Enrique Granados (1867-1916) is one of the most compelling figures of the late-Romantic period in music. During his return voyage to Spain after the premiere of his opera Goyescas at New York's Metropolitan Opera in 1916, a German submarine torpedoed the ship on which he and his wife were sailing, and they perished in the waters of the English Channel. His death was mourned on both sides of the Atlantic as a stunning loss to the music world, for he had died at the pinnacle of his career, and his late works held the promise of greater things to come. Granados was among the leading pianists of his time, and his eloquence at the keyboard inspired critics to dub him the "poet of the piano." In Enrique Granados: Poet of the Piano, Walter Aaron Clark offers the first substantive study in English of this virtuoso pianist, composer, and music pedagogue. While providing detailed analyses of his major works for voice, piano, and the stage, Clark argues that Granados's art represented a unifying presence on the cultural landscape of Spain during a period of imperial decline, political unrest, and economic transformation. Drawing on newly discovered documents, Clark explores the cultural spheres in which Granados moved, particularly of Castile and Catalonia. Granados's best-known music was inspired by the art of Francisco Goya, especially the Goyescas suite for solo piano that became the basis for the opera. These pieces evoked the colorful and dramatic world that Goya inhabited and depicted in his art. Granados's fascination with Goya's Madrid set him apart from fellow nationalists Albéniz and Falla, who drew their principal inspiration from Andalusia. Though he was resolutely apolitical, Granados's attraction to Castile antagonized some Catalan nationalists, who resented Castilian domination. Yet Granados also made important contributions to Catalan musical theater and was a prominent figure in the modernist movement in Barcelona. Clark also explores the personal pressures that shaped Granados's music. His passionate affair with a wealthy socialite created domestic tensions, but it was also a source of inspiration for Goyescas. Persistent financial difficulties forced him to devote time to teaching at the expense of composition, though as a result Granados made considerable contributions to piano pedagogy and music education in Barcelona through the music academy he founded there. While Granados's tragic and early demise casts a pall over his life story, Clark ultimately reveals an artist of remarkable versatility and individuality and sheds new light on his enduring significance.
Professor David Pugsley is a man of many talents as well as a paradox. Although he may appear to some to be typically English, this is to overlook his cosmopolitan side. David Pugsley is a well known English Romanist and comparative lawyer who taught for many years at Exeter University, as well as in many other places in the world. In this book, specially dedicated to him, his friends and colleagues pay tribute through a series of papers on comparative law and the history of law. Le Professeur David Pugsley, homme aux multiples talents, incarne un paradoxe. Pur produit de l’intelligentia britannique, de prime abord, on le découvre farouchement cosmopolite. David Pugsley est bien connu comme un spécialiste anglais du droit romain; il est aussi un juriste renommé en droit comparé. Il a enseigné durant de nombreuses années à l’Université d’Exeter, ainsi qu’en de nombreux endroits dans le monde. Dans cet ouvrage, ses amis et collègues lui rendent hommage, au travers d’une série de contributions dans les domaines du droit comparé et de l’histoire du droit qui lui sont particulièrement chers.

In the autumn of 1971 F. Hoffmann-La Roche & Co. Ltd in Basel celebrated their 75th anniversary. The company was one of the first in the chemical industry to concentrate from the beginning on pharmaceuticals. Step by step new activi ties were taken up, but all within the frontiers of biology. During the 75 years of Roche the research division has become by far the largest department in the company, with basic research assuming an increasingly important part in it. For this reason Roche cannot but feel a share of res pons i bility towards the many problems raised by biomedical progress. Hence, the idea of celebrating the anniversary along conventional lines could not be seriously entertained. The occasion was to show Roche at work. A special kind of work certainly, breaking away from the daily routine into the sphere offree communi cation with thinking people outside the purview of the company's usual tasks.
The reactive scattering for H- + H2 and H+ + H2 and its isotopologues were investigated using different methods. The studies aimed at providing insights into elementary reactions, and go beyond these to more complexchemical reactions. By comparison of the reaction probabilities of H+ + H2 using adiabatic and non-adiabatic methods, it was found that, at low collision energies, the reaction preferentially occurs adiabatically, but at higher collision energies non-adiabatic effects should be taken into account. For H- + H2 and its isotopologues, we can see that, at low collision energies, the reaction probabilities and reaction cross section using SM-PES and AY-PES are very similar but different from PS-PES. The reaction cross sections investigated with quasi-classical trajectoriesare higher than those calculated with quantum wavepackets. For the collision H- and D- with HD, the main reaction path ways are different with the different collision energies.
Euthanasia is highly controversial. Is it a crime or an ultimate form of care? Can one person help another to die? And what about palliative care? What criteria should govern decisions to terminate or prolong life? Does euthanasia violate the European Convention on Human Rights? This publication contains 13 essays by various authors, looking at euthanasia from the point of view of ethics, and of religion (Buddhism, Catholicism, etc.).
Así nos presenta Amenodoro Urdaneta Cervantes y la crítica: Después de muchos años consagrados al estudio del Quijote y al examen de la crítica en él ensayada, he adquirido la convicción de poder disipar las sombras extrañas que velan todavía la faz de esa inmortal novela, y que la dañan, a semejanza de los mal confeccionados afeites que el artificio estampa en el rostro de la beldad. Ese libro admirable que, poniendo de relieve y caricaturando graciosamente la parte flaca y ridícula de la sociedad, es como el espejo constante de la naturaleza, el cual a nadie exime de pararse a contemplar y de reír al ver reflejado en su tersura algún rasgo de la fisonomía social, y aun de la suya propia; ese libro que, a su originalísima concepción y gran cordura, une el atractivo de las bellas formas y una alta influencia moral y literaria; ese libro, por último, orgullo de las letras y familiar de las naciones, ha tenido también su desventura (¡que ella es inherente a la condición de las cosas humanas!); y esta desventura consiste en ver a errados o ilusos escritores contestarle o desfigurar muchas partes de su incontestable mérito, como se verá en la obra que intento publicar, mediante la protección y benevolencia de la culta sociedad venezolana.
The work of Paul Ricoeur can be regarded as a faithful expression of the philosophy of the 20th century and as the paradigmatic exponent of a new philosophical character for the 21st century. Without belonging to any particular school, Ricoeur discussed a wide range of philosophical topics, with many of his insights being prophetic indeed. This book demonstrates that there is no single interpretation of Ricoeur's philosophy, describing his way of thinking. Rather, the book provides an opportunity to see Ricoeur's thoughts as a guide for a human enveloped in the experience of life and being. By exploring Paul Ricoeur in his life circumstances - through war, the academy, and his relationships, as well as through his works and his own words - this book offers a more complete picture of the many aspects of one man and the legacy he left behind.
