El bandolerismo en España
Autor: César Alcalá
Número de Páginas: 401Las primeras noticias que conocemos de los bandoleros surgen en el siglo XVI. Estos aparecieron en aquellas zonas que presentaban unas características muy concretas para que pudieran moverse en libertad y sin ser hostigados por las fuerzas del orden, es decir, las montañas, el escenario perfecto para el pillaje y el robo. Existe mucha literatura sobre ellos, de hecho los escritores románticos franceses e ingleses mitificaron a muchos bandoleros en sus obras. Y autores españoles como Lope de Vega y Cervantes contribuyeron también al mito. Gracias a ellos han entrado en el imaginario popular personajes novelescos como Perot lo Lladre, Joan de Serrallonga, José María el Tempranillo o Luis Candelas. Y no solamente los hombres, también mujeres bandoleras o serranas como La Tuerta, Pepa la Loba o la Manola entraron en ese imaginario. Incluso la televisión ayudó creando el personaje de Curro Jiménez que, si bien existió, su vida fue menos romántica que la del personaje de ficción. César Alcalá ha realizado en esta magnífica obra un exhaustivo estudio sobre la fascinante historia y evolución del bandolerismo a través de sus principales protagonistas.

The Book of Everything (one-act version)
Autor: Jason Pizzarello
Número de Páginas: 28Thomas lives in both the world of his mind and the reality of his troubled family’s home in postwar Amsterdam. Whether imagined angels support him or his father beats him, he records it all in his Book of Everything. But when Thomas begins to form surprising connections with the people around him, suddenly it seems that maybe the two worlds don’t have to be so far apart. Maybe the miraculous really looks like a letter from the witch next door, a sister who takes a stand at the dinner table, or a tropical fish in the canal. Maybe things can change. Witty, wise, and bursting with magical realism, this stage adaptation brings the acclaimed book to life with an ensemble cast. (A full-length version of this play is also available.)

It is the place of Squid’s idyllic childhood, where she and her brother, Alastair, blossomed into precocious adolescents. But Lizzie Island is also the place where Alastair died. Now the past collides with the present as Squid’s homecoming unleashes bittersweet recollections, revelations, and accusations. But nothing is what it appears to be. No one possesses the complete truth, and no one is without blame. From the Hardcover edition.

Dutch Post-war Fiction Film through a Lens of Psychoanalysis
Autor: Peter Verstraten
Número de Páginas: 483Dutch Post-war Fiction Film through a Lens of Psychoanalysis is a sequel to Humour and Irony in Dutch Post-war Fiction Film (AUP, 2016), but the two studies can be read separately. Because of the sheer variety of Fons Rademakers's oeuvre, which spans 'art' cinema and cult, genre film and historical epics, each chapter will start with one of his titles to introduce a key concept from psychoanalysis. It is an oft-voiced claim that Dutch cinema strongly adheres to realism, but psychoanalytic theories on desire and fantasy are employed to put this idea into perspective. In the vein of cinephilia, this study brings together canonical titles (ALS TWEE DRUPPELS WATER; SOLDAAT VAN ORANJE) and little gems (MONSIEUR HAWARDEN; KRACHT). It juxtaposes among others GLUCKAUF and DE VLIEGENDE HOLLANDER (on father figures); FLANAGAN and SPOORLOOS (on rabbles and heroes); DE AANSLAG and LEEDVERMAAK (on historical traumas); ANTONIA and BLUEBIRD (on aphanisis).

Playing Without the Ball
Autor: Rich Wallace
Número de Páginas: 222Some might think Jay was cheated. By his mother, who walked out when he was 9. By his dad, who took a job a couple thousand miles away and let him stay above a bar in a one-room apartment. By the basketball coach, who saw his talent but chose youth over determination. And even Jay’s not sure whether this last year of high school in the small town of Sturbridge, Pennsylvania, will add up to anything. But just when senior year seems a waste–kissing the wrong girls, offending the right ones, playing basketball on a church league with other “rejects”–life begins to click again. The church league gives him some of the best basketball he’s ever played, and the right girl gives him a second chance. Jay may not know what he wants next out of life, but he’s beginning to get a clue about how to play the game.

Becoming Mary Mehan
Autor: Jennifer Armstrong
Número de Páginas: 220Jennifer Armstrong’s two masterful novels about Mary Mehan are now together in one volume. Set against the pivotal events of the American Civil War, The Dreams of Mairhe Mehan depicts an Irish immigrant girl and her family, struggling to find their place in a country at war with itself. In a starred review, Kirkus Reviews said, “Armstrong mixes vision and reality with breathtaking virtuosity, salting Mairhe’s narrative with poetic turns of phrase, snatches of song, story, and history.” Mary Mehan Awake takes up Mary’s story after the war when, much like the broken country, Mary must begin a journey of emotional and physical renewal. Of this book, The Horn Book Magazine said, “The story unfolds effortlessly and richly. It’s The Secret Garden for an older audience, with friendship and nature gratifyingly providing healing and wholeness.” This new Readers’ Circle edition includes an interview with the author discussing her ideas about how history is remembered and recorded, and the obligations and opportunities of the historical novelist.

The Role of Translators in Children’s Literature
Autor: Gillian Lathey
Número de Páginas: 258This book offers a historical analysis of key classical translated works for children, such as writings by Hans Christian Andersen and Grimms’ tales. Translations dominate the earliest history of texts written for children in English, and stories translated from other languages have continued to shape its course to the present day. Lathey traces the role of the translator and the impact of translations on the history of English-language children’s literature from the ninth century onwards. Discussions of popular texts in each era reveal fluctuations in the reception of translated children’s texts, as well as instances of cultural mediation by translators and editors. Abridgement, adaptation, and alteration by translators have often been viewed in a negative light, yet a closer examination of historical translators’ prefaces reveals a far more varied picture than that of faceless conduits or wilful censors. From William Caxton’s dedication of his translated History of Jason to young Prince Edward in 1477 (‘to thentent/he may begynne to lerne read Englissh’), to Edgar Taylor’s justification of the first translation into English of Grimms’ tales as a means of...
