Ojo al cine
by Andrés CaicedoLibro que reúne lo mejor de los escritos de Andrés Caicedo sobre cine, muchos de estos publicados en Ojo al cine, la revista que él mismo fundó en los años setenta. Las reseñas que escribió Andrés Caicedo sobre cine no son convencionales, de hecho nada en su vida lo fue. Como la literatura, el rock y la salsa, el #séptimo arte# también era esencial para su existencia y uno de sus referentes constantes. El cine en sí mismo era un personaje y cada película que Caicedo veía se convertía en una obsesión. De ahí que los comentarios que componen este volumen sean pasionales, vibrantes y a la vez, sorprendentemente eruditos. Gracias a un laborioso trabajo de compilación realizado por Luis Ospina y Sandro Romero Rey, el libro Ojo al cine da a conocer la obra crítica de Caicedo y la cinefilia de una generación. Más de tres décadas después del suicidio de su autor, estos textos siguen despertando interés y todavía contagian la emoción del autor por el cine.

Old English Literature and the Old Testament
by Manish Sharma Michael FoxIt would be difficult to overestimate the importance of the Bible in the medieval world. For the Anglo-Saxons, literary culture emerged from sustained and intensive biblical study. Further, at least to judge from the Old English texts which survive, the Old Testament was the primary influence, both in terms of content and modes of interpretation. Though the Old Testament was only partially translated into Old English, recent studies have shown how completely interconnected Anglo-Latin and Old English literary traditions are.Old English Literature and the Old Testament considers the importance of the Old Testament from a variety of disciplinary perspectives, from comparative to intertextual and historical. Though the essays focus on individual works, authors, or trends, including the Interrogationes Sigewulfi, Genesis A, and Daniel, each ultimately speaks to the vernacular corpus as a whole, suggesting approaches and methodologies for further study.
Old Families of Louisiana
by Stanley ArthurOriginally published in 1931, Old Families of Louisiana was compiled in response to a demand for a comprehensive series of genealogical records of the foundation families of the state--families whose ancestors settled with Bienville in New Orleans at the time the famous old city was laid out in the crescent bend of the Mississippi River. This book also answers the call for information on those who came to Louisiana when the golden lilies of France, the castellated banner of Spain, the Union Jack of Great Britain, or the flag of fifteen stars and fifteen stripes waved over the land.During the compilation of the original data it became apparent that the present book would be greatly augmented in interest and value by the addition of genealogical records of other prominent foundation families besides the French and Spanish. For this reason, information was included on the English, Scottish, and Irish lineages whose representatives now form an integral part of the present-day population of Louisiana.In the seventy years since its first publication, Old Families of Louisiana has exceeded the original scope intended. In order to set a limit to its range, it was agreed that only those families settling in Louisiana before and up to the time of the beginning of the American domination in 1803 should be included. Old Families of Louisiana traces the genealogy of such traditional Louisiana families as Fortier, Claiborne, Kenner, Percy, Wiltz, Chalmette, Landry, Derbigny, Butler, St. Martin, and Wilkinson.
