The ArtsJune 2012The cinema of Iciar Bollaín
by Isabel Santaolalla, Nuria Triana-Toribio, Andy Willis
Director, actress, scriptwriter and producer, Iciar Bollaín is one of the liveliest of contemporary young Spanish filmmakers and the first female director to have had a film (También la lluvia, 2010) shortlisted by the American Film Academy. Through detailed analysis of film form, socio-cultural contexts and conditions of production and consumption, the book opens up key issues on gender, production, film authorship, the mediation of socio-historical realities and the whole question of 'women's cinema'. Covering all aspects of her career, this book begins by taking in her work in front of the camera, beginning with her emergence as a teenage star in Victor Erice's El Sur (1983), and following on with discussions of her mature roles, such as Un paraguas para tres and Leo . Discussion of her work as a producer and director focus on production and form, as well as on the socio-historical contexts to which they belong. Film scholars and students interested in the increasingly prominent place of modern Spanish cinema will find this highly readable book an indispensable guide to an outstanding film-maker who in her directed films addresses some of the more vibrant of contemporary themes: female friendship in Hola, ¿estás sola?, immigration in Flores de otro mundo, domestic violence in Te doy mis ojos, tensions between public and private commitments in Mataharis, and socio-economic exploitation in También la lluvia. ;

The ArtsApril 2019Daniel Calparsoro
by Nuria Triana-Toribio, Ann Davies, Andy Willis
Daniel Calparsoro, a director who has made a crucial contribution to contemporary Spanish and Basque cinema, has provoked strong reactions from the critics. Reductively dismissed as a works of crude violence by those lamenting a 'lost golden age' of Spanish filmmaking, Calparsoro's films in fact reveal a more complex interaction with trends and traditions in both Spanish and Hollywood cinema. This book is the first full-length study of the director's work, from his early social-realist films set in the Basque Country to his later forays into the genres of the war and horror. It offers an in-depth film-by-film analysis while simultaneously exploring the director's position in the contemporary Spanish context, the tension between directors and critics and the question of national cinema in an area - the Basque Country - of heightened national and regional sensitivities.

Daniel Calparsoro, a director who has provided a crucial contribution to the contemporary scene in Spanish and Basque cinema, has provoked strong reactions from the critics. Reductively dismissed as a purveyor of crude violence by those critics lamenting a 'lost golden age' of Spanish filmmaking, Calparsoro's films reveal in fact a more complex interaction with trends and traditions in both Spanish and Hollywood cinema. This book is the first full-length study of the director's work, from his early social realist films set in the Basque Country to his later forays into the genres of the war and horror film.

April 2013Der verlorene Freund
Roman
by Carlos María Domínguez, Susanne Lange
»Der verlorene Freund« erzählt von einer gedankenlosen Geste mit verhängnisvollen Folgen und der notwendigen Illusion menschlicher Nähe. Zwei Männer kommen ins Gespräch, lernen sich kennen, freunden sich an. Eines Tages stürzt der eine, ein passionierter Kunstsammler, sich aus dem Fenster, der andere bleibt ratlos zurück. Er nimmt, um die Beweggründe des Verstorbenen zu verstehen, Kontakt zu dessen Familie und Bekannten auf. Eine seltsame Geschichte zeichnet sich ab, die Spur führt ihn in eine gottverlassene Bergarbeitersiedlung voller sonderbarer Figuren und zurück zu einem dunklen Familiengeheimnis. Und während er sich dort in den Unwägbarkeiten eines anderen Lebens zu verlieren droht, macht er schließlich eine Entdeckung von niederschmetternder Einfachheit. Carlos María Domínguez, der große Solitär der südamerikanischen Literatur, hat einen großen kleinen Roman von eindringlicher Schönheit geschrieben, über Verlust und Verlorenheit und darüber, dass wir auch die nicht kennen, die uns vertraut sind.

Children's & YADecember 2019The Middle
by Richa Jha and Eva Sanchez Gomez
The Middle is a story of a journey within a journey. A voracious reader, Azma, whose mind is full of questions as she reads, finds that the more books she consumes, the more the whys and hows in them consume her. One night, a torn scrap of paper floats into her room, carrying an incomplete line within its crinkles. She desperately searches for any missing words to complete the lonely phrase but failing at each attempt, she finally turns to writing her own beginning and end. The pages of The Middle are filled with surreal creatures - formidable, terrifying, looming – and these represent the fears and doubts of a mind struggling to make sense of the worlds captured within those books that only partially satisfy her as a reader. Azma embarks on an incomplete journey, ready to create its origin and end, finally realising the answers to all her impossible questions can only come to her when she writes her own version of the story. It is only then that the haunting creatures begin to soften and harmlessly melt away into themselves. Richa Jha’s lyrical prose and Eva Sanchez Gomez’s breathtaking visual poetry come together to narrate a tale that is both stunning and thought-provoking. For all the restless creative souls out there, The Middle presents an all-familiar trajectory of creating something new.

