Download or read book Juan de la Rosa written by Nataniel Aguirre and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1999-04-29 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long considered a classic in Bolivia, Juan de la Rosa tells the story of a young boy's coming of age during the violent and tumultuous years of Bolivia's struggle for independence. Indeed, in this remarkable novel, Juan's search for his personal identity functions as an allegory of Bolivia's search for its identity as a nation. Set in the early 1800s, the novel is narrated by one of the last surviving Bolivian rebels, octogenarian Juan de la Rosa. Juan recreates his childhood in the rebellious town of Cochabamba, and with it a large cast of full bodied, Dickensian characters both heroic and malevolent. The larger cultural dislocations brought about by Bolivia's political upheaval are echoed in those experienced by Juan, whose mother's untimely death sets off a chain of unpredictable events that propel him into the fiery crucible of the South American Independence Movement. Outraged by Juan's outspokenness against Spanish rule and his awakening political consciousness, his loyalist guardians banish him to the countryside, where he witnesses firsthand the Spaniards' violent repression and rebels' valiant resistance that crystallize both his personal destiny and that of his country. In Sergio Gabriel Waisman's fluid translation, English readers have access to Juan de la Rosa for the very first time.

Download or read book The Complete Posthumous Poetry written by César Vallejo and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1980-09-29 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Translation judges for the National Book Awards--Richard Miller, Alastair Reid, Eliot Weinberger--cited Clayton Eshleman and Jose Rubia Barcia's translation of Cesar Vallejo's The Complete Posthumous Poetry as follows: "This, the first National Book Award to be given to a translation of modern poetry, is a recognition of Clayton Eshleman's seventeen-year apprenticeship to perhaps the most difficult poetry in the Spanish language. Eshleman and his present collaborator, Jose Rubia Barcia, have not only rendered these complex poems into brilliant and living English, but have also established a definitive Spanish test based on Vallejo's densely rewritten manuscripts. In recreating this modern master in English, they have also made a considerable addition to poetry in our language."

Download or read book Conceptos Del Amor de Dios written by Santa Teresa De Jesús and published by . This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Santa Teresa de Jes�s o de �vila (Espa�a 1515-1582), monja fundadora de la Orden de las Carmelitas Descalzas es considerada una de las grandes m�sticas de su tiempo, escribi� con gran espontaneidad su experiencia personal en sus escritos, cartas, poes�as. Por cuatro razones las personas espirituales suelen escribir los buenos conceptos, pensamientos, deseos, visiones, revelaciones y otras gracias interiores que Dios les comunica en la oraci�n. La primera, porque cantan eternamente las misericordias del Se�or, dej�ndolas escritas, para que se lean en el futuro, a fin de que el Se�or sea m�s glorificado y ensalzado. La segunda, para refrescarles en su memoria aquellas gracias, la tercera porque la caridad les fuerza a sacar la luz y talentos que les ha sido otorgados por Dios a trav�s de la oraci�n para otros, y finalmente, por obediencia a sus confesores, aunque su humildad querr�a callarlos. Esto �ltimo acaeci� a Santa Teresa que por obediencia a sus confesores quiso "cantar eternamente las misericordias del Se�or", y para provecho de su alma y de las sus hijas espirituales, ha escrito libros de lo que ha recibido en su esp�ritu. Entre estos libros est� "Conceptos del Amor de Dios", que comprende conceptos divinos y pensamientos del amor de Dios y de la oraci�n y otras virtudes heroicas, en que se declaraban muchas palabras de los Cantares de Salom�n. Posee doctrina importante, y no es una declaraci�n sobre los Cantares, sino conceptos de esp�ritu, que Dios le daba, encerrados en algunas palabras de los Cantares.

Download or read book Writing Across Cultures written by Angel Rama and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2012-05-29 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ángel Rama was one of twentieth-century Latin America's most distinguished men of letters. Writing across Cultures is his comprehensive analysis of the varied sources of Latin American literature. Originally published in 1982, the book links Rama's work on Spanish American modernism with his arguments about the innovative nature of regionalist literature, and it foregrounds his thinking about the close relationship between literary movements, such as modernism or regionalism, and global trends in social and economic development. In Writing across Cultures, Rama extends the Cuban anthropologist Fernando Ortiz's theory of transculturation far beyond Cuba, bringing it to bear on regional cultures across Latin America, where new cultural arrangements have been forming among indigenous, African, and European societies for the better part of five centuries. Rama applies this concept to the work of the Peruvian novelist, poet, and anthropologist José María Arguedas, whose writing drew on both Spanish and Quechua, Peru's two major languages and, by extension, cultures. Rama considered Arguedas's novel Los ríos profundos (Deep Rivers) to be the most accomplished example of narrative transculturation in Latin America. Writing across Cultures is the second of Rama's books to be translated into English.
