Who Killed My Father is the story of a tough guy – the story of the little boy I never was. The story of my father. ‘What a beautiful book’ MAX PORTER In Who Killed My Father, Édouard Louis explores key moments in his father’s life, and the tenderness and disconnects in their relationship. Told with the fire of a writer determined on social justice, and with the compassion of a loving son, the book urgently and brilliantly engages with issues surrounding masculinity, class, homophobia, shame and social poverty. It unflinchingly takes aim at systems that disadvantage those they seek to exclude – those who have their expectations, hopes and passions crushed by a society which gives them little thought. ‘Édouard Louis is the vanguard of France’s new generation of political writers’ Evening Standard

Un repaso a la historia política francesa de los últimos años. Otra novela dura, crítica y demoledora de Édouard Louis. Consolidado como el nuevo enfant terrible de las letras francesas gracias al impacto de obras tan singulares como Para acabar con Eddy Bellegueule e Historia de la violencia, dos libros de tintes marcadamente autobiográficos que anticipaban la irrupción de la ultraderecha en Francia y sus nefastas consecuencias, Édouard Louis vuelve a la carga con un j'accuse tan breve como demoledor acerca de las desigualdades sociales del país, que es, a la vez y sobre todo, un ejercicio de reconciliación muy emotivo con su padre moribundo. Grito airado contra el abandono y el desprecio de los políticos hacia las clases trabajadoras más desfavorecidas, este libro combina retazos íntimos de una tormentosa relación paternofilial fracturada por la vergüenza, la pobreza y la homofobia, con mordaces y específicas denuncias de los salvajes recortes impulsados por los sucesivos gobiernos de Chirac, Sarkozy, Hollande y Macron, a los que el autor acusa, como mínimo, de homicidio complaciente. Éxito fulminante de ventas y de crítica, llevado a los escenarios con enorme repercusión, traducido a numerosos idiomas y rodeado de una gran expectación mediática por su carga de profundidad contra los poderes públicos, este lacerante testimonio personal se ha convertido en un texto de referencia para quienes, como los «chalecos amarillos», no quieren pertenecer a esa categoría de seres humanos a los que, como al padre de Louis, «la política tiene reservada una muerte prematura».

This book takes a new look at the place occupied by medieval Spanish epic within European folk and literary tradition. Thomas Montgomery traces the origins of key parts of most known medieval Spanish epics to an ancient myth. He shows how the myth of the initiation of the young warrior, shown by Georges Dum&ézil to be fundamental to the belief systems of widely distributed Indo-European peoples, was variously adapted to shape the action of texts including the Siete Infantes de Lara, the Mocedades de Rodrigo, and the Poema de Mio Cid, in which it accounts for the peculiar behavior of the Infantes de Carri&ón. Montgomery also connects the same mythic tradition to works as diverse as Tristan and the Chanson de Roland. In a preliterate society, the oral presentation of this archetypal lore required a special language capable of re-creating the ritualized behavior of the epic characters and maintaining the ceremonial tone of the performance. Focusing on the Poema de Mio Cid, Montgomery examines the ways in which the poetic language worked to evoke a feeling of group unity that absorbed the audience and still works its spell upon today's readers.

This study offers an introduction to an important branch of Spanish literature -- the romance, or ballad. Although a great many of these poems have been translated into English by various authors, they are not generally known nor easily accessible. Collected here for the first time in a single volume is a broad and representative sampling of romances in translation that encompasses historical ballads (including those about Spain's greatest folk hero, el Cid), Moorish ballads, and ballads of chivalry, love, and adventure. For the collection, Shasta M. Bryant has written a perceptive commentary and critique in which he discusses the individual poems and compares the translation with the original; both texts are presented to facilitate comparison. For those who wish to pursue their reading further there is an index of romances that have been translated into English, along with the names of the translators. Although the text has been written with the non-specialist in mind, this book will be equally valuable for students of comparative literature and of medieval Spain.

Violence And Piety In Spanish Folklore written by Timothy J. Mitchell and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 1988 with Social Science categories.
In this innovative book, Timothy J. Mitchell examines how Spanish cultural creations reflect the extraordinary fusion of violence and religiosity that has shaped Spanish' history. Using legends, rituals, fiestas, folk poetry, and popular drama, Mitchell demonstrates that crises of one kind or another lie behind Spanish moral codes and honor codes alike. Significantly, the intense devotion Spaniards feel for their patron saints is inseparable from magical procedures for the eradication of "enemies"-- the witch, the Moor, the Jew. Mitchell contends that patently unjust rites of popular justice, for example mock executions of Judas, can paradoxically evolve to include elements of confession, grace, and moral progress. Elaborating such insights into provocative theory of the Spanish cultural "style," Mitchell reveals the structural unity of a wide range of popular creations -- the bullfight, Holy Week processions, the legend of Rodrigo, the myth of Don Juan, the cult of the Virgin. He draws upon recent advances in social psychology to dismantle the misconceptions that surround these well-known features of Spanish civilization. Throughout the book, Mitchell illustrates his points with relevant and lively selections of Spanish folk poetry accompanied by clear English translations. Violence and Piety in Spanish Folklore will be of interest to students and teachers of Spanish history and culture, folklore, anthropology, and religious studies -- Book jacket.

It is no accident that some variation of the question 'What should I do?' appears in over three-quarters of the comedic plays of the Spanish Golden Age. Casuistical dialogue was a concern, even an obsession, of Spanish playwrights during the seventeenth century, many of whom were educated by Jesuit casuists. Conscience on Stage is a study of casuistry or case morality as the foundation for a poetics of seventeenth-century Spanish >em>comedias. Hilaire Kallendorf examines the Jesuit upbringing and casuistical education of major playwrights of the Spanish Golden Age, many of whom were also priests, and introduces the vocabulary of casuistry, as expressed in both confessors' manuals and in stage plays. Engaging issues of class, gender, and age to explore scenes of advice-giving and receiving, she demonstrates how the culture-specific construct of 'conscience' in early modern Spain can be recovered by means of a Foucauldian genealogy, which enlists the skills of philology at the service of a larger vision of the history of ideas. This study outlines and reiterates the relationship of theatre to casuistry, the Jesuit contributions to Spanish literary theory and practice, and the importance of casuistry for the study of early modern subjectivity.
