Bestial Oblivion: War, Humanism, and Ecology in Early Modern England (Perspectives on the Non-Human in Literature and Culture)
by Benjamin BertramAlthough war is a heterogeneous assemblage of the human and nonhuman, it nevertheless builds the illusion of human autonomy and singularity. Focusing on war and ecology, a neglected topic in early modern ecocriticism, Bestial Oblivion: War, Humanism, and Ecology in Early Modern England shows how warfare unsettles ideas of the human, yet ultimately contributes to, and is then perpetuated by, anthropocentrism. Bertram’s study of early modern warfare’s impact on human-animal and human-technology relationships draws upon posthumanist theory, animal studies, and the new materialisms, focusing on responses to the Anglo-Spanish War, the Italian Wars, the Wars of Religion, the colonization of Ireland, and Jacobean “peace.” The monograph examines a wide range of texts—essays, drama, military treatises, paintings, poetry, engravings, war reports, travel narratives—and authors—Erasmus, Machiavelli, Digges, Shakespeare, Marlowe, Coryate, Bacon—to show how an intricate web of perpetual war altered the perception of the physical environment as well as the ideologies and practices establishing what it meant to be human.
Bestiário
by Julio CortázarPrimeiro volume de contos de Julio Cortázar e um marco da literatura moderna. Animais invisíveis, como o tigre do conto que dá título ao volume, que se desloca a seu bel-prazer pelos quartos de uma casa, obrigando a família que ali vive a mil cuidados e precauções a fim de evitar encontros indesejados; animais imaginários, como as mancúspias que anunciam as fases da «Cefaleia»; animais que despontam do nada, como os coelhinhos da «Carta a uma Rapariga em Paris»; ou outros ainda subjugados a arcanos poderes, que ganham novas formas e sentidos em «Circe»; todos eles compõem este bestiário fantástico de Julio Cortázar, no qual a descrição realista de atmosferas familiares faz luz sobre a vida secreta de uma sociedade povoada por tensões misteriosas e irracionais. Publicado originalmente em 1951, Bestiário é o primeiro volume de contos de Julio Cortázar e um dos marcos da carreira deste autor e da moderna literatura. «Quem não lê Cortázar está condenado.» Pablo Neruda «Uma imaginação literária de elite.» The New York Times Review of Books «Julio Cortázar foi um dos grandes mestres do século xx na difícil arte do conto.»José Mário Silva, Expresso «A capacidade criativa do autor atira-nos exactamente para esse território das situações menos comuns, onde o que às vezes importa é a escrita e os sonhos que ela transporta para defronte dos nossos olhos.» Fernando Sobral, Jornal de Negócios
El bestiario de Axlin (Guardianes de la Ciudadela #Volumen 1)
by Laura GallegoEl mundo de Axlin está plagado de monstruos. Algunos atacan a los viajeros en los caminos, otros asedian las aldeas hasta que logran arrasarlas por completo y otros entran en las casas por las noches para llevarse a los niños mientras duermen. Axlin ha crecido siendo consciente de que cualquier día le puede tocar a ella. Su gente ha sobrevivido a los monstruos durante generaciones y ha aprendido a evitarlos en la medida de lo posible. Pero un día Axlin descubre que existen muchos tipos de monstruos diferentes, que cada aldea se enfrenta a sus propias pesadillas y que hay criaturas que no conoce y ante las que no sabe cómo defenderse. Axlin es la escriba de su aldea, la única que sabe leer y escribir. Debido a ello, nadie de su entorno comprende realmente la importancia de su trabajo. Pero ella se ha propuesto investigar todo lo que pueda sobre los monstruos y plasmar sus descubrimientos en un libro que pueda servir de guía y protección a otras personas. Por eso decide partir con los buhoneros en una larga ruta para reunir la sabiduría ancestral de las aldeas en su precaria lucha contra los monstruos. No obstante, a lo largo de su viaje descubrirá cosas que jamás habría imaginado cuando partió.
