I agree with you on the definition of feminism. I think what some people feel threatened by is the change.

I think I've read this before... maybe another view will help. I think it means that children's literature is still written by adults, and therefore it is still biased by the same prejudices (i.e....

vjscadence is right. Reading some critical introduction might help you understand all the meanings of La Casa de Bernalda Alba, unless you're familiarized with Spanish history during the Civil War.

Well, maybe the moral problem is whether Hamlet's actions (the few he performs in comparison to his continuous reflection) are right. If you think about it, he's trying to avenge his father's death,...

some people believe that the wind can affect people's emotions and actions. Actually, there's a little town in the south of Spain where there're strong winds, and people say that there are many...

The Five People You Meet In Heaven, by Mitch Albom.

Right, metal134! LeFanu definitely deserves a place in this thread! ;)

Thanks Alexei, that would be great to read! ;)

Well, if I'm not mistaken, it was the first trilogy which called the readers and the critics' attention... and the fact that those were the books she had written when the movie Interview with the...

Hello bo bara! I love Lorca! Actually, I live about 3 hours from the town where he was born and raised, Fuentevaqueros. I was also in his house because they turned it into a museum.

Hello all. There's a book called Sisterhood is Powerful, which is an anthology of writings from the Women's Liberation Movement, edited by Robin Morgan in 1970. This is something like my bedside book...

Thanks Lauren! Another thing, my aunt is gonna lend me La Sombra del Viento as soon as she's done with it ;)

I remember one of the characters of Tom Stoppard's play Travesties was named Tristam Tzara after the dadaist poet. Eagleheart, I don't know if you've read it, but that would give you a little more...

I came across an old edition of Boccaccio's Decameron. I was thinking about it as my next reading. Have you read it? Any opinions? Thanks!!

hmm... aren't actions based on thoughts?

this sounds like the eternal debate on the character of Hamlet :)

What can I say? I am from Spain, I've been speaking Spanish all my life and teaching it for a good while, and I love it. I admit that the grammar is not as easy to learn as that of other languages...

You're right crisaor, El Guardián Entre el Centeno is the more correct and the more widespread one, at least in Spain ;)

Hello all!! There goes my vote, let's keep this going! :)

Thanks for the reminder, Logos! There goes my vote! ;)

Hello! Welcome to the forum Nick Rubashov :)

As RobinHood3000 says, "por" has different meanings in Spanish. Here, Federico G. Lorca means that he was searching for words on/in his chest (both are valid,...

I'm with Pendragon on this one. I too found Moby Dick to be boring, and it wasn't a linguistic problem either. Sometimes in the past I found myself trying to read the book again, trying to find the...
