February 2017Die Eroberung von Mexiko
by Bernal Díaz del Castillo, Georg Adolf Narciß, Anneliese Botond, Georg Adolf Narciß, Tzvetan Todorov
Der Zusammenprall zweier Kulturwelten – die Chronik eines der folgenreichsten Geschehnisse der frühen Neuzeit Die Eroberung Mexikos und der Untergang der Azteken: Bernal Díaz del Castillo, der sich als Fußsoldat den Truppen des spanischen Konquistadors Hernán Cortés angeschlossen hatte, war Augenzeuge dieses Geschehens. Und er hat der Nachwelt mit seinen Aufzeichnungen eine der zuverlässigsten und informationsreichsten Quellen hinterlassen. Anders als Hernán Cortés in seinen Briefen an Kaiser Karl V. beschönigt Díaz del Castillo nichts: Er schildert anschaulich das grausame Vorgehen mit Kreuz und Schwert gegen die Eingeborenen, berichtet von den Intrigen unter den Spaniern, der Suche nach Schätzen und der ungleichen Aufteilung der Kriegsbeute, dem Unwillen der Soldaten, die sich zu Recht betrogen fühlten und sich dennoch der Faszination durch Cortés nicht entziehen konnten.

Teaching, Language & ReferenceFebruary 2013Ramon J. Sender's 'Cronica del alba'
by Catherine Davies, Anthony Trippett
Crónica del alba is a novel by Sender with a Civil War background, like the popular Réquiem por un campesino español, also in this series. The author evokes his childhood in rural Aragón at the beginning of the twentieth century in a book which has a charm and something of the character of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. The young Pepe fights to believe in himself as a hero in the face of a world, and a father bent on putting him down. He is supported by his girlfriend, Valentina, who believes in him implicitly and often ends up in as much trouble as him. But there is something more here than scrapes and mischief-making. It is written by an older and disillusioned Pepe who has known real heroism and is now detained in a prison camp for Spanish Civil War refugees in southern France. The novel raises challenging questions about the loss of hope, how people cope with disillusionment, and the place of writing in that process. Moreover, since the novel reflects Sender's own childhood it sheds light on the complex relationship of fact and fiction in autobiographical novels. ;

INVESTIGATIONS INTO MAGIC
by P. Maxwell-Stuart, Sarah Purdue
This is the first English translation of one of the most important, interesting and comprehensive discussions of the occult sciences ever published. Investigations into magic deals not only with magic in all its forms, from the manipulation of angelic and demonic powers to straightforward conjuring and illusion, but also with witchcraft, alchemy, astrology, divination, prophecy, and possession by evil spirits. In addition, Del Rio gives judges and confessors practical advice on the most effective ways of dealing with people who are accused of practising magic, and enlivens his whole discussion with anecdotes drawn from a remarkable range of sources, including his own experience. Nothing so panoramic had ever appeared before, and for the next one hundred and fifty years Investigations into magic was the indispensable reference work on the subject. ;
