Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Papers on Spanish America The great historian of the Spanish conquests in America remarks: It would seem to have been especially ordered by Providence that the discovery of the two great divisions of the American hemi sphere should fall to the two races best fitted to conquer and colonize them. Thus the, northern section was consigned to the An lo-saxon race whose orderly, industrious habits found an ample field for development under its colder skies, and on its more rugged soil; while the southern portion, with its rich tropical products and treasures of mineral wealth, held out the most attractive bait to invite the enterprise of the Spaniards.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Literary History of Spanish America Latin America and the United States resemble two neighbors who have long lived side by side, each too busy with private matters to take more than an indifferent if not hostile interest in the other. Recently we North Americans have been taking a broader interest in our neighbors. The building of the Panama Canal has directed our attention to the south. We have discovered that those vast unknown regions are inhabited by human beings worthy of being better known though their character differ widely from our own. So great is our lack of acquaintance with our southern neighbors that few can say with ex-President Taft: - "I know the attractiveness of the Spanish American; I know his highborn courtesy; I know his love of art, his poet nature, his response to generous treatment, and I know how easily he misunderstands the thoughtless bluntness of an Anglo-Saxon diplomacy, and the too frequent lack of regard for the feelings of others that we have inherited." (The Independent, Dec. 18, 1913.) What ex-President Taft thus writes from personal experience, it is possible for others to learn by reading the books written by Spanish Americans. The main characteristics and trend of the Spanish-American mind are revealed in his literature. But shall we call Spanish-American writings literature?

This book was released on 2018-01-30 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in Spanish-American Literature The purpose of the present volume is to introduce to Eng lish readers a continental culture that they have too long neglected. Not that we have been alone in our neglect; Spain itself, the mother nation of Spanish America's grow ing republics, has until very recently ignored the letters of its numerous offspring. Owing to the meager acquaintance that our reading pub lic has with spanish-american literature, a book of purely critical essays is at this time inadvisable; I have, there fore, in the following chapters, greely mingled excerpts, exposition and a modicum of criticism, in the hope of thus providing an incentive for further delving into the authors and the books commented upon. Whatever criticism I have written has been determined by a flexible attitude, I have sought to suggest rather than to define.

