Download or read book Alemania written by Julio Camba and published by Editorial Renacimiento. This book was released on 2012-11-07 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este libro, Alemania. impresiones de un español, fue publicado hace casi un siglo, en 1916, y no es más que un puñado de crónicas periodísticas sobre la Alemania de 1912, aunque también sea mucho más. La Alemania que retrató Camba ya no existe, en realidad ni siquiera existía ya cuando se publicó el libro en plena Primera Guerra Mundial, pero es la Alemania de Camba, el primer gran periodista del siglo xx. Sus brevísimos y acerados artículos conspiran unánimemente contra la solemnidad y el lugar común y son un prodigio de observación y naturalidad, además de encerrar siempre una inmensa carga humorística de raíz hondamente galaica. A Camba, a todo Camba, pero en especial al primero, el más bien humorado y el más escéptico, puede seguir, tras casi 100 años, leyéndosele como lo que es, un escritor plenamente actual, un escritor de nuestro tiempo. Julio Camba Andreu (Vilanova de Arousa, 1884-Madrid, 1962) fue durante la segunda y tercera década del siglo XX uno de los más singulares corresponsales extranjeros que haya tenido nunca la prensa española. Su maestría no ha dejado de ser elogiada por escritores tan distintos y variados como Miguel Delibes, Francisco Umbral, Cándido, Manuel Vicent o Antonio Muñoz Molina. A los dieciséis años se escapó de casa y llegó hasta Buenos Aires. Allí se introdujo en los círculos anarquistas y redactó incendiarias proclamas y panfletos. Al final fue deportado del país junto con otros anarquistas. De regreso a España empezó a colaborar en la prensa local gallega y en publicaciones revolucionarias del Madrid de comienzos de siglo, y su prosa no tardó en ocupar las columnas de los más importantes periódicos (El País, España Nueva, La Correspondencia de España, El Mundo, La Tribuna, ABC, El Sol, Ahora...). De sus quince libros publicados, siete son crónicas de viaje para diversos periódicos: Playas, ciudades y montañas (Galicia, París y Suiza), Londres, Alemania (los tres de 1916), Un año en el otro mundo (1917) (Nueva York), La rana viajera (1920) (España), Aventuras de una peseta (1923) (Alemania, Londres, Italia y Portugal) y La ciudad automática (1932) (Nueva York de nuevo). Esta edición se presenta con un prólogo de Francisco Fuster y en ella se recogen las crónicas publicadas originalmente entre mayo de 1912 y enero de 1913 en La Tribuna, y, a partir de esta fecha y hasta marzo de 1915 en ABC.

Book The Lion and the Eagle

Download or read book The Lion and the Eagle written by Conrad Kent and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 1999-12-01 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The German and Spanish-speaking worlds have, over the centuries, developed an intrinsic relationship, one which predates the Habsburg dynasty and the Renaissance and baroque periods. The cross-fertilization and challenges have been both fruitful and complex with novel inventions surfacing in one culture often achieving their greatest prosperity in the other: Martin Luther's Protestant Reformation stimulated a response in Spain that was to define the European Counter Reformation; Spanish Baroque writers were seminal in the development of German Romanticism; Carl Christian Friedrich Krause and other nineteenth-century liberals provided the foundation for Spanish reformist efforts on the one hand, while German conservatives like Novalis and Adam Müller inspired conservatvies on the other; the music of Richard Wagner transformed Spanish music and the Spanish stage at the turn of the twentieth century; Pablo Picasso and other artists of the Spanish avant-garde sparkled the enthusiasm of the Germans before the Nazi era. Today, German and Spanish intellectuals and writers share a similar commitment to the creation of a European culture in the face of resistance from other members of the European Union. Viewed from a variety of disciplines this volume explores the relentlessly consistent, albeit often forgotten connections between the two linguistic and cultural groups revealing the myriad of ways in which they have shared and transformed literature, art, culture, politics, and history.

Book Tierra de nadie

  • Publisher : Miño y Dávila
  • Release : 2018-03-05
  • ISBN : 8416467277
  • Pages : 355 pages

Download or read book Tierra de nadie written by Rolando Costa Picazo and published by Miño y Dávila. This book was released on 2018-03-05 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Costa Picazo recopila, traduce y anota las poesías de guerra de cinco poetas ingleses (Edmund Blunden, Robert Graves, Wilfred Owen, Isaac Rosenberg y Siegfried Sassoon) y un grupo de mujeres poetas (Marian Allen, Nora Bomford, Vera Brittain, Eleanor Farjeon, Charlotte Mew, May Sinclair y Elizabeth Underhill, entre otras). Tierra de nadie es un libro acerca de una de las guerras más terribles del siglo XX, en la que más de setenta y cinco millones de hombres fueron movilizados y más de la mitad resultaron muertos o desaparecidos. Es un libro sobre el horror de la guerra y, a pesar del espanto, sobre poesía. La Gran Guerra fue una contienda de trincheras, de dos frentes enemigos separados por un vacío que no era de nadie. Las profundas excavaciones, situadas en lados opuestos, prote-gidas por alambre de púa y ametralladoras, estaban separadas por una extensión de terreno infértil, que la lluvia y el defectuoso sistema de desagües convertían en lodazal. Las trincheras eran un claro ejemplo de deterioro y putrefacción. Allí se amontonaban los vivos y los muertos, estos últimos absorbidos por el fango y todos en medio de las ratas y el hedor. En ese contexto, cinco poetas ingleses (Edmund Blunden, Robert Graves, Wilfred Owen, Isaac Rosenberg y Siegfried Sassoon) y un grupo de mujeres poetas (Marian Allen, Nora Bomford, Vera Brittain, Eleanor Farjeon, Charlotte Mew, May Sinclair y Elizabeth Underhill, entre otras) demostraron que el espíritu humano sobrevive al horror y es capaz de afirmarse en medio del caos, y eternizarse.

