A shattering tale of oppression and resistance during Francos dictatorship, by a beloved Spanish novelist A ferocious story.The Guardian[Delibes] is a master of compression, using the art of omission to convey a slow-burning sense of injustice. . . . Peter Bushs exemplary translation remains faithful to Delibess Castilian original.Tobias Grey, Financial Times Named one of the 100 best Spanish-language novels of the 20th century (El Mundo) Adapted into an award-winning film by Mario Camus In the arid province of Extremadura in 1960s Spain, life on a country estate carries on as it has for centuries: wealthy landowners live in luxury while workers endure lives of poverty and humiliation. Amid this exploitation and injustice live Regula, an estates gatekeeper, and her husband, Paco, the hunting attendant of the contemptuous Señorito Ivan. Regulas brother Azarias toils as a farmhand, but he prefers chasing tawny owls at night, training his pet jackdaw, and caring for his young niece, who is bedridden.

But after Señorito Ivan commits an act of enormous cruelty following an unsuccessful hunt, it is only a matter of time before the simmering tensions between the aristocracy and the workers explode.

One of the best-loved comedies ever written, Twelfth Night is perhaps Shakespeare's most lyrical as well as most experimental play. This Penguin Shakespeare edition is edited by M M Mahood with an introduction by Michael Dobson. 'If music be the food of love, play on...'. Separated from her twin brother Sebastian after a shipwreck, Viola disguises herself as a boy to serve the Duke of Illyria. Wooing a countess on his behalf, she is stunned to find herself the object of his beloved's affections. With the arrival of Viola's brother, and a trick played upon the countess' steward, confusion reigns in this romantic comedy of mistaken identity. This book contains a general introduction to Shakespeare's life and Elizabethan theatre, a separate introduction to Twelfth Night, a chronology, suggestions for further reading, an essay discussing performance options on both stage and screen, and a commentary. William Shakespeare was born some time in late April 1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon and died in 1616. He is widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. Stanley Wells is Emeritus Professor of the University of Birmingham and Honorary President of the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust. Michael Dobson is Director of the Shakespeare Institute and Professor of Shakespeare Studies at the University of Birmingham. "Unrequited love, melancholy, cruelty and joy held together in perfect balance." (Nicholas Hytner).

Joanak koaderno bat zeukan hamasei urte zituenean, berak esaten duen moduan penazko masusten kolorekoa. Hantxe idazten zituen bere ametsak, mindurak, jomugak, pentsabideak edota bere bizimodu arruntean gailentzen ziren gertaerak... Halaxe jakingo dugu nor izan zuen lehen amodioa eta nola aurkitu zuen itsaslabarreko etxea, baita hango misterioa eta madarikazioa ere. Uda hartan, Joanak zoriona ezagutu zuen, heriotza zelatan zeukala jakin gabe. Laster, tragediaren pisuak zapalduko zuen betiko. Urteak geroago, itsaslabarrera itzuli da, oroitzapenetatik askatu nahian.Itzuli naiz herrira. Koadernoa ekarri dut, nire bizitzako aingeruen eta deabruen bizitokia izan den koaderno morea. Itzuli naiz itsaslabarrera. Ez nau ilunak menderatu. Hementxe nago. Koaderno honetan dago idatzita nire historia.

This book was shortlisted for the 2015 Man Booker prize. It was shortlisted for the 2015 Goldsmiths Prize. "A horrifyingly comic novel of ideas with its fingers jammed into the light-socket of the age." (Guardian). "A Kafka for the Google Age." (Daily Telegraph). Meet U. - a talented and uneasy figure currently pimping his skills to an elite consultancy in contemporary London. His employers advise everyone from big businesses to governments, and, to this end, expect their 'corporate anthropologist' to help decode and manipulate the world around them - all the more so now that a giant, epoch-defining project is in the offing. Instead, U. spends his days procrastinating, meandering through endless buffer-zones of information and becoming obsessed by the images with which the world bombards him on a daily basis: oil spills, African traffic jams, roller-blade processions, zombie parades. Is there, U. wonders, a secret logic holding all these images together - a codex that, once cracked, will unlock the master-meaning of our age? Might it have something to do with South Pacific Cargo Cults, or the dead parachutists in the news? Perhaps; perhaps not. As U. oscillates between the visionary and the vague, brilliance and bullshit, Satin Island emerges, an impassioned and exquisite novel for our disjointed times.
