Download or read book El viajero de cercan as written by William Henry Hudson and published by Erasmus Ediciones. This book was released on 2012-05-23 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Una selección de entrañables anécdotas ecológicas por el autor de la obra maestra de renombre mundial "La Tierra Púrpura". Un clásico internacional y uno de los escritores predilectos del muy selectivo J. L. Borges. Joseph Conrad detectó su gran calidad literaria alabando su naturalísimo estilo que “brotaba como la hierba”. Hudson pergeñó varias obras maestras de la novelística mundial como "La tierra púrpura" por las que es recordado primordialmente; pero, asimismo, escribió otras obras magníficas y de gran talla literaria como es la presente, en donde, sin el artificio novelístico ni la exigencia narrativa biográfica, manifiesta su categoría de gran escritor capaz de extraer interés y poesía de hechos en apariencia insignificantes: recuerdos nostálgicos de su juventud en la Pampa, conversaciones con simpáticas niñas –en curiosa vena Lewiscarroliana–, experiencias relativas a pájaros –su gran pasión–, y anécdotas ocurridas en remotas aldeas o parajes salvajes ingleses.

Book excerpt: Dos jóvenes periodistas en paro, hartos de la situación laboral en España, cogieron la calculadora y echaron cuentas: 6.000 € en alquiler, 1.340 € en gasolina, la luz, el agua, el transporte… y ningún ingreso. Costaba más caro quedarse de brazos cruzados en casa que recorrer el mundo. Y decidieron, durante nueve meses y a lo largo y ancho de 28 países, hacer realidad su sueño: dar la vuelta al planeta y mandar todo… ¡A tomar por mundo!. Dijeron adiós a la rutina. Se colgaron la mochila a sus espaldas. Y salieron en busca de oportunidades a descubrir nuevos países, a zambullirse en su cultura y terminar la aventura casándose en una idílica playa de Bali. Todo ello con un presupuesto de sólo 20 € al día por persona. En este libro cuentan todas sus historias, trucos y secretos para hacer que un gran viaje sea más barato que vivir en España. ¿Viajamos?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Esta historia, está llena de duros y desgraciados acontecimientos, pero también, es una historia llena de dulzura, felicidad y sosiego, de acuerdo con los tiempos, que en cada momento acontecían; creo que es una historia donde el lector puede sentirse reconfortado, feliz y hasta identificado en muchos de los puntos de vista. Son muchas las cosas que han ocurrido, en este y otros países, que la gente se ha olvidado; si todos y cada uno de nosotros, echáramos de vez en cuando la vista atrás para recordar, quienes fueron nuestros ancestros. De donde procedemos y de quien. Como fuimos. Como somos y en qué nos hemos convertido; podéis tener la seguridad, de que todos y cada uno de nosotros, seríamos mucho más ricos en valores humanos; valores estos de los cuales cada día carecemos más. La historia de los pueblos y la propia de cada uno de nosotros, es el legado más valioso, que el ser humano puede tener.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This resource compiles and locates biographical and bibliographical information of over 700 prominent Latin American dramatists of the late 20th century and their plays in 20 different countries, and it lists over 7,000 plays arranged by country and by author. Author biographies consist of year and place of birth, education, careers, other literary genres, and awards and prizes. The bibliographic listings include various editions of plays, followed by references to the plays in anthologies, collections, or periodicals. Latin American theater is rooted in the rich historical traditions of both the indigenous cultures of the region and those of Spain. In the second half of the 20th century, immigration to Latin America from Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia also proved influential, and theater became a means of social protest. The military and political dictatorships of the late 20th century often censored plays and persecuted playwrights.

