Una edición crítica imprescindible, a cargo de Paloma Díaz-Mas.El Romancero constituye la manifestación más importante y longeva de la poesía popular en lengua castellana. Nacidos en la Edad Media para ser cantados y compartidos por la colectividad, que los conservaba en la memoria y los transmitia de viva voz, generacion tras generacion, los romances han pervivido casi hasta nuestros dias, sometidos a lo largo de los siglos a una constante y fertil reelaboracion. Su caracteristica estructura metrica y su enfasis enunciativo aglutinan piezas de una diversidad poco menos que inagotable: episodios heroicos y caballerescos, lances y trances de amor, historias de inspiracion biblica y clasica, asuntos dominados por la maravilla o el misterio, noticias veridicas de un tiempo ya lejano.Toda esta variedad y riqueza, todos los ciclos, temas y registros del Romancero estan representados con generosidad en la presente seleccion para la Biblioteca clasica de la RAE, orquestada, minuciosamente comentada y anotada por Paloma Diaz-Mas, la maxima especialista en la materia. El nucleo del volumen esta formado por los romances documentados hasta mediados del siglo XVI, pero no faltan algunos de los que se han conservado en la tradicion oral moderna (a menudo panhispanica) y que presentan indicios seguros de un origen medieval.

This book is a landmark. [and] lets us see Heaneys work, whose ripples we are still learning to navigate, for the colossal achievement it is, and it reminds us that Heaney is not only a keeper but an enricher of the word-hoard. Philip Terry, GuardianThis is the long-awaited, definitive edition of Seamus Heaneys poetry. It encompasses all the poems Heaney published in his lifetime as well as the small number that appeared after his death: twelve single volumes, from Death of a Naturalist (1966) to Human Chain (2010), and those poems published in pamphlets, journals and magazines or with limited circulation. In addition, the book includes a selection of unpublished material chosen by the poets family.It is a body of work that, in its entirety, resounds with the lyrical beauty and ethical depth cited by the Nobel committee: poems which exalt everyday miracles and the living past.Critical introductions to each collection and notes that illuminate the history and development of the poems make this the essential volume for admirers of Heaneys work.Heaneys voice, by turns mythological and journalistic, rural and sophisticated, reminiscent and impatient, stern and yielding, curt and expansive, is one of a suppleness almost equal to consciousness itself. Helen VendlerMore than any other poet since Wordsworth he can make us understand that the outside world is not outside, but what we are made of. John CareyHis is "closeup" poetry - close up to thought, to the world, to the emotions. Few writers at work today, in verse or fiction, can give the sense of rich, fecund, lived life that Heaney does. John BanvilleThese poems find - in the dowsers gift and the childs perception of the world - images of the marvellous that are also wonderfully grounded. . . Heaney is a poet who deserves to be read in entirety. Jamie McKendrickFor Heaney, there were marvels enough in this world, and never mind the next. Ordinary objects and places - a sofa, a wireless, a satchel, a gust of wind, the sound of rain - were sanctified. Blake Morrison

Everyday life always offers a variety of colorful and gray to black experiences, which usually have some kind of influence on life and are thus reflected in these stories and poems. And because life is so infinitely diverse, the whole thing is called "Allerlei" (All Sorts).I owe my lines to the diversity of life, my inspirations and ideas, which were simply given to me along with the ability to write poetry.These lines are intended to bring a smile, joy, and laughter to the faces of some of my contemporaries, while also giving them something to think about and perhaps even prompting them to rethink things.

Exemplary for the suffering, but also the joys, of the people who lived there, as well as their historical significance, individual places repeatedly emerge from the veil of history, bearing witness to the eventful destinies of some of humanitys greatest empires.

Mucho más que un autor de ciencia ficción, Ray Bradbury (1920–2012) es uno de los grandes narradores del siglo xx. Maestro absoluto del relato, su obra ha influido en generaciones de escritores y cin

The two engage in intense, empathetic conversations about life before and, above all, after death. When the father asks his son to go with him to the moorland where Carls novel about the destruction of the environment is set, they embark on a journey that ultimately leads them to the realm of the dead: a parallel world full of contradictions and devoid of logic.

In the end, he does not return to his old life right away, but spends several years in the Middle Ages...

La obra que el lector tiene en sus manos, para muchos la creación más trascendente de Eunice Odio, combina la deslumbrante belleza de la forma con una densidad simbólica aquilatada por su vasto intertexto. Como Roland Barthes dice acerca del texto de goce, esta obra obliga al lector a levantar la cabeza con frecuencia, como quien esta a punto de desentrañar algo que siempre esta mas alla.A fin de acompañar al lector en la aventura que propone El transito, hemos incluido en esta edicion dos aportaciones que pueden resultarle de utilidad. La primera es de Peggy von Mayer, quien, a modo de portico, brinda un panorama sobre la figura de nuestra poeta, que abrazo la poesia como un destino implacable, mision de amor hacia la humanidad con la que necesita compartir la revelacion de la sacralidad del universo. En segundo termino y a modo de colofon, el lector encontrara una sustancial mirada en el trabajo de Graciela S. Tomassini, quien propone que la naturaleza simbolica de El transito, abierta a plurales dimensiones de sentido, ofrece multiples posibilidades de construccion tematica.

Jordi Esteva recorre los antiguos puertos de Arabia y de la costa africana del Índico en busca de la memoria de los marinos y mercaderes árabes que, con sus veleros impulsados por los monzones, comerciaban con especias, sedas, marfil, piedras preciosas y tambien esclavos, siguiendo rutas que apenas han variado desde los tiempos de Simbad. A la manera de los viajeros de antaño, obtiene cartas de presentacion que lo llevan, de nahoda en nahoda, los capitanes de los veleros arabes, a gozar de la hospitalidad de veteranos navegantes. De Oman a Zanzibar, pasando por los puertos de Yemen, Lamu o Mombasa, reconstruye a traves de sus voces la memoria de otro tiempo, hecha de experiencias vitales, leyendas, naufragios y relatos que resisten al olvido. Un viaje de descubrimiento personal que entrelaza el diario de ruta, las reflexiones intimas del autor y una valiosa documentacion historica con las fascinantes historias orales de los ultimos marinos del oceano Indico. Una obra escrita con la voluntad de rescatar los rescoldos de un mundo apenas desaparecido, porque, como dice el autor: "Por mas que todo cambie, aun permanece la memoria".
