Download or read book Quechua de Huar s en Espa ol e Ingl s Glosario written by Menandra Mosquera and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-11-30 with total page 678 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This glossary has been prepared in order to leave a record of the Quechua spoken by the people of Huarás and surrounding areas in the mid-20th century. Huarás, capital of the Region (Department) of Ancash, Peru, has a distinct form of Quechua. That dialect was endangered due to a massive earthquake on May 31, 1970. Tens of thousands of people died, and the city was destroyed. Many of the survivors left the area. Once rebuilt, Huarás was repopulated with people new to the area who use Spanish or a different dialect to communicate. Since then, technological influences such as the Internet also reinforce the use of Spanish, to the detriment of the local Quechua. Born in Huarás, I was raised in a bilingual environment, Spanish and Quechua. Although I left the area to attend the university, I could always feel at home upon returning, until that earthquake. Since then it seems strange to return to an unfamiliar city, due to people, language and environment. I hope this glossary will help the newer generations better understand, not only their grandparents and ancestors, but the culture from which they come. Language and culture are intimately tied, and much more than words is lost when a language dies. The Inca Empire (Tahuantinsuyo) was invaded by Spain in 1532. At that time Quechua was spoken, never written, throughout the Inca civilization, with many dialects. Since then, the Spanish language has been imposed, but in Huarás never did it replace Quechua to the extent that it did in 1970. This glossary contains words, several verb forms, and phrases. It is written with the expectation that it may help to preserve the inherited Quechua, so that Huarás may remain bilingual. It is written for huarasinos, the people of Huarás. If others find it useful, better yet. The glossary is in Quechua. To facilitate access to the Quechua, indices in Spanish and in English are included. M. Mosquera

Download or read book Todos mis padres Saga completa written by Daniel Arias and published by Guid Publicaciones. This book was released on 2019-07-21 with total page 1506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Todos mis padres’ es una saga que relata los amores de la esclava fugitiva Akukéiohn y el aventurero adolescente Rómulo Vilches. Akukéiohn y Rómulo son dos parias que intentan hacer una familia y criar un hijo en medio de la fiebre del oro de Tierra del Fuego, allá por 1886, en la Argentina. Todos mis padres es una novela repleta de otras novelas, algunas casi independientes. Los devenires de Akukéiohn, RómuloVilches y su hijo (y de todos los padres de ese hijo) desaparecen y reaparecen en la proliferación de historias de predicadores, guerreros, gauchos, oligarcas, revolucionarios, chamanes, hampones y médicos. La saga exige un lector que se someta a perderse en el laberinto, llevado a tumbos de la mano de un narrador experto, a cambio de la promesa de un final donde todas las piezas se reencuentren con una precisión de relojería. Esa esperanza, asombrosamente, se cumple. Lector, bienvenido a una maquinaria narrativa como ya no se hacen.
Download or read book Sin Trompo de Poner written by Paul Paniagua and published by Palibrio. This book was released on 2011-12 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sin Trompo de Poner es un libro original que atrapa al lector... Desde el título, Paul Paniagua nos penetra en un espacio lúdico, inspirado en lo en los juegos de trompos. Para el autor, el texto es una metáfora de la vida... Estos textos hiperbreves no se pueden leer con el ceño fruncido, sino con una amplia sonrisa. El autor se inspira en la toalla del baño, a la que denuncia públicamente por ser infiel. Por otro lado, el inodoro sufre y acepta estoicamente su destino. Los textos de Paniagua indagan lo más simple de la humanidad, descubriendo misterios y mirando la vida con una óptica diferente. Así, los escritos de Paul Paniagua, subliman el espíritu, conquistan la alegría, y nos hacen ver la vida con humor y optimismo. Mara L. García.
Download or read book Bilingualism and Identity written by Mercedes Niño-Murcia and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2008-04-02 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sociolinguists have been pursuing connections between language and identity for several decades. But how are language and identity related in bilingualism and multilingualism? Mobilizing the most current methodology, this collection presents new research on language identity and bilingualism in three regions where Spanish coexists with other languages. The cases are Spanish-English contact in the United States, Spanish-indigenous language contact in Latin America, and Spanish-regional language contact in Spain. This is the first comparativist book to examine language and identity construction among bi- or multilingual speakers while keeping one of the languages constant. The sociolinguistic standing of Spanish varies among the three regions depending whether or not it is a language of prestige. Comparisons therefore afford a strong constructivist perspective on how linguistic ideologies affect bi/multilingual identity formation.

