La belleza es una herida /Beauty Is a Wound (9786073162944)



Una saga familiar marcada por el sexo, la brutalidad y un destino trágico que correrá paralelo a la historia reciente de su país, Indonesia. La belleza es una herida sorprende desde la primera página: de repente vemos a una mujer poderosa caminar por las calles de Halimunda, la ciudad indonesia donde nació. Viene del reino de los muertos, pero sigue rodeada del odio y la corrupción que fueron moneda común en ese país a lo largo de todo el siglo xx. Ella es Dewi Ayu, una famosa prostituta, hija de unos padres sin escrúpulos y madre de cuatro niñas que le dio el Diablo. Dewi aprendió desde muy joven a unir inteligencia y hermosura para sobrevivir a los horrores de una invasión enemiga y luego a tratar con soltura a los clientes del mejor burdel de la ciudad. Su único pesar es el carácter caprichoso de las hijas, dueñas de una belleza que es una herida abierta y sin cura. Dewi vuelve ahora, y en el mundo de los vivos le espera una sorpresa. Madres, hijas, hermanas, yernos, sobrinos, maridos, amantes e incluso fantasmas: gracias al talento de Kurniawan, nos llega de Indonesia una saga familiar marcada por el sexo, la brutalidad y un destino familiar grotesco que corre paralelo a la Historia con mayúscula. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The epic novel Beauty Is a Wound combines history, satire, family tragedy, legend, humor, and romance in a sweeping polyphony. The beautiful Indo prostitute Dewi Ayu and her four daughters are beset by incest, murder, bestiality, rape, insanity, monstrosity, and the often vengeful undead. Kurniawan's gleefully grotesque hyperbole functions as a scathing critique of his young nation's troubled past: the rapacious offhand greed of colonialism; the chaotic struggle for independence; the 1965 mass murders of perhaps a million Communists, followed by three decades of Suharto's despotic rule. Beauty Is a Wound astonishes from its opening line: One afternoon on a weekend in May, Dewi Ayu rose from her grave after being dead for twenty-one years.... Drawing on local sources--folk tales and the all-night shadow puppet plays, with their bawdy wit and epic scope--and inspired by Melville and Gogol, Kurniawan's distinctive voice brings something luscious yet astringent to contemporary literature.

Lectures on the Hyperreals : An Introduction to Nonstandard Analysis (9781461268413)

An introduction to nonstandard analysis based on a course given by the author. It is suitable for beginning graduates or upper undergraduates, or for self-study by anyone familiar with elementary real analysis. It presents nonstandard analysis not just as a theory about infinitely small and large numbers, but as a radically different way of viewing many standard mathematical concepts and constructions. It is a source of new ideas, objects and proofs, and a wealth of powerful new principles of reasoning. The book begins with the ultrapower construction of hyperreal number systems, and proceeds to develop one-variable calculus, analysis and topology from the nonstandard perspective. It then sets out the theory of enlargements of fragments of the mathematical universe, providing a foundation for the full-scale development of the nonstandard methodology. The final chapters apply this to a number of topics, including Loeb measure theory and its relation to Lebesgue measure on the real line....

Micah Clarke Arthur Conan Doyle (9781540596420)

Micah Clarke is an historical adventure novel by British author Arthur Conan Doyle, published in 1889 and set during the Monmouth Rebellion of 1685 in England. The book is a bildungsroman whose protagonist, Micah Clarke, begins as a boy seeking adventure in a rather romantic and naive way, falls under the influence of an older and vastly experienced, world-weary soldier of fortune, and becomes a grown up after numerous experiences, some of them very harrowing. In the process the book also records much of the history of the Monmouth Rebellion, from the point of view of someone living in 17th century England. Much of the focus is upon the religious dimension of the conflict. The Rebellion was prompted by the desire of many to replace the Catholic King James with a Protestant rival. Micah is the son of a committed Protestant father who sends Micah to fight in the same cause which he himself had fought in during the English Civil War. Micah fights at the Battle of Sedgemoor, which in a nar...
