    Ex: From the skimming he had given their writings he knew that something like a chemical agent was working in Balzac's defenseless mind, and that the hapless fellow was trying not to succumb to it.

    Ex: Much potentially valuable historical material is lost to posterity because of the attitude to the collection of primary sources which always gives pride of place to the ephemeral as long as it is compiled by a well-known figure.
    Ex: Even with such a limitation and many later supplementations by various hands, by way of addition, correction and amplification, it falls far short of completeness.
    Ex: Note that these provisions do not include research reports which have been prepared within a government agency but specifically authored by an individual = Nótese que estas disposiciones no afectan a informes de investigaciones procedentes de una agencia gubernamental aunque realizados concretamente por un individuo.
    Ex: No less prestigious an authority than a Royal Commission was appointed to inquire into the charges brought against the man principally responsible for that volume.

    Ex: Education should relate more effectively to personal development, to individual coping and to the development of the free self.

  • 7 deus ex máchina

       un dios bajdo por medio de una máquina
       ◘ Desenlace, más feliz que verosímil, de una situación complicada
       Expresión que designa, en una obra de teatro, la intervención de un ser sobrenatural que baja al escenario por medio de una máquina para que intervenga en la escena. En sentido figurado, la intervención feliz e inesperada de una persona que resuelve una situación trágica.
       Loc. lat. (pron. [déus-eks-mákina]) que significa literalmente 'dios [bajado al escenario] por medio de una máquina'. Hace referencia a un artificio del teatro griego que consistía en hacer descender sobre la escena, por medio de una tramoya, a un dios que resolvía felizmente la situación. En el ámbito de la teoría literaria, se emplea como locución nominal masculina para referirse a la persona o situación que, dentro de una obra, resuelve de modo inesperado y, por lo común, inverosímil una situación difícil o que ha llegado a un punto muerto. Se usa, por extensión, para designar la persona o cosa capaz de resolver con facilidad situaciones críticas: "Este déficit cero viene a ser el deus ex máchina que promueve la estabilidad en la economía y propicia su crecimiento" ( Cinco\@[Esp.] 3.6.05). Es invariable en plural: los deus ex máchina. [RAE: Diccionario panhispánico de dudas. Madrid: Santillana, 2005, p. 227]
