Sommario/riassunto

Beyond Auteurism is a comprehensive study of nine film authors from France, Italy and Spain who since the 1980's have blurred the boundaries between art-house and mainstream, and national and transnational film production. Maule examines how the individuals have maintained a dialectical relationship with the authorial tradition of the national cinema to which each belongs. In considering this tradition, Maule seeks to illustrate that the film author is not only the most important symbol of European cinema's cultural tradition and commitment, but is also a crucial part of Europe's efforts to...

Sommario/riassunto

To date, critical analysis of the EMU project has largely been advanced from the centre-right spectrum of British politics. Comparable questions from the centre-left have failed to find a coherent voice. Although, the European fault-line cannot be characterized as a neat Left-Right issue there are noticeable divisions in opinion across British business, the trade union movement and within the Labour Party. Offering a unique insight into this key debate from the 'centre-left', eurosceptic view point, this book provides a rigorous analysis of all the salient economic and politic

Sommario/riassunto

«Cada hombre mira su pila de madera con una especie de afecto.» Henry David ThoreauCortar y apilar la madera es un pasatiempo en el que el mundo parece cobrar de nuevo sentido. La relación del ser humano con el fuego es tan antigua, tan universal, que parece que al aprender sobre la madera se conoce la vida con más profundidad.Quién mejor para compartir esa sabiduría ancestral que un experto de Escandinavia, región donde el clima extremo ha obligado a generaciones a perfeccionar sus habilidades con herramientas, madera y calor; un gran escritor que, junto a Karl Knausgaard, ha puesto a la literatura noruega en el foco de los lectores. Lars Mytting transmite las enseñanzas de leñadores experimentados, aficionados, investigadores y profesionales de la cultura arbórea y de la combustión. Ha visitado algunas de las zonas más frías de Noruega, se ha detenido en los cruces de caminos en busca de los tonos de las motosierras y de las anécdotas e historias. Con humor, cariño y precisión, Lars Mytting nos ofrece un retrato de la tradición noruega de hacer fuego con leña; una tradición en la que cada generación ha ido transmitiendo esta ciencia y pasión.El libro de la madera es en parte una guía sobre las mejores prácticas para el uso de una fuente de energía que se renueva y, por otra, un ejercicio de meditación sobre el instinto humano de supervivencia. Este manual sobre el arte de cortar, apilar y secar madera a la manera escandinava ha tenido ya eco en el mundo entero.



Aunque todavía no comparta esa pasión por la madera este libro es la lectura perfecta para un día junto al fuego.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONThe latest Scandinavian publishing phenomenon is not a Stieg Larsson-like thriller; it's a book about chopping, stacking, and burning wood that has sold more than 200,000 copies in Norway and Sweden and has been a fixture on the bestseller lists there for more than a year.Norwegian Wood provides useful advice on the rustic hows and whys of taking care of your heating needs, but it's also a thoughtful attempt to understand man's age-old predilection for stacking wood and passion for open fires.An intriguing window into the exoticism of Scandinavian culture, the book also features enough inherently interesting facts and anecdotes and inspired prose to make it universally appealing.
