Paperback. Condition: New. The Vita Christi, written by the abbess Isabel de Villena, is the only literary work in Catalan to bear the signature of a woman during the Middle Ages. It represents a fascinating re-evaluation of the role women played inthe life of Jesus Christ.The Life of Christ (Vita Christi), written by the abbess Isabel de Villena, is the only literary work to have been preserved in Catalan and to bear the signature of a woman during the Middle Ages. It was composed to provide spiritual direction for the nuns within the community of Poor Clares which Sor (i.e. Sister) Isabel oversaw at the Convent of the Holy Trinity in Valencia. The work was only able to emerge from obscurity by accident. In 1497 Queen Isabel of Castile, the wife of Ferdinand of Catalonia-Aragon, who had heard news of the book's existence, asked Sor Isabel's successor for a copy. The new Abbess, Sor Aldonça, responded by bringing the work to press.Queen Isabel's interest in Sor Isabel's book was understandable. The former abbess had been the daughter of the refined and restless Marquess of Villena, and was herself educated at Court, a milieu with which she maintained very positive relations throughout her life. As an abbess, what's more, she carried out important reforms at the convent and became a valued and respected figure within the dynamic cultural world of the Valencia of her day. Isabelde Villena's Vita Christi has often been interpreted as a response, delivered from the serenity of the cloister, to the misogyny and satire against the female gender emanating from certain books written at that time. Sor Isabel's work is a re-evaluation of the role women played in the life of Jesus Christ, a role at variance with the subsidiary one ascribed to them by the majority of commentators.

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. La Areopagítica de John Milton, fue publicada en el momento histórico en que Inglaterra se disponía a completar el tránsito de los antiguos a los modernos. Impresa en 1644 sin licencia, ha sido considerada una obra sublime y paradigmática. Su autor, el poeta ciego de la revolución puritana, la escribiría en prosa como defensa de su propia causa. Prosa que suena lírica y de estructura compleja, ya que vaciló en arrostrar las consecuencias que, no se le ocultaba, iba a deparar su ilegal conducta, escogiendo a propósito una redacción confusa a medio camino entre la petición al Parlamento y el panfleto a la opinión pública. Pero, la Areopagítica es recordada sobre todo como el primer manifiesto en favor de la libertad de imprenta, aparecida incluso antes de que la palabra «libro» llegara a sentar carta de naturaleza en el lenguaje coloquial. Traducida ahora por primera vez en términos inteligibles al castellano, Tecnos se congratula en presentar al lector hispano un texto clave de la cultura moderna, cuando la postmodernidad nos exige que redefinamos qué ha quedado con vida del legado del Humanismo y del Renacimiento. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. John Milton (1608-1674) ofreció a su público en 1671 un juego sutil de contrastes y de ecos entre «El Paraíso recobrado» y «Sansón Agonista» al agruparlos en un mismo volumen: un juego que conlleva serias implicaciones teológicas y políticas, que aún hoy puede continuar cada vez que ambos poemas se leen en paralelo. «El Paraíso recobrado» y «Sansón Agonista» proponen una reflexión sobre dos modelos de virtud extraídos de las Sagradas Escrituras. La dinámica psicológica de ambas obras es, sin embargo, opuesta: el Cristo miltoniano de «El Paraíso recobrado» aparece en una posición moral fija, estática, resistiendo a las tentaciones del intelecto y de la voluntad; Sansón avanza, en cambio, hacia una plena regeneración moral desde la esperanza y la autoacusación. Ambas obras proyectan finalmente a sus personajes, desde una situación de inacción, hacia la entrega activa a una causa espiritual y política, por medios violentos en Sansón y pacíficos en Cristo. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Catalán. Els trobadors inclosos en aquesta antologia posen en relleu els lligams que hi hagué entre la poesia trobadoresca i la ideologia de croada. Per la seva doble condició de protector de la cultura cortesa i de monarca vinculat a la croada, la persona de Ricard Cor de Lleó no se'ns mostra solament com un heroi amb perfils simbòlics (el «lleó» combatent com el descriuen els cronistes) sinó com el centre d'una sèrie de discursos poètics que expressen les ànsies i les recances vinculades a la reconquesta de Jerusalem. El corpus poètic dels croats trobadors no ofereix cap visió unificada de la croada. Ben al contrari, revela els múltiples dubtes que els medievals tenien sobre la viabilitat de l'empresa militar. Capficats per la possibilitat del desastre, els poetes donen veu a les contradiccions subjacents al moviment croat. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

Condition: Nuevo. "Manfred (1817) y Caín (1821) son la manifestación de la rebeldía, la subversión moral y la inquietud intelectual y vital de Lord Byron, quien en línea con los presupuestos Románticos, pero desde una perspectiva muy particular, vuelca en sus poemas el tedio y la desazón que le provoca la sociedad en la que vive, así como una tensión interior, personal y profunda que no encuentra consuelo. Los poemas satánicos evocan un lamento por la pérdida de la inocencia, así como por las consecuencias que esta pérdida conlleva; un lamento por una plenitud y serenidad pasadas que no se ha sabido conservar, y una protesta ante un universo arbitrario e injusto de unos personajes a los que mueve el desencanto ante sí mismos y ante el mundo. La presente edición ofrece el texto original inglés y una traducción al castellano de los poemas Manfred y Caín, así como una cronología y apéndices complementarios que recogen una versión desechada del tercer Acto de Manfred por Byron, su Diario alpino y la respuesta de William Blake a Caín. Todo en un volumen único que conforma una obra imprescindible para los amantes de la literatura.".…
