Los diversos formatos en los que el ser humano ha materializado la escritura –el papiro, el pergamino, el papel e, incluso, una hoja de procesador de textos– poseen una naturaleza fungible. Infinitas amenazas salen al paso del soporte de lo artístico: el olvido que conlleva el devenir temporal, las catástrofes imprevistas (como los incendios de bibliotecas, un virus informático) y las destrucciones intencionales conforman un breve muestrario. A pesar de todo, se dijo de la poesía que era “más perenne que el bronce”, que podría durar más que las estatuas o que las superficies exclusivas sobre las que se grababa un acontecimiento importante. En este libro se estudian el funciona...

"Teresa Lozano Long Institute of Latin American Studies."
More than Bombs and Bandages exposes the false assumption that military nurses only nursed. Based on author Kirsty Harris' CEW Bean Prize winning PhD thesis, this is a book that is far removed from the 'devotion to duty' stereotyping offering an intriguing and sometimes gut wrenching insight into the Australian Army Nursing Service (AANS) during World War I.

"Frederico Garcia Lorca, one of the outstanding poets and dramatists of this century, was murdered at the age of thirty-eight by Nationalist rebels in his native Granada on the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War in 1936. Since then the Franco regime has sought consistently to prevent the world from knowing how Lorca died, and a tissue of lies and misrepresentations has been woven around both the great poet's death and those of the thousands of ohter Republican supporters executed in Granada. In this book Ian Gibson, who has spent many years researching the subject, marvellously evokes the background to the repression and, in a carefully-documented study, describes the reign of terror that caused the deaths of so mant Spaniards--a story that has never fully been told before. His account of Lorca's arrest and death is the result of meticulous investigation, involving the tracking down of dozens of people concerned in the events surrounding the poet's last days, many of whom were directly implicated in the many Granada killings. This important book, established conclusively how Lorca died. It is no wonder that the book is banned in Spain"--dust jacket.
