Debolsillo Pastoral americana
Book SynopsisCalificada por la crítica norteamericana como obra maestra, Pastoral americana es la crónica lúcida y despiadada de las ilusiones perdidas de toda una generación.Seymour Levov, el Sueco, atleta mítico en la escuela secundaria, afectuoso padre de familia, trabajador infatigable y acomodado heredero de la fábrica de su padre, llega a la mayoría de edad en la Norteamérica próspera y triunfante de la posguerra. Solo quiere hacer las cosas bien y llevar una vida tranquila. Pero la historia es más fuerte que él y le arrastra sin remedio cuando su hija Merry participa en un acto violento contra la guerra de Vietnam. Las devastadoras consecuencias alejarán al Sueco de cualquier esperanza de felicidad o coherencia espiritual.En esta novela, ganadora del Premio Pulitzer en 1998, Philip Roth nos sumerge en la década más explosiva del siglo XX: los años sesenta. Y lo hace en plena forma, con la prosa medida y la sutileza intelectual que le caracterizan a la hora de retratar las falsas promesas del sueño americano.Reseñas:En la actual literatura norteamericana está Philip Roth y, después, todos los demás.Chicago TribuneUna de las novelas más poderosas que Roth ha escrito nunca... Emocionante, espléndida y ambiciosa. Una obra de arte ferozmente conmovedora.The New York TimesDeslumbrante... Una novela inteligente, compasiva y provocadora... Magnífica.Boston GlobeDiáfana y concienzudamente detallista al mismo tiempo, las páginas de Pastoral americana crepitan con la electricidad y la energía de una mente de primera fila en acción.San Francisco Chronicle

Taylor & Francis Ltd African Epistemology
This book investigates how knowledge is conceived and explored within the African context. Epistemology, or the theory of knowledge, has historically been dominated by the Western approach to the discourse of knowledge. This book however shines a much-needed spotlight on knowledge systems originating within the African continent. Bringing together key voices from across the field of African philosophy, this book explores the nature of knowledge across the continent and how they are rooted in Africans' ontological sense of being and self. At a time when moves to decolonize curricula are gaining momentum, this book shows how understanding the specific ways of knowing that form part of the every day life of the African, will play an important part in rebalancing studies of philosophy globally. Employing critical, conceptual and rigorous analyses of the nature and essence of knowledge as understood by indigenous African societies, the book ultimately asks what could pass as an Af

Taylor & Francis Roads to Consciousness
Book SynopsisFirst Published in 1974, Roads to Consciousness has for its protagonist the idealistic truth-seeking young man who sees that men are evil and righteously condemns the ways of this wicked world, but then falls into cynicism and despair when he discovers at last that he too is a man, and he too is evil. Through a discussion of works of literature ranging from Hamlet to Lady Chatterley's Lover, the author explores the arduous journey to Consciousness or maturity, which liberates the Hamletian hero from doubt and despair.This strikingly original account of the evolution of the Hamletian hero is accomplished by means of a number of masterly interpretations of individual works of literature, but in the final analysis this book should perhaps be regarded as a novel kind of idealised spiritual autobiography under the guise of literary criticism. This book should appeal to those interested in literature in the universities and outside, and also to thoughtful people who are concerned with the spiritual maladies of our time.

Cambridge University Press Wallace Stevens and the Aesthetics of Abstraction
Book SynopsisBy tracing the poet's interest in abstraction from Harmonium through to his later works, Edward Ragg presents a new, revisionist study of the work of Wallace Stevens. This book embraces philosophical and artistic perspectives, analyzing Stevens's place within and resistance to Modernist debates concerning literature, painting, representation and 'the imagination'.Trade Review'Ragg's book shows what can be done by scrupulous scholarship on a carefully chosen and crucial individual feature of a poet's oeuvre. Ragg brings to the topic of abstraction an enviable combination of elegant clarity, subtle and imaginative readings, the construction of an engaging and rich dialectic within Stevens' own career and incisive philosophical analysis that provides a significant conceptual place for the role of idealization in poetry.' Charles Altieri, University of California, Berkeley'Edward Ragg's Wallace Stevens and the Aesthetics of Abstraction is a major contribution to Stevens studies. Ragg is an internationally renowned Stevens expert. In this book he approaches head on the vexed question of 'abstraction' in Stevens' poetry. As Ragg shows, Stevens' notions of abstraction and his practice of 'the aesthetics of abstraction' evolved over the years, from book to book of poetry and from essay to essay as he tried to account in the latter for his poetic practice. The evolution was an attempt to strike the right balance between abstraction and reference to things, 'the pans above the stove, the pots on the table, the tulips among them'. Particularly valuable is the detailed account of Stevens' tendency to abandon the specific idiom of abstraction that dominates the poetry of the early 1940s and its replacement as the decade wore on with a poetry that is still abstract but no longer so much uses just one repertoire of terms. Dr. Ragg's investigation is carried on by way of brilliant close reading of difficult poems, for example the admirable readings of 'Montrachet-Le-Jardin' and 'The Pure Good of Theory'. Anyone interested in Stevens' poetry should have this superb book.' J. Hillis Miller, University of California, Irvine'Ragg's is the rare book that combines intellectual rigor with literary sensitivity in all areas, harmonizing the discussion of ideas and debates with well-informed, multifaceted, and sensitive readings of poems. 'It Must Bring Pleasure' and it does.' Beverly Maeder, University of Lausanne'Ragg's meticulous scholarship will surely inspire further debate on this vexed and central question of Stevens studies …' The Journal of American Studies'Ragg's work has garnered much deserved praise, and it will be of use both to readers of Stevens and to anyone working on the relationship between poetry and painting … Ragg's work is exceptionally well done … and his claim for the central importance of painterly abstraction in the development of Stevens' poetics is established compellingly. The majority of Ragg's focus falls on Stevens' works from 1923 to 1945, and the close analysis he offers of 'Landscape with Boat' from Parts of a World … is particularly useful for the classroom as well as scholarship. This reviewer has used Ragg's approach for seminars with good effect, and this may be the lasting contribution of his work. Instructors teaching Stevens' poetry will find [this] a highly useful resource during lecture preparation, especially given Ragg's tendency to move from critical assertions to the accumulation of evidence through extensive close reading.' James Gifford, The Year's Work in English Studies'[This book] is tightly argued throughout, drawing upon Stevens' essays and letters to illustrate the poet's engagement with modernist art theory and philosophy, and to map his evolving sense of an abstract aesthetic … Ragg makes a particularly strong case for considering Stevens' gustatory imagination. Ever alert to the pleasures of eating and drinking in Stevens' poetry, [he] argues that the physical and sensual 'are often the sites for the catalysis of his abstract imagination', adding that 'the tendency to oppose the sensual to the abstract denies readers insight into this aspect of Stevens' work'.'
