{"product_id":"carmen-de-burgos-catherine-davies-9780719097119","title":"Carmen de Burgos: Three Novellas: Confidencias, La Mujer Fr僘 and Pul de Claveles","description":"Carmen de Burgos (1867-1932), an influential journalist, socio-political activist, and a key literary figure in the cultural ferment of pre-war Madrid, is currently being rediscovered, having languished in a long and regrettable oblivion during the Franco years. This scholarly edition of three stories by de Burgos includes the unabridged texts, vocabulary, notes, chronology, bibliography, 'temas de debate y discusi', and a critical introduction. Confidencias is the fictional diary of a young woman, describing her first adulterous relationship and exploiting the narratological possibilities of the diary form. La mujer fr僘 is a vampire story featuring perhaps the very first pitiable vampire, or at least one of the earliest examples of this type, whilst ingeniously maintaining undecidability as to whether the protagonist is supernatural. Pul de claveles narrates a wedding-day elopement. Inspired by the real-life 'Crimen de N勀ar', Federico Garc僘 Lorca drew on both stories for his Bodas de sangre.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Abigail Lee Six\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0719097118\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780719097119\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manchester University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/28\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.38lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.81h x 5.06w x 0.36d","brand":"Abigail Lee Six","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44120112365823,"sku":"9780719097119","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4d18844a-1762-4638-b6b1-1ceff75c9a9b.jpg?v=1687412619","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/carmen-de-burgos-catherine-davies-9780719097119","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
