SHORTLISTED FOR THE SUNDAY TIMES YOUNG WRITER OF THE YEAR AWARD 2020 ‘A rollercoaster of a read with serious intent’ The Times A moving and masterful novel about sex, death, passion and prejudice in a sleepy village in the south of France Marguerite Demers is twenty-four when she leaves Paris for the sleepy southern village of Saint-Sulpice, to take up a job as a live-in nurse. Her charge is Jerome Lanvier, once one of the most powerful men in the village, and now dying alone in his large and secluded house, surrounded by rambling gardens. Manipulative and tyrannical, Jerome has scared away all his previous nurses. It’s not long before the villagers have formed opinions of Marguerite. Brigitte Brochon, pillar of the community and local busybody, finds her arrogant and mysterious and is desperate to find a reason to have her fired. Glamorous outsider Suki Lacourse sees Marguerite as an ally in a sea of small-minded provincialism. Local farmer Henri Brochon, husband of Brigitte, feels concern for her and wants to protect her from the villagers’ intrusive gossip and speculation – but Henri has a secret of his own that would intrigue and disturb his neighbours just as much as the truth about Marguerite, if only they knew … Set among the lush fields and quiet olive groves of southern France, and written in clear prose of crystalline beauty, Nightingale is a masterful, moving novel about death, sexuality, compassion, prejudice and freedom.

Cambiar los contenidos, cambiar la educación es el resultado de una conjunción de textos, en el que cada autor y autora tienen la oportunidad de expresar lo que le sugería la interrelación entre la ya manida sociedad del conocimiento y la educación. Estamos educados en la perspectiva de poner a dicha sociedad como fuente de las consecuencias que se derivan para el discurso, las políticas y prácticas educativos. Después se haría el trabajo en dirección inversa: qué pueda hacer la educación para hacer efectiva la sociedad haciéndola más transparente, más atractiva y más justa, Para ese cometido se requiere volver sobre los principios fundamentales, que si bien no han dejado de tener vigencia, si que se han desdibujado y debilitado para que recuperen su fuerza para tener voz en los ámbitos en los que se piensa, se hace y se valoran las prácticas dominantes. Esta obra recoge las conferencias más importantes impartidas en un curso de verano (el de 2016) de la universidad Meléndez Pelayo en

This book studies the transformations of the figure of Faust found in the Faust books dating from the 16th to the early 18th century, which laid the foundation for the literary fame of the figure of Faust as the devil's confederate.The figure of Faust was repeatedly reworked in many texts of this era, undergoing a considerable transformation in the process. At the center of the discussion in this volume lie the themes of curiositas and audacity, fear of damnation and an anguished conscience, melancholy and despair.Of particular interest are the junctures of Faust as sorcerer and learned man, caught between exemplary typification and individualisation processes, between legend and damnation.
