Autumn’s Lessons

Pages : 276
Book Description
Alfonso Aldaz Iglesias is the central character of such a heartfelt novel, nostalgic for his beloved Amelie and for the XX Century, wanders in the inertia of the XXI Century at a fast and inexorable pace of time, implacable nonmerciful executioner, who bumps into the spurious Gerard, who with his insight stops the second hand of the clock, changing the fate of these ingenious transgenerational accomplices, making Madrid his backyard of timeless games. A novel that removes its genre, atypical and bold as the author himself. That will lead us wisely class by class to contemplate so necessary life lessons. Inadmissible to miss it, unforgivable not to enter the entrances of the autumn itself.
The Poem as Icon
Author: Margaret H. FreemanPublisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0190080426
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 229
Book Description
Poetry is the most complex and intricate of human language used across all languages and cultures. Its relation to the worlds of human experience has perplexed writers and readers for centuries, as has the question of evaluation and judgment: what makes a poem "work" and endure. The Poem as Icon focuses on the art of poetry to explore its nature and function: not interpretation but experience; not what poetry means but what it does. Using both historic and contemporary approaches of embodied cognition from various disciplines, Margaret Freeman argues that a poem's success lies in its ability to become an icon of the felt "being" of reality. Freeman explains how the features of semblance, metaphor, schema, and affect work to make a poem an icon, with detailed examples from various poets. By analyzing the ways poetry provides insights into the workings of human cognition, Freeman claims that taste, beauty, and pleasure in the arts are simply products of the aesthetic faculty, and not the aesthetic faculty itself. The aesthetic faculty, she argues, should be understood as the science of human perception, and therefore constitutive of the cognitive processes of attention, imagination, memory, discrimination, expertise, and judgment.

Book Description
"Indian Names in Michigan traces the origin of hundreds of place-names given to counties, towns, lakes, rivers, and topographical features of the Great Lakes State. These melodic names that enrich our appreciation for the romantic past of our state record the culture and history of both the American Indian and the white settler. Most of the Indian names borne by Michigan's cities, counties, lakes, and rivers are those of Indian tribes and individuals. Settlers named places not only fro the resident tribes, but also for tribes in the West that they had never seen. Indian Names in Michigan is written for all local history enthusiasts and anyone interested in Indian history and culture"--Back cover.
