An accessible anthology of the greatest ancient Greek myths and legends for readers of all ages by the celebrated classicist and historical novelist. According to the myths, gods and goddesses of ancient Greece lived on Mount Olympus and ruled the world of mortals. Famous heroes shaped the course of history, beautiful women drew the gazes of gods and men alike, and the gods were both fickle in their favors and breathtakingly generous to those they smiled upon. From Midas’s tragic gift to the exploits of Hercules and the curse of Pandora, Robert Graves brings the legends of ancient Greece to life in a way that’s sure to appeal to everyone; from children to adults, and from casual readers to serious scholars. “Directly told, with no attempt to oversimplify them, a good deal of the symbolism and the association with the pattern of ancient Greece survives.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review).

Una de las preguntas fundamentales que miles de millones de hombres se han hecho a lo largo de la historia de la Humanidad es: Si Dios existe, quien es El, como se le puede conocer, como se lo puede imaginar, como se le puede hablar? Es Dios una categoria mental mas de las tantas que creamos y por lo tanto es producto de nuestra imaginacion, o ese Dios existe realmente y se ha comunicado con nosotros de alguna manera verificable, objetiva y nos ha revelado algo de Quien es El? Y a estos interrogantes se le anade la inseparable duda de si lo que afirmarnos de Dios es realmente lo que El ES. Este interrogante ha sido motivo de innumerables confrontaciones entre los que afirman que si se ha dado dicha comunicacion y los que afirman que ese Dios no nos ha hablado nunca y que por lo tanto es producto de nuestra imaginacion, de nuestro deseo de sentirnos protegidos, de sentirnos cobijados, de sentirnos especiales cuando nos damos cuenta que somos varios billones de humanos viviendo en este punto azul, la Tierra, suspendida en el firmamento compartiendo el espacio con miles y miles de estrellas de nuestra galaxia y esta, a su vez, acompanada por miles de otras galaxias ejecutando el baile cosmico de nuestro universo. Es, pues, necesario hacer una revision historico-critica y de fondo para averiguar si existe o se ha dado la posibilidad de una comunicacion entre este Ser-Dios y nosotros, la Humanidad. Y si ha ocurrido, de que manera se ha hecho dicha comunicacion? Y si se ha dado, que nos ha dicho Dios de Si mismo que nos sirva para hacernos una imagen comprensible de Quien es El, de cual es su intima Esencia?

Imagen y palabra: En torno a "El Cristo de Velázquez" es un análisis estilístico e interpretativo del Poema cristológico de Miguel de Unamuno. El poema está inspirado en el famoso cuadro del pintor español Diego Velázquez. Unamuno comienza a componer estos poemas poco después de haber publicado su magna obra, "Del sentimiento trágico de la vida" (1913). En el poemario el Rector expone todos sus pensamientos y pensamientos en torno a la figura de Cristo. Es un poemario con profundas raíces bíblicas. A través de cada poema, escrito en clásicos endecasílabos, el poeta refleja su profunda fe en el Cristo Crucificado. Junto a su obra póstuma, "Diario intimo", esta obra poética no deja lugar a duda de que el conflictivo don Miguel murió creyente. Se encuentra aquí, pues, el "Unamuno contemplativo" frente al "Unamuno agónico" de los críticos. Eliezer Oyola hace un examen minucioso de cada poema, notando las alusiones bíblicas, literarias, históricas y mitológicas.

Tres Navarre to the heart of the Lone Star State—Austin—to unravel a case so dark, twisted, and deadly, it can only involve family.... Tres Navarre, the P.I. with a Ph.D. in literature, heads to Austin for a laid-back summer teaching gig. But he’s in store for a whole lot more. His big brother Garrett--computer whiz, Jimmy Buffett fanatic, and all-around eccentric—is hoping to retire a multimillionaire by the fall. He’s bet his career and the Navarre family ranch to do it. Then Garrett’s oldest friend and business partner is murdered—and Garrett is the only suspect. As Tres delves into Garrett’s bizarre world to find the truth behind the murder, he comes face to face with the damaged relationships, violent lives, and billion-dollar schemes of a high-tech world gone haywire. Connecting them all is beautiful Lake Travis and the shocking secret that lies within its depths.
