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.

Download or read book In Her Words written by Margaret Helen Persin and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2011 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During her lifetime, Gloria Fuertes achieved the status of a controversial cultural icon, both through her poetry for adults and through her poetry, recorded readings, and television programs for juveniles. This collection of lively essays, by authors who specialize in contemporary Spanish poetry, approaches the works of Gloria Fuertes from various theoretical and critical perspectives. In Her Words speaks to the inherent complexity of Gloria Fuertes' poetry, as manifested in its ultimate indeterminacy and indecision, yet attests to this poet's abiding value as the voice of the marginalized-women, the poor, children, all the invisible members of society-who were silenced during the years of Spanish dictatorship under Franco. This book manifests the prescience of Fuertes' stands on a variety of social and cultural issues, from women's changing roles in society, gender and sexuality, identity within a society held captive by a dictatorial regime, to more universal themes such as love, justice, ethics, nature, and obsolete societal norms. In Her Words decisively addresses and ultimately rejects the Spanish cultural elite's inclination to disavow Fuertes' influence and reveals how her voice has shaped succeeding generations of Spanish poets and underscored the ubiquity of her verse in contemporary Spanish literature and culture. The subtlety and diversity of the essays included in this volume attest to the power of Gloria Fuertes' poetic creativity, her ability to appeal to a wide audience both in Spain and abroad, and her place in the contemporary Spanish poetic canon.

Download or read book The Culture of Cursiler a written by Noël Valis and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2003-01-16 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Not easily translated, the Spanish terms cursi and cursilería refer to a cultural phenomenon widely prevalent in Spanish society since the nineteenth century. Like "kitsch," cursi evokes the idea of bad taste, but it also suggests one who has pretensions of refinement and elegance without possessing them. In The Culture of Cursilería, Noël Valis examines the social meanings of cursi, viewing it as a window into modern Spanish history and particularly into the development of middle-class culture. Valis finds evidence in literature, cultural objects, and popular customs to argue that cursilería has its roots in a sense of cultural inadequacy felt by the lower middle classes in nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century Spain. The Spain of this era, popularly viewed as the European power most resistant to economic and social modernization, is characterized by Valis as suffering from nostalgia for a bygone, romanticized society that structured itself on strict class delineations. With the development of an economic middle class during the latter half of the nineteenth century, these designations began to break down, and individuals across all levels of the middle class exaggerated their own social status in an attempt to protect their cultural capital. While the resulting manifestations of cursilería were often provincial, indeed backward, the concept was—and still is—closely associated with a sense of home. Ultimately, Valis shows how cursilería embodied the disparity between old ways and new, and how in its awkward manners, airs of pretension, and graceless anxieties it represents Spain's uneasy surrender to the forces of modernity. The Culture of Cursilería will interest students and scholars of Latin America, cultural studies, Spanish literature, and modernity.
Download or read book Las Obras en Verso Del Pr ncipe de Esquilache written by Javier Jiménez Belmonte and published by Tamesis Books. This book was released on 2007 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este volumen ofrece el primer estudio monogr©Łfico sobre uno de los poetas m©Łs citados y peor conocidos del barroco espa©łol: Francisco de Borja, pr©Ưncipe de Esquilache. Sus Obras en verso, publicadas por primera vez en 1648, constituyen uno de los proyectos laureados m©Łs elaborados y conscientes de la primera mitad del XVII. No s©đlo se trata de uno de los pocos cancioneros barrocos espa©łoles curados y editados por su propio autor, sino tambi©♭n del primer volumen de poes©Ưa dado a la imprenta por un miembro de la alta aristocracia castellana. En ©♭l, y desde la distancia de los a©łos y la poes©Ưa, el pr©Ưncipe de Esquilache recrea e instrumentaliza su estrecha relaci©đn con desos miembros de la rep©ðblica barroca de las letras [desde Lope de Vega a los Argensola o los condes de Lemos], individualiza su posici©đn con respecto a la pol©♭mica gongorina, a la vez que justifica sus a©łos de servicio pol©Ưtico a la corona o su derecho leg©Ưtimo al t©Ưtulo de Grande.Desde una perspectiva socioliteraria, este estudio propone la recuperaci©đn de las Obras de Esquilache como pieza clave para la comprensi©đn del papel del amateurismo aristocr©Łtico en la formaci©đn del campo literario barroco espa©łol. JAVIER JIM©́"-œNEZ BELMONTE es profesor adjunto en la Universidad de Fordham.

This book was released on 2012-09-11 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the turn of the twentieth century, the city of Prague hosted a cosmopolitan culture whose literary scene abounded in experimental writers. Two of the city’s natives are featured in this dual-language volume: Franz Kafka, whose fiction is synonymous with the anguish of modern life; and the poet Rainer Maria Rilke, whose stories unfold in the same transcendent lyricism as his verse. Twelve of Kafka’s stories from the compilation Ein Landarzt (A Country Doctor) appear here, along with two tales from Ein Hungerkünstler (A Hunger Artist). Rilke's stories include "Die Weise von Liebe und Tod des Cornets Christoph Rilke" (The Ballad of Love and Death of Cornet Christoph Rilke), "Die Turnstunde" (The Gym Class), and Geschichten vom lieben Gott (Stories About the Good Lord). Stanley Appelbaum has provided an introduction and informative notes to these stories, along with excellent new English translations on the pages facing the original German.

Download or read book Siddhartha Dual Language written by Hermann Hesse and published by Courier Corporation. This book was released on 2013-09-05 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nobel prize-winning author Hermann Hesse imagined life in India during the lifetime of the Buddha to create this memorable tale about a restless seeker of enlightenment. First published in 1922, Siddhartha employs powerful symbolism to impart its timeless teachings. The story concerns a young Brahman who quits his comfortable home to join a roving group of holy men in striving to empty their hearts of passion and desire through self-denial and meditation. Discouraged by his failure to find Nirvana after three years of the strictest asceticism, the young seeker turns to the fleshly world, where he becomes a wealthy merchant and partakes of sensual pleasures with a sophisticated courtesan. Years of materialistic self-indulgence numb Siddhartha's soul, but at his moment of greatest despondency, he begins to experience his long-sought spiritual awakening. True enlightenment, he realizes, cannot be received from the lessons of others; it must be attained through individual struggle. This handy dual-language edition — with its excellent line-for-line English translation on pages facing the original German text — offers students an outstanding opportunity to hone their German-language skills while discovering a literary classic.
