Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mucho antes de que existieran talleres y cursos de escritura creativa, los aspirantes a escritores aprendían a escribir leyendo a sus predecesores y a sus contemporáneos. Ésta es la propuesta en la que profundiza la novelista y profesora de literatura Francine Prose: volver a emplear la lectura atenta y consciente de los grandes escritores para descubrir sus magistrales mecanismos literarios como técnica de aprendizaje para el escritor en ciernes; en definitiva, aprender a leer como lo hace un escritor. Prose nos invita así a un viaje guiado que desentraña muchas de las herramientas y trucos del oficio empleados por escritores tan perdurables como Dostoievski, Flaubert, Kafka, Austen, Dickens, Woolf o Chéjov. Asimismo, sus clarificadores comentarios sobre las decisiones narrativas adoptadas por los escritores se detienen, entre otros, en temas como: la importancia de la elección de palabras en Paul Bowles; la construcción de magníficas frases largas en Philip Roth y de igualmente efectivas frases cortas en Raymond Carver; la calculada y sabia partición en párrafos en Isaak Babel; la brillante creación de personajes en George Elliot; los medidos diálogos generadores de trama por sí mismos en John Le Carré; el uso del detalle revelador en Flannery O’Connor; las sutilezas narrativas en Nabokov o el magistral empleo de los gestos para crear personajes en James Joyce y Katherine Mansfield. Además de abrirnos un basto horizonte para empezar a escribir ficción con eficacia narrativa, Prose nos enseña también a mejorar nuestra agudeza lectora misma, y no sólo a leer sino a escuchar a los demás en la vida real, un añadido del todo generoso en los tiempos que corren, y que se suma a su objetivo principal, que es ofrecer unas verdaderas lecciones privadas sobre el arte de la literatura de ficción.

Download or read book Gabriel Garc a M rquez written by Gerald Martin and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2009-05-05 with total page 689 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this exhaustive and enlightening biography—nearly two decades in the making—Gerald Martin dexterously traces the life and times of one of the twentieth century’s greatest literary titans, Nobel Prize-winner Gabriel García Márquez. Martin chronicles the particulars of an extraordinary life, from his upbringing in backwater Colombia and early journalism career, to the publication of One Hundred Years of Solitude at age forty, and the wealth and fame that followed. Based on interviews with more than three hundred of Garcia Marquez’s closest friends, family members, fellow authors, and detractors—as well as the many hours Martin spent with ‘Gabo’ himself—the result is a revelation of both the writer and the man. It is as gripping as any of Gabriel García Márquez’s powerful journalism, as enthralling as any of his acclaimed and beloved fiction.

Download or read book Ensayos sobre cr tica literaria written by Antonio Alatorre and published by El Colegio de Mexico AC. This book was released on 2013-08-24 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Antonio Alatorre reunió, en 1993, trece artículos en los que expone su manera de ver la literatura y de entender y ejercer la crítica literaria. No formula ninguna "teoría literaria" ni ninguna "metodología" (nada más ajeno a sus afanes), simplemente propone su manera de entender dos fenómenos indisolublemente trabados: la literatura y la lectura. Alatorre muestra que el que lee y, muy importante, siente lo que lee, es ya un crítico literario en potencia: con las herramientas adecuadas será capaz de pensar críticamente y de explicar las razones de la emoción experimentada. El crítico no es sino un lector más "formado", más "instruido", dotado de mayor capacidad de recepción, de mayor sagacidad literaria y de la capacidad y honradez para transmitir elocuente y claramente su experiencia de lector. Este "librito" se publicó originalmente en la colección Lecturas Mexicanas de Conaculta. Actualmente esta edición se encuentra agotada. De 1993 a 2010, Alatorre añadió algunas noticias más, pulió una que otra idea (pocas) y corrigió poquísimas cosillas de estilo. Se ofrece esta nueva edición (algo corregida y añadida) para conmemorar los 90 años del nacimiento de Antonio Alatorre.
Download or read book The Wounds of Possibility written by Ricardo Gil Soeiro and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2013-01-04 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bringing together writers, translators, poets, and leading scholars of cultural theory, literary theory, comparative literature, philosophy, history, political science, music studies, and education, The Wounds of Possibility aims to offer an in-depth and wide-ranging study of George Steiner’s imposing body of work. This book is a timely volume of important essays on one of the most provocative thinkers, critics, and philosophers now writing. During an era in which the question of the ethical and of the status of the work of art, and its relation to the theological dimension, has returned with renewed urgency, Steiner’s work provides rich resources for reflection and it is hoped that the volume will stand on its own as a rich, nuanced accompaniment to the reading of Steiner’s work. With their broad range of thematic foci, theoretical approaches, and stunning constellations of quoted material from different backgrounds, all the essays in the book try to reflect upon the relation between human identity and language, ethics and literature, philosophy and art, and they all offer what we regard as being the most comprehensive engagement with Steiner’s work to date.
