Synopsis Alemania by : Julio Camba

Este libro, Alemania. impresiones de un español, fue publicado hace casi un siglo, en 1916, y no es más que un puñado de crónicas periodísticas sobre la Alemania de 1912, aunque también sea mucho más. La Alemania que retrató Camba ya no existe, en realidad ni siquiera existía ya cuando se publicó el libro en plena Primera Guerra Mundial, pero es la Alemania de Camba, el primer gran periodista del siglo xx. Sus brevísimos y acerados artículos conspiran unánimemente contra la solemnidad y el lugar común y son un prodigio de observación y naturalidad, además de encerrar siempre una inmensa carga humorística de raíz hondamente galaica. A Camba, a todo Camba, pero en especial al primero, el más bien humorado y el más escéptico, puede seguir, tras casi 100 años, leyéndosele como lo que es, un escritor plenamente actual, un escritor de nuestro tiempo. Julio Camba Andreu (Vilanova de Arousa, 1884-Madrid, 1962) fue durante la segunda y tercera década del siglo XX uno de los más singulares corresponsales extranjeros que haya tenido nunca la prensa española. Su maestría no ha dejado de ser elogiada por escritores tan distintos y variados como Miguel Delibes, Francisco Umbral, Cándido, Manuel Vicent o Antonio Muñoz Molina. A los dieciséis años se escapó de casa y llegó hasta Buenos Aires. Allí se introdujo en los círculos anarquistas y redactó incendiarias proclamas y panfletos. Al final fue deportado del país junto con otros anarquistas. De regreso a España empezó a colaborar en la prensa local gallega y en publicaciones revolucionarias del Madrid de comienzos de siglo, y su prosa no tardó en ocupar las columnas de los más importantes periódicos (El País, España Nueva, La Correspondencia de España, El Mundo, La Tribuna, ABC, El Sol, Ahora...). De sus quince libros publicados, siete son crónicas de viaje para diversos periódicos: Playas, ciudades y montañas (Galicia, París y Suiza), Londres, Alemania (los tres de 1916), Un año en el otro mundo (1917) (Nueva York), La rana viajera (1920) (España), Aventuras de una peseta (1923) (Alemania, Londres, Italia y Portugal) y La ciudad automática (1932) (Nueva York de nuevo). Esta edición se presenta con un prólogo de Francisco Fuster y en ella se recogen las crónicas publicadas originalmente entre mayo de 1912 y enero de 1913 en La Tribuna, y, a partir de esta fecha y hasta marzo de 1915 en ABC.

Synopsis A Grammar of Warrongo by : Tasaku Tsunoda

Warrongo is an extinct Australian Aboriginal language that used to be spoken in northeast Australia. This volume is largely based on the rich data recorded from the last fluent speaker. It details the phonology, morphology and syntax of the language. In particular, it provides a truly scrutinizing description of syntactic ergativity - a phenomenon that is rare among the world's language. It also shows that, unlike some other Australian languages, Warrongo has noun phrases that are configurational. Overall this volume shows what can be documented of a language that has only one speaker.

Synopsis Gaban by : Premchand,

Gaban, first published in 1931, five years before Premchand's death, gives us a fascinating glimpse of north Indian society, and especially of the author's own Kayasth community. But this novel also serves to put forth his own deeply-held views of the ills of that society - the insatiable love of its women for personal adornment, its failure to create fulfilling marriage relationships, and its moral corruption. This is a felicitous translation by Christopher R. King and will enable many readers to appreciate Premchand's important novel, available for the first time in English
