This book was released on 2016-09-20 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cádiz, what picturesque place! Cádiz is a small town that has a rich cultural background. It is picturesque and it also has a beautiful, luminous bay. Cádiz (as some historians say) is the oldest town in the west which lends the town a very proud feel. Ancient cities, such as Greece and Rome, besides their Christian past, represent our history. Years and years went by and the town fell down, but that is another story. Cádiz, un pequeño centro urbano con una larguísima trayectoria cultural. Fotogenia y una bahía llena de plateados destellos, al servicio de la belleza con una ancha paleta de colores. Cádiz (según algunos historiadores) es la ciudad más antigua de Occidente; y eso brinda cierto orgullo, carácter y patriotismo hispano. Luego está la decadencia de los últimos años, pero esa es otra historia.

Download or read book 1812 Echoes written by Stephen G.H. Roberts and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2013-07-26 with total page 455 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book commemorates the bicentenary of the landmark Spanish Constitution of 1812. Drafted by Spanish and colonial Spanish American liberals (and non-liberals) holed up in Cadiz as Napoleon’s troops occupied the surrounding hills, this war-time Constitution set out radically to redefine ‘the Spanish nation’ for a new age. In the event, it divided Spaniards and threw into sharp relief the question of Spain’s legitimacy in her American colonies. Cadiz 1812 is a defining moment in the modern history of the Spanish-speaking world. Bringing together specialists in the history, politics and culture of Spain and Latin America (the Cadiz text was a cultural and ethnic document as much as a politico-legal one), this volume represents the only large-scale commemoration in the UK of one of the world’s first liberal constitutional tracts. The point of the book, however, as of the conference and accompanying exhibition on which it is based, is not solely to reflect on the significance and repercussions of Cadiz 1812 on both sides of the Hispanic Atlantic at the time. The book also considers later interpretations of Cadiz 1812 and examines, in addition, other constitutions in the Spanish-speaking world beyond 1812. Subjects treated include: Spain’s crisis of absolutism; the Inquisition before the Constitution; liberalism and Catholicism; discourses of the 1812 Constitution; the question of sovereignty; political theatre during the Napoleonic invasion; Goya; the Spanish crisis in the British press; Lord Holland and Blanco White; Pérez Galdós’s Cádiz; futuristic literary representations of Spain’s nineteenth-century crisis; political and philosophical echoes in Latin America in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries – in Cúcuta, Mexico, Argentina and Cuba; and, finally, politico-philosophical echoes in Spain – in the Liberal Triennium, in the mid-nineteenth century, in the Spanish Second Republic, in 1978, and in 2011 in the midst of the financial (but it is also a constitutional) crisis. The volume includes a specially-conducted interview with Spanish politician Alfonso Guerra, one of the figures behind the Spanish Constitution of 1978.

Download or read book The Silver Teacup written by Louis Villalba and published by Louis Villalba. This book was released on 2012-03-21 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Silver Teacup: Tales of Cadiz is a collection of fourteen historical fiction short stories that take place in Cadiz, Spain, a 3000-year-old city. Cadiz was the far frontier of ancient civilizations, major outpost in the discovery of America, and the cradle of democracy of the Hispanic nations. The author uses creative storytelling to engage the readers and transport them to the enchanting streets of this port town. There, they are shuttled back in time to witness important ancient and contemporary events: the Roman Empire, Moor and Christian Spain, the Spanish Inquisition, the uprising against Napoleon, the slave trade piracy, the American Civil War-General Gordon Meade, the hero of Gettysburg, was born in this town-the Spanish Civil War, and today's reality. Representative of this is "The Poppy Flower." This ancient tale revisits the time of the Spanish Inquisition. A young man becomes obsessed with the ghost of a woman that he has seen in his new apartment. Through a roll of parchment that he has unburied in his bedroom, he learns her identity and of her death at the stake. The discovery leads him to national archives, where he brings to light the record of her trial. A fight to reverse the unjust verdict ensues. Another, The Man in a Blue Tunic, goes back to ancient Cadiz, when only Rome surpassed its grandeur. On a solitary beach on the outskirts of town, a young jogger finds a stranded man who greets him in Latin. On their walk downtown, the stranger describes Roman Cadiz-the city of Gades-in great detail. Under a dragon tree, he points to the area where his home stood twenty centuries ago. Incredulous, the young man listens to him. What transpires in the following 24 hours will have an everlasting impact on him and his fellow citizens. A third, a contemporary short story- The Archangel's Torn Wing-occurs at the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War when Cadiz falls into the fascists' hands. A young man rushes home to join his girlfriend. The young couple sees their blissful future cut off by the events taking place. As hours pass, dangers lurk nearby. He hides from his enemies, but in the end, comes out of his shelter and fights for his survival. The rest of the stories are a box of surprises. One returns to Muslim times when a Christian youngster falls in love with the vizier's daughter. Another beams the reader back to the early nineteenth century-when Cadiz, became the most important center of commerce between the old and the new continent. Other tales recount the moving relationship between a lonely old man and his adopted stray dog, the fate of a bequeathed ruby ring that changed the life of its new owner. Throughout the narrative a compelling portrait of the town and its people unfolds, depicting their daily life and celebrations such as carnival, bullfights, and Holy Week. Francisco Aragon-director of Letras Latinas at the University of Notre Dame-writes in the introduction to this Latino fiction book, "I couldn't help but think of Tales from the Alhambra as I navigated these 'Tales from Cadiz.' Both use history to accentuate their stories, but neither is meant to be read as history. Like Irving, Villalba deploys good old-fashioned storytelling. And I use that term ('old fashioned') in a good sense: writing that relishes and delights in painting pictures with words-with contagious engagement, narrative skill."
