	Aris & Phillips Hispanic Classics Calderon: The Schism in England Translated by Ann L. Mackenzie and Kenneth Muir~ Admired by Shelley for 'its satisfying completeness', this thought-provoking and skilfully constructed play, which dramatizes the same subject as Shakespeare's Henry VIII, is one of its creator's most outstanding achievements. Understandably, Calderón offers an interpretation of King Henry's divorce from Catherine of Aragón and break with the Church of Rome which is markedly different from that given in Shakespeare's work. Yet, ... Hardback. Price GB £14.95
	Aris & Phillips Hispanic Classics Lopes: The English in Portugal 1383-1387 translated by Derek W Lomax and R J Oakley It is astonishing that this is the first English translation of these Chronicles, as they are undoubtably amongst the finest produced in the Middle Ages and treat an important episode in the Hundred Years War. Lopes' mastery of dramatic narrative and picturesque description, so ably captured in this translation, found a fit subject in the foreign interventions and the revolutionary changes that took place in the second half of the 14th ...

	Aris & Phillips Hispanic Classics Juan Ramón Jiménez: Selected Poems (Poesias escogidas) edited and translated by Salvador Ortiz-Carboneres Juan Ramón Jimenez (1881-1958) was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1956, yet his work remains far less well-known in the English-speaking world than it deserves. Jimenez was a prolific writer - his collected verse fills twenty volumes - and his early poems were first published whilst still in his teens. During the early twentieth century Jimenez wrote and published voraciously and was very active within ... Paperback. Price GB £15.00 Hardback. Price GB £35.00
	Aris & Phillips Hispanic Classics Lorca: The House of Bernarda Alba: A Drama of Women in the Villages of Spain edited and translated by Michael Jones and Salvador Ortiz-Carboneres with an introduction by Eric Southworth La casa de Bernarda Alba (The House of Bernarda Alba) was one of the last plays to be written by Lorca, shortly before he was executed by the Franco regime at the age of 38, in 1936. It was not performed until 1945 several years after his death. Along with Blood Wedding and Yerma it forms Lorca's Rural Trilogy. The play is based around five daughters who live with their fearsome and tyrannical mother. The daughters have been kept sheltered ... Paperback. Price GB £15.00 Hardback. Price GB £35.00
	Aris & Phillips Hispanic Classics Unamuno: Saint Manuel Bueno, Martyr edited and translated by Paul Burns and Salvador Ortiz-Carboneres Miguel de Unamuno y Jugo was born in Bilbao on 29th September 1864. He wrote novels, essays, poems and plays, and in addition to these he played an important part in the political and intellectual life of Spain - an involvement that led to his exile to Fuerteventura in 1924. San Manuel Bueno, mártir (1930) was his last novel before his death in 1936. It tells the story of a heroic priest who has lost his faith in immortality, a theme ... Paperback.

	Aris & Phillips Hispanic Classics Juan Ramon Jiménez: Platero and I translated by Salvador Ortiz-Carboneres Juan Ramón Jiménez, 1956 winner of the Nobel Prize, published Platero and I in 1914. Like Le Petit Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry and Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland, Platero and I is a book not only for children, but for adults as well. It is an allegory of the deepest human emotions. As with Don Quixote, in the Spanish golden Age, Platero and I has become the classic of 20th ... Paperback. Price GB £15.00 Hardback. Price GB £35.00
	Aris & Phillips Hispanic Classics Calderon: The Painter of his Dishonour, El pintor de su deshonra edited and translated by Alan K G Paterson Alan Paterson presents Calderon's original text, from manuscript and printed sources, with a skilful verse translation into English of a remarkable play, in which Calderon develops the motif of marital honour in quite original ways. The blending of deep pathos and humour anticipates the modern theatre of the absurd, though Calderon is pushing to the limits the license gained by Lope de Vega to mingle tragedy with comedy. The play incorporates ... Paperback. Price GB £15.00
	Aris & Phillips Hispanic Classics Cervantes: Exemplary Novels, Vol 1 Edited and translated by Lynn Williams and others The Little Gypsy Girl has always enjoyed enormous populatiry. Its success derives mainly from the charm of its protagonist, Peciosa. The novel is not only a romance tale in a touch gypsy atmosphere; it can also be seen as a study of feminine decision and independence in Preciosa, and of gradual maturing of the attitude of Juan/Andres towards her. The Generous Lover is a complex story which draws on Cervantes's experiences in captivity. ... Paperback. Out of print. Price GB £13.95 Hardback. Price GB £35.00

	Aris & Phillips Hispanic Classics The Book of Alexander (Libro de Alexandre) edited and translated with an introduction and notes by Peter Such and Richard Rabone The Libro de Alexandre is an epic poem about the life of Alexander the Great, written by an anonymous Spanish cleric in the thirteenth century. It is the most substantial poem (and almost certainly the first) composed in the learned cuaderna vía verse form and provides a unique insight into the intellectual world from which it sprang. The poem conveys the grim message of Alexander's life, the sense of hubris and the horror of ... Paperback. Price GB £25.00 Hardback. Price GB £45.00
