The Wonders

By: Elena Medel

“The Wonders is a poet’s novel, delicate but strong, impressing its images firmly on the imagination.” —Hilary Mantel LONGLISTED FOR THE DUBLIN LITERARY AWARD NOW TRANSLATED INTO FIFTEEN LANGUAGES From award-winning Spanish poet Elena Medel comes a mesmerizing new novel of class, sex, and desire. Already an international sensation, The Wonders follows Maria and Alicia through the streets of Madrid, from job to job and apartment to apartment, as they search for meaning and stability in a precarious world and unknowingly trace each other’s footfalls across time. Maria moved to the city in 1969, leaving her daughter with her family but hoping to save enough to take care of her one day. She worked as a housekeeper, then a caregiver, and later a cleaner, and somehow she was always taking care of someone else. Two generations later, in 2018, Alicia was working at the snack shop in Madrid’s Atocha train station when it overflowed with protestors and strikers. All women—and so many of them—protesting what? Alicia wasn’t entirely sure. She couldn’t have known that Maria was among them. Alicia didn’t have time for marches; she was just trying to hang on until the end of her shift, when she might meet someone to take her away for a few hours, to make her forget. Readers will fall in love with Maria and Alicia, whose stories finally converge in the chaos of the protests, the weight of the years of silence hanging thickly in the air between them. The Wonders brings half a century of the feminist movement to life, and launches an inimitable new voice in fiction. Medel’s lyrical sensibility reveals her roots as a poet, but her fast-paced and expansive storytelling show she’s a novelist ahead of her time.

Memory

Neuropsychological, Imaging and Psychopharmacological Perspectives

By: Gérard Emilien,Cécile Durlach,Elena Antoniadis,Martial Van der Linden,Jean-Marie Maloteaux

Memory: Neuropsychological, Imaging and Psychopharmacological Perspectives reviews critically the impact of recent neuropsychological and biological discoveries on our understanding of human memory and its pathology. Too often, insights from clinical, neurological and psychopharmacological fields have remained isolated and mutually unintelligible. Therefore the first part of this book provides both clinicians and neuroscientists with a broad view of the neuropsychology of memory, and the psychobiological processes it involves, including recent advances from imaging technology and psychopharmacology research. In the second part the authors go on to cover a comprehensive range of memory assessments, dysfunctions, impairments and treatments. This compendium of current research findings will prove an invaluable resource for anyone studying, researching or practising in the field of memory and its disorders.

Modern Literatures in Spain

By: Jo Labanyi,Luisa Elena Delgado

Jo Labanyi and Luisa Elena Delgado provide the first cultural history of modern literatures in Spain. With contributors Helena Buffery, Kirsty Hooper, and Mari Jose Olaziregi, they showcase the country’s cultural richness and complexity by working across its four major literary cultures – Castilian, Catalan, Galician, and Basque – from the eighteenth century to the present. Engaging critically with the concept of the “national”, Modern Literatures in Spain traces the uneven institutionalization of Spain’s diverse literatures in a context of Castilian literary hegemony, as well as examining diasporic and exile writing . The thematically organized chapters explore literary constructions of subjectivity, gender, and sexuality; urban and rural imaginaries; intersections between high and popular culture; and the formation of a public sphere. Throughout, readings are attentive to the multiple ways in which literature serves as a barometer of cultural responses to historical change. An introduction to major cultural debates as well as an original analysis of key texts, this book is essential reading for students and scholars with an interest in the literatures and cultures of Spain.

Theoretical Computer Science

9th Italian Conference, ICTCS 2005, Siena, Italy, October 12-14, 2005, Proceedings

By: Mario Coppo,Elena Lodi

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Theoretical Computer Science, ICTCS 2005, held at the Certosa di Pontignano, Siena, Italy, in October 2005. The 29 revised full papers presented together with an invited paper and abstracts of 2 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 83 submissions. The papers address all current issues in theoretical computer science and focus especially on analysis and design of algorithms, computability, computational complexity, cryptography, formal languages and automata, foundations of programming languages and program analysis, natural computing paradigms (quantum computing, bioinformatics), program specification and verification, term rewriting, theory of logical design and layout, type theory, security, and symbolic and algebraic computation.

A Descriptive Grammar of Hindko, Panjabi, and Saraiki

By: Elena Bashir,Thomas J. Conners

Hindko, Panjabi, and Saraiki are three closely related, geographically contiguous languages of Pakistan. Together, they are the native language of some 125 million people. Panjabi alone ranks among the 15 most widely spoken languages in the world. The Grammar of Hindko, Panjabi, and Saraiki provides a comparative description of these three language varieties, focusing, where possible, on the variety of Hindko spoken in Abbottabad, the Panjabi spoken in Lahore, and the Saraiki spoken in Multan. Based on both fieldwork and corpus research, the grammar provides coverage of the phonology, orthography, morphology, and syntax of the language, with extensive exemplification presented in the native Perso-Arabic script along with standard Roman representations and morphological analysis. Written in an accessible style from a basic linguistic theory perspective, this work will be of use to linguistic researchers, language scholars, and students of the languages of Pakistan and South Asia.

Cuda

By: Elena Medel

Jakie znaczenie ma w naszym życiu rodzina, a jakie pieniądze? Co się stanie, jeśli matka postanowi, że nie będzie opiekować się córką? Co kiedy córka podejmie taką decyzje w stosunku do matki? Jak bardzo bylibyśmy innym, gdybyśmy urodzili się w innym miejscu, innym czasie, innym ciele? Książka opowiada o losach dwóch kobiet: Maríi, która pod koniec lat sześćdziesiątych XX wieku szukając pracy z Kordoby trafia do Madrytu, oraz Alicii, urodzonej ponad trzydzieści lat później, która pokonuje tę samą drogę, choć z zupełnie innych przyczyn. Co je dzieli? Co je łączy? Co zyskały, co straciły? Cuda to podróż przez ostatnie kilkadziesiąt lat historii Hiszpanii, od upadku dyktatury po wybuch feminizmu, historii opowiedzianej z perspektywy peryferii wielkiego miasta, głosami – i ciałami – tych, które nie mogą demonstrować swoich przekonań, gdyż muszą pracować, aby związać koniec z końcem.