Bestiarium Judaicum: Unnatural Histories of the Jews
by Jay GellerGiven the vast inventory of verbal and visual images of nonhuman animals—pigs, dogs, vermin, rodents, apes disseminated for millennia to debase, dehumanize, and justify the persecution of Jews, Bestiarium Judaicum asks: What is at play when Jewish-identified writers tell animal stories? Focusing on the nonhuman-animal constructions of primarily Germanophone authors, including Sigmund Freud, Heinrich Heine, Franz Kafka, and Gertrud Kolmar, Jay Geller expands his earlier examinations (On Freud’s Jewish Body: Mitigating Circumcisions and The Other Jewish Question: Identifying the Jew and Making Sense of Modernity) of how such writers drew upon representations of Jewish corporeality in order to work through their particular situations in Gentile modernity. From Heine’s ironic lizards to Kafka’s Red Peter and Siodmak’s Wolf Man, Bestiarium Judaicum brings together Jewish cultural studies and critical animal studies to ferret out these writers’ engagement with the bestial answers upon which the Jewish and animal questions converged and by which varieties of the species "Jew" were identified.

The Bestiary
by Nicholas ChristopherFrom Christopher comes a tale that is at once a fantastical historical mystery, a haunting love story, and a glimpse into the uncanny--the quest for a long-lost book detailing the animals left off Noah's Ark. Xeno Atlas grows up in the Bronx, his Sicilian grandmother's strange stories of animal spirits his only escape from the legacy of his mother's early death and his stern father's long absences as a common seaman. Shunted off to an isolated boarding school, with his father's activities abroad and the source of his newfound wealth grown increasingly mysterious, Xeno turns his early fascination with animals into a personal obsession: his search for the Caravan Bestiary. This medieval text, lost for eight hundred years, supposedly details the animals not granted passage on the Ark--griffins, hippogriffs, manticores, and basilisks--the vanished remnants of a lost world sometimes glimpsed in the shadowy recesses of our own. Xeno's quest takes him from the tenements of New York to the jungles of Vietnam to the ancient libraries of Europe--but it is only by riddling out his own family secrets that he can hope to find what he is looking for. A story of panoramic scope and intellectual suspense, The Bestiary is ultimately a tale of heartbreak and redemption.
Bestiary: Poems
by Donika KellyDonika Kelly's fierce debut collection, longlisted for the 2016 National Book Award and winner of the 2015 Cave Canem Poetry PrizeI thought myself lion and serpent. Thoughtmyself body enough for two, for we.Found comfort in never being lonely.What burst from my back, from my bones, what livedalong the ridge from crown to crown, from maneto forked tongue beneath the skin. What clamorwe made in the birthing. What hiss and rumbleat the splitting, at the horns and beard,at the glottal bleat. What bridges our back.What strong neck, what bright eye. What menagerieare we. What we've made of ourselves.--from "Love Poem: Chimera"Across this remarkable first book are encounters with animals, legendary beasts, and mythological monsters--half human and half something else. Donika Kelly's Bestiary is a catalogue of creatures--from the whale and ostrich to the pegasus and chimera to the centaur and griffin. Among them too are poems of love, self-discovery, and travel, from "Out West" to "Back East." Lurking in the middle of this powerful and multifaceted collection is a wrenching sequence that wonders just who or what is the real monster inside this life of survival and reflection. Selected and with an introduction by the National Book Award winner Nikky Finney, Bestiary questions what makes us human, what makes us whole.
Bestiary
by Robert MaselloA manuscript illuminated with fantastical creatures said to have roamed the Garden of Eden, the bestiary has been handed down throughout the centuries by one of the Arab world's most prominent families. Commissioned to restore it is the beautiful young art curator, Beth Cox. But it is Beth's husband, Carter -- a paleontologist making his own dire discoveries in Los Angeles's famed La Brea Tar Pits -- who will be led by the bestiary into a living, breathing menagerie of wonders-and horrors.
