A collection of Lewis’s essays against ‘the new morality’ – a fine collection representing Lewis at his most brilliant.Published shortly after his death, aiming to make available some of his writings which were not at that time publicly accessible, and to counter the prevailing new morality of the sixties, ‘Christian Reflections’ gives a robust defence of the Christian Gospel.Now, fifty years later, when Christian communities are, in our own day, struggling to come to terms with a shifting morality, this little volume will be a comforting reminder of the never-changing truths of the faith.As ever, Lewis’s clear and eloquent mind gives plenty of food for thought, especially as he aims his intellectual ammunition at the modern myths still so prevalent in our post-modern culture.

The groundbreaking biography of one of the most progressive, influential and entertaining women of the seventeenth century, Christina Alexandra, Queen of Sweden.In 1654, to the astonishment and dismay of her court, Christina Alexandra announced her abdication in favour of her cousin, Charles. Instrumental in bringing the Thirty Years War to a close at the age of 22, Christina had become one of the most powerful monarchs in Europe. She had also become notorious for her extravagant lifestyle.Leaving the narrow confines of her homeland behind her, Christina cut a remarkable path across Europe. She acted as mediator in the Franco-Spanish War and, in return for financial support, was received into the Roman Catholic Church despite the fierce condemnation of her protestant countrymen. Christina settled in Rome at the luxurious Palazzo Farnese where she established a lavish salon for Rome's artists and intellectuals. More than once she was forced to leave Rome while one scandal or another died down; she was painted a lesbian, a prostitute and even a hermaphrodite. Her most impassioned affair was with a well-connected Cardinal. Later, when financial support from the Pope and the Spanish crown dried up, Christina began to court French favour, eventually even plotting with them to overthrow the Spanish at Naples, where she hoped to be installed as queen.Despite her political vacillations and a lifelong refusal to restrain her appetites, Christina ended her days in Rome relatively free from disfavour and financial strife. At the express order of the Pope, she was buried, with full ceremony, in the walls of St Peter's Basilica, one of only two women to be so honoured.Reminiscent of Amanda Foreman's Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire and Claire Tomalin's Jane Austen: A Life, Buckley combines a personal approach with a lively interest in the social and historical world of seventeenth-century Europe to bring this remarkable personality to life.Note that it has not been possible to include the same picture content that appeared in the original print version.

Map best viewed on a tablet device. An account of the Spanish civil war which portrays the struggles of the war, as well as discussing the wider implications of the revolution in the Republican zone, the emergence of brutal dictatorship on the nationalist side and the extent to which the Spanish war prefigured World War II. No war in modern times has inflamed the passions of both ordinary people and intellectuals in the way that the conflict in Spain in 1936 did. The Spanish Civil War is burned into European consciousness, not simply because it prefigured the much larger world war that followed it, but because the intense manner of its prosecution was a harbinger of a new and horrific form of warfare that was universally dreaded. At the same time, the hopes awakened by the attempted social revolution in republican Spain chimed with the aspirations of many in Europe and the United States during the grim years of the great Depression. 'The Concise History of the Spanish Civil War' is a full-blooded account of this pivotal period in the twentieth-century European history. Paul Preston vividly recounts the struggles of the war, analyses the wider implications of the revolution in the Republican zone, tracks the emergence of Francisco Franco's brutal (and, ultimately, extraordinarily durable) fascist dictatorship and assesses the way in which the Spanish Civil War was a portent of the Second World War that ensued so rapidly after it.

