Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1960s don’t seem that long ago to many of us. Given how crowded and closely connected the world of the present is, it’s hard to imagine there were places then that had been settled and cultivated for four hundred years but, as recently as the 1980’s, had no electricity, no plumbing, and very little traffic except for horses, donkeys, and (mostly bare) feet. The valley of the Rio Mira in Ecuador was such a place. Jesuit priests brought slaves - including Lola Laben’s ancestors - to farm sugarcane almost four hundred years ago. Slavery was abolished, but the work continued. Agrarian reform came, Lola’s parents became land owners, and the work continued. Lola was born in a mud house identical to the ones her slave ancestors had been born in for generations. She helped her parents farm a little farther downriver in the same manner that her ancestors had farmed. She explored her tropical paradise and wondered about faraway places and listened to the news of the outside world: the world beyond her valley and the city where the train came to and from three times a week. Fate determined that the outside world would find her, and she now resides in the most thoroughly modern and up-to-date nation on the planet. Guess what? Her childhood was full of wonder, beauty, adventure, and freedom even though survival was less certain. This book recounts the world that Lola was born into and how her heritage prepared her to meet the challenges of her future.
Download or read book Restoration of Tropical Forest Ecosystems written by Helmut Lieth and published by Springer. This book was released on 1914 with total page 522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The destruction of the tropical forests continues rapidly. We all know that this has global, ecological and economic consequences. The problem is of such magnitude that it can only be compared to warfare. The destruction of tropical forests is both detrimental to the global ecology as well as posing a serious threat to the people living in these areas. Furthermore, the overutilization of such a valuable resource poses a serious threat to the next generations. Besides the problem generated for the people in these regions, and for the earth in general, there is a moral obligation to preserve the vast biological diversity in the tropical forests. We have a commitment to all species on earth as well as man and, therefore, need to preserve as many as possible, if not all. This book discusses the problem from different angles: from forestry, ecology and nature conservation. The two main problem areas are: first the wise utilization of that portion of the forest which will be used - especially the introduction of planned forestry in such areas and second the development of a good plan for nature conservation in the tropics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Y todos eramos actores, un siglo de luz y sombra nos sumerge en una doble historia de amor, una de emotiva y humana dimension entre nuestro heroe y La Bella entre las bellas; y otra, sublime y tragica, entre un recio, varonil y enorme camion frances de 36 toneladas y un fragil y coqueto auto dorado, al mas puro y chabacano gusto narco, que sin rumbo deambulaban transportando actores y viejos decorados por los escarpados caminos de la cordillera de los Andes desde Buenos Aires, Argentina, hasta Santa Marta, Colombia.Una historia que como los amores se desarrolla entre la comedia italiana y la tragedia griega al recorrer un siglo herido mostrando la belleza de su piel y el hedor de sus heridas.Relata la epopeya de un hombre-testigo-actor-aventurero que sonriendo cruzo sin ser visto un siglo tormentoso en el que por haber visto lo que no debio ver, y saber que no lo vio todo, fue condenado a desaparecer de la historia escrita en blanco y negro, la lineal e insipida que exige tomar partido, aquella que busca reemplazar los barrotes de hierro de la celda por barrotes de deslucidos parlamentos destinados a encerrar el pensamiento y desterrar la voz discordante.Ajada historia de falsos decorados de carton piedra que quieren ocultar la realidad olvidando que en aquella epoca no habia espectadores, que todos eramos actores, olvidando que la razon de ser del actor es morir para renacer sobre otro escenario en la piel de otro personaje ocultandose asi de los inquisidores para, riendose, contrastar la belleza y el hedor de un siglo de luz y sombra. !Oh dioses, tened piedad de mi, dadme la fuerza necesaria para inmolarme y renacer en la palabra! y a vosotros, lectores, les pido que me acompanen por los espirales de vida y de muerte hasta desaparecer en el ultimo escalon de la obra cuando libres podran escoger el papel que les corresponda.La prosa traviesa, el verso herido, la imagen cinematografica, la replica insolente, el viaje, la autobiografia y la ficcion se entremezclan en Y todos eramos actores recuperando la riqueza perdida en la escritura, aquella que Enrique Vila-Matas imaginara para el futuro de la literatura y del libro, como lo dijera en la FIL de Guadalajara:"e;Pensaba que en este siglo se mezclarian la autobiografia, el diario de viajes y la ficcion. Pensaba que ibamos a una literatura mixta donde los limites se difuminarian, pensaba que la accion se difuminaria en favor del pensamiento"e;... "e;Luego las cosas se torcieron. La industria editorial esta erradicando de la literatura todo aquello que nos quiere hacer creer que es demasiado pesado o que va demasiado cargado de sentido. El panorama desde el punto de vista literario es desolador"e;.Desolador, a menos que se escoja la curva equivocada, la mas peligrosa y por ello la mas excitante y hermosa, rechazando los derroteros que la industria editorial corporativa nos quiere imponer a usted como lector y a mi como escritor, y escojamos libremente un mundo editorial en el que el yo, lector y el yo, escritor, en la diversidad, podamos amarnos.De Y todos eramos actores:Dos dias mas tarde levantamos la huelga de hambre, se habia encontrado una salida al laberinto, faltaba solamente despejar las vias para alcanzar esa salida, en Colombia nada es facil, un si es un no y en el mejor de los casos un quizas; un silencio es un grito y en ese espacio nos habian permitido desplazarnos, se regresaba a las costumbres milenarias, a las primeras civilizaciones: a los locos y los juglares se les respeta hermano, en ellos somos, en ellos permanece nuestra memoria.*Rompio las fronteras, el director no esta hablando de Colombia.*Y nosotros no estamos hablando de nuestros muertos; nuestras masacres son sus masacres, nuestros laberintos no tienen salida.El mar nuevamente me ofrecia una salida.*Entrada, entrada, no salida. Hay algunos que nunca aprenden.

