El descubrimiento de América marcó el encuentro entre dos mundos radicalmente distintos. Se desarrolló entonces una extraordinaria empresa dirigida a captar y describir las particularidades de los idiomas nativos. Esta obra analiza y valora dos gramáticas con que se abrió camino a la comprensión de la Babel americana: Arte de la lengua mexicana de fray Andrés de Olmos, misionero convertido en lingüista, quien logró una honda captación del náhuatl, y Arte de la lengua de Michuacán de fray Maturino Gilberti, que fijó un nuevo canon y nos legó la primera gramática impresa en el Nuevo Mundo.

Geht das? In zwölf Tagen mit 3.530 gefahrenen Kilometern einige von Amerikas atemberaubenden Canons sehen, einige für mich wichtige, wie den Antelope Canon im nördlichen Arizona? Nicht auf Harleys, sondern mit 700er, 800er BMW GS und Triumph Tiger XCx 800. Und zwar abseits der normalen Pfade mit 70% Schotterstrecken auf Dirt Roads. Das verspricht der Veranstalter John Hax, Eigentümer von 106 Grad West Motocycle Adventure. Mit dabei: Bryn Davies als Redakteur von Adventure Bike Rider, dem britischen Magazin für Abenteuermotorradtouren. Und als zweiten Guide Benjamin York. Unerwartete Schneeeinbrüche und Blizzards, Schlammpisten und Straßenüberflutungen ließen das Abenteuer spannender als erwartet werden und haben bei uns eine neue Sucht ausgelöst: USA und seine Canyons.

A comprehensive, reliable and up-to-date scholarly introduction to the world of the Hebrew Bible - its cultural setting, literary form, social backgrounds, ritual nature, and its images of humanity and of God. The 33 sections are written by selected specialists from various denominations and all German-speaking countries. Within a manageable scope, they discuss wide-ranging topics such as 'The Bible and history', 'Bible, Judaism, Christianity', 'the formation of the canon', 'individual and community', 'worship', 'suffering and death', and 'God's love and wrath'. Brief footnotes, special bibliographies and an index help the reader link together and deepen the information provided. The book offers a compact but nuanced overview of the 'Old' or 'First Testament', for students, those involved in the church or with cultural interests, those who are distanced from the Bible and also people curious about religion, academics, and non-academics. It can be read alone or in groups, continuously or following selected topics - drawing readers in to the fascinating 'world of the Hebrew Bible'.

Este estudio constituye el primer acercamiento crítico, en el mundo académico hispano, a las poetas y artistas de la generación Beat que, junto con los componentes masculinos bien conocidos del grupo (Kerouac, Ginsberg, Burroughs) revolucionaron la escena literaria urbana en la década de los cincuenta en los Estados Unidos, adelantándose así al cambio de mentalidad que colonizó el mundo en los sesenta y los setenta. 'Female Beatness' ubica en el canon literario y el devenir histórico a las mujeres que participaron de la efervescencia del excepcional momento creativo Beat y rompieron las barreras, con sus vivencias y sus obras, del papel subsidiario para el que a priori habían sido educadas. Dentro de un enfoque amplio que aúna contexto socio-histórico, teorías de género y análisis textual, el libro pone en el punto de mira a las poetas Elise Cowen, Diane di Prima, Ruth Eeiss y Denise Levertov, explorando de este modo todas las formas posibles, muy diferentes entre sí, de ser Beat... en femenino. Hoy día, más de medio siglo después, su influencia y predicamento siguen absolutamente vigentes.
