Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Una gran parte de la sabiduría popular son esas frases breves e ingeniosas, que en pocas palabras expresan el conocimiento de las costumbres y son un pequeño resumen de sabiduría popular. Durante mucho tiempo estas coloquiales ideas formaron parte importante de la enseñanza y se transmitieron de padres a hijos; son manifestaciones claras del ingenio, de la observación y de la experiencia y fueron mil veces repetidas: algunas de ellas han pasado de moda, pero la mayoría siguen vigentes. Sin embargo se ha ido perdiendo la valiosa tradición de herencia hispana, porque un absurdo modernismo nos ha invadido, no sólo en cuanto al lenguaje, sino también respecto a la comunicación entre los padres y sus hijos. Afecta la falta de convivencia familiar y la desintegración de la misma, la influencia de la TV y el internet, que han distorsionado los valores tradicionales de las familias mexicanas. Se han filtrado costumbres importadas de otros países que no tienen mucho en común con México. Lástima que sólo se contagie lo malo, porque la puntualidad, la responsabilidad, la honestidad y el respeto a las leyes, que practican los ciudadanos de otros países, no las tomamos en cuenta, ni conservamos aquellas tradiciones que nos enriquecieron, siendo factores fuertes de la unión, el desarrollo y el progreso que tanta falta nos hacen, especialmente en los últimos años, ya que la violencia, la desconfianza y la inseguridad, son los elementos negativos que predominan. Mi padre alguna vez tuvo el deseo de hacer una recopilación de refranes y un día de tantos y en homenaje a él, comencé a escribir unos cuantos que recordaba y cuando me dí cuenta, eran muchos más de lo que me imaginaba. La gran mayoría tienen su origen en la obra de Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, "Don Quijote de la Mancha" también llamado El Caballero de la triste figura; otros provienen de la Sagrada Biblia, y muchos otros se originan en las distintas regiones, según la influencia racial, el clima y las costumbres. Muchos los aprendí de labios de Papá, otros de Mamá, de mis maestros y otros tantos al paso de la vida, que es gran maestra. Aquellos que aprendí siendo una niña forman parte de mis recuerdos más preciados y me han traído evocaciones de aquella muy lejana época, agradeciendo a Dios y a mis queridos padres el don de la vida y de aquella feliz convivencia familiar con mis hermanos. Todo pertenece al pasado, un tiempo que no regresa, pero en la memoria reviven aquellos recuerdos felices que forman parte esencial de cada persona. Quiero compartir con ustedes los refranes, dichos y dicharachos que no sólo me pertenecen al haberlos recopilado con interés y curiosidad, sino que son comunes a todos los que crecimos con estas enseñanzas prácticas y enriquecedoras. Mi deseo es que los disfruten.... Susana Arredondo Oliveros (Ahora: Susana Arredondo Laclette).

Book excerpt: Newly Reissued New York Times Bestselling Author “Beautiful and heartrending. . . . Memoir, autobiography, epicedium, perhaps even some fiction: they are all here, and they are all quite wonderful.” —Los Angeles Times When Isabel Allende’s daughter, Paula, became gravely ill and fell into a coma, the author began to write the story of her family for her unconscious child. In the telling, bizarre ancestors appear before our eyes; we hear both delightful and bitter childhood memories, amazing anecdotes of youthful years, the most intimate secrets passed along in whispers. With Paula, Allende has written a powerful autobiography whose straightforward acceptance of the magical and spiritual worlds will remind readers of her first book, The House of the Spirits.

Download or read book ABC Apple Pie written by Maria Aduke Alabi and published by . This book was released on 2020-11-13 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABC Apple Pie is a book for elementary school children about the tale of an apple pie and how some town folks relate to it in various ways when wanting to taste it. Based on an 18th Century Rhyme with which kids can learn the alphabet and the use of some verbs in the past tense while reading, additionally, kids have the chance to learn Spanish. The Apple Pie ABC is an 18th Century children rhyme was meant to teach children the order of the alphabet. According to The Oxford Dictionary of Nursery Rhymes (Oxford and New York, 2nd edition), pp. 53-4 by Peter & Iona Opie (1997). The earliest mention of the rhyme was in religious work in 1671 only using the letter A to G. The first printed version of the rhyme was in "Child's new plaything" in London 1742 and Boston 1750, this book was intended to make the learning process fun. After that, in London 1747 and Boston 1764, appear in "Tom Thumb's Playbook" for the early learning purpose. The more famous publication was A Apple Pie by Kate Greenaway in London 1886, which due to her wonderful illustration get to captivate a big public nationally and internationally. Up today have being reprinted many times in the U.S. At the 18th century the writing of the capital letters I and J, and of U and V, was not differentiated, which explains the absence of the two vowels in the early versions. Later versions added I and U with, "I inspected it" and "U upset it".
Download or read book Architect s Note book in Spain written by Matthew Digby Wyatt and published by Publio Kiadó Kft. This book was released on 1873 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BEFORE quitting England for a first visit to Spain in the Autumn of 1869, I made up my mind both to see and draw as much of the Architectural remains of that country as the time and means at my disposal would permit; and further determined so to draw as to admit of the publication of my sketches and portions of my notes on the objects represented, in the precise form in which they might be made. I was influenced in that determination by the consciousness that almost from day to day the glorious past was being trampled out in Spain; and that whatever issue, prosperous or otherwise, the fortunes of that much distracted country might take in the future, the minor monuments of Art at least which adorned its soil, would rapidly disappear. Their disappearance would result naturally from what is called "progress" if Spain should revive; while their perishing through neglect and wilful damage, or peculation, would inevitably follow, if the ever smouldering embers of domestic revolution should burst afresh into flame. Such has been the invariable action of those fires which in all history have melted away the most refined evidences of man's intelligence, leaving behind only scanty, and often all but shapeless, relics of the richest and ripest genius.
Download or read book Huellas de Sefarad written by Marc Shanker and published by Marc Shanker. This book was released on 2008 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The first book to use Ladino proverbs as the basis of fine art. The book combines 45 interpretive etchings with literary and scholarly essays by one of Spain's most prominent novelists and an internationally respected Sephardic and Biblical scholar. The etchings are witty, irreverent, whimsical, and profound, and offer a window into the Sephardic culture and experience. Mr. Shanker's style matches perfectly the proverbs: naively simple and deeply philosophical. Marc Shanker's haunted art conjures the spirits of Spain and Salonica ... and in doing so keeps the old alive, as the proverb has it, for the good of the young ... (and) for the pleasure of all, Peter Cole. TOS has the aura of a small ark about it, Maria Rosa Menocal. Limited Edition: 1000 copies."--PublisherMarc Shanker (Author, Illustrator), Antonio Muñoz Molina (Introduction), T.A. Perry (Introduction, Translator)Donated by Marc Shanker.
Download or read book The Poetry of Antonio Machado written by Xon de Ros and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2015 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a much needed reappraisal of a major twentieth-century Spanish poet, Antonio Machado (1875-1939), offering compelling arguments why his poetry should have a more vital profile not only within the precincts of Hispanism but also alongside the most significant twentieth-century poets of Europe and America, seeking to open up new perspectives for the interpretation of his poetry. The unifying concepts, as the title suggests, are landscape and transformation. Landscape, a topic barely broached in Spanish poetry before Machado, is a central thematic concern in his poetry.