Book excerpt: Cualquier ser humano se ve expuesto a los efectos de las creencias familiares y a la disciplina impuesta por sus padres. Se podría decir que es "la ley de la vida". Los sufrimientos y las carencias no es lo único que lo limita, también ejercen poder los dictámenes de las religiones y la sociedad en general. La autora se apoya en la cualidad misteriosa y hasta mágica de la salamandra, como la fuerza de transformación que el ser humano utilizará en su búsqueda del conocimiento y la espiritualidad. El viaje personal podrá hacer uso del poder del fuego para convertir en cenizas todas sus aflicciones, esas que surgen del miedo, la ira o la tristeza. Ella comparte su jornada personal que, finalmente, le otorgó, a través de ese fuego purificador, la respuesta anhelada. Conocer el camino a la serenidad puede ser un regalo magnífico para aquel que abre su conciencia y decide que hay más, mucho más alrededor suyo.
Download or read book The Whole Island written by Mark Weiss and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2009-11-25 with total page 622 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cuba's cultural influence throughout the Western Hemisphere, and especially in the United States, has been disproportionally large for so small a country. This landmark volume is the first comprehensive overview of poetry written over the past sixty years. Presented in a beautiful Spanish-English en face edition, The Whole Island makes available the astonishing achievement of a wide range of Cuban poets, including such well-known figures as Nicolás Guillén, José Lezama Lima, and Nancy Morejón, but also poets widely read in Spanish who remain almost unknown to the English-speaking world—among them Fina García Marruz, José Kozer, Raúl Hernández Novás, and Ángel Escobar—and poets born since the Revolution, like Rogelio Saunders, Omar Pérez, Alessandra Molina, and Javier Marimón. The translations, almost all of them new, convey the intensity and beauty of the accompanying Spanish originals. With their work deeply rooted in Cuban culture, many of these poets—both on and off the island—have been at the center of the political and social changes of this tempestuous period. The poems offered here constitute an essential source for understanding the literature and culture of Cuba, its diaspora, and the Caribbean at large, and provide an unparalleled perspective on what it means to be Cuban.
Download or read book Equestrian Rebels written by Roberto Cantú and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2016-05-11 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mariano Azuela (Mexico, 1873–1952) was a medical doctor by profession, recipient of Mexico’s Premio Nacional de Literatura (1949), a distinguished member of El Colegio Nacional and, by mid-century, one of Mexico’s leading novelists and literary critics. The author of novels, novellas, plays, biographies, and literary criticism, Azuela served as field doctor under Francisco Villa during the Mexican Revolution and, after Villa’s military defeats in 1915, published Los de abajo (The Underdogs, 1915) while in exile in El Paso, Texas. This book of essays commemorates the first centenary of Los de abajo, and traces its impact on twentieth-century autobiographies, memoirs and, more specifically, on the Novel of the Mexican Revolution. Equestrian Rebels: Critical Perspectives on Mariano Azuela and the Novel of the Mexican Revolution includes a full-length introduction and nineteen essays by leading international scholars who study Azuela and other novelists of the Mexican Revolution – such as Martín Luis Guzmán, Nellie Campobello and, among others, José Rubén Romero – from current, yet contrasting and innovative theoretical perspectives. Especially written for this volume, these critical essays are grouped into five sections that separately probe and analyze Azuela’s realism and contemporary affinities with photography; Azuela’s literary criticism; centennial studies on Los de abajo; critical approaches to other novels by Azuela; three independent analyses of Nellie Campobello’s Cartucho (1931); and a concluding section on literary representations of Mexican colonialism and revolution in the narratives of Juan Rulfo (El llano en llamas), Carlos Fuentes (Gringo viejo), and David Toscana (El último lector). This book will be of importance to scholars, teachers, students, and the general reader interested in topics related to the literary, cultural, and political forces and conflicts that led to the transformation of Mexico into a modern nation.
