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

TÃtulo : A sand county almanac Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: Leopold, Aldo, Autor Editorial: New York [US] : Oxford University Press Fecha de publicación: 1987 Número de páginas: 228 p. Il.: 21 cm Dimensiones: impreso Idioma : Inglés (eng) Idioma original : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: NATURAL HISTORY -OUTDOOR BOOKS, NATURE CONSERVATION - UNITED STATES, STUDY, ECOLOGICAL ESSAY, ENVIRONMENTAL PHILOSOPHY Resumen: The book begins with a set of essays entitled "Sand County Almanac," divided into twelve sections, one for each month. These essays primarily follow changes in the ecology of Leopold's farm near Baraboo, Wisconsin. (In fact, there is no "Sand County" in Wisconsin. The term "sand counties" refers to an area of the state with sandy soil.) It includes anecdotes and observations about the reactions of flora and fauna to the seasons, as well as mentions of conservation issues.
The book's second section, "Sketches Here and There," shifts the rhetorical focus from time to space. The essays are organized thematically around farms and wilderness areas in Canada, Mexico, and the United States. Some of these essays are autobiographical. "Red Legs Kicking," for example, recounts Leopold's childhood hunting experience in Iowa. The pivotal essay "Thinking Like a Mountain" recalls another, later hunting experience that was pivotal to Leopold's later perspectives. In this essay, Leopold describes the death of a female wolf shot by his pack at a time when conservationists operated under the premise that eliminating top predators would lead to an abundance of prey. The essay offers a nontechnical characterization of the trophic cascade, where the elimination of a single species leads to dire consequences for the rest of the ecosystem.
The book concludes with a section of philosophical essays grouped under the title "The Result." Here, Leopold explores the ironies of conservation: to promote a greater appreciation of wilderness and generate the necessary political support, recreational use of nature is encouraged, which ultimately destroys it.Ubicación : 508.73/L526s Reserva
