Описание: An insight into the brutal and beautiful life of Cuban writer Reinaldo Arenas, detailing his struggles with homosexuality, censorship and political tumult.
Becoming Reinaldo Arenas explores the life and work of the Cuban writer Reinaldo Arenas (1943–1990), who emerged on the Latin American cultural scene in the 1960s and quickly achieved literary fame. Yet as a political dissident and an openly gay man, Arenas also experienced discrimination and persecution; he produced much of his work amid political controversy and precarious living conditions. In 1980, having survived ostracism and incarceration in Cuba, he arrived in the United States during the Mariel boatlift. Ten years later, after struggling with poverty and AIDS in New York, Arenas committed suicide.
Through insightful close readings of a selection of Arenas's works, including unpublished manuscripts and correspondence, Olivares examines the writer's personal, political, and artistic trajectory, focusing on his portrayals of family, sexuality, exile, and nostalgia. He documents Arenas's critical engagement with cultural and political developments in revolutionary Cuba and investigates the ways in which Arenas challenged literary and national norms. Olivares's analysis shows how Arenas drew on his life experiences to offer revealing perspectives on the Cuban Revolution, the struggles of Cuban exiles, and the politics of sexuality.
Автор: Reinaldo J. Bernal Velasquez Название: E-Physicalism: A Physicalist Theory of Phenomenal Consciousness ISBN: 3110325578 ISBN-13(EAN): 9783110325577 Издательство: Walter de Gruyter Цена: 173490.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: This work advances a theory in the metaphysics of phenomenal consciousness, which the author labels “e-physicalism”. Firstly, he endorses a realist stance towards consciousness and physicalist metaphysics. Secondly, he criticises Strong AI and functionalist views, and claims that consciousness has an internal character. Thirdly, he discusses HOT theories, the unity of consciousness, and holds that the “explanatory gap” is not ontological but epistemological. Fourthly, he argues that consciousness is not a supervenient but an emergent property, not reducible and endowed with original causal powers, with respect to the micro-constituents of the conscious entity. Fifthly, he addresses the “zombie argument” and the “supervenience argument” within the e-physicalism framework. Finally, he elaborates on the claim that phenomenal properties are physical and discusses the “knowledge argument”.
In The Double Life of Fidel Castro, one of Castro's soldiers of seventeen years breaks his silence and shares his memoirs of his years of service, his eventual imprisonment and torture for displeasing the notorious dictator, and his dramatic escape from Cuba.
Responsible for protecting the L der M ximo for two decades, Juan Reinaldo S nchez was party to his secret life: from the ghost town in which guerrillas from several continents were trained; to Castro's immense personal fortune, including a huge property portfolio, a secret paradise island, and seizure of public money; as well as his relationship with his family and his nine children from five different partners.
S nchez's tell-all expos reveals countless state secrets and the many sides of the Cuban monarch: genius war leader in Nicaragua and Angola, paranoid autocrat at home, master spy, Machiavellian diplomat, and accomplice to drug traffickers. This extraordinary testimony makes us reexamine everything we thought we knew about the Cuban story and Fidel Castro Ruz.

Описание: I know that you're facing a crisis, your eyes tell me so. With these simple words from an old song, renowned writer and pastor Dante Gebel takes listeners on a journey to the desert of trials in the 22nd chapter of the book of Genesis. The Sands of the Soul is dedicated to everyone who has traveled through this desert on a personal, ministerial, or spiritual level and has wondered where they went wrong and why they find themselves walking in the midst of the desolate moorland. This work takes on the hollow places of the soul and, surprisingly, leads the listener toward a celestial ovation. The Sands of the Soul paradoxically manages to put a smile on your face while helping you consider yourself God's friend, even in the midst of crises.

Описание: Teatru Manoel is a historical monument of global importance and a living temple of the performing arts. Built in 1731 by order of Grand Master Antonio Manoel de Vilhena, whose name it still bears, it remains today one of the finest examples of theater architecture in Europe. Named as one of the 15 most beautiful theaters by CNN in May 2014, the Manoel is also one of the oldest 'working' theaters in the world and is Malta's national theater. As incumbent custodians of this priceless gem, it is our responsibility not only to preserve and enhance it but also to sustain its relevance for the present and above all, the future. This book aims to present the many other facets that make up the institution that is the Manoel. First and foremost there is the theater's role in the cultural environment of Malta as well as Europe. Secondly, there is the rich and chequered history of this 283-year-old building which has survived plagues, invasions, blockades, stiff competition, wars and economic downturns with a detailed account of the changes it has undergone both to its architecture and internal decor. Thirdly, and of no less importance, are the thousands of artistic productions that have involved great, renowned and not-so-renowned artists from every performing arts genre that have, over the centuries, graced its stage. Furthermore, this book, which covers the history, the architectural changes, the performers and performances over so many decades to date, ensures that this theater's unparalleled contribution to Malta's cultural scene is acknowledged, appreciated and documented.

Описание: Reinaldo Arenas is one of the leading Cuban writers of the twentieth century. He was born in Havana, Cuba, in 1943. From 1974 to1976 he was incarcerated in the El Morro prison in Havana. He left Cuba in 1980 via the Mariel Boatlift along with125,000 other Cubans who were opposed to the ruling regime in Cuba. He settled in New York where he obtained the Cintas and Guggenheim fellowships, as well as the award for best foreign novelist published in France in 1989. On Friday, December 7, 1990, he ended his life. In a letter sent to the Horacio Aguirre, director of the Spanish newspaper Diario LasAmericas in Miami, he explained his reasons. The main reason was that due to his illness, he was unable to continue fighting for the freedom of Cuba. Among his major works are the novels: Celestino antes del alba, El mundo alucinante, El color del verano (for many this is his most important work), El Asalto, Adi s a Mam , and a few more. In this book, five plays are united under one unifying theme: persecution. Cruel, experimental, casual, ironic and poetic, this book besides being, first and foremost, a work of art, is also an insight into the eternal duality that seems to characterize a human being: his status, both sublime and terrible that makes him the victim or the victimizer. As with many of his other books, this work is satirical (and therefore critical) of the current Cuban regime.
