A slightly revised version of a Ph. D. dissertation submitted to the University of Cambridge in September 1993.

This volume contains a selection of 112 poems taken from Spanish poet, Jose Bergamin's poetry.

Part spy novel, part romance, part Henry James, Your Face Tomorrow is a wholly remarkable display of the immense gifts of Javier Marias. With Fever and Spear, Volume One of his unfolding novel Your Face Tomorrow, he returns us to the rarified world of Oxford (the delightful setting of All Souls and Dark Back of Time), while introducing us to territory entirely new--espionage. Our hero, Jaime Deza, separated from his wife in Madrid, is a bit adrift in London until his old friend Sir Peter Wheeler--retired Oxford don and semi-retired master spy--recruits him for a new career in British Intelligence. Deza possesses a rare gift for seeing behind the masks people wear. He is soon observing interviews conducted by Her Majesty's secret service: variously shady international businessmen one day, would-be coup leaders the next. Seductively, this metaphysical thriller explores past, present, and future in the ever-more-perilous 21st century. This compelling and enigmatic tour de force from one of Europe's greatest writers continues with Volume Two, Dance and Dream.

Beginning with a reassessment of the 1920s and 30s, this text looks beyond a consideration of just the most successful Spanish playwrights of the time, and discusses also the work of directors, theorists, actors and designers.

Four brilliant essays by the author of 'Hermes and His Children' hailing the elemental force of the irrational in a world that is all too often 'explained' and 'understood': Moon Madness -- Titanic Love; Cultural Anxiety; Reflections on the Duende; Consciousness of Failure. López-Pedraza passionately urges us to acknowledge our roots in the soul and our debt to the unknowable.
