Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ¿Qué significa estar solo? ¿Cómo vivimos si no estamos íntimamente comprometidos con otro ser humano? ¿Cómo nos conectamos con otras personas? ¿La tecnología nos acerca más o nos aísla detrás de las pantallas? Cuando Olivia Laing se mudó a Nueva York, a los treinta y tantos años, se encontró habitando la soledad diariamente. Cada vez más fascinada por esta "vergonzosa" experiencia, comenzó a explorar la ciudad solitaria a través del arte. Moviéndose fluidamente entre las obras y las vidas de algunos de los artistas más atractivos de la ciudad (Edward Hopper, Andy Warhol, David Wojnarowicz), Laing ofrece una investigación eléctrica y deslumbrante sobre lo que significa estar solo, iluminando no solo las causas de la soledad, sino también cómo puede resistirse y redimirse. Humano, provocativo y conmovedor, este libro nos habla sobre los espacios entre las personas y las cosas que las unen, acerca de la sexualidad, la mortalidad y las posibilidades mágicas del arte. La ciudad solitaria es un deslumbrante trabajo de biografía, memorándum y crítica cultural y una celebración de un estado extraño y encantador, alejado del continente más grande de la experiencia humana, pero intrínseco al mismo acto de estar vivo.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A galvanizing look at life on the margins of society by a crowning figure of Latin America's queer counterculture who celebrated “melodrama, kitsch, extravagance, and vulgarity of all kinds” (Garth Greenwell) in playful, performative, linguistically inventive essays, now available in English for the first time A Penguin Classic “I speak from my difference,” wrote Pedro Lemebel, an openly queer writer and artist living through Chile’s AIDS epidemic and the collapse of the Pinochet dictatorship. In brilliantly innovative essays—known as crónicas—that combine memoir, reportage, fiction, history, and poetry, he brought visibility and dignity to sexual minorities, the poor, and the powerless. Touching on everything from Che Guevara to Elizabeth Taylor, from the aftermath of authoritarian rule to the daily lives of Chile’s locas—a slur for trans women and effeminate gay men that he boldly reclaims—his writing infuses political urgency with playfulness, realism with absurdism, and resistance with camp, and his AIDS crónicas immortalize a generation of Chileans doubly “disappeared” by casting each loca, as she falls sick, in the starring role of her own private tragedy. This volume brings together the best of his work, introducing readers of English to the subversive genius of a literary activist and queer icon whose acrobatic explorations of the Santiago demimonde reverberate around the world.

Download or read book A fuego lento written by Emilio Bobadilla and published by Linkgua. This book was released on 2019-03-01 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La obra maestra del escritor cubano Emilio Bobadilla como narrador es A fuego lento. La primera parte de la novela transcurre en Ganga, inspirada en la ciudad colombiana de Barranquilla, donde Bobadilla vivió algunos meses en 1898. El cuadro que traza A fuego lento es esperpéntico. Por entonces Barranquilla era un puerto principal de Colombia y era llamada "La Nueva York de Colombia", "La Nueva Barcelona" o "La Nueva Alejandría". Tenía varios cines, y las compañías de ópera italianas y de teatro españolas se presentaban allí. A ese lugar llega el doctor Eustaquio Baranda, un exiliado dominicano que ha estudiado medicina en París. El personaje atrae a las poderes locales, los mismos que después lo aborrecen despechados porque ha conquistado los favores de Alicia, deseada por uno de los prohombres lugareños. Baranda se va a París con Alicia. Y allí se consume su vida en el apetito social de Alicia —exaltado por sus ambiciones y la influencia provinciana de los antiguos conocidos de Ganga—. Muere a pesar de la presencia balsámica de una francesa fina, culta, delicada y distinguida a la que el doctor Baranda renuncia por no tener el valor de separarse de Alicia.

Download or read book Lines of Geography in Latin American Narrative written by Aarti Smith Madan and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-08-17 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book looks to the writings of prolific statesmen like D.F. Sarmiento, Estanislao Zeballos, and Euclides da Cunha to unearth the literary and political roots of the discipline of geography in nineteenth-century Latin America. Tracing the simultaneous rise of text-writing, map-making, and institution-building, it offers new insight into how nations consolidated their territories. Beginning with the titanic figures of Strabo and Humboldt, it rereads foundational works like Facundo and Os sertões as examples of a recognizably geographical discourse. The book digs into lesser-studied bulletins, correspondence, and essays to tell the story of how three statesmen became literary stars while spearheading Latin America’s first geographic institutes, which sought to delineate the newly independent states. Through a fresh pairing of literary analysis and institutional history, it reveals that words and maps—literature and geography—marched in lockstep to shape national territories, identities, and narratives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Misericordia sin velo har&á precisamente eso: desvelar la manera en que se habla de la misericordia de Dios en el Mes&í as desde la primera palabra hebrea de la Biblia, hasta llegar al &ú ltimo cap&í tulo de Malaqu&í as. Al té rmino del a&ñ o, habr&á s entrado al Antiguo Testamento por 365 nuevas puertas, habr&á s visto antiguos versos con nuevos ojos, y habr&á s trazado una red de conexiones por toda la Escritura que nunca antes hab&í as advertido. Comenzar&á s a ver a lo que se refer&í a una persona cuando describi&ó las palabras hebreas como « guiones entre el cielo y la tierra» .Leer la Biblia en una traducci&ó n puede ser como « besar a la novia por sobre el velo» . Cada uno de estos 365 devocionales est&á elaborado con el fin de levantar ese velo muy ligeramente, tocar piel con piel, por as&í decirlo, con el idioma original. No es necesario saber nada de hebreo para beneficiarse de estas meditaciones. No est&á n escritas para ense&ñ arte el idioma de Abraham, Moisé s e Isa&í as, sino para darte una muestra de sus ideas, exponerte a su elocuencia, re&í r con ellos en sus ingeniosos juegos de palabras, para desespa&ñ olizar sus modismos, y, lo que es m&á s importante, para seguir sus trayectorias hasta la predicaci&ó n del Mes&í as y los escritos de sus evangelistas y ap&ó stoles.
