ltd., Alma Books, London, 2017

Written in Persian, The Blind Owl is predominantly a love story – an unconventional love story that elicits visions and nightmare reveries from the depths of the reader's subconscious. A young man, an old man and a beautiful young girl perform, as if framed within a Persian miniature, a ritual of destruction as gradually the narrator, and the reader, discover the meaning hidden within the dreams. This unforgettable story contains a unique blend of the mystery of the Arabian Nights and an acutely contemporary sense of panic and hallucination. The Blind Owl was written during the oppressive latter years of Reza Shah's rule (1925–41). It was originally published in a limited edition in Bombay, during Hedayat's year-long stay there in 1937, stamped with “Not for sale or publication in Iran”. It first appeared in Tehran in 1941 (as a serial in the daily Iran), after Erza Shah's abdication, and had an immediate and forceful effect.”

The erasers ; translated by Richard Howard Alain Robbe-Grillet Calder Publications Ltd, London, 1966

Alain Robbe-Grillet is internationally hailed as the chief spokesman for the noveau roman and one of the great novelists of the twentieth century. The Erasers, his first novel, reads like a detective story but is primarily concerned with weaving and then probing a complete mixture of fact and fantasy. The narrative spans the twenty-four-hour period following a series of eight murders in eight days, presumably the work of a terrorist group. After the ninth murder, the investigation is turned over to a police agent, who may in fact be the assassin. Both an engrossing mystery and a sinister deconstruction of reality, The Erasers intrigues and unnerves with equal force as it pull us along to its ominous conclusion.

Agnes Grey Anne Brontë Alma Classics, Jul 17, 2018

In her Introduction to an edition of "Agnes Grey," Barbara A. Suess writes "Bronte provides a portrait of the governess that is as sympathetic as her fictional indictment of the shallow, selfish moneyed class is biting." Anne Bronte relies on her own personal involvement in her duties as a home teacher to bring Agnes Grey to life. Agnes, a rector's daughter, must take employment as a governess to help her family make financial ends meet. But her situations with the spoiled, self-obsessed Bloomfield children and later with the ruthless Murray family forces her into a lonely, humiliating experience that is a wearying one extraordinarily blossoming into a romantic relationship with the local vicar, Edward Weston. Agnes' concern for her family brings her to these unfortunate trials where she suffers stupid and egotistic proprietors and their over-indulged progeny. She was not able to foresee the hardships she would have to undergo along with the class snobbery to which she was also subjected. And yet a career as a governess was the only "respectable" job available to an unmarried woman in Victorian England. Bronte's simple and uncomplicated rendition of these sordid affairs made circumstances surrounding such brutish conditions authentic enough to necessitate investigation and improvement.

The blind owl : and other stories Hedayat, Sadegh Calder Publications, Alma Books, London, 2017

Following a disjointed, vision-like structure, The Blind Owl is the nightmarish exploration of the psyche of a madman. The narrator is an ailing, solitary misanthrope who suffers from hallucinations, and his dreamlike tale is layered, circular, driven by its own demented logic, and punctuated with macabre and surreal episodes such as the discovery of a mutilated corpse, and a bizarre competition in which two men are locked in a dungeon-like room with a cobra. Initially banned in the author's native Iran, the novel first appeared in Tehran in 1941 and became a bestseller. Full of powerful symbolism and terrifying imagery, this dark novella is Hedayat's masterpiece.words : 80328Number of Formats : 0Title Length : 031Title Parm F : The Blind Owl and Other StoriesTitle Parm D : The Blind Owl and Other StoriesRecord ID : TEMPLATE ERROR Value: unknown field idNum of Aut : 1Has Cover : TEMPLATE ERROR Interpreter: Internal error evaluating an expression: 'Metadata object has no attribute named: 'has_cover'' - line number 1Single Author : Hedayat, SadeghTitle Parm B : (Title Parm A : The Blind Owl and Other StoriesUncomma Author : Sadegh HedayatSorted Author by LN, FN: Hedayat, SadeghNumber of Words in Auth: 2

The Sunday of Life Raymond Queneau; B Wright Riverrun Pr, 1952

The Sunday of Life, the late Raymond Queneau's tenth novel, was first published in French by Gallimard in 1951 and is now appearing for the first time in this country. In the ingenuous ex-Private Valentin Bru, the central figure in The Sunday of Life, Queneau has created that oddity in modern fiction, the Hegelian naif. Highly self-conscious yet reasonably satisfied with his lot, imbued with the good humor inherent in the naturally wise, Valentin meets the painful nonsense of life's adventures with a slightly bewildered detachment.

Die Zauberflöte Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus, John, Nicholas; Geliot, Michael; Besch, Anthony London : Alma Books, Alma Books, [N.p.], 2011

1 online resource (131 pages), With his last opera Mozart created a piece of theatre which defies categorization. In theory it is a Singspiel, a mixture of songs and dialogue, in which the spectacular effects and comedy fit naturally: they appeal today as much as they did when it first opened in a popular Viennese theatre two hundred years ago. Rodney Milnes recalls some of the other pieces playing at the time, such as Kaspar the Bassonist, or The Magic Zither. On the other hand, it belongs to a tradition of Enlightenment texts in which a young prince, destined to be a ruler, learns from his adventures how to behave wisely, Print version record, Introduction; Synopsis; 'Singspiel' and Symbolism; A Vision of Reconciliation; A Public for Mozart's Last Opera; Thematic Guide; Die Zauberflöte/The Magic Flute Libretto; Act 1; Act 2; Discography; Bibliography
