Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dicen los especialistas en Chesterton que nunca escribió novelas sino alegorías dramatizadas. Nos inclinamos a compartir esta opinión, que a fuer de familiarizarse con el simpático y complejo escritor inglés se vuelve una evidencia. El regreso de Don Quijote es una de esas alegorías poéticas.Me siento tentado de comenzar este comentario con una frase escandalosa, como para atraer la atención de los lectores. Algo así como: si Chesterton hubiera sido argentíno habría sido peronista. Voy a resistir la tentación. No es posible traspolar realidades tan diversas sin pagar las consecuencias.En esta difícil alegoría novelada del gran inglés, los personajes que reviven los ideales quijotescos son un aristócrata tarambana y un bibliotecario chiflado. Uno es el verdadero Quijote, el otro una especie de Sancho Panza en su mejor momento: el Sancho Panza gobernador.Y finalmente, quien encarna los justos reclamos del pueblo inglés y sin saberlo conduce a sus seguidores a postular un régimen social de inspiración medieval, es una sindicalista socialdemócrata.No puede ponderarse el gozo que produce la lectura de un autor que escribe con tal libertad de espíritu que haga no solo verosímil sino verdaderamente convincente un planteo argumental de esta índole. En Chesterton uno saborea la libertad intelectual (no la libertad de prensa, a la que ridiculiza con ferocidad) sino la libertad de pensamiento limitada por el sentido común y la realidad.Pensemos en un pueblo prejuicioso y atado a "tradiciones" y no tardaremos más que segundos en pensar en el pueblo inglés. O tal vez, mejor sería decir, en los ingleses.

Book La eugenesia y otras desgracias

Download or read book La eugenesia y otras desgracias written by Gilbert Keith Chesterton and published by Espuela de Plata. This book was released on 2012-11-29 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La eugenesia y otras desgracias recoge una serie de artículos escritos por Chesterton en torno a la aprobación de la Mental Deficiency Act de 1913, que limitaba los derechos y libertades de personas a quienes los «expertos», aplicando la selección natural darwiniana, clasificaban como «no aptas». Estas páginas suponen la resistencia intelectual del gran escritor inglés a la ideología eugenésica que se extendió por el mundo como un tsunami en la primera mitad del siglo XX. Con su sentido común característico, su alegre ironía y su profundo convencimiento de la dignidad humana, Chesterton desenmascara los sofismas utópicos de los eugenistas, deja al descubierto sus tretas de manipulación e ingeniería social y defiende al hombre real frente a quienes, invocando una supuesta ciencia y la mejora de la raza, querían -y quieren todavía- imponer la ley del más fuerte. A cien años de distancia, sus argumentos y razones no son sólo reflejo de su época, sino que, lejos de perder actualidad, parecen también casi proféticos de las oportunidades y los riesgos de nuestro tiempo. De La eugenesia y otras desgracias (1922) (Eugenics and Other Evils) los lectores de Chesterton en lengua española tenían poca o casi ninguna noticia, pues hasta la fecha solo se había publicado una traducción en Argentina en la década de los 60. De ahí el interés de esta nueva edición española ahora traducida por Aurora Rice y presentada con una extensa y documentada introducción de Salvador Antuñano. Se añade también un ensayo sobre la reforma social y la problemática del control de la natalidad que permanecía inédito en español y que Chesterton publicó separadamente en 1927. Gilbert Keith Chesterton (Londres, 1874-Beaconsfield, 1936). Una amplia parte de su tiempo y de su esfuerzo la dedicó a lo que para él era de suma importancia: la justicia social. Obras como Lo que está mal en el mundo o El perfil de la cordura recogen algunas de sus ideas políticas, económicas, culturales. En ellas aparecen también los principios de su filosofía aplicados a las situaciones concretas de la vida social. Y aunque no todos compartan la imagen de la realidad que allí expone, la mayoría suele apreciar su calidad como escritor, el esplendor de su ingenio, la hondura de sus ideas y su contundente sentido común. Y, por supuesto, todos encuentran en sus obras materia de reflexión, discusión y, como testimonia Borges, felicidad. La eugenesia y otras desgracias es una de estas obras. En el catálogo de Ediciones Espuela de Plata y Renacimiento pueden encontrarse una buena parte, además de una muy buena representación, de la obra de Chesterton. Entre ediciones de rescate, nuevas traducciones y libro inéditos en español sumamos ya una veintena de libros, entre los que destacan los siguientes: William Blake (2007, 2010), El color de España y otros ensayos (2007, 2009), Lectura y locura y otros ensayos imprescindibles (2008), Lo que vi en América (2009), Robert Browning (2010), Chaucer (2010), El hombre que fue Jueves (2010), La cosa y otros artículos de fe (2010) Enormes minucias (2010), Tipos diversos (2011), El acusado (2012).

