Book excerpt: Helena Paz Garro, escritora e hija de dos destacadas figuras de la literatura mexicana, Elena Garro y Octavio Paz, comparte aquí el relato detallado de su vida familiar y cultural, marcada por episodios tan definitivos como polémicos. Publicado originalmente en 2003, el libro autobiográfico Memorias, de Helena Paz Garro, dividió opiniones entre los lectores y colocó en la agenda cultural del momento el pasado íntimo de la familia Paz Garro, así como su relación -social o secreta- con personajes como Adolfo Bioy Casares, Silvina Ocampo, Julio Cortázar, Carlos Fuentes, Aristóteles Onassis, María Callas, Pablo Picasso, David Alfaro Siqueiros, Luis Buñuel, Salvador Dalí, María Zambrano y Juan de la Cabada, entre otros. Escritas con la pericia de una narradora oficiosa, con entraña y corazón, estas memorias de orden imprevisible nos contagian la dicha y el dolor de una mujer que sobrellevó la continua sensación de soledad.

This book was released on 2019-01-29 with total page 2220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Autobiographical writings have been a major cultural genre from antiquity to the present time. General questions of the literary as, e.g., the relation between literature and reality, truth and fiction, the dependency of author, narrator, and figure, or issues of individual and cultural styles etc., can be studied preeminently in the autobiographical genre. Yet, the tradition of life-writing has, in the course of literary history, developed manifold types and forms. Especially in the globalized age, where the media and other technological / cultural factors contribute to a rapid transformation of lifestyles, autobiographical writing has maintained, even enhanced, its popularity and importance. By conceiving autobiography in a wide sense that includes memoirs, diaries, self-portraits and autofiction as well as media transformations of the genre, this three-volume handbook offers a comprehensive survey of theoretical approaches, systematic aspects, and historical developments in an international and interdisciplinary perspective. While autobiography is usually considered to be a European tradition, special emphasis is placed on the modes of self-representation in non-Western cultures and on inter- and transcultural perspectives of the genre. The individual contributions are closely interconnected by a system of cross-references. The handbook addresses scholars of cultural and literary studies, students as well as non-academic readers.

Book excerpt: *German Booksellers' Peace Prize 2023* La autobiografía del autor de Los versos satánicos desde el día en el que fue condenado a muerte por Jomeini por su publicación y tuvo que pasar a vivir en la clandestinidad bajo el nombre en clave de Joseph Anton. Este libro recoge los años decisivos de la vida de Salman Rushdie: desde el día en el que fue condenado a muerte por el ayatoláJomeini y tuvo que pasar a la clandestinidad bajo la identidad de Joseph Anton hasta la actualidad. Después de tantos años de aislamiento, Salman Rushdie afronta el relato de aquel período oscuro en el que vivió amenazado de muerte. Son numerosos los rumores e historias que se han escrito sobre ello, y en esta esperada autobiografía el novelista anglo-indio da su versión de lo ocurrido durante esa fatídica década. Rushdietuvo que cambiar radicalmente de vida después de 1988, año de publicación de Los versos satánicos. Dicha obra trajo consigo una fuerte polémica, desde la prohibición y quema del libro en los países musulmanes hasta graves disturbios tanto en Inglaterra como en Estados Unidos. El 14 de febrero de 1989, el ayatolá Jomeini proclamó una fatwa instando a la población musulmana a ejecutar a cualquier persona relacionada con la publicación del libro. Se llegó incluso a ofrecer una recompensa en efectivo por la muerte de Rushdie y muchos de los traductores del libro sufrieron intentos de asesinato en todo el mundo. Hitoshi Igarashi, el traductor de Los versos satánicos al japonés, fue asesinado en 1991. Joseph Anton recoge este período de miedo y frustración. La crítica ha dicho: «Puede que sea el libro más importante de nuestro tiempo, comparable, en cierto modo, a Si esto es un hombre, de Primo Levi.» The Spectator «Un testimonio desgarrador, profundamente sentido y revelador: un espejo autobiográfico de las grandes preocupaciones filosóficas que han animado la obra del Sr. Rushdie a lo largo de su carrera.» Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times «Salman Rushdie es un ejemplo de nuestra capacidad para construir libertad.» Ivabelle Arroyo, Letras Libres «Un libro que hace reír. Te hace simpatizar. Puede que incluso te asuste. Y, si crees que la libertad es esencial, también te enfadará muchísimo.» David Aaronovitch, The Times «Espléndido. Las mejores memorias que he leído en muchos años.» Jonathan Yardley, The Washington Post «Divertido, dolorosamente conmovedor y de lectura absolutamente necesaria.» Nicholas Shakespeare, The Daily Telegraph

