El deshabitado
Hay experiencias tan brutales, "golpes como del odio de Dios", que obligan a escribir sobre ellos.El sorpresivo e infame asesinato de mi hijo Juan Francisco y de sus seis amigos fue uno de esos golpes. Un relato de profunda consideración biográfica pero construido como una novela. Una novela de pérdida, duelo y rabia que pone sobre la mesa la ilusión de unos cuantos de cambiar el país con las prácticas de la clase política y sus claroscuros. Hay experiencias tan brutales, "golpes como del odio de Dios", que obligan a escribir sobre ellos. El sorpresivo e infame asesinato de mi hijo Juan Francisco y de sus seis amigos fue uno de esos golpes. Frente a él todas mis certezas y mi vida co...

A Wave
First published in 1984 and now appearing in a new edition, "A Wave is widely considered one of Ashbery's finest books of poetry. The 44 pieces collected here--particularly the long title-poem--find the poet applying his uniquely lyric, meditative, and often hilarious sensibility to the mysterious and incessant curves and crests of love, art, thought, experience, and selfhood.

Chinese Whispers
John Ashbery’s restless, witty meditation on aging and the music of change: A must-read collection from America’s greatest modern poet The child’s game Chinese Whispers, known in America as Telephone, is an exercise in transforming the recognizable into something beautifully strange. John Ashbery’s twenty-fourth collection of poems, Chinese Whispers, re-creates in every line the accidentally transformative logic of the language game for which the book is named. In sixty-three charged and often very funny poems, Ashbery confronts the relentlessness of age and time while demonstrating, in his unmistakable, self-reflexive style, the process by which a single thought unravels, multiplies, distends, travels, and finally arrives, changed and unfamiliar. First published in 2002, shortly after Ashbery’s seventy-fifth birthday, Chinese Whispers is a collection in which fairy tales, mysteries, and magic dollhouses interleave effortlessly with the everyday of pancakes and popular culture. Ashbery’s language is absolutely recognizable from modern life as it is experienced, but at the same time is as dreamlike and disquieting as intercepted transmissions from another world.

Dictionary of Arabic and Allied Loanwords
One of the main cultural consequences of the contacts between Islam and the West has been the borrowing of hundreds of words, mostly of Arabic but also of other important languages of the Islamic world, such as Persian, Turkish, Berber, etc. by Western languages. Such loanwords are particularly abundant and relevant in the case of the Iberian Peninsula because of the presence of Islamic states in it for many centuries; their study is very revealing when it comes to assess the impact of those states in the emergence and shaping of Western civilization. Some famous Arabic scholars, above all R. Dozy, have tackled this task in the past, followed by other attempts at increasing and improving his pioneering work; however, the progresses achieved during the last quarter of the 20th c., in such fields as Andalusi and Andalusi Romance dialectology and lexicology made it necessary to update all the available information on this topic and to offer it in English.
