PAPERBACK, very good, page 5 dog-eared, looks unread after that. EAGLETON, TERRY. Why Marx Was Right. New Haven: Yale University Press, 2018, second edition, xvi, 258pp., . In this book, the author takes issue with the prejudice that Marxism is dead and done with. Taking ten of the most common objections to Marxism, that it leads to political tyranny, that it reduces everything to the economic, that it is a form of historical determinism, and so on, he demonstrates in each case what a woeful travesty of Marx's own thought these assumptions are. In a world in which capitalism has been shaken to its roots by some major crises, this book is as urgent and timely as it is brave and candid. Written with wit, humor, and clarity.

1st edition. Fine cloth copy in an equally fine dust wrapper, now mylar-sleeved. Particularly well-preserved overall; tight, bright, clean and strong. Physical description: xii, 355 pages; 24 cm. Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index. Summary: When James Joyce called the Irish 'the most belated race in Europe', he stated a complex truth about the history of his people and the nation they had been creating since the eighteenth century. The Irish would, in Joyce's lifetime, write many of the masterpieces of modernism in English, while at the same time forging a nation-state in many ways still backward-looking and traditionalist. This paradox of Irish history is one of the many topics addressed in Terry Eagleton's latest book. Heathcliff and the Great Hunger reads Irish culture from Swift and Burke to Yeats and Joyce in the light of the torturous, often tragic socio-political history that conditioned it. Eagleton opens with a brilliant conjugation of Wuthering Heights in the context of the famine in Ireland, highlighting the Irish connections of the Bronte family. He follows with a powerful analysis of the Protestant Ascendancy's failure to achieve hegemony in Ireland; a dissection of the paradoxes of the Act of Union; a detailed account, spanning fiction from Swift and Maria Edgeworth, through Lady Morgan, Mauturin, Le Fanu and Stoker, to George Moore, of why the realist novel never flourished in Ireland; and a pointed consideration of the two great Irish exiles, Oscar Wilde and George Bernard Shaw. The book also looks at the radical culture of Ulster and the cultural politics of nineteenth-century Ireland. -- Publisher description.

Softcover. Condition: New. 4a.ed. 18x11 cm. Colección Teorema. Serie menor. 270 p., Rústica. Sprache: Spanisch, NUEVO / NEU / NEW. El interés por Walter Benjamin ha aumentado en los últimos años. Sin embargo, sólo hay un relativo conocimiento para resolver el enigma de su obra. Este libro no intenta alcanzar la sistematicidad o la valoración sumaria que han eludido hacer algunos comentaristas, sino que es más bien una obra sobre el espíritu de Benjamin, una reflexión desde distintas perspectivas sobre el autor y sobre el significado revolucionario de sus escritos hoy en día. La primera parte explora tres temas centrales en Benjamin: la alegoría barroca, la cultura como producto de primera necesidad y la revolución como intervención mesiánica en la historia. La segunda parte considera los problemas y las posibilidades de la crítica revolucionaria: desde el feminismo contemporáneo a la política de la deconstrucción, desde la herencia revolucionaria de Leon Trostki a las inversiones del carnaval.
