Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tales of the Spanish Main English ag oats on the waters, and English heretics profane the shores which God, so said the Pope, had given to the Spaniard. The English man, who cared something, after his fashion, for God, but not a jot for the Pope, entirely declined to acquiesce in this interpretation Of the divine decree. For many generations past the right Of mutual trade between England and the House of Burgundy had existed by treaties which had never been an nulled and as the Duchy of Burgundy, with the Netherlands, had been, since Charles the F ifth's accession, an appanage of the Spanish Crown, those treaties, our merchants argued, made them free also to trade with the Spanish colonies in America.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mortallone and Aunt Trinidad: Tales of the Spanish Main My father, Roger Handfast, was a Bristol man born, and kept a pewterer's shop on the old Bridge, now pulled down with the houses that lined it on either side of the causeway. He had married (somewhat late in life) Deborah Clipseby, a currier's daughter of the parish of St. Mary Redcliff; and I, Philip Handfast, was their only child. My parents set great store by me, and I dare say supposed - being passably well-to-do - that beyond their agreement nothing was needed to set me going on a fair path of life. My mother, whose family had once been gentle, and married in its time with the great houses of Courtenay and Crewe, procured that I should be taught at the best Grammar School in the City, and dreamed of my rising through Holy Orders to end as a Bishop.

Download or read book Spanish Tales written by Elijah Clarence Hills and published by . This book was released on 2016-06-22 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Spanish Tales: For Beginners In selecting these Spanish Tales for Beginners, three objects have been kept in view: (I) that they be good literature, (2) that they portray modern Spanish life, and (3) that they be interesting and not too difficult in language and thought. Some of the stories do not conform to all three rules, - the first two, for instance, do not portray modem Spanish life; but I hope that most of them will be found to conform fully. A few short lyric poems have also been included, since poetry forms an integral part of literature. Verse, moreover, is better for oral work and memorizing than prose. Spain has a rich and varied literature, from which other nations have freely drawn, - a literature that gives true expression to the life and aspirations of the Spanish people. The selections in this volume are taken from literary works that have been written in the past fifty or sixty years, and although they are inferior in some respects to the great master-pieces of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, I believe that they have literary excellence, and they have, besides, the advantage of being written in the language of today and of describing present-day life. It is my greatest wish that this volume may awaken the students' interest in the civilization of Spain, and that it may serve as an introduction to the study of Spanish literature.

Download or read book Spanish Legendary Tales Classic Reprint written by Sturgis Middlemore and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-16 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Spanish Legendary Tales The mere fact that they exist in vast numbers, and that many of them bear upon the same subject, renders it necessary that, if they are to be remembered at all, they must be remembered with verbal accuracy; otherwise they would in a short time become hope lessly confused one with another. One of the most popular subjects of Spanish folk-lore is the Christ of the Vega. I have myself heard at least a dozen legends turning on this theme; and many more versions must certainly exist. It would be impossible to keep these various stories apart in the popular memory, unless they had become, so to speak, stereo typed. And this.is the case with the majority of Spanish prose legends. They have assumed, in the course of time, a fixed and traditional shape, in their words no less than in their subjects. It is a truism that the memory of those who cannot read or write is, on the average, stronger than that of 'those who have had a literary education. When once education is diffused among the masses of the Spanish people, those legends which have not been committed to writing will be gradually lost. The new interests which education brings with it will also weaken among the people those tastes to which tales of the marvellous appeal. But this time seems still to be distant in Spain..

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tales From the Lands of Nuts and Grapes: Spanish and Portuguese Folklore I Firmly believe that the following tales have never seen the light of publicity. They are the folklore of Spain and Portugal. Since the day when Hernando del Castillo, in 1511, published some of the romances of Spanish chivalry collected from the people, various works have appeared at different times, adding to the already rich store from that inexhaustible mine of song and story. But, unfortunately for those who appreciate originality in a people, it was discovered that Boccaccio had been most unceremoniously plagiarized, and, what was still worse, that his defects had not been avoided.
