Download or read book The Corn Woman written by Angel Vigil and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 1994-09-15 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The culture, history, and spirit of the Hispanic Southwest are brought to readers through this fascinating collection of 45 cuentos (stories and legends) from the region. From ancient creation myths of the Aztecs and traditional tales of Spanish colonialists to an eclectic sampling of the work of modern Latino storytellers, this book provides a rich tapestry of both obscure and well-loved stories-religious stories; animal tales; stories of magic, transformation, and wisdom; and chistes (short comic tales). Fifteen tales are also presented in Spanish. The origin and historical development of the stories are examined in an introductory chapter. A discussion of dichos (proverbs) and adivinanzas (riddles) illuminates the larger context of the oral tradition in which the tales have flourished. Lavishly illustrated with pictures of original paintings and sculpture by contemporary Latino artists, this fascinating collection will appeal to children and adults alike and is a must for the multicultural class

Download or read book La Ciudad De M xico written by Juan E. Huegel and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 1989 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El autor escribe: “Así cómo uno recoge las legumbres en una hortaliza para cocinarlas y servirlas, se pueden recoger los recuerdos en el huerto de la memoria, cocinarlos y servirlos al través de la escritura, con el deseo de satisfacer el paladar del espíritu tanto del que escribe como de los que leen.” Huegel invita a sus lectores lo acompañen a la mesa de sus recuerdos, para gozar el sabor de sus vivencias durante su adolescencia en la Ciudad de México en aquellos lejanos años de 1935 a 1947. Relata con claridad sus experiencias desde una visita al Palacio Nacional a la edad de seis años para ver el desfile del 16 de Septiembre, hasta su participación a la edad de quince en la Conferencia Interamericana sobre los Problemas de la Paz y la Guerra celebrada en la Ciudad de México en febrero de 1945.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La prorrogación a la obediencia ha hecho que el mundo viva sumergido en una ola vertiginosa de engaños. Por desobediencia, sobre la tierra, se han levantado guerras, tumultos y destrucción; cuyo suelo grita de dolor y tiembla de espanto porque la vanidad la está destruyendo. Por consecuencia humana, la tierra está inficionada de maldad; el océano se ha salido de sus márgenes arropando la tierra, cuyas olas entran por toda la zona terrestre; pidiendo cuenta, la naturaleza azota la tierra con furor, extrayendo la profanación que está incrustada en su suelo. No obstante, desde el cielo, un ángel se encuentra observando a través de la ventana que da al mundo, la cual por impetuosidad, descorre la cortina del cielo, presenciando al mundo ahogarse en una ola de desastre; como acto de benevolencia, decide liberar a la humanidad del sufrimiento. Al recibir el ángel el permiso de descender a la tierra y cumplir su misión de amor, es preparada por Moisés (su guía y mentor), a través de sus enseñanzas, aprende como viven los terrestres, sus vicios, amores y secretos... y cuando baja arregla la vida de éstas personas, dejándoles, a su retorno al Cielo, el camino que necesitan seguir para encontrar la felicidad.

Download or read book Rewriting Womanhood written by Nancy LaGreca and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2015-08-26 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Rewriting Womanhood, Nancy LaGreca explores the subversive refigurings of womanhood in three novels by women writers: La hija del bandido (1887) by Refugio Barragán de Toscano (Mexico; 1846–1916), Blanca Sol (1888) by Mercedes Cabello de Carbonera (Peru; 1845–1909), and Luz y sombra (1903) by Ana Roqué (Puerto Rico; 1853–1933). While these women were both acclaimed and critiqued in their day, they have been largely overlooked by contemporary mainstream criticism. Detailed enough for experts yet accessible to undergraduates, graduate students, and the general reader, Rewriting Womanhood provides ample historical context for understanding the key women’s issues of nineteenth-century Mexico, Peru, and Puerto Rico; clear definitions of the psychoanalytic theories used to unearth the rewriting of the female self; and in-depth literary analyses of the feminine agency that Barragán, Cabello, and Roqué highlight in their fiction. Rewriting Womanhood reaffirms the value of three women novelists who wished to broaden the ruling-class definition of woman as mother and wife to include woman as individual for a modern era. As such, it is an important contribution to women’s studies, nineteenth-century Hispanic studies, and sexuality and gender studies.

