Paperback. Condition: New. Focusing in turn on history, powerful individuals, under-represented voices and the arts, the essays in this collection cover a wide variety of modern and contemporary narrative fiction from Jo Walton and L. Sprague De Camp to T. S. Chaudhry and Catherynne M. Valente. Chapters look into the question of chance versus determinism in the unfolding of historical events, the role individuals play in shaping a society or occasion, and the way art and literature symbolise important messages in counterfactual histories. They also show how uchronic narratives can take advantage of modern literary techniques to reveal new and relevant aspects of the past, giving voices to marginalised minorities and suppressed individuals of the ancient world.Counterfactual fiction and uchronic narratives have been largely up until now the domain of literary critics. However, these modes of literature are here analysed by scholars of Ancient History, Egyptology and Classics, shedding important new light on how cultures of the ancient world have been (and still are) perceived, and to what extent our conceptions of the past are used to explore alternate presents and futures. Alternate history entices the imagination of the public by suggesting hypothetical scenarios that never occurred, underlining a latent tension between reality and imagination, and between determinism and contingency.

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. "Este libro aborda la figura del emperador Juliano, tradicionalmente conocido como ?el Apóstata?, desde diversas perspectivas. Se ofrece una aproximación a los principales eventos que marcaron la corta vida de un personaje que pretendió revertir el proceso de cristianización del Imperio romano en el siglo IV. A continuación, se lleva a cabo un detallado estudio de la amplia obra literaria de Juliano, el emperador de quien se conserva un mayor número de escritos. Por último, se presenta un panorama que recoge los principales ejemplos de su presencia en el imaginario cultural europeo, desde su mistificación en martirologios medievales a su aparición en el cómic y la literatura contemporánea. Destinado a estudiantes y a lectores interesados en el mundo antiguo, este volumen aspira a constituir una primera toma de contacto con la vida y la obra de un personaje, cuyo legado representa un ilustrativo ejemplo de los avatares sufridos en el proceso de conformación de la herencia cultural occidental como producto del ensamblaje de la tradición grecorromana en el orden cristiano. Alberto J. Quiroga Puertas es profesor titular en el Departamento de Filología Griega y Filología Eslava de la Universidad de Granada.