The ArtsJune 2012Alejandro Amenábar
by Barry Jordan, Nuria Triana-Toribio, Andy Willis
Since the release of his first feature (Tesis) in 1996, Alejandro Amenábar has become the 'golden boy' of Spanish filmmaking, its 'King Midas', - a bankable star director - whose brand virtually guarantees quality, big audiences and domestic box office success. He has directed three of the biggest grossing movies in Spanish film history and has enjoyed enormous international and critical acclaim (including an Oscar for Best Foreign Film for Mar Adentro/The Sea Inside, 2004). With Alejandro Amenábar, Jordan provides the first full-length study in English of Amenábar's shorts and feature films. Known for his spectacular imagery, sophisticated editing, memorable sound-tracks and challenging subject matter, Jordan shows how Amenábar makes a serious and socially aware, exportable 'middlebrow' cinema, designed for global audiences. There is also a detailed analysis of his engagement with popular film genres as the basis for an auteur cinema, and Jordan incorporates a reappraisal of Amenábar's auteurism as fundamentally decentred and shared. The book will be an essential resource for teachers, students, scholars and fans of Amenábar. It will also appeal to a wider readership, such as those who work in the film, media and culture industries as well as those who have a general interest in the best of Spanish, European and World cinema. ;

The ArtsDecember 2022The cinema of Pedro Almodóvar
by Ana María Sanchez-Arce
This book offers a comprehensive film-by-film analysis of Spain's most famous living director, Pedro Almodóvar. It shows how Almodóvar's films draw on various national cinemas and genres, including Spanish cinema of the dictatorship, European art cinema, Hollywood melodrama and film noir. It also argues that Almodóvar's work is a form of social critique, his films consistently engaging with and challenging stereotypes about traditional and contemporary Spain in order to address Spain's traumatic historical past and how it continues to inform the present. Drawing on scholarship in both English and Spanish, the book will be of interest to undergraduate and postgraduate students of film studies and Hispanic studies, scholars of contemporary cinema and general readers with a passion for the films of Pedro Almodóvar.

Children's & YA2020The After-Time Chronicles
One Small Spark
by Andy Woodage
In the footsteps of Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series comes Andy Woodage's debut novel and our entrance into his bio-engineered fantasy world. The After-Time Chronicles: One Small Spark is a young-adult fantasy novel of good, evil, genetically engineered creatures, romance, blood, and the search for belonging. Imagine a world without oil, where metals are only available if they can be salvaged or recycled. Imagine if coal was running out. It’s a world where armies no longer build metal monsters, but biological horrors. A world where genetic engineering has become the art of war. This is 12-year-old Jothan’s world. Orphaned by a terrible accident, he dreams of leaving his uneventful life with his grandparents on the family’s griffin farm. However, when a catastrophic attack wipes out every homestead in The Zoological Zone, his world is turned upside down. He finds himself thrust into a story larger than he ever dreamed, embarking on a rough journey with a mysteriously appearing warrior to the fabled ‘Temple of Elohim’. Accompanied by his best friend, the griffin Gozell, Jothan sets off across a land ravaged by poverty and wild creatures. Battling his way across the dangerous landscape, his eyes are opened to an empire in the grip of war and unrest... with the ever increasing weight of his role in events to come. Will they make it to the Temple? Will they be welcomed when they arrive? Can Jothan unravel the secrets that seem to control the lives of everyone he meets, including his mysterious saviour?

October 2023Andy Warhol
Little People, Big Dreams. Deutsche Ausgabe | Kinderbuch ab 4 Jahre
by María Isabel Sánchez Vegara, Timothy Hunt, Svenja Becker
Mit acht Jahren wurde Andy Warhol, der schon immer etwas bleicher aussah als alle anderen, sehr krank. Die lange Zeit im Bett vertrieb er sich mit Comicheften und er begann zu malen, aus Zeitungen schnitt er Fotos von Hollywoodstars und Gebrauchsgegenständen aus. Seine Kunstwerke zeigten häufig die alltäglichsten Dinge. Nicht allen gefiel das. Was für ein Künstler soll das sein, der die Dose einer Tomatensuppe gleich 32-mal auf dieselbe Leinwand malt. Heute ist Andy Warhol der erfolgreichste und bekannteste Pop-Art-Künstler seiner Zeit, weil er aus Alltäglichem Kunst gemacht hat. Little People, Big Dreams erzählt von den beeindruckenden Lebensgeschichten großer Menschen: Jede dieser Persönlichkeiten, ob Philosophin, Forscherin oder Sportler, hat Unvorstellbares erreicht. Dabei begann alles, als sie noch klein waren: mit großen Träumen.

March 2009Gaudï in Manhattan
Eine phantastische Erzählung
by Carlos Ruiz Zafón
»Jahre später, als ich zuschaute, wie sich das Trauergefolge meines Meisters durch den Paseo de Gracia bewegte, erinnerte ich mich an den Tag, an dem ich Gaudí kennengelernt hatte und sich mein Schicksal für immer änderte.« Ein junger Architekturstudent begleitet den berühmten Architekten nach Amerika, wo Antonio Gaudí den Auftrag, einen Wolkenkratzer zu bauen, erhalten soll. Doch als sie in Manhattan ankommen, nehmen die Dinge einen ganz anderen Verlauf. Das Phantastische ist, wie Carlos Ruiz Zafón, der Autor des Welterfolgs Der Schatten des Windes, sagt, »der Grund- und Schlußstein im großen Palast der Literatur«. Das bestätigt auch diese kleine phantastische Erzählung, die Karl-Georg Hirsch mit unheimlichen Zeichnungen illustriert hat.
