El encuentro fortuito con un amor platónico de su juventud, tras veinte años de silencio y olvido, activará en Montesinos la evocación de una época que, bajo el dictamen implacable del tiempo y la experiencia, comenzará a mostrar las verdaderas fisuras de un orden que suponía inalterable. El hecho lo llevará a replantearse el mito que representó Emma, y con él la validez de todo su mundo: una tesis sin concluir, una vida profesional y emocional tortuosa, una familia disruptiva, y la inesperada intervención de la excesiva Úrsula -una inquietante admiradora empeñada en hacer pervivir ese mito con métodos prácticamente delictivos- serán el campo donde aplicar el sistema defensivo propiciado por el mecanismo Ripperton: la acomodación natural a los cambios y la aceptación incondicional de las nuevas circunstancias vitales. Con la original estructura de una tesis en cuatro tiempos, la novela aborda, a través de tres relaciones sentimentales, otras tantas manifestaciones del amor sensual: el amor idealizado, el amor ponderado y el amor patológico. Y a través de la mordacidad, el sutil sentido del humor, la profundidad, y un omnipresente sentido poético se van desgranando las distintas partes de esa tesis infinita que constituyen las relaciones humanas, con todas sus complejas implicaciones.

Un hombre atrapado en la rutina de una vida estable, sin riesgos, pero infeliz, recibe la visita de su yo interior a las 3: 30 de una noche cualquiera, y le asegura que todo va a estar bien. Es un fenómeno al que los hindúes llaman brahma muhurta. A partir de ese momento, todos los días a la misma hora la voz le va orientando sobre cómo hacer que llegue su verdadero destino, ese que él internamente siente que le colmaría. Para lograrlo, hay que seguir un proceso de transformación: dar las gracias por todo lo bueno que se recibe, eliminar de la mente aquello que no esté en nuestro camino de superación, preparar el cuerpo y el espíritu para recibir los beneficios esperados. En el camino, y no importa cuánto nos duela ni cuántas dudas nos asalten, no podemos flaquear, dejarnos arrastrar por la comodidad de nuestro pasado, hemos de persistir hacia la meta. Si lo hacemos, como el protagonista de esta novela, alcanzaremos al fin el destino brillante para el que fuimos concebidos.

Jazz is the most colorful and varied art form in the world and it was born in one of the most colorful and varied cities, New Orleans. From the seed first planted by slave dances held in Congo Square and nurtured by early ensembles led by Buddy Belden and Joe "King" Oliver, jazz began its long winding odyssey across America and around the world, giving flower to a thousand different forms--swing, bebop, cool jazz, jazz-rock fusion--and a thousand great musicians. Now, in The History of Jazz, Ted Gioia tells the story of this music as it has never been told before, in a book that brilliantly portrays the legendary jazz players, the breakthrough styles, and the world in which it evolved. Here are the giants of jazz and the great moments of jazz history--Jelly Roll Morton ("the world's greatest hot tune writer"), Louis Armstrong (whose O-keh recordings of the mid-1920s still stand as the most significant body of work that jazz has produced), Duke Ellington at the Cotton Club, cool jazz greats such as Gerry Mulligan, Stan Getz, and Lester Young, Charlie Parker's surgical precision of attack, Miles Davis's 1955 performance at the Newport Jazz Festival, Ornette Coleman's experiments with atonality, Pat Metheny's visionary extension of jazz-rock fusion, the contemporary sounds of Wynton Marsalis, and the post-modernists of the Knitting Factory. Gioia provides the reader with lively portraits of these and many other great musicians, intertwined with vibrant commentary on the music they created. Gioia also evokes the many worlds of jazz, taking the reader to the swamp lands of the Mississippi Delta, the bawdy houses of New Orleans, the rent parties of Harlem, the speakeasies of Chicago during the Jazz Age, the after hours spots of corrupt Kansas city, the Cotton Club, the Savoy, and the other locales where the history of jazz was made. And as he traces the spread of this protean form, Gioia provides much insight into the social context in which the music was born. He shows for instance how the development of technology helped promote the growth of jazz--how ragtime blossomed hand-in-hand with the spread of parlor and player pianos, and how jazz rode the growing popularity of the record industry in the 1920s. We also discover how bebop grew out of the racial unrest of the 1940s and '50s, when black players, no longer content with being "entertainers," wanted to be recognized as practitioners of a serious musical form. Jazz is a chameleon art, delighting us with the ease and rapidity with which it changes colors. Now, in Ted Gioia's The History of Jazz, we have at last a book that captures all these colors on one glorious palate. Knowledgeable, vibrant, and comprehensive, it is among the small group of books that can truly be called classics of jazz literature.

Her first collection That Winter (Bloodaxe, 1986) was shortlisted for the Commonwealth Poetry Prize.

The Renaissance was a time of immense change in the social, political, economic, intellectual, and artistic arenas of the Western world.The cultural construction of the human body occupied a pivotal role in those transformations. The social and cultural meanings of embodiment revolutionized the intellectual, political, and emotional ideologies of the period. Covering the period from 1400 to 1650, this volume examines the flexible and shifting categories of the body at an unparalleled time of growth in geographical exploration, science, technology, and commerce. A Cultural History of the Human Body in the Renaissance presents an overview of the period with essays on the centrality of the human body in birth and death, health and disease, sexuality, beauty and concepts of the ideal, bodies marked by gender, race, class and disease, cultural representations and popular beliefs, and self and society.

In his Problemata, Aristotle provided medieval thinkers with the occasion to inquire into the natural causes of the sexual desires of men to act upon or be acted upon by other men, thus bringing human sexuality into the purview of natural philosophers, whose aim it was to explain the causes of objects and events in nature. With this philosophical justification, some late medieval intellectuals asked whether such dispositions might arise from anatomy or from the psychological processes of habit formation. As the fourteenth-century philosopher Walter Burley observed, "Nothing natural is shameful." The authors, scribes, and readers willing to "contemplate base things" never argued that they were not vile, but most did share the conviction that they could be explained. From the evidence that has survived in manuscripts of and related to the Problemata, two narratives emerge: a chronicle of the earnest attempts of medieval medical theorists and natural philosophers to understand the cause of homosexual desires and pleasures in terms of natural processes, and an ongoing debate as to whether the sciences were equipped or permitted to deal with such subjects at all. Mining hundreds of texts and deciphering commentaries, indices, abbreviations, and marginalia, Joan Cadden shows how European scholars deployed a standard set of philosophical tools and a variety of rhetorical strategies to produce scientific approaches to sodomy.
