La literatura contemporanea refleja la condicion de un mundo en
crisis. Los textos que componen este volumen se articulan en tres
ejes tematicos: "Conflictos y catarsis del personaje novelesco",
"Imaginarios distopicos y luminosos" y "Voces narrativas en torno a
la realidad factual y ficticia". Estos estudios ponen de relieve la
crisis de los valores; por ello el escritor moderno se siente
legitimado para innovar al margen de la tradicion, aunque esta
delate siempre su presencia de forma ineludible. Si la literatura
contemporanea rompe con los vinculos tradicionales, otras poeticas
de nuestro tiempo conciben la creacion literaria como una
experiencia religiosa, en la que la escritura revela un sentido
espiritual que transforma y trasciende nuestra realidad mas
inmediata.

Many of the sports and games played around the world today have
their roots in the 18th and 19th centuries. Their history, detailed
in "Sports and Games of the 18th and 19th Centuries," provides us
with an insight into the life and times of cultures across the
globe. The dominance of Britain as a world power during this time
had a particularly powerful effect in sports, as it organized many
Western sports with specific rules, and repressed the traditional
sports and games of regions it colonized such as Africa. Rules and
equipment for all of the sports and games of this time period,
along with diagrams, are included.
The book is divided into seven geopolitical regions: Africa,
Asia (including the Middle East), British Isles, Europe, Latin
America, North America, and Oceania. Each region opens with an
essay placing sports and games from that area in their political
and cultural context. Following the essay are entries on each
individual sport. After a description of the history of the sport,
detailed instructions for playing the 18th or 19th century version
of the sport follow. A list of equipment is provided, and any
alternate rules or variations of the game are also given. As part
of the "Sports and Games Through History" series, this volume will
appeal to students as well as sports, history, and cultural
enthusiasts of all ages.