Se queda pasmado al ver a su distanciada esposa en el burdel Buenas Noches. Un aura de rosas y espinas podridas lo obsesionan. ?C?mo podr? hacer desaparecer la fragancia mixta del cuerpo de ella? Inferknow estaba organizada de forma mezquina. Las casas de bajo costo de construcci?n tosca se api?aban en grandes cantidades y nunca carec?an de ocupantes. Con unas paredes delgadas que separaban a un inquilino del otro, las conversaciones en los apartamentos parec?an una reuni?n en el ayuntamiento de la ciudad. En esta sociedad paralizada, ning?n acto se manten?a privado. Los residentes observaban conscientemente todo tipo de peligro, desde botellas voladoras hasta balas perdidas. Las chozas que bordeaban la costa eran m?s caras. Las personas que viv?an cerca de la orilla del lago pod?an alimentar a los peces con sus desechos y respirar bocanadas de aire fresco. Los transe?ntes se tapaban las narices debido al hedor apestoso que sal?a de las heces humanas en descomposici?n. El vecindario necesitaba una intervenci?n ambientalista de salud antes de que un posible brote de enfermedad cayera sobre todos los habitantes. Cerca del canal abierto, algunos adolescentes jugaban cartas en un desgastado tablero de billar. Estall? una pelea porque algunos hicieron trampa y el tablero de billar se convirti? en un ring de lucha libre. Las chicas se turnaban para saltar las cuerdas que giraban r?pidamente. Un ni?o de seis a?os, lloraba con medio cubo de bollos fr?os sobre la cabeza. El ni?o recordaba lo que su madre le hab?a advertido. ‘No regrese con un solo bollo o de lo contrario, tendr?s tu lengua para cenar. ?Est? claro? ?l asinti?. Tuvo suerte. Unos g?nsteres le preguntaron la raz?n de su angustia. Los g?nsteres le compraron la merienda completa y la distribuyeron a los ni?os que estaban alrededor. Una mujer, que fumaba un tabaco junto a un tanque de agua, le dio unas palmaditas en la espalda y le dio doscientos Nairas. Dobl? el dinero en peque?os pliegues, que escondi? en su cabello tupido y le hizo un saludo militar. La ciudad era un lugar para hombres, mujeres y ni?os ingeniosos con extremidades nerviosas. La pereza solo tra?a hambre, denigraci?n y opresi?n; los mendigos no luchaban en estas calles. La poblaci?n era multifac?tica. Los funcionarios asignados al censo siempre ten?an dificultades para mantener al d?a el n?mero de personas que viv?an en Inferknow. Los residentes no respetaban las normas morales de la sociedad, s?lo los dictados de la dura vida de la calle, el duro destino de la realidad. El imponente sistema opresor no asustaba a estas personas. Su preocupaci?n era c?mo manejar las circunstancias del mundo lo mejor que pod?an. Cre?an que un gran instrumento de cambio podr?a nacer entre uno de ellos; solo necesitaban una raz?n para continuar la lucha y quiz?s habr?a una luz al final del t?nel.

Tras Tokio Redux (Mejor Novela Negra del 2021 seg?n El Pa?s) y Tokio a?o cero, rematamos la Trilog?a de Tokio de David Peace con esta sensacional novela de intriga.Tokio, 26 de enero de 1948. Un hombre entra en una sucursal del Banco Teikoku, se identifica como funcionario de salud p?blica e informa a los empleados que ha de administrarles una vacuna para contener un brote de disenter?a. Minutos m?s tarde, doce de los trabajadores mueren, cuatro caen inconscientes y el falso doctor desaparece con el dinero. Sobre la nieve que cubre la ciudad ocupada por los estadounidenses, un escritor corre desesperado, tratando de concluir la cr?nica de aquella masacre sin sentido.Encuentra refugio y respuestas en la oscuridad de un templo en ruinas: un ritual arcano evoca a los testigos del crimen, cada uno con su propio fragmento de verdad. A la luz vacilante de doce velas, desfilan polic?as y delincuentes, chivos expiatorios y ocultistas, muertos que no encuentran descanso y vivos que se sienten culpables por no estar muertos. Guiado por estas voces de las sombras, el escritor rastrea informes confidenciales sobre el uso de armas qu?micas en Manchuria durante la guerra, confesiones avergonzadas de quienes las aplicaron y diarios desquiciados de quienes las investigaron, enfrent?ndose a la cambiante y esquiva verdad. Con Ciudad ocupada, segundo cap?tulo de la Trilog?a de Tokio, David Peace recrea el caso real y desconcertante del envenenamiento en el Banco Teikoku.