Book The Cervanrean Heritage

Download or read book The Cervanrean Heritage written by J. A. Garrido Ardila and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-12-02 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Many critics regard Cervantes's Don Quixote as the most influential literary book on British literature. Indeed the impact on British authors was immense, as can be seen from 17th-century plays by Fletcher, Massinger and Beaumont, through the great 18th-century novels of Fielding, Smollett, Sterne, and Lennox, and on into more modern and contemporary novelists. 20th-century critics, fascinated by Cervantes, were moved to write what we now see as the classical works of Cervantes scholarship. Through their previous publications, the eminent contributors to this volume have helped to determine the reception of Cervantes in Britain. Together they now offer a comprehensive and innovative picture of this topic, discussing the English translations of Cervantes's works, the literary genres which developed under his shadow, and the best-known authors who consciously emulated him. Cervantes's influence upon British literature emerges as decidedly the deepest of any writer outside of English and, very possibly, of any writer since the Renaissance."

Book Tradition and Modernity

Download or read book Tradition and Modernity written by Idoya Puig and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2009 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Spanish Golden Age novelist Miguel de Cervantes has long cast a shadow over the writers who have followed in his wake. This book explores the great novelist's influence on contemporary Spanish writers. The links between the Golden Age tradition and contemporary writing are examined by leading academics in the field of the Spanish contemporary novel. The collection focuses on aspects of literary technique and metafiction, particularly the role of the narrator, the mixing of fictional and real characters, and self-reflection and literary criticism within the novel. These are all techniques that have recognisable Cervantine traits. Other parallels with Cervantes's writing are explored such as the portrayal of a hero with quixotic characteristics and the imitation of specific episodes from Cervantes's works.

Book El sol de Texas   Under the Texas Sun

Download or read book El sol de Texas Under the Texas Sun written by Conrado Espinoza and published by Arte Publico Press. This book was released on 2007-03-31 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "They had just crossed the bridge into the United States. Their feet were now firmly planted on the soil that was their promised land. They had made it! Blessed be the Virgin of Guadalupe! Now they had no reason to fear the villistas, the carrancistas, the government, or the revolutionaries! Here they could find peace, work, wealth and happiness!" And so begins the story of the Garcia family, who like many of their compatriots, fled their homeland during the upheaval of the Mexican Revolution in search of a better life in the United States. Originally published in 1926 in San Antonio, Texas as El sol de Texas, the novel chronicles the struggles of two Mexican immigrant families: the Garcias and the Quijanos. Their initial hopes--of returning to their homeland with enough money to buy their own piece of land--are worn away by the reality of immigrant life. Unable to speak English, they find themselves at the mercy of unscrupulous work contractors and foremen: forced to work at backbreaking labor picking cotton in the fields, building the burgeoning Southwest railroad system, and working in Gulf Coast oil refineries. Considered the first novel of Mexican immigration, El sol de Texas / Under the Texas Sun depicts the diverse experiences of Mexican immigrants, from those that return to Mexico beaten down by the discrimination and hardship they encounter, to those who persist in their adopted land in spite of the racism they face. The original Spanish-language text is accompanied by the first-ever English translation by Ethriam Cash Brammer and an introduction by John Pluecker. Publication of this fascinating historical novel will provide unique insight into the long history of Mexicanimmigration to the United States and its implications for cultural, historical, and literary studies.

Book Flamenco Music and National Identity in Spain

Download or read book Flamenco Music and National Identity in Spain written by William Washabaugh and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-15 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Flamenco Music and National Identity in Spain explores the efforts of the current government in southern Spain to establish flamenco music as a significant patrimonial symbol and marker of cultural identity. Further, it aims to demonstrate that these Andalusian efforts form part of the ambitious project of rethinking the nation-state of Spain, and of reconsidering the nature of national identity. A salient theme in this book is that the development of notions of style and identity are mediated by social institutions. Specifically, the book documents the development of flamenco's musical style by tracing the genre's development, between 1880 and 1980, and demonstrating the manner in which the now conventional characterization of the flamenco style was mediated by krausist, modernist, and journalist institutions. Just as importantly, it identifies two recent institutional forces, that of audio recording and cinema, that promote a concept of musical style that sharply contrasts with the conventional notion. By emphasizing the importance of forward-looking notions of style and identity, Flamenco Music and National Identity in Spain makes a strong case for advancing the Spanish experiment in nation-building, but also for re-thinking nationalism and cultural identity on a global scale.
