In Conflict in Fourteenth-Century Iberia, Kagay and Villalon trace the complicated economic military, political, and social background of the relationship of Iberia’s two greatest Christian states of the fourteenth century, Castile and the Crown of Aragon and their rulers, Pedro I (r. 1350-1366/69) and Pere III (r. 1336-1387). Besides chapters discussing the War of the Two Pedros (1356-1366) and the Castilian Civil War (1366-1369), the authors provide extended treatments of the strategical and tactical elements of the conflicts, the parliamentary, diplomatic, and governmental developments that occurred because of the conflicts as well as their social and political aftermaths. This work, along with authors’ earlier book on the battle of Nájera (1367) provides a much-needed review of Iberia’s violent fourteenth century.

El presente libro tiene como objeto el análisis de los cuentos de José Martínez Ruiz. Se inicia el mismo con un estudio de la poética de la narración breve del propio autor. Siguiendo su concepción del cuento literario - tan susceptible de cambios con el correr de los años- y de la que nos dieron prestigiosos azorinistas, hemos llegado a delimitar un corpus que supera los seiscientos relatos. El análisis de los mismos, a través de las distintas- y aun distantes- etapas de la obra de Azorín, nos muestra a un escritor que conocía muy bien la tradición cuentística, tanto española, como extranjera. Pero, sobre todo, nos descubre a un artista que, adelantándose a su tiempo, fue capaz de trazar nuevos y arriesgados caminos por los que hoy deambula el cuento contemporáneo.
