Los Encuentros


Book Description

El contenido de este libro es extremadamente complicado pero fácil de entender. Los temas están divididos en quince encuentros conversacionales entre un profesor universitario retirado y un joven estudiante. Ambos desarrollan una amistad extraordinaria y los temas tratados revelan que hay un misterio espiritual en un lugar no circunscrito y no antes explorado en nuestra vida. Debemos entender que como resultado de nuestras experiencias adquiridas todos tenemos una forma de pensar, de actuar y ver la vida. Por esta razón, es posible que alguno de los temas tratados entre en conflicto con la manera de pensar que hasta ahora hayas tenido. Pero al analizarlos, y entenderlos estos se incorporan a nuestro conocimiento creando cambios de ideas y los conflictos intelectuales se desvanecen. Entonces despertamos a un nuevo amanecer. Seremos felices, prospero, tendremos abundancia, buenas amistades, salud y energía para controlar el dolor, suprimir enfermedades y todo aquello en la mayoría de las veces te maltrata y te abusa. La decisión de explorar esa nueva realidad, constituye el primer paso hacia la iluminación. Aumentaras tu conocimiento y cambiaras tu manera de pensar y ver la vida. Porque, "cuando la mente conoce, al cuerpo no le queda otra cosa que cambiar". El camino resultara muy agradable y comprenderás que "lo importante no es llegar si no que vas de camino"

Studies in Philology


Book Description

Linguistics, Literature and Cultural Studies are the three main research areas within Philology. Scientific production, such as conferences and journals, has tended towards specialization, and has been traditionally classified according to separate disciplines and languages. However, this volume offers a holistic view of the wide area of Philology, therefore allowing the permeability of the three areas mentioned above. As such, this book shows that the line that separates Linguistics, Literature and Cultural Studies is actually very thin. This volume is composed of a miscellanea of philological studies dealing with various trends in Modern Language research. It looks at three languages in particular: Spanish, English and French, with a special relevance to the first two.
