The Role of the Bishop in Late Antiquity
The role of the bishops in Late Antiquity is examined and analysed by an important and international cast of contributors.
Gregory of Nazianzus
This book brings together a new, original survey of the significance of Gregory's life and work with translations of eight beautiful and profound orations. Gregory of Nazianzus portrays a vivid picture of a fascinating character of vital importance who deserves to be regarded as the first true Christian humanist. The eight orations, each representing a different aspect of his writing, are examined alongside a selection of his shorter poems in verse translation, letters, and a translation of Gregory's own will. Author Brian Daley offers extensive commentary on the works translated and an ample bibliography. With an extensive introduction to Gregory's life, thought and writings, and including detailed notes, this study places Gregory in his correct historical context, and gives students access to a deeper understanding of this fascinating figure from the past.
The Ecumenical Legacy of the Cappadocians
This book brings the Cappadocian Fathers to life and explores their contributions to subsequent Christian thought. Melding together a thematic and individualized approach, the book examines Cappadocian thought in relation to Greek philosophy and the musings of other Christian thinkers of the time. The volume is unique in that it details the Cappadocian legacy upon the three central divisions of Christianity, rather than focusing on one confession. Providing a multifaceted assessment of the spirituality and beliefs of the fourth-century Church, contributors interweave historical studies into their philosophical and theological discussions. The volume draws together an international team of sc...
Ascent to Glory
Gabriel García Márquez’s novel One Hundred Years of Solitude seemed destined for obscurity upon its publication in 1967. The little-known author, small publisher, magical style, and setting in a remote Caribbean village were hardly the usual ingredients for success in the literary marketplace. Yet today it ranks among the best-selling books of all time. Translated into dozens of languages, it continues to enter the lives of new readers around the world. How did One Hundred Years of Solitude achieve this unlikely success? And what does its trajectory tell us about how a work of art becomes a classic? Ascent to Glory is a groundbreaking study of One Hundred Years of Solitude, from the mome...

Un crucero a Oriente
En Un crucero a Oriente, publicado por primera y única vez hasta ahora en 1929 (simultáneamente al viaje se habían publicado diversos sueltos o artículos breves en varios periódicos nacionales), el escritor santanderino Arturo Casanueva describe un crucero por el Mediterráneo en el que viajan distintas personalidades de la vida social y cultural de la España de finales de la Dictadura de Primo de Rivera, como el conde de Güel, Zita Polo, el marqués de Valdeiglesias, Perico Chicote y otros. La obra apareció después de que Casanueva fuera deportado a las Chafarinas durante la dictadura, junto a Francisco de Cossío y Jiménez de Asúa.
Gregory of Nazianzus on the Trinity and the Knowledge of God
Gregory of Nazianzus, a 4th-century bishop of Constantinople, receives relatively little attention from modern Western scholars, yet he is one of the most influential theologians in the history of Christian doctrine. As an advocate for the conceptual understanding of the Trinity, Gregory set precedents for the way his fellow and future Christians would perceive and worship God. Christopher A. Beeley presents the first comprehensive study in modern Western scholarship of Gregory's doctrine of the Trinity in the full range of his theological and practical vision of the Christian life.
Un viaje de ida y vuelta
El estallido y posterior desenlace de la Guerra Civil española provocó un viaje de ida y vuelta: algunas importantes editoriales españolas se trasladaron a Iberoamérica, junto con muchos de nuestros intelectuales más destacados, impulsando un despegue de este sector sobre todo en Argentina y México. Poco después, debido al colapso de la actividad editorial en España y a los efectos de la censura, las editoriales mexicanas y argentinas tomaron el relevo en la publicación en lengua española, instalándose luego, a partir de los años cincuenta, en nuestro país. Estos temas fueron estudiados y analizados en unas jornadas convocadas por la Sociedad Iberoamericana de Amigos del Libro y la Edición, que contó con la colaboración de la Fundación Carolina y la hospitalidad de la Casa de América, en cuya sede tuvieron lugar en septiembre de 2004. En este libro se recogen las ponencias e intervenciones que en aquella ocasión fueron expuestas.
