Escrita por célebre poeta Federico García Lorca, está compuesta dieciocho romances. Con temas como la noche, la muerte, el cielo y la luna, esta serie de poemas expresan la épica del mundo gitano y el ser andaluz, representando una síntesis de la poesía popular, con toques míticos y metafóricos. Definido por el mismo Lorca como 'el poema de Andalucía', estos poemas simbolizan la contradicción básica entre el amor y la muerte, transmitiendo con sensualidad, musicalidad y artesanía, el dolor, la fatalidad y la pena del alma popular. Así, en reconocidos poemas como 'Romance de la luna, luna', 'Reyerta' o 'Romance sonámbulo', Lorca funde con maestría el lenguaje narrativo, épico y lírico, logrando conmover a todo tipo de los lectores. - Federico García Lorca nació el 5 de junio de 1898 en Granada, España, ahí estudió Filosofía y Letras, Derecho y Música. Ya en Madrid, en la Residencia de Estudiantes, conoce a Dalí, Buñuel y a Alberti. En 1921 se publica su primer Libro de poemas, en 1928 Romancero Gitano; en 1935 Llanto por Ignacio Sánchez Mejías y su poema Tierra y Luna, póstumamente en 1934. Entre sus obras teatrales incluyen: Bodas de sangre, Yerma y La casa de Bernarda Alba, ésta última, considerada su máxima obra. Fue detenido por la Guardia Civil el 16 de agosto y fusilado tres días después en 1936.

Title: The Inner Reaches of Outer Space: Metaphor as Myth and as Religion Series: Part of The Collected Works of Joseph Campbell Author: Joseph Campbell Narrator: Grover Gardner Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 0 minutes Release date: December 4, 2018 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Social Science Publisher's Summary: In this work, beloved mythologist Joseph Campbell explores the Space Age. He posits that the newly discovered laws of outer space are actually within us as well, and that a new mythology is implicit in that realization. But what is this new mythology? How can we recognize it? Campbell explores these questions in the concluding essay, “The Way of Art,” in which he demonstrates that metaphor is the language of art and argues that within the psyches of today’s artists are the seeds of tomorrow’s mythologies. Campbell writes in his introduction: “My desire and great pleasure in the preparation of this little volume has been as rendering a return gift to the Graces for the transforming insights of these recent years, which...we have been testing out in a broadly shared spiritual adventure.”

Let Her Fly: A Father’s Journey and the Fight for Equality by Ziauddin Yousafzai, Louise Carpenter

Title: Let Her Fly: A Father’s Journey and the Fight for Equality Author: Ziauddin Yousafzai, Louise Carpenter Narrator: Adnan Kapadia, Ziauddin Yousafzai Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 30 minutes Release date: November 8, 2018 Genres: Social Science Publisher's Summary: Random House presents the audiobook edition of Let Her Fly by Ziauddin Yousafzai, read by Adnan Kapadia and with an introduction read by the author. “Whenever anybody has asked me how Malala became who she is, I have often used the phrase. ‘Ask me not what I did but what I did not do. I did not clip her wings’” For over twenty years, Ziauddin Yousafzai has been fighting for equality – first for Malala, his daughter – and then for all girls throughout the world living in patriarchal societies. Taught as a young boy in Pakistan to believe that he was inherently better than his sisters, Ziauddin rebelled against inequality at a young age. And when he had a daughter himself he vowed that Malala would have an education, something usually only given to boys, and he founded a school that Malala could attend. Then in 2012, Malala was shot for standing up to the Taliban by continuing to go to her father's school, and Ziauddin almost lost the very person for whom his fight for equality began. Let Her Fly is Ziauddin’s journey from a stammering boy growing up in a tiny village high in the mountains of Pakistan, through to being an activist for equality and the father of the youngest ever recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, and now one of the most influential and inspiring young women on the planet. Told through intimate portraits of each of Ziauddin’s closest relationships – as a son to a traditional father; as a father to Malala and her brothers, educated and growing up in the West; as a husband to a wife finally learning to read and write; as a brother to five sisters still living in the patriarchy – Let Her Fly looks at what it means to love, to have courage and fight for what is inherently right. Personal in its detail and universal in its themes, this landmark book shows why we must all keep fighting for the rights of girls and women everywhere.

Title: Primitive Mythology: The Masks of God, Volume I Series: #1 of The Masks of God Author: Joseph Campbell Narrator: Arthur Morey Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 19 hours 0 minutes Release date: October 9, 2018 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 5 Ratings of Narrator: 2.5 of Total 2 Genres: Social Science Publisher's Summary: Explore the power of myth as humanity first discovered it In this first volume of The Masks of God — Joseph Campbell’s major work of comparative mythology — the preeminent mythologist looks at the wellsprings of myth. From the earliest expressions of religious awe in cave paintings and sculptures to the rites and art of contemporary primal tribes, myth has informed humankind's understanding of the world, seen and unseen. Exploring these archetypal mythic images and practices, Campbell examines the basic concepts that underlie all human myth, even to this day. The Masks of God is a four-volume study of world religion and myth that stands as one of Joseph Campbell’s masterworks. On completing it, he wrote: Its main result for me has been the confirmation of a thought I have long and faithfully entertained: of the unity of the race of man, not only in its biology, but also in its spiritual history, which has everywhere unfolded in the manner of a single symphony, with its themes announced, developed, amplified and turned about, distorted, reasserted, and today, in a grand fortissimo of all sections sounding together, irresistibly advancing to some kind of mighty climax, out of which the next great movement will emerge. This edition is part of the Collected Works of Joseph Campbell series.
