tempestad
La tempestad es una de las ltimas obras que compuso William Shakespeare. Su genio teatral, lejos de verse agotado o disminuido, se despleg en ella con una sorprendente creatividad dram tica y po tica. Una historia fabulosa y triste, de traici n y perd n al mismo tiempo, un romance por el que desfilan personajes notables en una isla encantada de clima sutil y rara naturaleza, donde los acontecimientos se unen para producir una totalidad magn fica, una perfecta ilusi n esc nica. Esta traducci n que sigue los est ndares acad micos actualmente en uso para la edici n de las obras de Shakespeare, constituye un esfuerzo por recuperar el genuino talento art stico del dramaturgo ingl s no solo para el teatro de nuestros pa ses, sino tambi n para su ense anza. La fidelidad al texto original de 1623 intenta reproducir con mayor precisi n las singularidades y el particular estilo de escritura de la obra. En la introducci n se da cuenta de las caracter sticas del teatro isabelino, los problemas en torno al texto que conservamos de La tempestad, y refiere su larga y debatida historia interpretativa al tiempo que propone y re-propone algunas cuestiones hermen uticas fundamentales. El texto se acompa a de abundantes notas filol gicas y explicativas, respecto de diversas discusiones ling sticas, teatrales e hist ricas. -
Chipped
What's a talisman to do when his human dies and he finds himself in the hands of someone she loved, but he can't stand?
Chip lived in Isabelle's pocket for 25 years. He was her talisman-that little voice in her head that gave her the courage to travel from the slopes of Kilimanjaro to the beaches of Southern France and beyond. When she's killed in a tragic accident, their magical bond unravels. Shared memories fade. Without his beloved human, Chip fears he'll become nothing but a silent lump of stone.
Isabelle's niece Sara lives on the family farm under the strict control of her husband. Chip awakens one day to find he's been shipped to her in a box of Isabelle's belongings. Still grief stricken, he's yearning for Isabelle's voice and only pays attention to Sara because she sneaks into one of Isabelle's journals to escape her own bleak existence.
This isn't the life Isabelle would've wanted for Sara, but Chip isn't her talisman. He couldn't help even if he wanted to; she can't hear him.
Sharing Isabelle's words, however, might just give them both the strength they need to carry on.
From the author of Trusting Bamboo Bridges comes Chipped, another poignant story of love, loss, and the struggle to find one's own path. -

Sold outAssault on Truth
A fearless investigation into Freud's greatest reversal--and the century of silence that followed--The Assault on Truth exposes how the father of psychoanalysis buried his own discovery about childhood trauma, reshaping the course of psychology forever. In 1896, Sigmund Freud presented his revolutionary "seduction theory," arguing that childhood sexual abuse directly caused adult mental illness. Just nine years later, he completely reversed this stance, insisting these traumatic memories were mere fantasies. Why did Freud retract his original theory? And why has the psychoanalytic community gone to such lengths to conceal this critical reversal? In the landmark book, The Assault on Truth, Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson draws on unique access to formerly sealed and hidden papers to uncover the truth behind this pivotal moment in psychoanalytic history. Masson dares to explore the reality that neither Freud nor his followers could bear to face. This investigation reveals the enduring impact of Freud's decision on the theory and practice of psychoanalysis. Bracing in its honesty and gripping in its revelations, The Assault on Truth is the book that prompted Masson's dramatic break with the psychoanalytic establishment and launched his brilliant career as an independent thinker and writer.Sold out -
