This is the only translation of the work of this important haiku poet in English. Buson (1716-1783), along with Basho and Issa, is recognised as one of the three Japanese masters of the haiku. In addition to a large selection of haiku, the book also includes a selection of Buson's prose and a critical introduction.

Este libro ofrece un analisis variacionista de la expresion verbal de lo futuro en el espanol de la comunidad de habla bilingue castellano-catalan de Valencia. Se investigan tres variantes: futuro morfologico, futuro perifrastico y presente prospectivo, y los resultados se comparan con los obtenidos en otras comunidades monolingues y bilingues del ambito hispanico. Junto a este estudio comparativo que permite conocer el paradigma alternante en el espanol de ambos lados del Atlantico, la obra aporta nuevos modelos para el tratamiento estadistico de los datos. Frente al programa empleado tradicionalmente en el Variacionismo, Goldvarb, se muestran las ventajas de Rbrul y del paquete SPSS; entre ellas, eliminar los knock-out y realizar analisis de regresion logistica multinomial. Tras identificar los factores internos y externos que estimulan cada marca temporal de futuro, se confirma el cambio en marcha favorable al futuro perifrastico y se corrobora el proceso lento de una doble gramaticalizacion: valor modal del futuro morfologico y valor temporal del futuro perifrastico.

Cosa ci rende davvero vivi? E il battito del cuore? La nostra ragione, oppure le emozioni che proviamo? Forse tutto questo non e abbastanza e bisogna cercare la risposta in una dimensione diversa. Ognuno di noi ha la possibilita di vivere in maniera piena e straordinaria, anche nelle condizioni piu difficili, scoprendo cio che ci rende veramente liberi e vincenti. Ma per fare questo bisogna essere pronti a polverizzare le regole, a ribaltare le prospettive e ad abbattere religioni, filosofie e tradizioni. Significa scegliere di dare fiducia alla follia, per riuscire a guardare oltre i limiti del corpo e le illusioni della mente. "Il serpente e la colomba" ci accompagna in un cammino di profonda trasformazione personale attraverso un messaggio semplice, ma potente, capace di cambiare concretamente qualunque vita e portare in un luogo dove ogni paura svanisce. Nessuna teoria, nessun segreto; solamente la certezza di un'esperienza realmente vissuta che traccia una via alla portata di tutti.
