Model Flight

Model Flight

Martin Simons

Special Interest Model Books
1998
nidottu
This book explains in simple terms the fundamental principles of flight and the basic aerodynamic factors affecting radio controlled flying models. Neither mathematics or higher physics is required in order to understand how and why model aircraft behave and sometimes misbehave in the way that they do. A little theory can be turned to practical advantage, enhancing model performance and the enjoyment experienced by the model flier. Although the book was written primarily for fliers of conventional radio-controlled models, the principles apply to other aspects of model flying such as free flight, control-line, helicopters and gliders.

El Héroe del Oeste En Las Crónicas de Narnia

El Héroe del Oeste En Las Crónicas de Narnia

Martin Simonson; Raul Montero Gilete

Peter Lang AG
2014
nidottu
Este estudio sobre el mito del heroe en Las Cronicas de Narnia se fundamenta tanto en la critica literaria y la bibliografia general y especifica sobre el autor y su obra, como en las teorias de la literatura infantil y del heroe en las tradiciones literarias occidentales, incluido el Oeste norteamericano. Aun compartiendo rasgos con el mito ironico modernista, la lectura de la obra de Lewis demuestra que los heroes en las Cronicas sintetizan y actualizan estas tradiciones, a la vez que desafian las categorizaciones simples debido al particular tratamiento del heroe como nino y la vocacion universal de su trayectoria, cuya raiz reside en el trasfondo cristiano - a la vez occidental y universal - de los planteamientos literarios de Lewis.

El Western fantástico de Stephen King

?Que importancia tenia la imagen mitificada del Oeste americano en la imaginacion de King durante la elaboracion de El Pistolero? Mucha, a juzgar por el resultado. Al mismo tiempo, parece que la fertil imaginacion de King se conjura con las referencias culturales contemporaneas. El propio autor confiesa su anhelo por crear una novela que contega el espiritu de busqueda, aventura y magia de El Senor de los Anillos (1954), pero situada en el espacio del lejano Oeste americano al estilo de la pelicula de spaghetti western El bueno, el feo y el malo (1966) de Leone. Con El Pistolero, King da otra vuelta de tuerca al mito del Oeste, y con el presente estudio pretendemos tender puentes entre diferentes tradiciones literarias para entender la particular indosincrasia de la obra de King, capaz de albergar las tradiciones narrativas de la Antigu edad Clasica, la epoca medieval y la moderna, con sus tintes goticos, romanticos y fantasticos, a la vez que desarrollar y modernizar el mito del Oeste americano e introducir al lector contemporaneo en un nuevo universo literario.

El Oeste recuperado

El Oeste recuperado

Martin Simonson

Peter Lang AG, Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaften
2018
nidottu
Tolkien no habria estado de acuerdo con el empleo del termino "Occidente" para hablar del espacio legendario y cultural que tenia en mente cuando reconstruyo y re-mitifico el pasado literario en su obra cumbre. El termino proviene de la Antiguedad Clasica y no abarca en su origen los territorios del vasto Norte, cuyas tradiciones literarias Tolkien tambien incorporo en su vision mitificada del Oeste. El Oeste de Tolkien sintetiza leyendas y expresiones literarias del oeste, norte y sur de Europa, y por ello los personajes de El Senor de los Anillos a menudo hunden sus raices en una multitud de generos literarios.El presente estudio recorre la evolucion de los personajes principales de la obra de Tolkien y explica, entre otras cosas, como el dialogo entre diferentes generos literarios puede dar cuenta de las aparentes incoherencias en el personaje de Aragorn, los diferentes papeles genericos que desempena Gandalf a lo largo de la historia, o como unos prosaicos hobbits, surgidos de la Inglaterra rural del siglo XIX, son capaces de relacionarse con los antiguos mundos epicos de Rohan y Gondor.

From East to West

From East to West

Martin Simonson; Jon Alkorta Martiartu

Peter Lang AG, Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaften
2021
nidottu
The portrayal of nature in the genre of fantasy fiction, from the Middle Ages to more modern times, has been conditioned by the diverging social, political and historical contexts. This book seeks to disclose how the natural world has been depicted within this genre during different periods, drawing a comparison between the British tradition of fantasy literature and Ursula K. Le Guin’s Earthsea cycle. Le Guin adheres to the general traits of the genre up to a point, but as a woman of the 20th century living in the American West, her works also deviate from the received tradition in many significant ways.

History of Númenor and Middle-earth of the Second Age

History of Númenor and Middle-earth of the Second Age

Martin Simonson; Bernard Torelló

LEGENDARIA
2024
sidottu
Up until now, to get a general idea of the Second Age, readers of Tolkien have had to rely on various, mostly unfinished, accounts. In this History of N menor and Middle-earth of the Second Age, two Tolkien experts -researcher and translator Martin Simonson and novelist and YouTuber Bernard Torell (also known as Kai47)- join forces to explain the entire Age in a single work. Through an evocative and detailed chronicle spanning more than three thousand years, from the founding of N menor and the Grey Havens to the defeat of Sauron in the War of the Last Alliance, this History collects and comments on everything Tolkien had to say about N menor and Middle-earth in this fascinating era.The book contains more than sixty illustrations (the vast majority in color) with Second Age motifs by internationally renowned artists, including Anke Eissmann and Christopher R dlund. In addition, there are six detailed color maps; a large number of informative tables on the most varied curiosities of the Age; complete chronologies and an original dictionary containing all the terms relating to the N men rean culture.

Il Signore degli Anelli e la tradizione narrativa occidentale

Il Signore degli Anelli e la tradizione narrativa occidentale

Martin Simonson

Phronesis

pokkari
Quando Il Signore degli Anelli fu pubblicato negli anni '50, non si collocava comodamente tra le nozioni preconcette di genere letterario. Le risposte critiche riflettevano la confusione: per alcuni si trattava di una sgradita ricomparsa di standard narrativi che il modernismo avrebbe dovuto eliminare, o semplicemente di un brutto romanzo. Altri lo consideravano un'opera rinfrescante nelle tradizioni epiche e romantiche.Ironicamente, gran parte del pregiudizio critico riguardante la questione del genere ne Il Signore degli Anelli stato motivato dallo stesso tipo di cecit che Tolkien denunci nella sua famosa conferenza del 1936 Beowulf: I mostri e i critici: i mostri e i critici. Come Beowulf, anche l'opera di Tolkien non stata adeguatamente apprezzata e valutata a causa di un generale rifiuto di accettare la centralit dei mostri, perch nonostante la sua 'mostruosa' originalit e l'ambientazione fantastica, molto chiaramente, e non solo cronologicamente, al centro della letteratura del Novecento.Il presente volume un tentativo di rendere conto della particolare interazione di genere che governa il racconto di Tolkien e di metterlo in una relazione significativa con il contesto letterario contemporaneo. Allo stesso tempo, una ricerca per rintracciare uno dei mostri letterari pi famosi e sfuggenti del secolo scorso, riempiendo uno spazio bianco a lungo trascurato sulla mappa della letteratura comparata e della critica di genere.La presente edizione italiana si impreziosisce di alcuni piccoli aggiornamenti e precisazioni che il curatore ha concordato con l'editore originario, Walking Tree Publishers, e con l'autore stesso.
