Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carlos Fuentes (1928–2012) was the most prominent novelist in contemporary Mexico and, until his recent death, one of the leading voices in Latin America’s Boom generation. He received the most prestigious awards and prizes in the world, including the Latin Civilization Award (presented by the Presidents of Brazil, Mexico, and France), the Miguel de Cervantes Prize, and the Prince of Asturias Award. During his fecund and accomplished life as a writer, literary theorist, and political analyst, Fuentes turned his attention to the major conflicts of the twentieth century – from the Second World War and the Cuban Revolution, to the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia, the war in Vietnam, and the post-revolutionary crisis of the one-party rule in Mexico – and attended to their political and international importance in his novels, short fiction, and essays. Known for his experimentation in narrative techniques, and for novels and essays written in a global range that illuminate the conflicts of our times, Fuentes’s writings have been rightfully translated into most of the world’s languages. His literary work continues to spur and provoke the interest of a global readership on diverse civilizations and eras, from Imperial Spain and post-revolutionary France, to Ancient and Modern Mexico, the United States, and Latin America. The Reptant Eagle: Essays on Carlos Fuentes and the Art of the Novel includes nineteen essays and one full introduction written exclusively for this volume by renowned Fuentes scholars from Asia, Europe, the United States, and Latin America. Collected into five parts, the essays integrate wide-ranging methods and innovative readings of The Death of Artemio Cruz (1962), Aura (1962), Terra Nostra (1975) and, among other novels, Distant Relations (1980); they analyze the visual arts in Fuentes’s novels (Diego Rivera’s murals and world film); chart and comment on the translations of Fuentes’s narratives into Japanese and Romanian; and propose comprehensive readings of The Buried Mirror (1992) and Personas (2012), Fuentes’s posthumous book of essays. Beyond their comprehensive and interdisciplinary scope, the book’s essays trace Fuentes’s conscious resolve to contribute to the art of the novel and to its uninterrupted tradition, from Cervantes and Rabelais to Thomas Mann and Alejo Carpentier, and from the Boom generation to Latin America’s “Boomerang” group of younger writers. This book will be of importance to literary critics, teachers, students, and readers interested in Carlos Fuentes’s world-embracing literary work.

Download or read book 100 historias secretas de la Segunda Guerra Mundial written by Jesús Hernández and published by ROCA EDITORIAL. This book was released on 2014-06-01 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La Segunda Guerra Mundial encierra todavía muchos secretos. Millones de documentos esperan todavía a ser desclasificados, pero poco a poco vamos conociendo historias impactantes y sorprendentes que se han mantenido ocultas durante décadas. En este libro, el lector podrá conocer los planes aliados para secuestrar a Hitler, asesinar científicos enemigos o atacar las ciudades alemanas con bombas bacteriológicas. También descubrirá los esfuerzos realizados para esconder de la luz pública accidentes y tragedias que se saldaron con centenares de muertos, así como el turbio pasado de colaboración con el régimen nazi de marcas comerciales que hoy gozan de un gran prestigio. Un velo de silencio cayó también sobre la vida personal de los grandes protagonistas de la contienda; la imagen virtuosa de Roosevelt, Eisenhower o Patton quedó salvaguardada durante años al encubrir sus relaciones extramatrimoniales. Pero en otros casos menos frívolos, como las muertes de Mussolini o Himmler, el misterio sobre las extrañas circunstancias en que se produjeron- y que siguen archivadas bajo el sello de alto secreto- continúan alimentando todo tipo de especulaciones...

Download or read book Historias asombrosas de la Segunda Guerra Mundial written by Jesús Hernández Martínez and published by Ediciones Nowtilus. This book was released on 2007-02-01 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El conflicto más salvaje de la historia de la humanidad está, no obstante, plagado de historias y anécdotas tremendamente sorprendentes y llenas de humanidad. La Segunda Guerra Mundial es uno de los periodos históricos más estudiados en el pasado S. XX y en este siglo, no obstante, aún no hemos logrado responder a la infinidad de preguntas que sigue suscitando. Frente a la inmensidad de libros que tratan pormenorizadamente los detalles más importantes y conocidos de la guerra, Historias asombrosas de la Segunda Guerra Mundial nos presenta otra visión del conflicto armado más terrible de la historia humana. Un repaso por las zonas más oscuras del conflicto que, además de entretenido, puede ser revelador e instructivo para todos aquellos interesados este episodio de la historia. Jesús Hernández estructura el libro temáticamente, y presenta temas tan importantes como las relaciones entre la guerra y la cultura, la presencia de animales condecorados en ambos bandos o las curiosidades de la guerra en el aire, en el mar y en las trincheras. Facilita así la asimilación de los datos y aglutina las anécdotas para que el lector pueda relacionar las curiosidades de un bando con las del contrario. Descubriremos así datos tan curiosos como la Venus de Milo de escayola con la que los franceses engañaron a los expertos alemanes, o la historia de Mary, una paloma que fue condecorada por vencer a los halcones nazis, o el curioso relato del coche blindado de Roosevelt que procedía del mismísimo Al Capone. Un libro ameno y didáctico que ayudará a hacernos comprender que la Segunda Guerra Mundial es una fuente inagotable de pequeñas historias humanas. Razones para comprar la obra: - Es una obra accesible para cualquier tipo de lector independientemente de su conocimiento de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. - Aporta una visión nueva un tema tan tratado en el siglo pasado y en los inicios de este. - El autor nos relata las curiosas anécdotas en un estilo ligero que acerca el tema a cualquier lector y ayuda a comprender la materia. - Muchas de las historias están basadas en datos derivados de las más recientes investigaciones sobre la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Una obra tremendamente entretenida que muestra, sin embargo, los hechos históricos con todo el rigor y la precisión que un tema como éste reclaman. Un rayo de luz que aclara la parte más humana de este conflicto en el que la locura llegó a cotas inauditas hasta entonces. Para comenzar a leer la obra: www.book2look.es/book/9788497633529
