Anthropological theory can radically transform our understanding of human experience and offer theologians an introduction to the interdisciplinary nature between anthropology and Christianity.Both sociocultural anthropology and theology have made fundamental contributions to our understanding of human experience and the place of humanity in the world. But can these two disciplines, despite the radical differences that separate them, work together to transform their thinking on these topics? Robbins argues that they can. To make this point, he draws on key theological discussions of atonement, eschatology, interruption, passivity, and judgement to rethink important anthropological debates about such topics as ethical life, radical change, the ways people live in time, agency, gift giving, and the nature of humanity. The result is both a major reconsideration of important aspects of anthropological theory through theological categories and a series of careful readings of influential theologians such as Moltmann, Pannenberg, Jüngel, and Dalferth informed by rich ethnographic accounts of the lives of Christians from around the world. In conclusion, Robbins draws on contemporary discussions of secularism to interrogate the secular foundations of anthropology and suggests that the differences between anthropology and theology surrounding this topic can provide a foundation for transformative dialogue between them, rather than being an obstacle to it. Written as a work of interdisciplinary anthropological theorizing, this book also offers theologians an introduction to some of the most important ground covered by burgeoning field of the anthropology of Christianity while guiding anthropologists into core areas of theological discussion. Although theoretically ambitious, the book is clearly argued throughout and written to be accessible to all readers in the social sciences, theology, and religious studies interested in the place of religion in social life and human experience.

Rey, Dama, Valet
La más alegre de sus novelas según Nabokov mismo. «Este fogoso animal es la más alegre de mis novelas», dijo Nabokov de Rey, Dama, Valet, una sátira en la que un jovencito miope, provinciano, mojigato y desprovisto de sentido del humor irrumpe en el frío paraíso de un matrimonio de nuevos ricos berlineses. La esposa seduce al recién llegado y le convierte en su amante. Poco después le convence para intentar eliminar al marido. Éste es el aparentemente sencillo planteamiento de la más clásica, quizá, de las novelas escritas por Nabokov. Pero, tras esa aparente ortodoxia se oculta una notable complejidad técnica, y, sobre todo, un tratamiento singular presidido por el tono de farsa.Publicada originalmente en Berlín, a finales de los años veinte, y ampliamente reelaborada por Nabokov en el momento de su traducción al inglés, a finales de los sesenta, Rey, Dama, Valet muestra un fuerte influjo del expresionismo alemán, especialmente del cinematográfico, y contiene un auténtico derroche de humor negro.Nabokov vapulea a sus personajes, los convierte en autómatas, se ríe de ellos a diabólicas carcajadas, caricaturizándolos con gruesos trazos que no impiden, sin embargo, que posean una verosimilitud que proporciona sostenida amenidad a toda la novela.

Can you live a lie?It’s a ghost town, this place that haunts me, the one that made me.It’s clear to me that I’ll never outgrow Triple Falls or outlive the time I spent here.I can still feel them all, my boys of summer.Even when I’d sensed the danger, I gave in.I didn’t heed a single warning. I let my sickness, my love, both rule and ruin me. I played my part, eyes wide open, tempting fate until it delivered.There was never going to be an escape.All of us are to blame for what happened. All of us serving our own sentences. We were careless and reckless, thinking our youth made us indestructible, exempt from our sins, and it cost us all.I’m done pretending I didn’t leave the largest part of me between these hills and valleys, between the sea of trees that hold my secrets.It’s the reason I’m back. To make peace with my fate.And if I can’t grieve enough to cure myself in my time here, I’ll remain sick. That will be my curse.But it’s time to confess, to myself more so than any other, that I’d hindered my chances because of the way I was built, and because of the men who built me.At this point, I just want to make peace with who I am, no matter what ending I get.Because I can no longer live a lie.

Los años en que vivió Thomas Mann, de 1875 a 1955, significaron en suconjunto una época verdaderamente fatídica para la historia de Alemania.Y Mann los sufrió como muchos, pero de forma diferente, llevándolo todomás allá gracias a sus escritos. En ellos fue introduciendo detalles,recuerdos, anécdotas y sentimientos, llegando incluso a anotar día yhora. Y con ello se puede decir sin caer en falsedad que existe unaidentidad total entre obra y persona.Este Sobre mí mismo es, a modo de presentación o ensayo autobiográfico,un texto donde el autor se sincera sobre sí mismo más aún que encualquier otra obra suya una aventura personal, un cuaderno de viajes yepisodios familiares, y todo aquello que concierne a su trabajo, y susideas acerca de la religión, la música o el psicoanálisis, por ejemplo.Así, Mann se convierte en un representante cultural de su tiempo ydemuestra ser, una vez más, un profundo conocedor del ser humano.

Perhaps the single most influential work of English drama, William Shakespeare's Hamlet is a timeless tragedy of the conflicted loyalties, madness, betrayal and terrible revenge. This Penguin Shakespeare edition is edited by T.J.B. Spencer with an introduction by Alan Sinfield. 'To be or not to be - that is the question' Something is rotten in the state of Denmark. When young prince Hamlet is confronted by his father's ghost on the battlements of Castle Elsinore, he is burdened with a terrible task: slay King Claudius, Hamlet's uncle, who the ghost alleges murdered him. Wrestling with his conscience, Hamlet feigns wild madness while plotting a brutal revenge, alienating his mother Queen Gertrude and spurning his lover Ophelia. But the act of insanity takes Hamlet perilously close to the reality, wreaking havoc on guilty and innocent alike. This book contains a general introduction to Shakespeare's life and Elizabethan theatre, a separate introduction to Hamlet, a chronology, suggestions for further reading, an essay by Paul Prescott discussing performance options on both stage and screen, and a commentary. William Shakespeare (1564-1616) was born to John Shakespeare and Mary Arden some time in late April 1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon. He wrote about 38 plays (the precise number is uncertain), many of which are regarded as the most exceptional works of drama ever produced, including Romeo and Juliet (1595), Henry V (1599), Hamlet (1601), Othello (1604), King Lear (1606) and Macbeth (1606), as well as a collection of 154 sonnets, which number among the most profound and influential love-poetry in English. If you enjoyed Hamlet, you might like Shakespeare's Macbeth, also available in Penguin Shakespeare. 'It has everything - intrigue, romance, politics, violence, revenge, jealousy, wit. It plays itself out on such a grand scale' Kenneth Branagh.

