TÃtulo : Birdsong Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: Faulks, Sebastian, Autor Editorial: New York [US] : Vintage Books Fecha de publicación: 1993 Número de páginas: 483 p. Il.: 21 cm Dimensiones: impreso Idioma : Inglés (eng) Idioma original : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: AMERICAN LITERATURE, WORLD WAR I – NOVEL, SENTIMENTALISM IN LITERATURE Resumen: The novel tells two stories separated by time, but featuring characters connected through family. The novel’s main story is about Stephen Wraysford, focusing on his experiences during World War I. A secondary story features Elizabeth Benson, Stephen’s granddaughter, who discovers her grandfather’s journals and begins to learn about his life through them.
The book opens before the war, in Amiens, France. There, Stephen visits the home of his friend Rene and his wife, Isabelle. Rene is employed by a textile factory, and lives an outwardly happy, middle class existence with his much younger wife. Both Rene and Isabelle are unhappy in their marriage, however, and soon Stephen and Isabelle engage in an affair. This domestic discord is set against the political discord of unhappy industrial workers, who eventually go on strike.
Isabelle eventually reveals the relationship with Stephen to her husband. Rene throws Stephen out, and Isabelle leaves with him for southern France. There, Isabelle becomes pregnant, but does not reveal her pregnancy to Stephen. Instead, unsure of their relationship, she leaves to live with her sister and parents at their family home. Isabelle’s father arranges for her to return to Rene with her honor intact, though she still harbors deep feelings for Stephen. She never reaches out to him, however.Ubicación : 823.308/F262b Reserva

TÃtulo : Earthly powers Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: Burgess, Anthony, Autor Editorial: New York [US] : Penguin Books Fecha de publicación: 1981 Número de páginas: 648 p. Il.: 21 cm Dimensiones: impreso Idioma : Inglés (eng) Idioma original : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: ENGLISH LITERATURE, FICTION, LITERATURE - PHILOSOPHY AND LETTERS Resumen: Historical novel narrated by Kenneth Toomey, a successful but artistically unfulfilled writer, on his 81st birthday. The narrative spans the 20th century, exploring themes of good and evil, faith and doubt, and the impact of historical forces on individual lives. Toomey, a gay man estranged from his family and the Church, contrasts with his brother-in-law, Carlo Campanati, a charismatic priest who becomes Pope. The novel delves into complex moral questions, examining how good intentions can lead to evil, and features real-world events like the Jonestown massacre and Nazi atrocities.
The novel is framed by Toomey's 81st birthday and his recounting of his life, interspersed with his interactions with the Archbishop of Malta regarding Carlo's potential sainthood.
Toomey, a cynical and worldly writer, is contrasted with Carlo, an optimistic and devout priest, highlighting the novel's exploration of faith and morality.
The novel incorporates significant historical events of the 20th century, including both World Wars, the rise of fascism, and the Jonestown tragedy, demonstrating the impact of these events on individuals and society.
Burgess explores the complexities of human behavior, questioning whether good actions can lead to evil and whether evil is inherent or a product of circumstance.
The novel grapples with questions of faith, doubt, the nature of good and evil, the consequences of individual actions, and the role of historical forces in shaping human lives.
Burgess draws inspiration from figures like Somerset Maugham and Noël Coward for Toomey's character and Pope John XXIII for Carlo, while incorporating real-world events and figures into his fictional narrative.Ubicación : 823.914/B974e Reserva
