La historia del doctor Gully (9788490651087)



En mayo de 1870, Florence Ricardo, esposa de un capitán bebedor y violento, acudía a la consulta del doctor Gully en Malvern (Gales), en busca de una cura para su estado de nervios: estaba agotada, deprimida, ansiosa, bebía preocupantemente, no paraba de llorar. El doctor Gully era famoso por sus tratamientos que hoy denominaríamos «alternativos», en especial la hidroterapia. A pesar de los más de treinta años de edad que los separaban, el médico y su paciente iniciaron una relación que no tardaría en ir más allá de lo profesional y que, a lo largo del tiempo, pasaría por las más diversas fases, siempre
bajo la amenaza del escándalo. Como en Harriet, Elizabeth Jenkins reconstruye en La historia del doctor Gully (1972) un sonado caso criminal que dejó perpleja a la sociedad victoriana. Psicológicamente brillante, socialmente revulsiva, esta historia de amor, manipulaciones y traición es una novela tan lúcida como intrigante.

Sacred Journey (9781532698989)

This companion reveals Rudolf Schwarz to be one of the greatest theologians of the twentieth century. As a German architect and mystic he created some beautiful churches in a stripped-down 1930s-Modern style, but he is most revered for a single book-in English translation The Church Incarnate. In it he explores the relationships between God and God's people, relationships expressed when they meet together in worship. Schwarz is revered for his spiritual insights but it is sometimes hard to follow him on his mystical wanderings. This companion accompanies him on his sacred journey, gently guiding him back on track when he wanders off-course and keeping him cheerful. This journey has had a surprising outcome: a discovery that, embedded in its union of earth and heaven, is a practical and logical structure for the renewal of the church; renewal of its worship, space, and its ministry. Already several congregations seeking renewal have used these concepts to find clarity and direction ...

Brute : Poems (9781555978358)

Selected by Joy Harjo as the winner of the Walt Whitman Award of the Academy of American Poets Emily Skaja's debut collection is a fiery, hypnotic book that confronts the dark questions and menacing silences around gender, sexuality, and violence. Brute arises, brave and furious, from the dissolution of a relationship, showing how such endings necessitate self-discovery and reinvention. The speaker of these poems is a sorceress, a bride, a warrior, a lover, both object and agent, ricocheting among ways of knowing and being known. Each incarnation squares itself up against ideas of feminine virtue and sin, strength and vulnerability, love and rage, as it closes in on a hard-won freedom. Brute is absolutely sure of its capacity to insist not only on the truth of what it says but on the truth of its right to say it. "What am I supposed to say: I'm free?" the first poem asks. The rest of the poems emphatically discover new ways to answer. This is a timely winner of the W...
