Book excerpt: Escribir mi testimonio tomó varios años, no porque tuviera que pensarlo mucho para decidir qué escribir, pues la historia no podría fluir con mas facilidad. Mi experiencia de Dios, que narré en la primera versión de mi libro conocido en español como "Testimonio" y en otros idiomas en que ha sido traducido como "De la Oscuridad a la luz", es tan rica en eventos, en etapas, en niveles, en interminables dimensiones espirituales, que podría seguir ampliándola por el resto de mi vida. A pesar de no tener una formación teológica o de ciencias religiosas que me acredite como docto en estos temas, he tenido mucha libertad de expresar estos misterios. Es una plena dicha compartir con ustedes todas estas experiencias que he tenido con Dios. Lo invito entonces querido lector, a navegar conmigo por estas aguas sobrenaturales de mi testimonio y le pido a Dios que imparta una gran bendición sobre su vida para que se convierta en un verdadero faro de luz en este mundo de tinieblas. Dios sea bendito!

Book excerpt: Yo quisiera poder escribirles, Un poema tan largo como mi vida, Sin que la inspiración me faltara, La que proviene de más arriba... Mas estos poemas que he escrito, Con mi vida tienen poca relación, Y de alguna manera un cúmulo son, De las inquietudes de mi corazón. Yo no soy ni escritor, ni poeta, A pesar de que escribo poemas, Que no son de la norma a seguir, Ni ajustados a literatura concreta. Mas es éste, mi terco corazón, Que no se cansa de soñar y de cantar... ¿Y cómo esos sueños habría de perder, Si ellos son los que me invitan a vivir? Seguro mil errores aquí ha de haber, Y muchas reglas de escritura sin seguir, Y ni siquiera las medidas se tomaron, Por eso los poemas se descuadraron. Y como digo: aclaro que mis poemas, Son una antología de mi corazón, Y que sin haber nacido yo poeta, Me arriesgué a irrumpir en la vocación.

Download or read book Spanish Gothic written by Xavier Aldana Reyes and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-03-16 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the first English introduction to the broad history of the Gothic mode in Spain. It focuses on key literary periods, such as Romanticism, the fin-de-siècle, spiritualist writings of the early-twentieth century, and the cinematic and literary booms of the 1970s and 2000s. With illustrative case studies, Aldana Reyes demonstrates how the Gothic mode has been a permanent yet ever-shifting fixture of the literary and cinematic landscape of Spain since the late-eighteenth century. He proposes that writers and filmmakers alike welcomed the Gothic as a liberating and transgressive artistic language.

Download or read book Gothic Mash Ups written by Natalie Neill and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2022-03-14 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gothic Mash-Ups explores the role of intertextuality in Gothic storytelling through the analysis of texts from diverse periods and media. Drawing on recent scholarship on Gothic remix and adaptation, the contributors examine crossover fictions, multi-source film and comic book adaptations, neo-Victorian pastiches, performance magic, monster mashes, and intertextual Gothic works of various kinds. Their chapters investigate many critical issues related to Gothic mash-up, including authorship, originality, intellectual property, fandom, commercialization, and canonicity. Although varied in approach, the chapters all explore how Gothic storytellers make new stories out of older ones, relying on a mix of appropriation and innovation. Covering many examples of mash-up, from nineteenth-century Gothic novels to twenty-first-century video games and interactive fiction, this collection builds from the premise that the Gothic is a fundamentally hybrid genre.

Download or read book Citizens of Memory written by Silvia R. Tandeciarz and published by Bucknell University Press. This book was released on 2017-11-10 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Citizens of Memory explores efforts at recollection in post-dictatorship Argentina and the hoped-for futures they set in motion. The material, visual, narrative, and pedagogical interventions it analyzes address the dark years of state repression (1976-1983) while engaging ongoing debates about how this traumatic past should be transmitted to future generations. Two theoretical principles structure the book’s approach to cultural recall: the first follows from an understanding of memory as a social construct that is always as much about the past as it is of the present; the second from the observation that what distinguishes memory from history is affect. These principles guide the study of iconic sites of memory in the city of Buenos Aires; photographic essays about the missing and the dictatorship’s legacies of violence; documentary films by children of the disappeared that challenge hegemonic representations of seventies’ militancy; a novel of exile that moves recollection across national boundaries; and a human rights education program focused on memory. Understanding recollection as a practice that lends coherence to disparate forces, energies, and affects, the book approaches these spatial, visual, and scripted registers as impassioned narratives that catalyze a new attentiveness within those they hail. It suggests, moreover, that by inciting deep reflection and an active engagement with the legacies of state violence, interventions like these can help advance the cause of transitional justice and contribute to the development of new political subjectivities invested in the construction of less violent futures.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Como en un principio, los fantasmas interiores volvieron y lo hicieron con más fuerza que antes, provocando en mí el odio y el rencor más grande que haya sentido nunca hacia una persona; estoy seguro también que este asunto terminará con la muerte. Resulta curioso, porque aunque en algunos momentos siento que a ese hombre que me ordenan asesinar lo conozco profundamente y me he enfrentado a él, hay otros en que mi mente es bloqueada e ignoro cómo es él en realidad. Aunque ahora sepa de quién se trata, también sé, sin la menor duda, que al encontrarle en mi camino voy a hacerle mucho daño. Así lo mandan las fuerzas internas que habitan en mí y así se hará, repito, no me cabe la menor duda.

Download or read book El P Jaro Escritor written by Manolo Yag E. and published by Palibrio. This book was released on 2012-09 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El pájaro escritor es único en su especie: se trata de un hombre diminuto que vive encerrado en una pajarera y se pasa el día, muy a su pesar, escribiendo. El pájaro escritor se compone de trece relatos de sorprendente factura: la conducta insensata de dos ancianos japoneses ante el desastre de Fukushima; un hombre que a todas horas escucha caer una gota y cuya mujer incuba un feto de dos cabezas; un niño que desaparece durante el juego del escondite; un barrendero que vive en el interior de una baldosa por temor a cruzar líneas en el suelo; un padre fallecido que se le aparece a su hijo en la forma de una ridícula..., en fin, mejor que lo lean. Ejemplos de personajes cotidianos o risibles, a los que les sucede por un momento algo extraordinario o simplemente extraño: el arte de la literatura lo transforma en una metáfora de sus vidas. El humor, a veces negro, pero siempre compasivo, está entretejido de forma inevitable con la tragedia o el drama, como nos demuestran estos relatos ingeniosos y de fácil lectura, aunque no simples. Son, muy al contrario, cuentos cargados de profundidad emocional y humana.
