Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - In the summer of 1959, Ernest Hemingway returned to Spain with the certainty that he was about to witness something unrepeatable. It was not merely a bullfighting season; it was a classical drama -- a struggle of pride, blood, art, and destiny. In the arenas, Luis Miguel Dominguín and Antonio Ordóñez vied for supremacy in the world of bullfighting. At home, they shared a table and family ties; in the ring, honor was at stake. Hemingway, fascinated by the bravery and raw truth of the bull, found in that duel the subject for his final great work set in Spain. Dominguín: powerful, brilliant, the master of the spectacle. Ordóñez: pure, upright, tragic in his total self-surrender. Two irreconcilable styles; two distinct ways of understanding art and existence. Every pass was a declaration. Every thrust of the sword, a challenge. With narrative verve and historical rigor, this book reconstructs that fierce summer -- the very season that inspired the chronicles the Nobel laureate would later publish under the title The Dangerous Summer. Yet it reaches far beyond the clash in the arena: it delves into the private lives of the protagonists, into their family tensions, and into a Spain that was awakening from tradition and forging a path toward modernity -- as well as into the increasingly somber gaze of a Hemingway who was, himself, waging his own internal battle. A story of glory and of goring wounds. Of broken loyalties and profound admiration. The summer in which bullfighting attained the stature of universal tragedy -- and literature was written in sand, sweat, and blood. …

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The Tradition of Freedom is one of the most illuminating books by Dalmacio Negro, a thinker who understood freedom not as a slogan, but as a way of being in the world. In these pages, the reader discovers that political freedom is born of something that predates any constitution or system: a living fabric of customs, consciousness, and self-government that for centuries sustained free societies. FREEDOM WILT WHEN WE FORGET WHERE IT COMES FROM Dalmacio Negro examines the pre-political substrate from which classical liberalism emerged: not as a doctrine, but as a prudent attitude toward power and a demanding one toward personal responsibility. In the face of modern simplifications, he shows how freedom only exists where judgment remains alive. The book analyzes the concentration of power, the advance of ideologies, and the emergence of the protective state, a tutelary power that offers security and well-being in exchange for guiding conscience. This new edition appears after the death of Dalmacio Negro (1931-2024), one of the most original and demanding voices in contemporary Spanish political thought. Reading it is especially necessary today in a context marked by the expansion of forms of tutelary power, the fragility of personal judgment, and the growing delegation of responsibility. Far from offering easy solutions or ideological recipes, it invites the reader to recover a realistic understanding of freedom, rooted in historical tradition, in the limits of power, and in the dignity of human judgment.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Who were the monks who, from the deserts of Egypt, gave rise to a life devoted entirely to prayer And what about those medieval communities that preserved ancient knowledge in their scriptoria and supported the poorest Why, in the 21st century, are so many people turning their gaze to monasteries that for centuries were places of silence For more than a thousand years, the figure of the monk--hermit, cenobite, or preaching friar--was essential to the history of Europe. From the powerful Cluniacs to the austere Cistercians, from the Franciscans who revolutionized preaching to the 19th-century congregations that restored hope to the forgotten, consecrated life shaped the spirituality, culture, and social landscape of the West. Monasteries preserved manuscripts, promoted agriculture, ran infirmaries, and exercised a discreet charity that transformed entire communities. Today, when the cultural and spiritual pillars of Europe are being shaken by relativism and the loss of reference points, there is growing interest in these men and women who embraced simplicity, discipline, and contemplation. Perhaps this is because today's human beings, tired of haste and uncertainty, are once again seeking meaning where the spiritual history of our civilization was forged. In these pages, Javier Martínez-Pinna takes us on a fascinating journey: from the desert fathers to St. Benedict, St. Francis, St. Teresa, and the modern congregations that, with humility and dedication, have sustained the soul of the West. A necessary work for understanding our past. and our most intimate questions. 'Those who do not know Christianity, and therefore Catholicism, will never be able to understand the history of the West.' Javier Sádaba, philosopher and theologian. 'An essential book for putting an end to the great prejudices against the Catholic Church and for seeing how the truth of history shines through once the main clichés against it are dispelled.' Javier Navascués, Infocatólica.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The Lorca case largely encapsulates the set of tensions that led to the fratricidal spiral of the Spanish Civil War. The investigation conducted by journalist Eduardo Molina Fajardo into the final days of García Lorca vividly documents how those fatal ingredients came to play out. This book is considered, along with Agustín Peñón's, the most accurate account, full of information and precise details regarding the vicissitudes of the final days of the poet Federico García Lorca until his fatal end: his last month of life, his arrest, imprisonment, transfers, and the circumstances we can ascertain regarding his execution. With an analytical and clarifying approach regarding the possible responsibilities of the individuals involved, Molina Fajardo provides a wealth of virtually irrefutable documentation, including letters, communiques, circulars, and a substantial series of interviews with all those involved, including those who, until this book, had maintained a stubborn and persistent silence. Regarding who was involved, the decision to end his life, the account of events and documentation offered by this book -- while not definitive, like none of the literary investigations undertaken -- is nonetheless absolutely essential for reaching any conclusion. In any case, it is a book that has largely underpinned much of what has been written, since its first publication in 1983, on this central case in contemporary Spanish history.…