Download or read book Modernity and Colombian Identity in the Music of Carlos Vives y La Provincia written by Manuel Sevilla and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2020-07-24 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the late 1980s and early 1990s, a great number of TV shows and music acts blossomed in Colombia, all of which resorted to regional identity as the narrative core for a renewed idea of national identity. Among them was “Clasicos de la provincial,” an album by Colombian singer Carlos Vives and his band La Provincia (1993), which marked the beginning of a successful career that has spanned nearly three decades. Vives´s work not only earned much deserved recognition in the musical industry from the beginning, but most importantly, has come to be renowned as a landmark in the cultural history of Colombia. This book is the first in-depth analysis focused on the creation and production process of Vives´s work, its main musical and literary features, and its influence on other musicians and in the construction of a narrative about national identity that is still relevant today. More than fifty interviews with Vives and members of the band, musicians, journalists, radio programmers, musical producers, and other key players of the process, together with an extensive review of hundreds of documents, are the sources for this book, which earned its authors a national award in Colombia (2015).

Download or read book Quechua de Huar s en Espa ol e Ingl s Glosario written by Menandra Mosquera and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-11-30 with total page 678 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This glossary has been prepared in order to leave a record of the Quechua spoken by the people of Huarás and surrounding areas in the mid-20th century. Huarás, capital of the Region (Department) of Ancash, Peru, has a distinct form of Quechua. That dialect was endangered due to a massive earthquake on May 31, 1970. Tens of thousands of people died, and the city was destroyed. Many of the survivors left the area. Once rebuilt, Huarás was repopulated with people new to the area who use Spanish or a different dialect to communicate. Since then, technological influences such as the Internet also reinforce the use of Spanish, to the detriment of the local Quechua. Born in Huarás, I was raised in a bilingual environment, Spanish and Quechua. Although I left the area to attend the university, I could always feel at home upon returning, until that earthquake. Since then it seems strange to return to an unfamiliar city, due to people, language and environment. I hope this glossary will help the newer generations better understand, not only their grandparents and ancestors, but the culture from which they come. Language and culture are intimately tied, and much more than words is lost when a language dies. The Inca Empire (Tahuantinsuyo) was invaded by Spain in 1532. At that time Quechua was spoken, never written, throughout the Inca civilization, with many dialects. Since then, the Spanish language has been imposed, but in Huarás never did it replace Quechua to the extent that it did in 1970. This glossary contains words, several verb forms, and phrases. It is written with the expectation that it may help to preserve the inherited Quechua, so that Huarás may remain bilingual. It is written for huarasinos, the people of Huarás. If others find it useful, better yet. The glossary is in Quechua. To facilitate access to the Quechua, indices in Spanish and in English are included. M. Mosquera

Download or read book The Poetry of Pablo Neruda written by Pablo Neruda and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2015-09-01 with total page 1045 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Poetry of Pablo Neruda offers the most comprehensive English-language collection ever by "the greatest poet of the twentieth century--in any language" (Gabriel García Márquez). "In his work a continent awakens to consciousness," wrote the Swedish Academy in awarding the Nobel Prize to Pablo Neruda, author of more than thirty-five books of poetry and one of Latin America's most revered writers and political figures-a loyal member of the Communist party, a lifelong diplomat and onetime senator, a man lionized during his lifetime as "the people's poet." Born Neftali Basoalto, Neruda adopted his pen name in fear of his family's disapproval, and yet by the age of twenty-five he was already famous for the book Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair, which remains his most beloved. During the next fifty years, a seemingly boundless metaphorical language linked his romantic fantasies and the fierce moral and political compass-exemplified in books such as Canto General-that made him an adamant champion of the dignity of ordinary men and women. Edited and with an introduction by Ilan Stavans, this is the most comprehensive single-volume collection of this prolific poet's work in English. Here the finest translations of nearly six hundred poems by Neruda are collected and join specially commissioned new translations that attest to Neruda's still-resounding presence in American letters.
