Striking, inexplicable stories circulate among the people of Nuevo León in northern Mexico. Stories of conversos (converted Jews) who fled the Inquisition in Spain and became fabulously wealthy in Mexico. Stories of women and children buried in walls and under houses. Stories of an entire, secret city hidden under modern-day Monterrey. All these stories have no place or corroboration in the official histories of Nuevo León. In this pioneering ethnography, Marie Theresa Hernández explores how the folktales of Nuevo León encode aspects of Nuevolenese identity that have been lost, repressed, or fetishized in "legitimate" histories of the region. She focuses particularly on stories regarding three groups: the Sephardic Jews said to be the "original" settlers of the region, the "disappeared" indigenous population, and the supposed "barbaric" society that persists in modern Nuevo León. Hernández's explorations into these stories uncover the region's complicated history, as well as the problematic and often fascinating relationship between history and folklore, between officially accepted "facts" and "fictions" that many Nuevoleneses believe as truth.

Art Song Composers of Spain: An Encyclopedia describes the wealth of vocal repertoire composed by 19th- and 20th-century Spanish song composers. More than 90 composers are discussed in detail with complete biographies, descriptions, and examples of the song literature, as well as comprehensive listings of stage works, books, recordings, compositions in non-vocal genres, and vocal repertoire. Opening with a thorough history of Spain and its political scene, author Suzanne Rhodes Draayer examines its relation to song composition and the impact on composers such as Fernando Sor, Sebasti_n de Iradier, Federico Garc'a Lorca, Manuel de Falla, and many others. Draayer discusses Spanish art song and its various types, its folksong influences, and the major and minor composers of each period. Beginning with Manuel Garc'a (b. 1775) and ending with Carmen Santiago de Meras (b. 1917), Draayer provides biographies of the composers, a discussion and analysis of songs available in print in the US, and a complete list of solo songs for each. Musical examples are given for 175 songs, demonstrating a variety of compositional techniques and lyrical text settings, and illustrating characteristics of orientalism (Moorish) and cante jondo (gypsy) elements, as well as influences such as the German lied and French mZlodie. The final chapter lists contemporary composers and considers the difficulties in researching music by women composers. Complete with a foreword by Nico Castel, a bibliography, and additional indexes, Art Song Composers of Spain proves the importance of the Spanish song as an essential part of vocal training and concert repertoire.

Russia, 1905. Behind the gates of the Karenin Palace, Sergei, son of Anna Karenina, meets Tolstoy in his dreams and finds reminders of his mother everywhere: the almost-living portrait that the Tsar intends to acquire and the opium-infused manuscripts she wrote just before her death, one of which opens a trapdoor to a wild feminist fairytale. Across the city, Clementine, an anarchist seamstress, and Father Gapón, the charismatic leader of the proletariat, tip the country ever closer to revolution. Boullosa lifts the voices of coachmen, sailors, maids, and seamstresses in this playful, polyphonic, and subversive revision of the Russian revolution, told through the lens of Tolstoy’s most beloved work.

"James Joyce, Roma e altre storie" descrive i mesi in cui scrittore irlandese James Joyce ("Ulisse", "Finnegans Wake", "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man"), ha vissuto a Roma, tra il 1906 e il 1907. E' un rendiconto degli incontri tra Joyce e il detective Herr David Mondine, delle lettere scritte dal Mr. Joyce al suo fratello Stanislaus e di un diario tenuto da Herr Mondine, che costruisce una coinvolgente narrazione di quei giorni. Joyce, frustrato dalla vita che conduceva a Trieste - allora parte dell'Impero d'Austria-Ungheria - fugge, con Miss Nora Barnacle, una moglie non sposata, e con il loro figlioletto Giorgio, a Roma per una nuova avventura pur detestando questa città così devota a un ritualismo volgare e a una smodata pompa liturgica. Mr. Joyce si aggirerà per la città di Roma come un spaesato visitatore catturato da luoghi che trova orribili e spettrali e che si accontenta di sostare piacevolmente in taverne e locande per mangiare e bere. Nel suo vagabondare Joyce tratteggia sovente affascinanti analogie tra la sua nativa Dublino e Roma, fra una città legata a vecchi e bizzarri miti e un'altra segnata da glorie mummificate tra maestose rovine e orribili edifici eretti in onore di un nuovo secolo. "Il libro è arricchito da ben 140 foto d'epoca che mostrano personaggi e luoghi frequentati da James Joyce e da Mr. Davide Mondine, il suo alter ego" +++ "James Joyce, Roma y otras Historias" describir los meses en que el autor irlandés James Joyce ("Ulises", "Finnegans Wake", "Retrato del Artista como un Hombre Joven") vivió en Roma, entre 1906 y 1907. Narraciones de los encuentros entre Mr. Joyce y el detective Herr David Mondine, y las cartas escritas por Mr. Joyce a su hermano Stanislaus, así como el diario escrito por el Sr. David Mondine constituyen una emocionante reconstrucción de esos días. Joyce se siente frustrado con su vida en Trieste -entonces parte de Austria-Hungría y hoy parte de Italia-así que, acompañado por su mujer Nora Barnacle y su pequeño hijo Giorgio, sale huyendo de esa ciudad puerto en el Adriático en busca de nuevas aventuras en Roma, esa capital tan Católica, a la que llega a aborrecer por su vulgar ritualismo e inmoderada pompa litúrgica. Mr. Joyce vaga como un nómada de corazón capturado por una ciudad que encuentra horrenda y fantasmal y pasa el tiempo en tabernas y hosterías, comiendo y bebiendo. El artista encuentra fascinantes similitudes entre su nativa Dublín y Roma, hija legítima de una ciudad de mitos viejos y glorias momificadas, establecida entre ruinas majestuosas y edificios ridículos erigidos en honor de un nuevo siglo. El libro se enriquece con unas 140 fotografías antiguas que muestran a personas y lugares frecuentados por James Joyce y el Sr. David Mondine, su alter ego.
