Most contemporary digital studies are interested in distant-reading paradigms for large-scale literary history. This book asks what happens when such telescopic techniques function as a microscope instead. The first monograph to bring a range of computational methods to bear on a single novel in a sustained fashion, it focuses on the award-winning and genre-bending Cloud Atlas (2004). Published in two very different versions worldwide without anyone taking much notice, David Mitchell's novel is ideal fodder for a textual-genetic publishing history, reflections on micro-tectonic shifts in language by authors who move between genres, and explorations of how we imagine people wrote in bygone eras. Though Close Reading with Computers focuses on but one novel, it has a crucial exemplary function: author Martin Paul Eve demonstrates a set of methods and provides open-source software tools that others can use in their own literary-critical practices. In this way, the project serves as a bridge between users of digital methods and those engaged in more traditional literary-critical endeavors.

Un libro imprescindible para conocer los entresijos de ese mundo financiero que domina la economía y el discurso político. Más de cuatro años después del inicio de la crisis financiera, se han recuperado con dinero de los contribuyentes los negocios lucrativos de la banca, pero las consecuencias socioeconómicas (cierres de empresas, desempleo, ahorros evaporados, rebajas salariales.) se dejan sentir sobre los ciudadanos, amedrentados o indignados. En este libro, Juan Hdez. Vigueras, del Consejo científico de Attac, aporta respuestas con una mirada crítica al interior de las finanzas globalizadas y nos desvela los mecanismos de la especulación: los jugadores (la banca financiera, los fondos de inversiones, la gran empresa, las agencias de calificación); las fichas con las que juegan (las hipotecas, los derivados, los alimentos básicos, el petróleo, el armamento, la contaminación.); y también los reguladores en la sombra. Unos juegos con cartas marcadas, trucos y trampas, que conforman u

Amy feels like everything is going wrong. For a start, she’s just found out she isn’t going to the same high school as everyone else. Add to that her annoying younger brothers, Pops’ worsening dementia and Cassie, her supposed best friend, being meaner than ever, and Amy’s summer is not looking promising. Especially when Mum tells her they’re moving in with Gran and Pops for the holidays … all the way on the other side of town. But then she discovers who lives over the road from her grandparents: Jay, the kind, quiet boy from school. Soon Amy realizes that friendship isn't always about who talks the most and the loudest, who does the most exciting things or throws the coolest parties. Sometimes a friend is just someone to talk to, someone to listen. But when outside pressures start to creep back in, can Amy hang on to her summer of silver linings? A humorous and heartfelt story of new friends, fresh starts and silver linings, for fans of Jacqueline Wilson, Lisa Thompson and Cath Howe.

Los mejores libros jamás escritos.Ay de la humana naturaleza! Ya lo habéis comprendido antes de que os lo dijera.Desde que empezaron a publicarse en 1836, las aventuras de Samuel Pickwick y Sam Weller se convirtieron en un éxito arrollador y supusieron la metamorfosis de un joven periodista mal pagado en el gran novelista del siglo XIX inglés. Los inolvidables miembros del absurdo Club Pickwick protagonizan aquí, según la generosa tradición de Cervantes, una infinita sucesión de aventuras disparatadas, cómicas, tristes, transidas siempre de una amabilidad quizá nunca igualada.La presente edición recoge la traducción del ensayista e historiador de las ideas José María Valverde, sin duda la más preciosamente vertida a nuestra lengua. La acompaña, además, a modo de introducción, el brillante estudio del crítico literario y filósofo Jordi Llovet, que presenta así al lector una obra que es uno de los grandes hitos de la literatura universal.

Homer the Classic is about the reception of Homeric poetry from the fifth through the first century BCE. The study of this reception is important for understanding not only the all-pervasive literary influence of ancient Greek epic traditions but also the various ways in which these traditions were used by individuals and states to promote their own cultural and political agenda. The aim of this book, which centers on ancient concepts of Homer as the author of a body of poetry that we know as the Iliad and the Odyssey, is not to reassess the oral poetic heritage of Homeric poetry but to show how it became a classic in the days of the Athenian empire and later.This volume is one of two books stemming from six Sather Classical Lectures given in the spring semester of 2002 at the University of California at Berkeley while the author was teaching there as the Sather Professor.

While presenting the Nobel Prize in Literature to J. M. G. Le Cl zio in 2008, the Nobel Committee called him the "author of new departures, poetic adventure and sensual ecstasy, explorer of a humanity beyond and below the reigning civilization." In Mydriasis, the author proves himself to be precisely that as he takes us on a phantasmagoric journey into parallel worlds and whirling visions. Dwelling on darkness, light, and human vision, Le Cl zio's richly poetic prose composes a mesmerizing song and a dizzying exploration of the universe--a universe not unlike the abysses explored by the highly idiosyncratic Belgian poet Henri Michaux. Michaux is, in fact, at the heart of To the Icebergs. Fascinated by his writing, Le Cl zio includes Michaux's 'poem of the poem', 'Iniji', thereby allowing the poet's voice to emerge by itself. What follows is much more than a simple analysis of the poem; rather, it is an act of complete insight and understanding, a personal appropriation and elevation of the work. Written originally in the 1970s and now translated into English for the first time, these two brief, incisive and haunting texts will further strengthen the reputation of one of the world's greatest and most visionary living writers.
