	Aris & Phillips Hispanic Classics Federico Garcia Lorca: Gypsy Ballads Translated with an Introduction and Commentary by Robert G. Havard~ Lorca's famous Gypsy Ballads were composed in the 1920s, when his poetic style was evolving from the traditional towards the surrealist. The combination of the ballad's perennial narrative format with startling and allusive imagery has intrigued readers ever since. Dr Havard argues that the fatalism and tribalism of the gypsy settings relate to Lorca's own subjective dilemma and sexual anxieties, and that they ultimately make a deeply personal ... Paperback.

	Aris & Phillips Hispanic Classics Calderon: The Physician of his Honour, second edition Translated with an introduction, notes and appendix by Dian Fox with Donald Hindley, Second Edition by Dian Fox One of the most intellectually and emotionally engaging of the Spanish Golden Age (seventeenth century) plays, as well as the most controversial. Taking place during the reign of King Pedro of Castile (1350­1369), it is one of the spectacular 'honour dramas', in which the main characters confront compelling yet conflicting imperatives. The Physician of His Honour is beautiful in its poetry and unsettling in its resolution. For more than 350 years ... Paperback. Price GB £18.00
	Aris & Phillips Hispanic Classics The Poem of my Cid translated with an introduction and commentary by P. Such & John Hodgkinson One of the most powerful and sustained works in all medieval literature, without which no series could be considered complete. The Poem of My Cid deals with the exploits of the medieval Castilian warrior, beginning with the sorrow of his departure into exile and focusing on his determination to regain the favour of his king. The poem is rich in incident and around the strength of the epic hero is developed the theme of the relationship between ... Paperback. Price GB £15.00 Hardback.

	Aris & Phillips Hispanic Classics Christopher Columbus: Journal of the First Voyage Edited and Translated with an Introduction and Notes by B.W. Ilf When Columbus returned to Spain from his momentous first journey in the Spring of 1493, he presented his Journal to Queen Isabella. Unfortunately no complete copy has survived. The loss would have been irreparable had it not been for the efforts of Bartolomé de las Casas whose digest survives in the Biblioteca Nacional, Madrid. The Journal, even in its abbreviated form, is a fascinating day-to-day account of the Admiral's discovery of Cuba ... Paperback. Price GB £15.00
	Aris & Phillips Hispanic Classics Buero Vallejo: The Shot by David Johnston It was Buero's Historia de una escalera (1949) which restored serious and worthwhile drama, virtually at a stroke, to the beleaguered post-Civil War Spanish stage. Since then, Buero has premiered over twenty-five full length plays in Spain, and has seen his theatre translated into most of the world's major languages. His work has received many awards and prizes over the years, including the Premio Nacional de Literatura, but the ... Paperback. Price GB £15.00 Hardback. Price GB £40.00
	Aris & Phillips Hispanic Classics The Book of the Lover and the Beloved by Ramon Llull, translated and edited by Mark D. Johnston Ramon LLull (1232-1316) was born the son of a prosperous Catalan merchant and spent his youth pursuing worldly pursuits, until a series of powerful visions of Christ moved him to devote his life entirely to serving God. One of his lifelong ambitions was to write a book to counter the "errors of the infidels", to which end he studied Arabic and immersed himself in whatever arabic texts he could obtain. The Book of the Lover is one of the most ... Paperback. Price GB £15.00 Hardback. Publisher's Price GB £40.00, Our Price GB £9.95
	Aris & Phillips Hispanic Classics Antonio Buero Vallejo: In the Burning Darkness translation, introduction and notes by Philip G. Johnston Arguably Spain's leading playwright of the twentieth century, Antonio Buero-Vallejo published thirty original plays. In the Burning Darkness was the first play he wrote. The seminal, and lasting, significance of this play was confirmed when an extract from it was read over Buero-Vallejo's grave on the day of his burial. In the Burning Darkness describes a teaching centre for young people who are blind, where a false unity ... Paperback. Price GB £15.00 Hardback. Price GB £35.00
	Aris & Phillips Hispanic Classics Valle Inclan: The Grotesque Farce of Mr Punch the Cuckold Translated by Robin Warner and Dominic Keown It may well be the sheer virtuosity of its writing that has deprived English audiences hitherto of an opportunity to appreciate Los cuernos de Don Friolera. This comic masterpiece by Spain's most innovative modern dramatist provides a provocatively sardonic treatment of marital infidelity and honourable revenge. Intricate in construction and thoughtful in the issues it raises, the play is nonetheless vivid in its impact as it veers ... Paperback. Price GB £15.00 Hardback. Price GB £35.00
	Aris & Phillips Hispanic Classics Pedro Calderón de la Barca: Life's A Dream translated and with an introduction by Michael Kidd "What is life? A frenzy. What is life? An illusion, a shadow, a fiction; and the greatest good is fleeting, for all life is a dream, and even dreams are but dreams." That is the haunting lesson learned by Prince Sigismund in Life's a Dream (La vida es sueño), the best known and most widely admired play of Catholic Europe's greatest dramatist, Pedro Calderón de la Barca. Calderón's long life (1600-1681) ... Paperback. Price GB £18.00 Hardback. Price GB £35.00
	Aris & Phillips Hispanic Classics Gil Vicente: Three Discovery Plays: Auto da Barca do Inferno, Exortaçao da Guerra, Auto da India edited and translated by Anthony J. Lappin The three plays edited and translated in this volume are strongly linked to what we now think of as the Portuguese Discoveries. All three are fundamentally concerned with the expansion of Portugal in Africa and India through either crusade or commerce. In the introductions to the plays, the playwright's social rôle as a court dramatist is emphasized and his dramatic productions are set firmly within the political concerns of his time. ...
