Título : AND WHEN DIDI YOU LAST SEE YOUR FATHER Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: MORRISON, BLAKE, Autor Editorial: LONDON : GRANTA BOOKS Fecha de publicación: 1998 Número de páginas: 219p ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-1-86207-093-6 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: BIOGRAPHY  MEMOIRS Resumen: And when did you last see your father? Was it last weekend or last Christmas? Was it before or after he exhaled his last breath? And was it him really, or was it a version of him, shaped by your own expectations and disappointments? Blake Morrison's subject is universal: the life and death of a parent, a father at once beloved and exasperating, charming and infuriating, domineering and terribly vulnerable. In reading about Dr. Arthur Morrison, we come to ask ourselves the same searching questions that Blake Morrison poses: Can we ever see our parents as themselves, or are they forever defined through a child's eyes? What are the secrets of their lives, and why do they spare us that knowledge? And when they die, what do they take with them that cannot be recovered or inherited?

PAINTER TO THE KING / AMY SACKVILLE

Título : PAINTER TO THE KING Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: AMY SACKVILLE, Autor Editorial: LONDON : GRANTA BOOKS Fecha de publicación: 2018 Número de páginas: 319 PP ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-1-78378-390-8 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: HISTORICAL FICTION Resumen: This is a portrait of Diego Velazquez, from his arrival at the court of King Philip IV of Spain, to his death 38 years and scores of paintings later. It is a portrait of a relationship that is not quite a friendship, between an artist and his subject. It is a portrait of a ruler, always on duty, and increasingly burdened by a life of public expectation and repeated private grief. And it is a portrait of a court collapsing under the weight of its own excess. Unfolding through series of masterly set-pieces and glancing sketches, this is a novel of brilliance, imagination and sheer style -- about what is shown and what is seen, about art and life.

STRAW DOGS / GRAY, JOHN

Título : STRAW DOGS : THOUGHTS ON HUMANS AND OTHER ANIMALS Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: GRAY, JOHN, Autor Editorial: LONDON : GRANTA BOOKS Fecha de publicación: 2002 Número de páginas: 246 PP ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-1-86207-596-2 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: PHILOSOPHY  PHILOSOPHICAL ANTHROPOLOGY  HUMAN BEING Resumen: The British bestseller Straw Dogs is an exciting, radical work of philosophy, which sets out to challenge our most cherished assumptions about what it means to be human. From Plato to Christianity, from the Enlightenment to Nietzsche and Marx, the Western tradition has been based on arrogant and erroneous beliefs about human beings and their place in the world. Philosophies such as liberalism and Marxism think of humankind as a species whose destiny is to transcend natural limits and conquer the Earth. John Gray argues that this belief in human difference is a dangerous illusion and explores how the world and human life look once humanism has been finally abandoned. The result is an exhilarating, sometimes disturbing book that leads the reader to question our deepest-held beliefs. Will Self, in the New Statesman, called Straw Dogs his book of the year: "I read it once, I read it twice and took notes . . . I thought it that good." "Nothing will get you thinking as much as this brilliant book"
