Contemporary Fairy-Tale Magic
Contemporary Fairy-Tale Magic, edited by Lydia Brugué and Auba Llompart, studies the impact of fairy tales on contemporary cultures from an interdisciplinary perspective, with special emphasis on how literature and film are retelling classic fairy tales for modern audiences. We are currently witnessing a resurgence of fairy tales and fairy-tale characters and motifs in art and popular culture, as well as an increasing and renewed interest in reinventing and subverting these narratives to adapt them to the expectations and needs of the contemporary public. The collected essays also observe how the influence of academic disciplines like Gender Studies and current literary and cinematic trends play an important part in the revision of fairy-tale plots, characters and themes.

Pierde la Banca
Bankia y el reciente rescate a España han puesto al sector bancario en boca de todos, y no precisamente para bien. Desde el profundo conocimiento del negocio Miguel Ángel González va más allá de estos asuntos o de los ya muy conocidos errores asociados al sector inmobiliario, enumerando los fallos de gestión en los que han incurrido buena parte de nuestras entidades financieras. Pierde la banca pone de manifiesto que sus errores nacen de causas tan variadas y decisivas como una visión cortoplacista, el desenfoque del negocio, el desplazamiento del cliente como centro del mismo, los objetivos desmedidos e impuestos de forma indiscriminada a las sucursales, con las consecuencias negativas que todo ello conlleva para el usuario. Trata además de la intromisión de los políticos en las cajas de ahorros y su resultado: la ruina total o el riesgo de quiebra a la que las han llevado, o su salida airosa y bien pagada, lo que sin duda justifica la pérdida de imagen del sector. El libro deja claro, no obstante, que no todo el sector merece estar en entredicho. Muchos bancos y algunas cajas han hecho bien su trabajo.
The Cambridge Introduction to Spanish Poetry
The Cambridge Introduction to Spanish Poetry comprises an extended survey of poetry written in Spanish from the Middle Ages to the present day, including both Iberian and Latin American writing. This volume offers a non-chronological approach to the subject in order to highlight the continuity and persistence of genres and forms (epic, ballad, sonnet) and of themes and motifs (love, religious and moral poetry, satirical and pure poetry). It also supplies a thorough examination of the various interactions between author, text and reader. Containing abundant quotation, it gives a refreshing introduction to an impressive and varied body of poetry from two continents, and is an accessible and wide-ranging reference-work, designed specifically for use on undergraduate and taught graduate courses. The most comprehensive work of its kind available, it will be an invaluable resource for students and teachers alike.
