Book excerpt: "From the lowest ranks of poverty to unprecedented heights of riches and popular acclaim-thus was the career of Juan Gallardo, Spanish bull fighter. In telling his story, Ibanez has achieved a novel even more dramatic and powerful than his legendary Four Horsemen. From his boyhood Juan longed to be a bull fighter and, as he climbs the ladder step by step, the reader lives with him in the very atmosphere of the arena. No detail of the picture is spared-one can see and almost hear the actual battle-the crowds-the many characters that stream through the pages. And Juan himself, with his vanities, his superstitions, his daring attacks, his wounds and recoveries, emerges as real, vital and colorful as the sport to which he and many others dedicated their lives."--Goodreads

Download or read book Woman Triumphant La Maja Desnuda written by Vicente Blasco Ibáñez and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2022-07-20 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The title of this novel "Woman Triumphant" captures the novel's spirit. The woman in this case is the protagonist's wife. The wife triumphs, resurrected in spirit to exert a powerful influence over the life of a man who had wished to live without her. Excerpt: "Renovales, the hero, is simply the personification of human desire, this poor desire which, in reality, does not know what it wants, eternally fickle and unsatisfied. When we finally obtain what we desire, it does not seem enough. "More: I want more," we say. If we lose something that made life unbearable, we immediately wish it back as indispensable to our happiness. Such are we: poor deluded children who cried yesterday for what we scorn today and shall want again tomorrow; poor deluded beings plunging across the span of life on the Icarian wings of caprice."

Download or read book El Paraiso de Las Mujeres written by Vicente Blasco Ibanez and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-02-13 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: gunos, equivocadamente, que mi novela es a modo de una satira del feminismo norteamericano. Como EL PARAISO DE LAS MUJERES ha sido traducida ya a varios idiomas, me decido a publicarla igualmente en espanol, aunque no pensase en ello cuando la escribi. Sera una obra mas dentro del marco de la novela espanola, la cual desde hace algunos anos no peca ciertamente por exceso de variedad. Los mas de los novelistas marchan en fila india, uno tras otro, y solo de tarde en tarde se les ocurre saltar un poco fuera del sendero. Mientras tanto, en los otros paises la novela procura renovarse y los autores cambian con frecuencia su manera de ver la vida y de expresar sus impresiones, para que no los "encasille" el publico, adivinando de antemano lo que pueden decir. Ademas, la novela es un genero de variedad infinita, y alli donde todos los novelistas describen lo mismo, con un lenguaje semejante, la novela corre peligro de muerte. Tal vez el presente libro sea considerado por muchos como una "equivo

Download or read book Founders of the Future written by Óscar Iván Useche and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2022-03-18 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this ambitious new interdisciplinary study, Useche proposes the metaphor of the social foundry to parse how industrialization informed and shaped cultural and national discourses in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Spain. Across a variety of texts, Spanish writers, scientists, educators, and politicians appropriated the new economies of industrial production—particularly its emphasis on the human capacity to transform reality through energy and work—to produce new conceptual frameworks that changed their vision of the future. These influences soon appeared in plans to enhance the nation’s productivity, justify systems of class stratification and labor exploitation, or suggest state organizational improvements. This fresh look at canonical writers such as Emilia Pardo Bazán, Concha Espina, Benito Pérez Galdós, Vicente Blasco Ibáñez, and José Echegaray as well as lesser known authors offers close readings of their work as it reflected the complexity of Spain’s process of modernization.
