This volume of collected essays explores the premise that Plutarch’s work, notwithstanding its amazing thematic multifariousness, constantly pivots on certain ideological pillars which secure its unity and coherence. So, unlike other similar books which, more or less, concentrate on either the Lives or the Moralia or on some particular aspect(s) of Plutarch’s œuvre, the articles of the present volume observe Plutarch at work in both Lives and Moralia, thus bringing forward and illustrating the inner unity of his varied literary production. The subject-matter of the volume is uncommonly wide-ranging and the studies collected here inquire into many important issues of Plutarchean scholarship: the conditions under which Plutarch’s writings were separated into two distinct corpora, his methods of work and the various authorial techniques employed, the interplay between Lives and Moralia, Plutarch and politics, Plutarch and philosophy, literary aspects of Plutarch’s œuvre, Plutarch on women, Plutarch in his epistemological and socio-historical context. In sum, this book brings Plutarchean scholarship to date by revisiting and discussing older and recent problematization concerning Plutarch, in an attempt to further illuminate his personality and work.

This book explores the intersection between medicine and literature in medieval Iberian literature and culture. Its overarching argument is that thirteenth- and fourteenth-century Iberian authors revalorized the interconnection between the body, the mind, and the soul in light of the evolving epistemology of medicine. Prior to the reintroduction of classical medical treatises through Arab authors into European cultures, mental disorders and bodily diseases were primarily attributed to moral corruption, demonic influence, and superstition. The introduction of novel regimens of health as well as treatises on melancholia into academic institutions and into the cultural landscape provided the tools for newly minted authors to understand that psychosomatic illnesses stemmed from malfunctions of the body's biochemical composition. This book demonstrates that the earliest books written in the Iberian vernaculars contain the seeds that effect the shift from a theocentric worldview to a humanistic one. The volume features close readings of multiple texts, including medical treatises and religious writings, and King Alfonso X's Cantigas de Santa Maria, Juan Manuel's Conde Lucanor, and Juan Ruiz's Libro de buen amor. Even though these texts differ in literary genre, rhetorical strategy, and even purpose, this study argues that they collectively employ humoral pathology and melancholic discourses as a means of underscoring the frailty and transience of human life by showing how somatic conditions sicken the body, mind, and soul unto death.

A rich exploration of the importance of books and libraries in the ancient world that highlights how humanity’s obsession with the printed word has echoed throughout the ages • “Accessible and entertaining.” —The Wall Street Journal Long before books were mass-produced, scrolls hand copied on reeds pulled from the Nile were the treasures of the ancient world. Emperors and Pharaohs were so determined to possess them that they dispatched emissaries to the edges of earth to bring them back. When Mark Antony wanted to impress Cleopatra, he knew that gold and priceless jewels would mean nothing to her. So, what did her give her? Books for her library—two hundred thousand, in fact. The long and eventful history of the written word shows that books have always been and will always be a precious—and precarious—vehicle for civilization. Papyrus is the story of the book’s journey from oral tradition to scrolls to codices, and how that transition laid the very foundation of Western culture. Award-winning author Irene Vallejo evokes the great mosaic of literature in the ancient world from Greece’s itinerant bards to Rome’s multimillionaire philosophers, from opportunistic forgers to cruel teachers, erudite librarians to defiant women, all the while illuminating how ancient ideas about education, censorship, authority, and identity still resonate today. Crucially, Vallejo also draws connections to our own time, from the library in war-torn Sarajevo to Oxford’s underground labyrinth, underscoring how words have persisted as our most valuable creations. Through nimble interpretations of the classics, playful and moving anecdotes about her own encounters with the written word, and fascinating stories from history, Vallejo weaves a marvelous tapestry of Western culture’s foundations and identifies the humanist values that helped make us who we are today. At its heart a spirited love letter to language itself, Papyrus takes readers on a journey across the centuries to discover how a simple reed grown along the banks of the Nile would give birth to a rich and cherished culture.

He aquí una serie de estrategias emocionales, físicas y sociales para resistir y salir adelante en los contextos difíciles que viven los inmigrantes el día de hoy. Un mundo en el que los muros y las barreras que afectan a los inmigrantes y sus familias son cada vez más altos y más peligrosos de cruzar. Este libro ofrece una valiosa ayuda ante las situaciones de miedo, soledad e indefensión en respuesta a ese sufrimiento, al que hace unos años el autor denominó «Síndrome de Ulises» –en recuerdo del héroe griego que padeció también lo indecible lejos de sus seres queridos–. El libro plantea, de la misma manera, consejos que le van a resultar de gran utilidad a las personas inmigrantes, desplazadas y refugiadas para que puedan remontar, superar las adversidades y desarrollar una actitud resiliente.

"..Los cuentos...me han gustado mucho. (Algunos) son pequeñas historias sobre algunas ridículas tragedias de la posmodernidad, cuyo humor -y ahí está, creo, su mayor mérito- deriva de una mirada que se desliza de la ironía a la compasión, pues el narrador mezcla su propia voz con la del personaje, evitando así situarse en un plano de superioridad. Lo ridículo se convierte en una atmósfera que todos estamos obligados a respirar: nadie queda exento". Graciela Tomassini, autora de Reconfiguraciones. Estudios críticos sobre narrativa breve hispanoamericana de fin de siglo (Rosario: Fundación Ross, 1996). Muchas de estas diminutas historias atraen tanto por no ser muy comunes como por serlo. En el viaje de la vida uno se encuentra con situaciones reales que superan la magia y excitan la imaginación más allá de lo que pareciera posible, hasta que lo sucedido, lo dicho, lo experimentado prueban lo contrario. Allí reside su ironía, su humor, su belleza y desconcierto. Cuentos de viaje para siete cuerdas y otras metafísicas documenta ficticiamente estas ocurrencias y sus impensables implicaciones. El malabarismo de lo inesperado se convierte en un microrrelato que perdura en un pentagrama de posibles reflexiones, conclusiones y las estelas de otras expansiones imaginativas. "Estos cuentos proponen conocer y reflexionar sobre toda clase de viajes entre ciudades, países y continentes. Pero proponen, sobre todo, viajar entre los más diversos momentos de la experiencia cotidiana. ... Es desde ese lugar privilegiado donde sugiero al lector que se asome a leer un par de textos representativos de este volumen: las "Instrucciones para salir del internet" y las "Instrucciones para meter la pata". En ambos, el logrado homenaje al Manual de Instrucciones de Julio Cortázar demuestra que la voz más genuina del autor, la que está detrás de todas las otras, es la de un cronopio. Favor de asegurar el cinturón de seguridad y disponerse a disfrutar de estos Cuentos de viaje". Lauro Zavala Ahora y con otro género "Ambroggio nos invita a viajar con él, experimentar el mundo como lo ve -con júbilo, admiración y una reverencia sorprendetes" Oscar Hijuelos, Premio Pulitzer
