Download or read book Pepita Jimenez a Novel by Juan Valera written by Juan Valera and published by Hispanic Classics. This book was released on 2012 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Juan Valera y Alcalá-Galiano (1824-1905), one of 19th-century Spain's most well known authors, had a career in the diplomatic service with postings in Europe and the Americas. A serious student of his own and foreign literatures, Valera wrote novels, short stories, essays and literary criticism. Fluent in a number of languages, he also translated Longus's Daphne and Chloe from Greek into Spanish. The unifying thread of his creative work is "art for art's sake," that is, beauty as the end and purpose of imaginative literature, an ideal epitomised by Pepita Jiménez , long considered one of the best half dozen novels of 19th-century Spain. When it was first published in 1874, Pepita Jiménez became an instant success. Translations abound, as do the number of editions, upwards of fifteen, many of them annotated, some of them illustrated. It tells of Luis de Vargas, a devout twenty-two-year-old seminarian who has come home to visit with his father before entering the priesthood. The storyline unfolds when he meets a comely twenty-year-old widow named Pepita Jiménez and has his religious calling put to the test. On the heels of a fictitious prologue, Valera gives the reader multiple perspectives. The first part of the novel is epistolary in form, letters that Luis writes to the Dean, who is both his uncle and his mentor at the seminary, and everything - people, places, and activities - is filtered through his eyes. The second part reverts to the traditional all-seeing narrator of the realist novel, while the third consists of letters that Pedro de Vargas, Luis's father, writes to his brother the Dean.
Download or read book P jaro Verde Y Otros Cuentos written by Juan Valera and published by Juan de la Cuesta-Hispanic Monographs. This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Green Bird and Other Tales / El pajaro verde y otros cuentos brings together, in English translation and in the original castellano, nine works that identify Juan Valera as an authentic fairy-tale/fantasy writer, a fictional chronicler of two legendary Spanish historical personages, and a tongue-in-cheek humorist. Well before the critical and popular success of his Pepita Jimenez in 1874, Valera was drawn to the oral tradition of Andalusia, his native patria chica, where he found "The Green Bird" being passed orally from generation to generation. Citing Spain's lack of collections-in his time [siglo]-like those of the brothers Grimm, Andersen, and Perrault, he writes in his Cuentos y chascarrillos andaluces that his aim is to add to the "written treasure of tales popularly told [tesoro escrito de los cuentos que el vulgo refiere]." And they range, in this Juan de la Cuesta collection, from the lyrical and poetic to the comical and earthy. The historical pieces center on Bernardo del Carpio, of whom don Quijote was so fond, and Gonzalo Fernandez de Cordoba, the Great Captain, who fought so long and so valiantly in the service of the Catholic Monarchs, Isabel of Castile and Fernando of Aragon. Here Valera again shines, weaving fictional accounts in fluid prose, and with a thorough command of Spanish history, as he brings to life two figures of legend and lore. Together the nine tales demonstrate that Juan Valera excels in short, as well as long, prose fiction.
Download or read book The Cambridge Companion to the Spanish Novel written by Harriet Turner and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2003-09-11 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cambridge Companion to the Spanish Novel presents the development of the modern Spanish novel from 1600 to the present. Drawing on the combined legacies of Don Quijote and the traditions of the picaresque novel, these essays focus on the question of invention and experiment, on what constitutes the singular features of evolving fictional forms. It examines how the novel articulates the relationships between history and fiction, high and popular culture, art and ideology, and gender and society. Contributors highlight the role played by historical events and cultural contexts in the elaboration of the Spanish novel, which often takes a self-conscious stance toward literary tradition. Topics covered include the regional novel, women writers, and film and literature. This companionable survey, which includes a chronology and guide to further reading, conveys a vivid sense of the innovative techniques of the Spanish novel and of the debates surrounding it.

Download or read book Pre Columbian Foodways written by John Staller and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-11-24 with total page 691 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The significance of food and feasting to Pre-Columbian Mesoamerican cultures has been extensively studied by archaeologists, anthropologists and art historians. Foodways studies have been critical to our understanding of early agriculture, political economies, and the domestication and management of plants and animals. Scholars from diverse fields have explored the symbolic complexity of food and its preparation, as well as the social importance of feasting in contemporary and historical societies. This book unites these disciplinary perspectives — from the social and biological sciences to art history and epigraphy — creating a work comprehensive in scope, which reveals our increasing understanding of the various roles of foods and cuisines in Mesoamerican cultures. The volume is organized thematically into three sections. Part 1 gives an overview of food and feasting practices as well as ancient economies in Mesoamerica. Part 2 details ethnographic, epigraphic and isotopic evidence of these practices. Finally, Part 3 presents the metaphoric value of food in Mesoamerican symbolism, ritual, and mythology. The resulting volume provides a thorough, interdisciplinary resource for understanding, food, feasting, and cultural practices in Mesoamerica.