Book excerpt: Tal vez algunos lectores se preguntarán porque se me ocurrió producir un libro de los ángeles, para contestar su curiosidad le diré que en una noche de viernes cuando caminé, en el campo, desde la casa de mi abuela hasta la Iglesia donde me tocaba predicar, como estaba lluvioso no asistió ni un solo miembro. (Iglesia Vertientes, Baracoa Cuba). Yo decidí quedarme en la Iglesia en vigilia y oración y en la madrugada tuve una visión de cuatro ángeles sobre la Iglesia. Su piel era muy rosada y sus vestidos eran como de seda que la brisa lo movía suavemente. Después de esa experiencia los hermanos por si solo se hicieron la decisión de no faltar a los cultos, parece que lo siguen cumpliendo, porque después de 28 años de ausencia yo le volví a visitar y el mismo día, sin anuncio, ni aviso la Iglesia estaba llena, gracias a DIOS, todo sea para su honra y su gloria y era domingo en la tarde. Lo segundo y último porque produje este material es que he examinado en varios países algunas producciones sobre los ángeles y la mayoría no se ajustan a la Palabra de Dios. Puedo garantizar que este es el documento más extenso que se ha producido sobre este tema, pues es el producto de 52 años Bíblicos y especialmente un año sacando todo lo que la Biblia dice de los ángeles y sus relacionados. Yo le digo a los hermanos que los ángeles quisieran estar en el cielo, pero como tienen que estar con nosotros, por lo menos se sienten mejor cuando nos acompañan a los servicios religiosos, donde se canta, se ora, se estudia la Palabra, se adora, se alaba y se honra al Dios verdadero, nuestro Creador. Amen

This book was released on 2012 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exemplary Ambivalence fills a critical gap within studies of 19th-century Spanish America as it explores the inconsistencies of exemplary texts and emphasizes the forms, sources, and implications of creole ideological and narrative multiplicity. This interdisciplinary study examines creole writing subjectivities and ethnic fictions within the construction of national, aesthetic, and gendered cultural identities, highlighting the dynamic relationship between exemplary discourse and readers as active interpretive agents.

Download or read book The Circulation of Penicillin in Spain written by María Jesús Santesmases and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-12-18 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reconstructs the early circulation of penicillin in Spain, a country exhausted by civil war (1936–1939), and oppressed by Franco’s dictatorship. Embedded in the post-war recovery, penicillin’s voyages through time and across geographies – professional, political and social – were both material and symbolic. This powerful antimicrobial captivated the imagination of the general public, medical practice, science and industry, creating high expectations among patients, who at times experienced little or no effect. Penicillin’s lack of efficacy against some microbes fueled the search for new wonder drugs and sustained a decades-long research agenda built on the post-war concept of development through scientific and technological achievements. This historical reconstruction of the social life of penicillin between the 1940s and 1980s – through the dictatorship to democratic transition – explores political, public, medical, experimental and gender issues, and the rise of antibiotic resistance.

Download or read book Selected Poems of Gabriela Mistral written by Gabriela Mistral and published by UNM Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first Nobel Prize in literature to be awarded to a Latin American writer went to the Chilean poet Gabriela Mistral. Famous and beloved during her lifetime all over Latin America and in Europe, Mistral has never been known in North America as she deserves to be. The reputation of her more flamboyant and accessible friend and countryman Pablo Neruda has overshadowed hers, and she has been officially sentimentalized into a "poetess" of children and motherhood. Translations, and even selections of her work in Spanish, have tended to underplay the darkness, the strangeness, and the raging intensity of her poems of grief and pain, the yearning power of her evocations of the Chilean landscape, the stark music of her Round Dances, the visionary splendor of her Hymns of America. During her lifetime Mistral published four books: Desolation, Tenderness, Clearcut, and Winepress. These are included in the "Complete" Nobel edition published in Madrid; the Poem of Chile, her last book, was printed years after her death. Le Guin includes poems from all five books in this volume, with particular emphasis on the later work. The intelligence and passion of Le Guin's selection and translation will finally allow people in the North to hear the originality, power, purity, and intransigence of this great American voice. Le Guin has published five volumes of her own poetry, an English version of Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching, and a volume of mutual translation with the Argentine poet Diana Bellessi, The Twins, the Dream/Las Gemalas, El Sueño. Strongly drawn to Mistral's work as soon as she discovered it, Le Guin has been working on this translation for five years.

Download or read book Ruben Dario Centennial Studies written by Miguel Gonzalez-Gerth and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2014-07-03 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rubén Darío (1867–1916), the undisputed standard-bearer of the Modernist movement in Hispanic letters, was born in Nicaragua. In 1886 he went to Chile, where he published Azul (1888), his first important book of poems and stories. Later he lived for extended periods in Argentina, Spain, and France, and in these countries produced his best work: compelling poems of beauty, style, and dignity, especially Cantos de vida y esperanza (1905). The perfection of form, exotic essences, and rich ornamentation of his earlier work give way in his most mature poems to self-probings and doubts, the anguish so characteristic of twentieth-century literature. But the hedonistic note, the quenchless appetite for life, dominating Azul and Prosas profanas (1896) never die out, and are magnificently present in El poema del otoño (1910). Darío has had a tremendous impact on Hispanic literature. He is one of the best examples of the poet who is true to his art as determined by his innermost impulses. His poetry has fertilized a whole generation of writers in Spanish America and in Spain, and even now his influence continues to be felt.
