In Charlotte Brontë's 'Shirley (Unabridged)', readers are transported to the Yorkshire textile industry during the Industrial Revolution, where the protagonist, Shirley Keeldar, challenges societal norms and explores themes of gender roles, class struggle, and feminist ideals. Brontë's eloquent prose and vivid descriptions captivate the reader, immersing them in the harsh realities of the time while highlighting the strength and resilience of her characters. This novel showcases Brontë's deep understanding of human nature and her ability to create complex and relatable characters within a historical context. Charlotte Brontë, influenced by her own experiences as a governess and her observations of the social injustices of her time, wrote 'Shirley' as a means of advocating for women's rights and shedding light on the oppressive conditions faced by working-class individuals. Her bold and progressive views on gender equality and social reform shine through in the novel, making it a significant work in the literary canon. I highly recommend 'Shirley (Unabridged)' to readers interested in feminist literature, historical fiction, and classic Victorian novels. Brontë's powerful storytelling and thought-provoking themes make this novel a must-read for those seeking a deeper understanding of the struggles faced by women in the 19th century.

¿Qué obras de la literatura argentina han generado interés en directores extranjeros consagrados, como Michelangelo Antonioni, Jean-Luc Godard, Alain Resnais? ¿Cuáles son las elegidas por cineastas contemporáneos de las últimas décadas? ¿Qué aspectos de esos textos son retomados en las transposiciones creadas para públicos internacionales? ¿De qué manera se resignifican las obras en otros contextos culturales? ¿Cuánto tiempo transcurre entre la publicación de un texto literario y su transposición cinematográfica? Estas son solo algunas de las preguntas que se responden en este libro recorriendo las diversas adaptaciones de literatura argentina en el cine internacional. Los autores proponen pensar la circulación y reconfiguración de las narraciones a partir del concepto de ficciones migrantes, que permite señalar a la vez el cruce de fronteras, la "adaptación" del texto al nuevo contexto, y la persistencia de ciertas marcas de origen. En toda ficción es posible leer los rastros de un espacio, un tiempo y una identidad que se modifican cuando ese relato es retomado y narrado en otro espacio y tiempo, desde otra mirada, y con otro lenguaje expresivo. Estos rastros reconfigurados se pueden identificar por medio de relecturas y desplazamientos formales y afectivos. La indagación acerca de los vínculos entre literatura y cine implica también una reflexión sobre los modos en los que el cine internacional ha contribuido a la configuración y cristalización del canon literario argentino al elegir las obras de ciertos autores y desestimar otras.

This carefully crafted ebook: "THE CANON IN RESIDENCE (British Mystery Classic)" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. The Reverend John Smith is a conventional cleric, who learns on holiday he has been promoted to be Canon in Residence of Frattenbury Cathedral. While staying at a hotel he meets a fellow Englishman, who tells him the clergy are too divorced from reality. This stranger drugs Rev Smith and takes his clerical clothing, leaving in return his garish clothing, which Rev Smith is forced to wear for the rest of his holiday in St Moritz. However, because of this, he learns a great deal that the dog collar would have prevented. Meanwhile, the stranger adopts Rev Smith's name and goes off gambling and quaffing vast quantities of champagne in Monte Carlo, to the horror of an Englishwoman there who writes to her friends in Frattenbury about him. Victor Lorenzo Whitechurch (1868-1933) was a Church of England clergyman and author. He is best known for his detective stories featuring Thorpe Hazell, the first amateur railway detective, whom the author intended to be as far from Sherlock Holmes as possible. Another Whitechurch's character was the spy Captain Ivan Koravitch. His stories were admired for their immaculate plotting and factual accuracy. Whitechurch was one of the first writers to submit his manuscripts to Scotland Yard for vetting as to police procedure.

The Book of Revelation, The Apocalypse, is the closing book and the only prophetical book of the New Testament canon. The author of this book was undoubtedly John the apostle. His name occurs four times in the book itself (1:1, 4, 9; 22:8), and there is every reason to conclude that the "John" here mentioned was the apostle. In a manuscript of about the twelfth century he is called "John the divine," but no reason can be assigned for this appellation. The date of the writing of this book has generally been fixed at A.D. 96, in the reign of Domitian. There are some, however, who contend for an earlier date, A.D. 68 or 69, in the reign of Nero.

This is the extended and annotated edition including * an extensive annotation of more than 5.000 words about the history and evolution of the book we call 'The Bible' A great book is a living organism. Months, years, or centuries may go into its gestation. When finally composed and written down, it can be said to be born, but only born. It then grows and develops through the interpretations of generation after generation of readers, critics, editors, and translators, each adding something, great or little, to its expanding magnitude. The life of the Bible, above all other books, is a life made up of countless lives, embodying their joys and agonies, their visions, their defeats and aspirations. Four thousand years cling about it. A full millennium of myths and legends passed into it; another millennium was consumed in the writing; bitter battles over canon and creed occupied a third; a fourth has seen the ever-continuing translations into modern tongues. Contents: ONE - General Character TWO - The Authors THREE - The Conflict over Creed and Canon FOUR - The Bible under Medievalism FIVE - The Great Translations SIX - The Higher Criticism SEVEN - The Bible and the Stream of Life
