        Tristana

        Roman. Aus dem Spanischen übersetzt und mit einem Nachwort versehen von Erna Pfeiffer

        by Benito Pérez Galdós, Erna Pfeiffer, Erna Pfeiffer

        Benito Pérez Galdós wurde 1843 in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria geboren. Im Alter von 19 Jahren ging er nach Madrid, um Jura zu studieren. Dort lernte er Francisco Giner de los Ríos kennen, den Begründer der Institución Libre de Enseñanza, der ihn mit der Philosophie des Krausismo vertraut machte und ihn zum Schreiben ermutigte. Seinen ersten, noch von der Romantik beeinflußten Roman La fontana de oro veröffentlichte Galdós 1870. Er beschäftigte sich intensiv mit den Werken von Balzac und Dickens, die sein erzählerisches Werk zunehmend prägten. 1873 begann Galdós sein Projekt der Episodios nacionales, einem Zyklus historischer Romane, die sich mit der spanischen Geschichte des 19. Jahrhunderts auseinandersetzen. Zwischen 1873 und 1912 entstanden 46 Romane in diesem Zyklus. Galdós arbeitete auch als Journalist und schrieb Artikel zu gesellschaftlichen und politischen Problemen seiner Zeit. Galdós gilt aber vor allem als der Begründer des modernen spanischen Romans. Er schrieb weitere 32 Romane, die vorwiegend das Leben der spanischen Bourgeoisie, deren Gebräuche und Moralvorstellungen schildern und sich durch die feine psychologische Durchdringung der Charaktere auszeichnen. Zu den bekanntesten zählen Doña Perfecta (1876) und Fortunata y Jacinta (1886/87). In den 1890er Jahren beschäftigte Galdós sich auch mit dem Theater und schrieb mehrere Stücke. 1897 wurde Galdós Mitglied der Königlichen Spanischen Akademie der Sprache. Er engagierte sich auch politisch und war 1907 Spitzenkandidat der Republikanisch-Sozialistischen Partei in Madrid. 1912 erblindete er und starb 1920 in Madrid.

        From Perversion to Purity

        The stardom of Catherine Deneuve

        by Lisa Downing, Sue Harris

        Catherine Deneuve is indisputably one of the world's most celebrated actresses, both in her native France and throughout the world. Her career has spanned five decades during which she has worked with the most significant of French auteurs, as well as forging partnerships with international directors such as Bunuel and Polanski. The Deneuve star persona has attained such iconic status that it can now symbolise the very essence of French womanhood and civic identity. In this wide-ranging and authoritative collection of essays by a selection of international film academics and writers, the Deneuve persona is scrutinised and illuminated. Beyond the glamorous iconographic status of Yves Saint Laurent's muse, and the epitome of sexual inviolability, Deneuve's status as actress is foregrounded. The book will be essential reading for students and lecturers in star studies.

        30 Ways to Doff your Hat

        by Elvira Lindo

        30 Ways to Doff Your Hat is a selection of thirty literary pieces in which Elvira Lindo portrays female artists, painters, writers, actresses, and photographers who pursue their work at the margins of the conventional male canon that looms over society, and who have managed to make their mark doing so. Elvira Lindo, one of the most distinguished figures on the contemporary Spanish scene, retraces her path in life and in art, incorporating her own self-portrait into this pantheon of female artists. The author’s voice is the guiding thread that runs through each of these essays: through her experience, through her gaze, Elvira Lindo invites the reader to analyze the era and the accomplishments of these pioneering women whose brilliance, tenacity, and free spirit led them to blaze new trails for future generations. Throughout history, many women have felt obliged to doff their hat before rules imposed by a society that has isolated them from the male-dominated intellectual community. In this narrative mosaic, Elvira Lindo’s astonishing prose reveals her boundless empathy, erudition, and eclectic and inquisitive spirit. Portrayed artists: Astrid Lindgren, Anna Frank, Concepción Josefa Pantaleona, María Guerrero, Elena Fortún, Gloria Fuertes, Adelaida García Morales, Tristana, Louisa May Alcott, Carson McMullers, Patricia Highsmith, Victoria Kent, Alice Munro, Mary Beard, Monica Zgustova, Chimamanda Adichie Ngozie, Margaret Atwood, Edna O’Brien, Joan Didion, Lucia Berlin, Dorothy Parker, Angelika Schrobsdorff, Sally Mann, Joyce Maynard, Marjorie Eliot, Vivian Gornick, Olivia Laing, Nelle Harper Lee, Grace Paley, Elvira Lindo.

        Muerte en Mitra

        by Miquel Bota

        Wake up, Ramón! What are you looking for? Why? After the partial loss of his memory, Ramón Mitra embarks on an introspective journey that takes him to a destination not imagined. In a delirious transition between reality and possibility, revisiting specific moments of his past, the protagonist of the novel will persist in his efforts to recover the pieces of himself that are missing. With the help of a young nurse, a philosophy student, a pharmacist reading Freud and a provincial secretary, Ramón struggles to achieve enlightenment through his personal odyssey, in which the fight against desire will be the mark of his itinerary. Set in mid-20th century Spain, nothing will be accidental in the history of Ramón Mitra: not his name, not the tests to which he will be subjected, neither the absences nor the presences of his journey.