The Bestiary, or Procession of Orpheus
by Guillaume ApollinaireFirst Place, Large Not-for-Profit Publisher, Typographic Text, 2011 Washington Book Publishers Design and Effectiveness AwardsGuillaume Apollinaire’s first book of poems has charmed readers with its brief celebrations of animals, birds, fish, insects, and the mythical poet Orpheus since it was first published in 1911. Though Apollinaire would go on to longer and more ambitious work, his Bestiary reveals key elements of his later poetry, among them surprising images, wit, formal mastery, and wry irony. X. J. Kennedy’s fresh translation follows Apollinaire in casting the poems into rhymed stanzas, suggesting music and sudden closures while remaining faithful to their sense. Kennedy provides the English alongside the original French, inviting readers to compare the two and appreciate the fidelity of the former to the latter. He includes a critical and historical essay that relates the Bestiary to its sources in medieval "creature books," provides a brief biography and summation of the troubled circumstances surrounding the book’s initial publication, and places the poems in the context of Apollinaire’s work as a poet and as a champion of avant garde art. This short introduction to the work of an essentially modern writer includes four curious poems apparently suppressed from the first edition and reprints of the Raoul Dufy woodcuts published in the 1911 edition.
Bestias afuera
by Fabián Martínez SiccardiCon un manejo de la tensión y el suspenso poco frecuente en la literatura argentina, Bestias afuera indaga en las fuerzas primitivas y las pasiones incontrolables que a todos nos habitan. Premio Clarín de Novela 2013 Un joven agrónomo viaja a una estancia en la Patagonia para realizar un relevamiento de plagas. Lo acompaña su perro Atila, con el que tiene un vínculo más estrecho que con cualquier humano. En la soledad del valle lo esperan el dueño de casa, un hombre mayor afectado por una enfermedad degenerativa, y una mujer huraña y misteriosa que lo cuida, con su pequeño hijo. La inquietud va creciendo a poco de llegar: el aislamiento es extremo; la naturaleza, hostil; los animales que acechan en la región han hecho desaparecer el ganado; una presencia oscura y siniestra hace sentir su influencia en el lugar. Novela iniciática, relato de fantasmas, thriller psicológico, la narración arrastra al lector al borde de un precipicio escarpado en un clima constante de amenaza indefinida. El jurado ha dicho... «Bestias afuera narra los dramas que se producen en "la magnitud del aislamiento". Y es también la metáfora de la lucha entre el mal y el bien, entre los humanos y las bestias, una guerra de la que no siempre resulta derrotada la nobleza.» Juan Cruz «El autor crea un mundo complejo, atrayente y singular, a partir de su inusual combinación de fluidez en la narración, belleza en el modo y sensibilidad en la construcción de los personajes.» Eduardo Sacheri «Una obra que sostiene al lector, todo el tiempo, en estado de gracia pero también en tensión. Y lo logra con el lenguaje, con la prosa, creando una atmósfera inquietante mientras el autor nos lleva con él hasta el final, uno de los mejores momentos de esta novela.» Claudia Piñeiro
Las bestias negras
by Jaime MesaUna novela que desnuda la soberbia cultural y la deja frágil, completamente a la vista de todos. Con la vuelta a escena de Marcelo Combs, el inolvidable personaje de la novela Los predilectos, Jaime Mesa muestra que el drama de una vida puede seguir e incluso desarrollarse de forma paralela en un mundo de tercer nivel. Eliseo de la Sota es el hombre que mueve los hilos de la cultura en una entidad cualquiera, con un presupuesto que, aunque menor, es interesante. Su capacidad directiva va más allá de la organización de pequeños festivales, obras teatrales y conciertos menores: también mueve la vida de sus cuatro subordinados más cercanos, al grado de la humillación y la crueldad. Muy pronto, la suerte de este hombre, cuya carrera despegó al valerse de su gris estancia en Francia, trajes en rebaja y adulación sistemática, dará un giro radical. Su homosexualidad es exhibida públicamente tras la publicación deuna fotografía donde se besa con el legendario Marcelo Combs, el actor que llegó a un pueblito donde la miseria se vuelve servilismo y los anhelos de éxito son el pan de cada día. A partir de este instante, las "bestias" llenas de rencor no dudarán en abalanzarse sobre la vida del dirigente de media cepa. Las bestias negras es una novela sobre la ambición desmedida y la miseria en el entorno cultural, así como sobre la actitud ilusoria frente al concepto del deber ser de la estética y el arte. "Jaime Mesa se interna en los terrenos de la ambición y el vacío y regresa siempre con una buena historia que contar." -Antonio Ortuño-

The Bestseller
by Olivia GoldsmithFive authors are slotted for publication on a publisher's coveted fall list, but there will be only one bestseller. A hilarious look at the publishing world.