Julio Cortázar: el cronopio fugitivo
El nombre de Julio Cortázar aún resuena en todo el mundo por su calidadliteraria y por su hondo compromiso con el ser humano. Considerado comouno de los autores más importantes del siglo XX, su vida fue tancontrovertida y apasionante como su obra. Escribió, viajó por diferentespaíses y pasó largas temporadas en ellos dejando un rastro imborrable deprofeta social, especialmente en tierras latinoamericanas. En todo esetiempo Cortázar nunca olvidó su destino y luchó por sus ideales, yafueran artísticos, políticos o metafísicos, y siempre bajo el paraguasde la literatura, su vieja amiga de la infancia que le acompañó hasta lamuerte.Pero tras este autor carismático y cosmopolita, se ocultaba un individuofuera de lo común: una persona de extraordinaria sensibilidad que viviómarcada por los traumas familiares y por una relación conflictiva con supropio país, Argentina. Cortázar fue hombre de grandes amores y deexcelentes amigos, también de oscuros secretos. Basándose en recienteshallazgos documentales, Miguel Dalmau construye una biografía rigurosa,vibrante y atrevida, un retrato que se aleja de los patrones académicosal uso para mostrarnos el lado más íntimo y desconocido de un artistaexcepcional.

Xavier Queipo, un dos narradores galegos que máis se ten prodigado na narrativa breve, celebra o seu 66 aniversario con esta colección de sesenta e seis relatos breves, aos que engade un limiar esclarecedor. A primeira parte do libro, «Relatos atópicos», recolle contos no sentido estrito, aínda que con sorpresas, «Gabinete de curiosidades» fai lembrar as prosas das súas entregas anteriores («Contornos», de 1993, e «Mundiños», de 1995), «Prosas finiseculares» é unha colección de fragmentos do seu diario na última década do século XX. Como xa acontecera en «55» (Xerais, 2014), este libro conforma un crisol de historias que pasean polo gume entre a realidade e a ficción, con moitas referencias eruditas e tamén con lembranzas de vidas que xa sucederon ou que aínda poderán suceder. Un Xavier Queipo en estado puro que explora a innovación temática e formal.

«A arte de escribir consiste en dicir moito con poucas palabras», afirmaba Chéjov, o pai do conto moderno. Un reto para quen crea e unha aventura para quen le. Nestes vinte e dous relatos de «Compostela» achegámonos á cidade dende diversas voces e olladas, mais tamén fuximos dela a arrabaldes de grandes urbes, a vilas pequenas ou a barrios con encanto. Neste paseo literario gozamos de voces consagradas no xénero e doutras que se inician, xeracións diferentes que dialogan nunha mesma lingua na que constrúen historias enraizadas en nós. Cada conto é mostra do gran momento literario do país, estas páxinas son un remuíño de bolboretas mergulladas na mesma luz, a da literatura galega. (Malores Villanueva) A cousa é que a nave foi. E con esta xa van tres... E esta, como di un amigo meu que canta moito e moi ben, «Partiu!». (Pedro Feijoo)

Hona zein den tragedia shakespearetar eta komedia txe-khovtar baten arteko alde nagusia: Shakespeareren tragedia baten amaieran agertokia gorpuz betea dagoela, pertsonaia hilez, eta beharbada justizia nagusitu da, beharbada. Txekhoven antzezlan baten bukaeran, jende guztia desilusionatua dago, guztiz joa, atsekabetua, adoregabetua, baina bizirik. Eta nik bizitza osoan sinetsi izan dut borroka egin behar genukeela, ez gatazka baten amaiera zoriontsu bat izateko –gatazken amaiera zoriontsuetan ez dut nik sinesten–, soluzio txekhovtar bat izateko baizik. ––––––––––––––––– Der grösste Unterschied zwischen der Shakespear’schen Tragödie und der Tschechow’schen Komödie liegt darin, dass am Ende der Tragödie nach Shakespeare die Bühne bedeckt ist mit Leichen, und vielleicht hat die Gerechtigkeit gesiegt, vielleicht. Am Ende eines Stückes von Tschechow sind alle enttäuscht, erschüttert, untröstlich, gebrochen – aber am Leben. Seit ich denken kann bin ich davon überzeugt, dass es nicht darum geht, für das glückliche Ende von Konflikten zu kämpfen – ich glaube bei Konflikten gibt es kein Happy End – sondern für eine Tschechowsche Lösung. ––––––––––––––––– La principal diferencia entre una tragedia de Shakespeare y una comedia de Chejov es que al finalizar una tragedia de Shakespeare el escenario está cubierto de cadáveres y quizás –solo quizás– se haya impuesto la justicia. Al término de una comedia de Chejov, todo el mundo está decepcionado, afligido, derrotado o desencantado, pero vivo. Y toda mi vida he pensado que deberíamos luchar no por un final feliz del conflicto –nunca he creído en los finales felices de los conflictos–, sino por una solución chejoviana.
