The world-renowned Peruvian poet Cesar Vallejo (1892-1938) was also a journalist, essayist, novelist and would-be dramatist. The study of his life and work has encountered problems since the 1950s, stemming from the fact that half of his writing was published posthumously under editorship of doubtful accuracy. The matter is further complicated in that his non-poetic work has been neglected in favour of his verse. A Struggle between Art and Politics reviews the evidence -- literary and historical -- now reliably to hand, and assesses the often conflicting body of opinion his work has generated. Three essential questions are pertinent: Where should Vallejo be placed in the canon of twentieth-century modernism? What effect did his mid-life conversion to Communism have on his writing? How should his prose fiction, journalism and essays be assessed in relation to his poetry? There are few writers whose literary output follows the twists and turns of their lives more closely than Cesar Vallejos

This study offers a reading of Don Quixote to argue that this work was more than just hilariously comic entertainment. Rather, it belongs to a "subversive tradition" which constantly questioned the aims and standards of the imperial nation state that Counter-reformation Spain had become from the point of view of Renaissance humanism. In response to censorship run largely by the Inquisition, writers became adept at camouflaging heterodox ideas. Ironically, Cervantes' success in avoiding the attention of the censor by concealing his criticisms beneath irony and humour was so effective that even some twentieth-century scholars have maintained Don Quixote is a brilliantly funny book but no more. R.K. Britton draws on scholarship--including ideas on cultural authority and studies on the way Don Quixote addresses history, truth, writing, law, and gender--and engages with the same issues as Cervantes did.

Das »beste Alter« ist eine Bezeichnung, die der Wirklichkeit spottet. Schließlich meint sie nichts anderes als die peinlichste Phase im Leben des erwachsenen Menschen. Welche Dramen – hormoneller und sozialer Art – sich im und rund um den Mann in seiner zweiten Pubertät abspielen, das schildert Stand-up-Kabarettist Mark Britton in wunderbar selbstironischer und herzzerreißend ehrlicher Manier. Er zeigt: Die steile Etappe zwischen Teenager und Rentner, zwischen Skateboard und Rollator, zwischen Play Station und Intensivstation ist höchstwahrscheinlich doch bezwingbar. Es gibt einen Weg zurück zur Normalität. »Apollo 50 - Wir haben ein Problem« Erwachsene Männer in der zweiten Pubertät Das ultimative Buch zur Midlife Crisis
