Extracto: ...de sus alas; daba vueltas, barría el polvo con la cola, se acercaba al agua, bebía, de un salto llegaba al seto, se escondía un momento entre las ramas bajas de la zarza-mora, por pura curiosidad, volvía á aparecer, siempre alegre, pizpireta; quedó inmóvil un instante, como si deliberase; y de repente, como asustada, por aprensión, sin el menor motivo, tendió el vuelo recto y rápido al principio, ondulante y pausado después y se perdió en la atmósfera que el sol oblicuo teñía de púrpura. Ana siguió el vuelo de la lavandera con la mirada mientras pudo. «Estos animalitos, pensó, sienten, quieren y hasta hacen sus reflexiones... Ese pajarillo ha tenido una idea de repente; se ha cansado de esta sombra y se ha ido á buscar luz, calor, espacio. ¡Feliz él! Cansarse ¡es tan natural!» Ella misma, la Regenta, estaba bien cansada de aquella sombra en que había-vivido siempre. ¿ Seria algo nuevo, algo digno de ser amado aquello que el Magistral le había prometido? Cuando ella le había dicho que en la adolescencia había tenido antojos místicos, y que después sus tías y todas las amigas de Vetusta le habían hecho despreciar aquella vanidad piadosa ¿ qué había contestado el Magistral? Bien se acordaba; le zumbaba todavía en los oídos aquella voz dulce que salía en pedazos, como por tamiz, por los cuadradillos de la celosía del confesonario. Le había dicho, con unas palabras muy elocuentes, que ella no podía repetir al pié de la letra, algo parecido á esto: «Hija mía, ni aquellos anhelos...

Some of Shakespeare's plays give us the impression of wisdom or universal insight because they insistently remind us of anxieties rooted in philosophical doubt. Armed with a fresh analysis of Shakespeare's inherited resources for articulating such anxieties, Skulsky shows that in four plays - Hamlet, Measure for Measure, King Lear and Othello - the drama of doubt in search of an exit gives its own kind of urgency to the more familiar Shakespearean drama of action and motive. The result is a book that challenges a good measure of 20th century Shakespearean scholarship. The four plays emerge from this study as insidiously telling exercises in the undermining of our working faith in the rationality of moral choice and the possibility of knowing other minds. The author points out that Shakespeare takes calculated risks with our personal interest in his heroes by assigning to them not only contemptible actions but disturbing convictions. In some of the plays, such convictions end by looking just as plausible as they do at the outset. In others, Shakespeare seems to attempt a special kind of tragic affirmation and compassion - an affirmation that is designed to encompass unrelieved pessimism, and a compassion that finds a place even for the worst of the damned.

Katharine Du Pre Lumpkin was born into a prominent Georgia family and raised in a southern society intent on preserving the economic and racial status quo. But as a young woman working with the poor in the sand hills of South Carolina, she began to question what she had been taught. In The Making of a Southerner, Lumpkin re-creates the South of her childhood and records the journey she took from her early instruction as a daughter of the "Lost Cause" to the liberal viewpoints she championed as an adult.

Animals and Why They Matter examines the barriers that our philosophical traditions have erected between human beings and animals and reveals that the too-often ridiculed subject of animal rights is an issue crucially related to such problems within the human community as racism, sexism, and age discrimination. Mary Midgley's profound and clearly written narrative is a thought-provoking study of the way in which the opposition between reason and emotion has shaped our moral and political ideas and the problems it has raised. Whether considering vegetarianism, women's rights, or the "humanity" of pets, this book goes to the heart of the question of why all animals matter.
