‘One of Cuba’s most important living playwrights, Abel González Melo is known for a hybrid poetics in which he employs contemporary formal features, such as non-linear storytelling and flashbacks, interwoven with elements from the classical tradition in order to stage the ignoble realities of postmodern life.’ - Lillian Manzor, University of MiamiBorn in Havana in 1980, Abel González Melo is a rare example of a modern-day Cuban playwright whose work is performed and celebrated not only in Cuba, but also in the US, the Americas more widely, Europe, and beyond.Investigating a raft of national and global themes, such as queer sexuality, the dilemma of leaving or remaining, political power and censorship, family dynamics, the ambition and responsibility of the artist, and so-called ‘cancel culture’, González Melo’s work is international and universal in scope. The result of a twenty-year collaboration with translator William Gregory that began at the Royal Court Theatre in London, this collection of six plays follows the playwright’s eclectic two-decade career: from his beginning with texts exploring the pulsing underworld of early-2000s Havana in Chamaco and Nevada, through an examination of political turning points and major figures of Cuban history in Weathered and Outside the Game, to his most recent takes on theatre and its intersection with contemporary issues in Tell Me the Whole Thing Again and Abyss.Complete with an edited introduction by Ernesto Fundora, this volume of selected plays surveys not only González Melo’s oeuvre but also his distinctive stylistic and aesthetic variety, gained from living in both Spain and Cuba.

Do formulas exist for the solution to algebraical equations in one variable of any degree like the formulas for quadratic equations? The main aim of this book is to give new geometrical proof of Abel's theorem, as proposed by Professor V.I. Arnold. The theorem states that for general algebraical equations of a degree higher than 4, there are no formulas representing roots of these equations in terms of coefficients with only arithmetic operations and radicals. A secondary, and more important aim of this book, is to acquaint the reader with two very important branches of modern mathematics: group theory and theory of functions of a complex variable. This book also has the added bonus of an extensive appendix devoted to the differential Galois theory, written by Professor A.G. Khovanskii. As this text has been written assuming no specialist prior knowledge and is composed of definitions, examples, problems and solutions, it is suitable for self-study or teaching students of mathematics, from high school to graduate.