Book Byron  The Poetry of Politics and the Politics of Poetry

Download or read book Byron The Poetry of Politics and the Politics of Poetry written by Roderick Beaton and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-07-01 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'It is no great matter, supposing that Italy could be liberated, who or what is sacrificed. It is a grand object - the very poetry of politics. Only think - a free Italy!!! Why, there has been nothing like it since the days of Augustus.' So wrote Lord Byron in his journal, in February 1821, only days before the outbreak of revolution in Greece, where three years later he would die in the service of the revolutionary cause. For a poet whose life and work are interlaced with action of multiple sorts, surprisingly little attention has been devoted to Byron's engagement with issues of politics. This volume brings together the work of eminent Byronists from seven European countries and the USA to re-assess the evidence. What did Byron mean by the 'poetry of politics'? Was he, in any sense, a 'political animal'? Can his final, fateful involvement in Greece be understood as the culmination of earlier, more deeply rooted quests? The first part of the book examines the implications of reading and writing as themselves political acts; the second interrogates the politics inherent or implied in Byron's poems and plays; the third follows the trajectory of his political engagement (or non-engagement), from his abortive early career in the British House of Lords, via the Peninsular War in Spain to his involvement in revolutionary politics abroad.

Book Mayaya Rising

    Book Details:
  • Author : Dawn Duke
  • Publisher : Rutgers University Press
  • Release : 2023-01-13
  • ISBN : 1684484405
  • Pages : 425 pages

Download or read book Mayaya Rising written by Dawn Duke and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2023-01-13 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who are the Black heroines of Latin America and the Caribbean? Where do we turn for models of transcendence among women of African ancestry in the region? In answer to the historical dearth of such exemplars, Mayaya Rising explores and celebrates the work of writers who intentionally center powerful female cultural archetypes. In this inventive analysis, Duke proposes three case studies and a corresponding womanist methodology through which to study and rediscover these figures. The musical Cuban-Dominican sisters and former slaves Teodora and Micaela Ginés inspired Aida Cartagena Portalatin’s epic poem Yania tierra; the Nicaraguan matriarch of the May Pole, “Miss Lizzie,” figures prominently in four anthologies from the country’s Bluefields region; and the iconic palenqueras of Cartagena, Colombia are magnified in the work of poets María Teresa Ramírez Neiva and Mirian Díaz Pérez. In elevating these figures and foregrounding these works, Duke restores and repairs the scholarly record.

Book Modern Nicaraguan Poetry

Download or read book Modern Nicaraguan Poetry written by Steven F. White and published by Bucknell University Press. This book was released on 1993 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work demonstrates that twentieth-century Nicaraguan poetry can not be comprehended in its fullest dimension without an understanding of the literary traditions of France and the United States. Ever since Ruben Dario established Hispanic America's literary independence from Spain in the nineteenth century with his modernista revolution, poets in Nicaragua actively have engaged in a dialogue with the works of French and North American authors as a means of assimilating and transforming them and thereby inventing a profoundly Nicaraguan literary identity. This process has resulted in what might be called a double genealogy in Nicaraguan poetry: certain poets attracted to the alchemical properties of the poetic word and a transcendent, mythic, meta-reality seem to have descended from French literary forebears; others, interested in an expansive, poeticized version of history and verisimilitude, have roots that might be traced to North American soil. This division is a provisional, experimental means of grouping Nicaraguan poets based not on the traditional compartmentalization of literary generations, but on the "family resemblances" of poetic affinities. Presented here is an effective analysis of the "familial" nature of the Nicaraguan poets achieving their own literary independence by taking into account socio-political and historical considerations, common literary themes, as well as the intertextual relations that form the basis of international literary dialogues. This rigorous, but flexible, approach to modern Nicaraguan poetry enables the reader to accompany the poets on their journeys toward God and the end of the world; into a timeless Nicaraguan landscape invaded by U.S. Marines; beyond a contemporary urban portrait of Los Angeles; through the horrifying European battlefields of World War I and the trenches of Nicaragua's revolution against the Somoza dictatorship. The English-speaking reader probably will be unfamiliar with most of the seven preeminent Nicarguan poets whose works are the subject of this book, but it is hoped that the reader will realize that the poetry of Nicaraguans Alfonso Cortes, Salomon de la Selva, Jose Coronel Urtecho, Pablo Antonio Cuadra, Joaquin Pasos, Carlos Martinez Rivas, and Ernesto Cardenal is worthy of serious study. Furthermore, the poems of these authors take on a richer meaning when they are studied as co-presences in relation to certain texts by Baudelaire, Rimbaud, Mallarme, and Supervielle, or - in an "American" context - by poets such as Whitman, Pound, Eliot, and Masters. A relatively small country with a rich, diverse tradition in poetry, Nicaragua has maintained high literary standards generation after generation and has produced poets of a world-class stature whose time has come for greater recognition.