Download or read book Cuentos de viaje written by Luis Alberto Ambroggio and published by Palibrio. This book was released on 2013-09 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "..Los cuentos...me han gustado mucho. (Algunos) son pequeñas historias sobre algunas ridículas tragedias de la posmodernidad, cuyo humor -y ahí está, creo, su mayor mérito- deriva de una mirada que se desliza de la ironía a la compasión, pues el narrador mezcla su propia voz con la del personaje, evitando así situarse en un plano de superioridad. Lo ridículo se convierte en una atmósfera que todos estamos obligados a respirar: nadie queda exento". Graciela Tomassini, autora de Reconfiguraciones. Estudios críticos sobre narrativa breve hispanoamericana de fin de siglo (Rosario: Fundación Ross, 1996). Muchas de estas diminutas historias atraen tanto por no ser muy comunes como por serlo. En el viaje de la vida uno se encuentra con situaciones reales que superan la magia y excitan la imaginación más allá de lo que pareciera posible, hasta que lo sucedido, lo dicho, lo experimentado prueban lo contrario. Allí reside su ironía, su humor, su belleza y desconcierto. Cuentos de viaje para siete cuerdas y otras metafísicas documenta ficticiamente estas ocurrencias y sus impensables implicaciones. El malabarismo de lo inesperado se convierte en un microrrelato que perdura en un pentagrama de posibles reflexiones, conclusiones y las estelas de otras expansiones imaginativas. "Estos cuentos proponen conocer y reflexionar sobre toda clase de viajes entre ciudades, países y continentes. Pero proponen, sobre todo, viajar entre los más diversos momentos de la experiencia cotidiana. ... Es desde ese lugar privilegiado donde sugiero al lector que se asome a leer un par de textos representativos de este volumen: las "Instrucciones para salir del internet" y las "Instrucciones para meter la pata". En ambos, el logrado homenaje al Manual de Instrucciones de Julio Cortázar demuestra que la voz más genuina del autor, la que está detrás de todas las otras, es la de un cronopio. Favor de asegurar el cinturón de seguridad y disponerse a disfrutar de estos Cuentos de viaje". Lauro Zavala Ahora y con otro género "Ambroggio nos invita a viajar con él, experimentar el mundo como lo ve -con júbilo, admiración y una reverencia sorprendetes" Oscar Hijuelos, Premio Pulitzer
Download or read book How the Spanish Empire Was Built written by Felipe Fernández-Armesto and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2024-05-06 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The untold story of the engineering behind the empire, showing how imperial Spain built upon existing infrastructure and hierarchies of the Inca, Aztec, and more, to further its growth. Sixteenth-century Spain was small, poor, disunited, and sparsely populated. Yet the Spaniards and their allies built the largest empire the world had ever seen. How did they achieve this? Felipe Fernández-Armesto and Manuel Lucena Giraldo argue that Spain’s engineers were critical to this venture. The Spanish invested in infrastructure to the advantage of local power brokers, enhancing the abilities of incumbent elites to grow wealthy on trade, and widening the arc of Spanish influence. Bringing to life stories of engineers, prospectors, soldiers, and priests, the authors paint a vivid portrait of Spanish America in the age of conquest. This is a dazzling new history of the Spanish Empire, and a new understanding of empire itself, as a venture marked as much by collaboration as oppression.

Download or read book The Reinvention of Mexico in Contemporary Spanish Travel Writing written by Jane Hanley and published by Vanderbilt University Press. This book was released on 2021-09-15 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The long history of transatlantic movement in the Spanish-speaking world has had a significant impact on present-day concepts of Mexico and the implications of representing Mexico and Latin America more generally in Spain, Europe, and throughout the world. In addition to analyzing texts that have received little to no critical attention, this book examines the connections between contemporary travel, including the local dynamics of encounters and the global circulation of information, and the significant influence of the history of exchange between Spain and Mexico in the construction of existing ideas of place. To frame the analysis of contemporary travel writing, author Jane Hanley examines key moments in the history of Mexican-Spanish relations, including the origins of narratives regarding Spaniards' sense of Mexico's similarity to and difference from Spain. This history underpins the discussion of the role of Spanish travelers in their encounters with Mexican peoples and places and their reflection on their own role as communicators of cultural meaning and participants in the tourist economy with its impact—both negative and positive—on places.
