Book excerpt: Un caluroso día de octubre de 1614 moría el señor Alonso Quijano, conocido como don Quijote de la Mancha, asistido por su sobrina y el ama y rodeado de sus amigos, y el mismo día, por la tarde, se le enterraba en presencia de todo el pueblo. La novela de don Quijote había llegado a su término, pero no así la de muchos a los que la vida increíble del ingenioso hidalgo había sacado de su previsible anonimato. Y si don Quijote había tenido su novela, también la tuvieron, muerto él y por haber trenzado sus vidas con la suya, Sancho Panza, Dulcinea el ama, la sobrina, el bachiller Sansón Carrasco, Cardenia, Luscinda, el cautivo capitán Biedma, los duque Ginés de Pasamonte, Roque Guinart, Ricote y cuantos quedaron marcados para siempre por la inagotable humanidad de quien fue tenido en su tiempo por el mayor y más gracioso de los locos.De sus vidas, de sus novelas se habla en esta historia. Hace quinientos años empezó una historia que no ha terminado aún, porque las vidas, como las novelas, a un tiempo que propagan bajo tierra sus raíces, multiplican sus ramas hasta formar esta copiosa trama que llamamos vida, donde la realidad y la ficción a menudo no quieren decir lo que parece.

Una satira muy honda de los tiempos de Cervantes que no pierde su actualidad hasta el dia de hoy.

Book The Currency of Cultural Patrimony  The Spanish Golden Age

Download or read book The Currency of Cultural Patrimony The Spanish Golden Age written by Robert Bayliss and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2024-05-15 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Spanish Golden Age, a cultural narrative that has developed and over four centuries, remains a key element of how Spaniards articulate cultural identities, both within Spain and to the outside world. The Currency of Cultural Patrimony examines the development of this narrative by artists, intellectuals, historians, academics, and institutions. By defining the Spanish Golden Age as a diachronic problem, it examines several of Spain’s most canonical golden-age literary narratives (including Don Quixote, Fuenteovejuna, and Las mocedades del Cid) as texts whose institutionalization, mediation, and commercialization over the course of four hundred years inform their meaning both for contemporary Spaniards and for the field of Hispanic Studies around the world. Spain’s persistent deployment of this cultural patrimony as the canonical epicentre of a national literary tradition has stimulated diverse and often contradictory interpretations, the cumulative effect of which informs their reception by each new generation of Spaniards. This book’s analysis of how this patrimony is interpreted according to both tradition and current circumstances illuminates new angles from which scholars can approach some of Hispanism’s most persistent and vexing questions, including the growing divide between popular and academic understandings of the Spanish nation’s “classics.”

Book Cervantes y la cr  tica

Download or read book Cervantes y la cr tica written by Amenodoro Urdaneta and published by Linkgua. This book was released on 2019-04-01 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Así nos presenta Amenodoro Urdaneta Cervantes y la crítica: Después de muchos años consagrados al estudio del Quijote y al examen de la crítica en él ensayada, he adquirido la convicción de poder disipar las sombras extrañas que velan todavía la faz de esa inmortal novela, y que la dañan, a semejanza de los mal confeccionados afeites que el artificio estampa en el rostro de la beldad. Ese libro admirable que, poniendo de relieve y caricaturando graciosamente la parte flaca y ridícula de la sociedad, es como el espejo constante de la naturaleza, el cual a nadie exime de pararse a contemplar y de reír al ver reflejado en su tersura algún rasgo de la fisonomía social, y aun de la suya propia; ese libro que, a su originalísima concepción y gran cordura, une el atractivo de las bellas formas y una alta influencia moral y literaria; ese libro, por último, orgullo de las letras y familiar de las naciones, ha tenido también su desventura (¡que ella es inherente a la condición de las cosas humanas!); y esta desventura consiste en ver a errados o ilusos escritores contestarle o desfigurar muchas partes de su incontestable mérito, como se verá en la obra que intento publicar, mediante la protección y benevolencia de la culta sociedad venezolana.

Book Myth and Subversion in the Contemporary Novel

Download or read book Myth and Subversion in the Contemporary Novel written by José Manuel Losada Goya and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2012-03-15 with total page 545 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This bilingual work identifies and explains the subversive rewriting of ancient, medieval and modern myths in contemporary novels. The book opens with two theoretical essays on the subject of subversive tendencies and myth reinvention in the contemporary novel. From there, it moves on to the analysis of essential texts. Firstly, classical myths in works by authors such as André Gide, Thomas Pynchon, Julio Cortázar, Italo Calvino or Christa Wolf (for instance, Theseus, Oedipus or Medea) are discussed. Then, myths of biblical origin – such as the Flood or the Golem – are revisited in the work of Giorgio Bassani, Julian Barnes and Cynthia Ozick. A further section is concerned with the place of modern myths (Faust, the ghost, Ophelia…) in the fiction of Günter Grass, Paul Auster, or Clara Janés. The contributors have also delved into the relationship between myth and art – especially in the discourse of contemporary advertising, painting and cinema – and myth’s intercultural dimensions: hybridity in the Latin American novels of Augusto Roa Bastos and Carlos Fuentes, and in the Hindu-themed novels of Bharati Mukherjee. This volume emerges from the careful selection of 37 essays out of over 200 which were put forward by outstanding scholars from 25 different countries for the Madrid International Conference on Myth and Subversion (March 2011). Este volumen bilingüe identifica y explica la práctica subversiva aplicada a los mitos antiguos, medievales y modernos en la novela contemporánea. Abren el libro dos estudios teóricos sobre la tendencia subversiva y la reinvención de mitos en la actualidad. Prosigue el análisis de diversos textos de primera importancia. En primer lugar se revisan los mitos clásicos en autores como André Gide, Thomas Pynchon, Julio Cortázar, Italo Calvino o Christa Wolf (p. ej., Teseo, Edipo, Medea). En segundo lugar, la reescritura de los mitos bíblicos según Giorgio Bassani, Julian Barnes o Cynthia Ozick (p. ej., el diluvio o el Golem). En tercer lugar, mitos modernos en la ficción de Günter Grass, Paul Auster o Clara Janés (p. ej., Fausto, el fantasma, Ofelia). El volumen presta igualmente atención a las relaciones entre mito y arte (su recurrencia en la publicidad, la pintura y el cine contemporáneos) y a la vertiente intercultural de los mitos: el mestizaje en la novela latinoamericana de Augusto Roa Bastos y Carlos Fuentes, o en la de temática hindú de Bharati Mukherjee. La compilación resulta de una exquisita selección de 37 textos entre los más de 200 propuestos para el Congreso Internacional Mito y Subversión (Madrid, marzo de 2011) por investigadores de prestigio procedentes de 25 países.
