    Alvaro Bermejo del Barrio
    Quien no se conmueva, quien no se exalte con, por ejemplo, de Labourdonnais y su partida de los tres peones en séptima, con la partida de Morphy en la ópera, la Inmortal y la Siempreviva de Anderssen o con la Torre Ingrávida (no busquen, el bautizo es mío) de Steinitz en Hastings, no puede, en mi opinión, ser un verdadero ajedrecista.En la presente obra, Álvaro Bermejo del Barr...

  • Princesse de Clèves
    John Watson
    It might be that Madame de Lafayette’s novel of passion is one of the greatest in the genre. It is closer to the declamatory theatre of Racine than to anything else in the robust tradition of the English novels of Fielding or Smollett or Dickens. It has generated in John Watson a response in iambics, which seem in English the only way this expressive grandeur can be attempted. ...

  • Schubert Songs
    John Watson
    Many of Schubert’s six hundred songs were composed quickly, and often in the midst of of a gathering of friends loudly revelling or performing other music. Sometimes that remarkable facility would be exercised while walking in company through the woods round Vienna. John Watson has composed a sequence of scenes from this prodigious working life - sometimes in Schubert’s own voi...

The story is already well established in the early medieval period, where there are several competing manuscripts, most of them incomplete for various reasons. John Watson has revisited these medieval origins...

A curious incident from the life of the Surrealist Magritte; a sequence in four parts which won the Blake Prize for Poetry; an extended tribute to the poet Wislawa Szymborska, the cigarette-smoking Nobel Prizewinner, who left a remarkably small body of work; and, finally, a second amusing incident i...

  • The Tale of Gawain
    John Watson
    Gawain and the Green Knight is the celebrated poem from the time of Chaucer, written in the dialect then current in the north of England. Chaucer’s language outlasted this dialect. The poem draws on rich Arthurian and folk traditions involving the Green Man and knightly virtue. It has been frequently translated but John Watson has chosen to devise a version running parallel to ...
