Estudios jurídicos en homenaje al profesor don José María Castán Vázquez
Bien es sabido que “cuando dejemos este mundo, no podremos llevarnos nada que hayamos recibido; solo lo que hayamos dado” (San Francisco de Asís). Este libro da buena cuenta de lo mucho que José María Castán dio. La rica y atractiva respuesta que tantos amigos han ofrecido a una propuesta de modesto homenaje así lo pone de manifiesto. Toda su vida la dedicó José María Castán al estudio del Derecho y, durante treinta años, a enseñarlo en su Universidad Pontificia Comillas, en ICADE. Numerosas publicaciones y conferencias mostraron que su inquietud jurídica no se detuvo en su querido Derecho de Familia, ni siquiera, en el Derecho civil. Por esta razón, especialistas de distintos ámbitos del Derecho (administrativo, constitucional, mercantil, penal, procesal, Historia del Derecho o Teoría del Derecho) que compartimos, como profesores o como alumnos, su labor universitaria, hemos querido ofrecer a través de este libro un merecido reconocimiento. José María, maestro de muchos y amigo de todos, gracias por todo lo que nos has dado.
Voicing Dissent in Seventeenth-Century Spain
Although the Spanish Inquisition looms large in many conceptions of the early modern Hispanic world, relatively few studies have been made of the Spanish state and Inquisition’s approach to book censorship in the seventeenth century. Merging archival and rare book research with a case study of the fiction of Baltasar Gracián, this book argues that privileged authors, like the Jesuit Gracián, circumvented publication strictures that were meant to ensure that printed materials conformed to the standards of Catholicism and supported the goals of the absolute monarchy. In contrast to some elite authors who composed readily transparent critiques of authorities and encountered difficulties with the state and Inquisition, others, like Gracián, made their criticisms covertly in complicated texts like El Criticón.
The Infatuations
The Infatuations is a metaphysical murder mystery and a stunningly original literary achievement by Javier Marías, the internationally acclaimed author of A Heart So White and Your Face Tomorrow. Every day, María Dolz stops for breakfast at the same café. And every day she enjoys watching a handsome couple who follow the same routine. Then one day they aren't there, and she feels obscurely bereft. It is only later, when she comes across a newspaper photograph of the man, lying stabbed in the street, his shirt half off, that she discovers who the couple are. Some time afterwards, when the woman returns to the café with her children, who are then collected by a different man, and Maria app...
The Refracted Muse
Galileo never set foot on the Iberian Peninsula, yet, as Enrique García Santo-Tomás unfolds in The Refracted Muse, the news of his work with telescopes brought him to surprising prominence—not just among Spaniards working in the developing science of optometry but among creative writers as well. While Spain is often thought to have taken little notice of the Scientific Revolution, García Santo-Tomás tells a different story, one that reveals Golden Age Spanish literature to be in close dialogue with the New Science. Drawing on the work of writers such as Cervantes, Lope de Vega, Calderón de la Barca, and Quevedo, he helps us trace the influence of science and discovery on the rapidly developing and highly playful genre of the novel. Indeed, García Santo-Tomás makes a strong case that the rise of the novel cannot be fully understood without taking into account its relationship to the scientific discoveries of the period.
