Arturo Pérez-Reverte

Narrative Tricks and Narrative Strategies

By: Anne L. Walsh

The complex narrative technique of one of Spain's most renowned contemporary authors. The writings of Arturo Pérez-Reverte, one of Spain's most renowned contemporary authors, have been described as a minefield. This monograph examines the complexities behind the narrative technique employed in creating such a minefield, including an analysis of the role played by both male and female characters, the relevance of the past as a motif, and aspects of the role of storytelling in creating mystery where none should exist. Both Revertian novelsand journalistic writing are seen to be part of an over-all game which is played between their author and his readers. Film, too, forms part of the material reviewed as, though Pérez-Reverte is not a script writer, many films have been based on his novels. The text-centred analysis concludes that the themes of interest in all Revertian output revolve around two main areas: the significance of the past, whether historical, cultural, or literary, andthe role of the written word in communicating, in rescuing and in challenging versions of that past in order to combat what Pérez-Reverte terms 'dismemory'. ANNE L. WALSH lectures in Hispanic Studies at University College, Cork.

The Death of Edith Todd

By: Anne L. Walsh

When Edith Todd is struck down in a hit-and-run incident on a stormy November evening in 1999, police assume her death is an accident. But her neighbour Beth Langille knows better. As captain of the local Block Watch, Edith was straightlaced and nosy, making many enemies while she attempted to thwart local criminals. Now, Beth must start her own investigation after police write her off as just another busybody. Beth’s suspicions grow when she learns about an old locket found under Edith’s garage just before she died—a locket that belonged to a woman who went missing in the sixties. Could Edith’s death have something to do with the missing Emma Mahoney? Or was she perhaps targeted by a former-neighbour’s con-artist nephew intent on stealing his uncle’s fortune? Though her work as an infection control nurse requires sleuth-like abilities, Beth recognizes she needs helps and enlists the services of a former policeman, Cameron Ross. But with his mind fixed on solving Emma Mahoney’s cold case, will Beth be able to find justice for Edith?

Fictional Portrayals of Spain's Transition to Democracy

Transitional Fantasies

By: Anne L. Walsh

This manuscript looks at a selection of narratives published in Spain during the transition to democracy and compares them with more recent publications. The main focus here is how fiction brings an extra dimension to the recreation of the past, by adding imagination to historical fact. One effect of this is to challenge readers or spectators to question the effect the reliability of the narrator has on conviction about the events told. By using a specific moment in time, Spain’s Transition, it will be seen that memory, history and imagination all blend together to create very different stories, but all are linked with the idea that the past will always haunt the present and actions from the past will have far-reaching consequences. Texts analysed here include work by Javier Cercas, Eduardo Mendoza, Manuel Vázquez Montalbán, Rosa Montero, Arturo Pérez-Reverte, and Gonzalo López Alba, as well as episodes from two popular TV series, Cuéntame cómo pasó and Protagonistas de la Transición.

Basic Nursing

Essentials for Practice

By: Patricia Ann Potter,Anne Griffin Perry

Building on the strengths of the fourth edition, Basic Nursing: Essentials for Practice is back in a new edition! Thoroughly updated and revised to provide a more focused and engaging presentation, this new edition offers the basic principles, concepts, and skills needed by nursing students. The five-step nursing process returns to provide a consistent, logical organizational framework, with a clear writing style and numerous learning aids. An increased emphasis on caring, along with new boxes on Focused Client Assessment and Outcome Evaluation, reflect current practice trends. This new edition is better than ever! Five-Step Nursing Process provides a consistent organizational framework. More than 40 nursing skills are presented in a clear, 2-column format with rationales for all steps. Procedural Guidelines boxes provide streamlined step-by-step instructions for performing basic skills. Growth and Development chapter and age-related considerations throughout clinical chapters help prepare students to care for clients of all ages. Sample Nursing Care Plans highlight defining characteristics in assessment data, include client goals and expected outcomes in the planning section, and provide rationales for each nursing intervention. Progressive Case Studies follow the interactions of a client and nurse throughout the chapter to illustrate steps in the nursing process and develop critical thinking skills. Brief coverage of higher level concepts including research, theory, professional roles, and management, maintains the text's focus on essential, basic content. The narrative style makes the text more engaging and appealing. Focused Client Assessment boxes provide specific guidelines for factors to assess, questions and approaches, and physical assessment. Content on delegation is discussed throughout the narrative and specific guidelines are included for each skill. Skills now include Unexpected Outcomes and Interventions to alert for potential undesirable responses and provide appropriate nursing actions. Caring in Nursing is presented in a new chapter and as a thread throughout the text. Outcome Evaluation are based on the chapter's case study and provide guidelines on how to ask questions and evaluate care based on the answers received. NIC and NOC are discussed in the Nursing Process chapter to provide an overview of these taxonomies encountered in practice. NCLEX-style multiple-choice questions at the end of each chapter help students evaluate learning.
