Download or read book Montalvo s Capitulos Que Se Le Olvidaron a Certantes written by Kristen N. Helmsdoerfer and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an attempt to use Catholicism to unify and nationalize nineteenth-century Ecuador, political leaders such as Gabriel Garcia Moreno and Ignacio de Veintemilla instituted rigid centralization measures that heightened the power of the clergy and divided liberals and conservatives. Amid this backdrop one leading liberal thinker, Juan Montalvo, attacked Ecuadorian tyrannical leaders and clergy in his numerous political pamphlets and journals and wrote prolifically about the importance of individual freedoms and regaining basic human rights. In 1895 Montalvo published an imitation of the popular Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes titled Los capitulos que se le olvidaron a Cervantes (The Chapters Cervantes Forgot), transforming the madman into a biblically virtuous figure to immortalize his anti-clerical humor and social commentary on religious and governmental institutions. By offering an analysis in English of his satirical comedy and political and religious themes, I bring a previously untranslated yet important work to a wider readership while offering another interpretation for its full comedic potential. I draw biographical and literary comparisons between Cervantes and Montalvo and demonstrate the power of Don Quixote and its eponymous character to become a transnational vehicle for meaningful religious and political expression.

Download or read book Andes written by Michael Jacobs and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2011-05-01 with total page 593 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For centuries, the Andes have caught the imagination of travelers, inspiring fear and wonder. The groundbreaking scientist Alexander von Humboldt claimed that ""everything here is grander and more majestic than in the Swiss Alps, the Pyrenees, the Carpathians, the Apennines, and all other mountains I have known."" Rivaled in height only by the Himalayas and stretching more than 4,500 miles, the sheer immensity of the Andes is matched by its concentration of radically contrasting scenery and climates, and the rich and diverse cultures of the people who live there. In this remarkable book, travel writer Michael Jacobs journeys across seven different countries, from the balmy Caribbean to the inhospitable islands of the Tierra del Fuego, through the relics of ancient civilizations and the remnants of colonial rule, retracing the footsteps of previous travelers. His route begins in Venezuela, following the path of the great nineteenth–century revolutionary Simón Bolívar, but soon diverges to include accounts from sources as varied as Humboldt, the young Charles Darwin, and Bolívar's extraordinary and courageous mistress, Manuela Saenz. On his way, Jacobs uncovers the stories of those who have shared his fascination and discovers the secrets of a region steeped in history, science, and myth.

Download or read book Arise Ye Wretched of the Earth The First International in a Global Perspective written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2018-03-20 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Arise Ye Wretched of the Earth” provides a fresh account of the International Working Men’s Association. Founded in London in 1864, the First International gathered trade unions, associations, co-operatives, and individual workers across Europe and the Americas. The IWMA struggled for the emancipation of labour. It organised solidarity with strikers. It took sides in major events, such as the 1871 Paris Commune. It soon appeared as a threat to European powers, which vilified and prosecuted it. Although it split up in 1872, the IWMA played a ground-breaking part in the history of working-class internationalism. In our age of globalised capitalism, large labour migration, and rising nationalisms, much can be learnt from the history of the first international labour organisation.
