Book excerpt: Excerpt from Types From Spanish Story: Or the Old Manners and Customs of Castile Though most of the types or stories of incident or character referred to in this volume arc part and parcel of the common stock of furniture possessed by the most modest literary housekeepers, a preface may be required to explain to others with less leisure for reading whence they have been derived. They have, then, been selected chiefly from works which may be taken to represent the classic literature of romance in Spain. In their chronological order they may be thus briefly mentioned: - Lazarillo de Tormes appeared in 1553. It was written by a Spanish classic, Don Diego Hurtado de Mendoza, a man of ancient and noble family, poet, historian, philosopher, politician, and general in the brilliant age of Charles V., of Francis I., and of Henry VIII. Another Scipio, he devoted himself at once to war and letters. He distinguished himself in the collection of Greek and Latin MSS. He was a rare Arabic scholar. His licentious disposition brought him into many scrapes. Having, for instance, in an affair of gallantry summarily disposed of a rival by throwing him out of a window, he was clapped in prison for it, where he spent his time in composing love-songs. His history of the war of Granada may be compared with the work of Sallust or Machiavelli. He was the author of numerous other books, of which the most distinguished is the "Lazarillo," a masterpiece of satiric humour, even after the Inquisition had torn out some of the best portions of it with its holy claws. It is the origin of the guilo picaresco in Spain. Guzman D'Alfarache appeared in 1599. It was written by Mateo Aleman, a native of Seville, an author of considerable eminence in the reign of Philip II. Like Mendoza, he was a man of genius and a scholar.

Download or read book The Story of Spanish written by Jean-Benoît Nadeau and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2013-05-07 with total page 485 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors of The Story of French are back with a new linguistic history of the Spanish language and its progress around the globe. Just how did a dialect spoken by a handful of shepherds in Northern Spain become the world's second most spoken language, the official language of twenty-one countries on two continents, and the unofficial second language of the United States? Jean-Benoît Nadeau and Julie Barlow, the husband-and-wife team who chronicled the history of the French language in The Story of French, now look at the roots and spread of modern Spanish. Full of surprises and honed in Nadeau and Barlow's trademark style, combining personal anecdote, reflections, and deep research, The Story of Spanish is the first full biography of a language that shaped the world we know, and the only global language with two names—Spanish and Castilian. The story starts when the ancient Phoenicians set their sights on "The Land of the Rabbits," Spain's original name, which the Romans pronounced as Hispania. The Spanish language would pick up bits of Germanic culture, a lot of Arabic, and even some French on its way to taking modern form just as it was about to colonize a New World. Through characters like Queen Isabella, Christopher Columbus, Cervantes, and Goya, The Story of Spanish shows how Spain's Golden Age, the Mexican Miracle, and the Latin American Boom helped shape the destiny of the language. Other, more somber episodes, also contributed, like the Spanish Inquisition, the expulsion of Spain's Jews, the destruction of native cultures, the political instability in Latin America, and the dictatorship of Franco. The Story of Spanish shows there is much more to Spanish than tacos, flamenco, and bullfighting. It explains how the United States developed its Hispanic personality from the time of the Spanish conquistadors to Latin American immigration and telenovelas. It also makes clear how fundamentally Spanish many American cultural artifacts and customs actually are, including the dollar sign, barbecues, ranching, and cowboy culture. The authors give us a passionate and intriguing chronicle of a vibrant language that thrived through conquests and setbacks to become the tongue of Pedro Almodóvar and Gabriel García Márquez, of tango and ballroom dancing, of millions of Americans and hundreds of millions of people throughout the world.
