MadridRío
From 2007 to 2011 an urban transformation process has been carried out within the course of the Manzanares through the city as its backbone. The main objective of the project has been quality of life for the citizen. The result is that henceforth we can say, once again, that Madrid has a river. This edition offers us a close-up view of the urban transformation process that the MadridRío project has involved. An extensive selection of texts written by engineers, town planners, architects and historians reflects the multifaceted nature of this urban adventure. Likewise, a carefully selected gallery of large format images offers us a spectacular view of the river’s past and its metamorphosis as we discover how this project has changed the city and the life of its citizens.

Totalitarian Dictatorship
This volume takes a comparative approach, locating totalitarianism in the vastly complex web of fragmented pasts, diverse presents and differently envisaged futures to enhance our understanding of this fraught era in European history. It shows that no matter how often totalitarian societies spoke of and imagined their subjects as so many slates to be wiped clean and re-written on, older identities, familial loyalties and the enormous resilience of the individual (or groups of individuals) meant that the almost impossible demands of their regimes needed to be constantly transformed, limited and recast.
Quixotic Modernists
Quixotic Modernists gives close readings of two novels by two little-studied writers of the early twentieth century in Spain, Felipe Trigo's Las ingenuas (1901) and Maria Martinez Sierra's Tu eres la paz (1906), in relation to the canonical Tristana by Benito Perez Galdos, Spain's greatest nineteenth-century novelist. This study shows the modern message (regarding gender), and modernist qualities of the prose of these works. Included are discussions of Quijote intertexts, proverbial language and tactics, the angel and the mujer-nina, flower, water, and animal imagery, and visual arts in relation to gender definition. Also included are contemporary responses to the novels and material about the authors' lives and Spain's social conditions in the early twentieth century. Quixotic Modernists integrates these themes into a study of the novelization of difficulties in transforming contemporary gender and class roles. In all three authors' works, this process of change in roles for both men and women becomes a quixotic enterprise, in which artists as/and characters search to reconnect with an elusive material, social body.