The Bestseller (Bestseller Oro Ser.)
by Olivia GoldsmithFrom a New York Times–bestselling author, comes this &“highly entertaining tale [with] considerable humor and some cynical fun at the expense of the book business&” (Publishers Weekly). At Davis & Dash, one of New York&’s most prestigious publishing houses, five new authors will be published—but only one of them will be a bestseller. They have worked long and hard to write their novels of romance and murder, drama and love, but the story behind the stories is even more exciting. And the vicious competition to get the right agent, the perfect editor, and the choice spot on the bestseller list must be seen to be believed. From the author of The First Wives Club, this &“dishy&” novel set in New York&’s book publishing industry (Glamour) is a fun behind-the-scenes romp with &“lots of romance and revenge&” (The Washington Post Book World). &“Extremely satisfying.&” —The New York Times Book Review
The Bestseller Code
by Matthew L. Jockers Jodie Archer"When a story captures the imagination of millions, that's magic. Can you qualify magic? Archer and Jockers just may have done so."--Sylvia Day, New York Times bestselling authorAsk most book people about massive success in the world of fiction, and you'll typically hear that it's a game of hazy crystal balls. The sales figures of E. L. James or Dan Brown, they'll say, are freakish--random occurrences in an unpredictable market. But what if there were an algorithm that could predict mega-bestsellers with stunning accuracy? What if it knew, just from reading an unpublished manuscript, not just that genre writers like John Grisham and Danielle Steel would sell in huge numbers, but also that authors such as Junot Diaz, Jodi Picoult, and Donna Tartt had signs of New York Times bestselling all over their pages? Thanks to Jodie Archer and Matthew Jockers, the algorithm exists, the code has been cracked, and the results are stunning. Fine-tuned on over 20,000 contemporary novels, the system analyzes themes, plot, character, setting, and also the frequencies of tiny but amazingly significant markers of style. The "bestseller-ometer" then makes predictions, with fascinating detail, about which specific combinations of these features will resonate with readers. Somehow, in all genres, it is right over eighty percent of the time.This book explains groundbreaking text mining research in accessible terms, but its real story is in what the algorithm reveals about reading and writing and how successful authorship works. It offers a new theory on the success of Fifty Shades of Grey. It explains why Gone Girl sold millions of copies. It reveals the most important theme in bestselling fiction and which topics just won't sell. And then there's "The One," the single most paradigmatic bestseller of the past thirty years that a computer picked from among thousands. The result is surprising, a bit ironic, and delightfully unorthodox.The project will be compelling and provocative for all book lovers and writers. It is an investigation into our intellectual and emotional responses to stories, as well as a big idea book about the relationship between creativity and technology. It turns conventional wisdom about book publishing on its head. The Bestseller Code will appeal to fiction lovers, data nerds, and those people who have enjoyed books by Malcolm Gladwell and Nassim Taleb.