Download or read book Spanish America from the Earliest Period to the Present Time Classic Reprint written by Julian Hawthorne and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-04 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Spanish America From the Earliest Period to the Present Time The close of this century witnesses a remarkable dramatic episode in the war between the United States and Spain, which has just been brought to an end. One of the oldest and once most powerful States of Europe, now worn out, and bowed with feebleness, relinquishes the empire in the west and in the east which it has held during four centuries, and retires within its original boundaries. And into its place, the inheritor of its burdens and responsibilities, steps the newest and strongest nation of the modern world, erect and confident, with the boundless future lying fair before it. It is a vivid illustration of Tennyson's profound apothegm - "The old Order changeth, giving place to new, And God fulfils Himself in many ways." It is an opportune moment in which to pass in review the history of Spain's acquisition of her colonial empire, of the manner of her administration of it, and of the way she lost it. In the following pages an attempt has been made to throw upon the screen the series of pictures which tell the tale. It is not "a tale full of sound and fury, signifying nothing." Sound and fury indeed it contains in abundance; but its significance is deep and tragic, and its moral weighty.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Spanish-American Republics The reader will find in the following pages a plain narrative of observa tion and travel in the more accessible parts of the five important republics of Spanish South America, Chili, Peru, the Argentine, Paraguay, and Uruguay. The writer neither encountered nor sought adventures; his object was not to explore unknown territory, but rather to examine the actual state of the town and country populations in the year 1890; to study the commercial and social life of the capitals and ports; to see how people live and labor in the rural dis tricts; to give an account of the various special industries; to describe the real aspect of the countries in question; to note the characteristic features of the inhabitants; and, in short, to make a modern report of the progress of civiliza tion south of the equator.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Spanish Colonial Literature in South America No intelligent person is likely to deny the importance of ofiicial documents as the basis of a nation's history; but these docu ments do not tell the whole story. There are social activities, currents of national' thought, and waves of popular sentiment, which are not fully described either in laws or governmental proclamations. Tradi tion sometimes conveys a knowledge of these aspects of society, but tradition undergoes such modifications in the course of time that it does not render the same account to all later generations or centuries. Only what is written remains fixed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Adventures in Search of a Living in Spanish America Classic Reprint written by Vaquero Vaquero and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-13 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Adventures in Search of a Living in Spanish-America In these days of many publications the preface is often little more than an excuse for writing the book. Two of the most common objections to books of travel are that they are either the superficial accounts of people who have been only a short time in the country they describe, or else that they are written from the standpoint of some occupation that does not interest the public at large. As my travels in Spanish-America extended over a period of nearly six years, it may be fairly hoped that the knowledge of some of the places here described is not superficial, and professional work often procured adventures which, if ill-paid in money, were rich in incident. So the profession has been merely used as a thread on which to hang the tale. And if the incidents here described do not altogether correspond with those experienced by others, it does not necessarily follow that any of the writers have deviated from the truth. For a wealthy tourist will see most things from a different aspect to that of a needy foreign resident who is competing for a bare living. The photographs have been selected from those taken during my travels, in the hope that they may convey to the reader a more vivid perception of the subject matter; and if my efforts should be appreciated it is proposed to follow up these adventures by a second volume that treats of the West Indies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Spanish-American Life: A Reader For Students Of Modern Spanish The Caribbean doubtless will play the important part in American history that the Mediterranean has in European history: Spanish America, now suffering in parts from the growing pains incident to lustyi youth, will develop mightily, but en lines consistent with its past history and inborn tendencies, and will be governed by ideas different from those of anglo-saxondom. Peaceful and happy relations between nations depend larg'ely en appreciating other na tions' feelings and understanding their psychology. Hence in this work the author has striven to consider the problem not merely from the point of view of a language teacher, but from that of a man of affairs, a lawyer, a historian, a student of contemporary events. Appeal is made to alert Americans who look not merely to the past, but to the present and future of the two Americas.

Download or read book Four Years Among Spanish Americans Classic Reprint written by F. Hassaurek and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-20 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Four Years Among Spanish-Americans This is not a book of travels. The impressions of a traveller in a foreign country, who passes from one place to another, taking hasty notes of undigested observations, are often erroneous, and generally un liable. It is necessary to live among a people, to speak their language, to know their history and litera ture, to study their customs, and to associate with them continually, in order to be able to write a book about them which those who are thoroughly familiar with the subject will not throw aside as presumptuous and superficial. I have left many warm friends in South America, friends whose uniform courtesy, attention, and kindness to me, I shall never cease to appreciate. Some of them, I am afraid, will object to certain passages in this book as an uncharitable return of hospitality. But to do good, the truth must be told. Vattel very properly pronounces it to be the duty of every nation to know itself. To acquire a sufficient knowledge of itself, however, a nation should wish occasionally to see itself as others see it. I have extenuated nothing, but I have set down naught in malice. I feel for those unfortunate countries, and the memory of the friends I have left there shall ever be dearly treasured up in my heart. But if the following pages were to have any merit, I had to describe South America as I found it and not as I wished it to be.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Establishment of Spanish Rule in America: An Introduction to the History and Politics of Spanish America This book has been written to present the main events connected with the establishment of Spanish rule in America, and to describe briefly the more important features of Spain's colonial organization and policy. It is not designed to embrace the history of the Spanish colonies, or to furnish a rigid analysis of their constitutional law. It aims, by the use of certain historical facts, to make clear to ordinary readers and to students in high schools and colleges the origin and character of the political and economic institutions constructed for the government of Spanish America. It aims, moreover, to suggest that American history is not all told in the history of the United States, and, by making accessible in a concise form a general account of the Spanish colonies in their earlier decades, to offer an introduction to the neglected half of American history.