Download or read book Aurora Bertrana written by Silvia Roig and published by Boydell & Brewer. This book was released on 2016 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Silvia Roig explores the narrative of Aurora Bertrana (1892-1974), an unknown writer today, but a successful and recognized female author in Catalonia and Spain during the 20th century. Aurora Bertrana's works are almost never mentioned in manuals of literature. Her rich, intellectual work has not received the attention it deserves, relegated almost to absolute oblivion. The author reviews and studies twenty-four of Bertrana's novels written in Catalan andSpanish, including: Ariatea (1960), El pomell de les violes (MS), L'inefable Philip (MS), La aldea sin hombres (mn.), La madrecita de los cerdos (MS), Entre dos silencis (1958), La ninfa d'argila (1959), Fracàs (1966) and La ciutat dels joves: reportatge fantasia (1971). She studies her work, published and unpublished, from a feminist approach, taking into account the intellectual history of Spain and Catalonia. Bertana's strong commitment to social issues reveals her association with the Modernist and Noucentists trends of her time. Bertrana's novels reveal a unique interest in non-Western cultures and lifestyles and her work undertakes controversial topics and socio-cultural issues, while she observes and draws special attention to the situation of women in different circumstances and cultural geographies. This book is therefore anchored on interpretive and theoretical parameters that intersect with consideration of gender, such as travel-and-gender and war-and-gender. Roig uses the work of feminists such as Simone De Beauvoir, Shulamith Firestone, Jelke Boesten, Margaret and Patrice Higonnet, Michelle Zimbalist Rosaldo and Julia Kristeva to help assess Bertrana's engagement with gender and socio-political issues. This approach is particularly well suited for a writer like Bertrana, a Catalan and Republican intellectual woman forced into self-exile during the Spanish Civil War and the dictatorship of Francisco Franco. Silvia Roig is a Faculty Member, BMCC Department of Modern Languages, The City University of New York.

Book excerpt: Escrito logo depois da morte de sua filha Paula, vítima de uma doença rara, este livro de memórias é o mais comovente e íntimo de todos os trabalhos de Isabel Allende. Em 1991, a filha de Isabel Allende, Paula, ficou gravemente doente e foi internada em um hospital na Espanha. A escritora acompanhou o sofrimento de Paula durante meses, em coma provocado por uma doença rara. Ao lado do leito da filha inconsciente, Isabel fez anotações em um caderno, escrevendo coisas com o intuito de lembrar a Paula quem ela era e de onde vinha, imaginando que Paula, ao despertar, poderia ter perdido a memória. A história que Isabel Allende escreve não é somente a sua: é a de sua família, a de seu país, a da América Latina de meados do século 20. De ancestrais bizarros a lembranças da infância; de peripécias da juventude aos anos de chumbo no Chile em plena ditadura militar. Paula morreu em 6 de dezembro de 1992. No dia 8 de janeiro de 1993, Isabel Allende pegou o material contido nesse caderno, além das 108 cartas que havia trocado com Panchita, sua mãe, no decorrer do ano anterior, releu tudo e foi colocando em ordem cronológica o que havia acontecido. Ao perceber que a morte tinha sido mesmo a única saída para a filha, ela foi organizando em sua cabeça e em seu coração tudo o que havia acontecido. Ao colocar isso no papel, Paula foi ressurgindo viva. Em Paula, Isabel Allende nos faz rir, chorar, se emocionar, se aterrorizar e celebra a vida com a coragem de uma mulher que soube dar a volta por cima

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amid the flurry of debates about immigration, poverty, and education in the United States, the stories in Mi Voz, Mi Vida allow us to reflect on how young people who might be most affected by the results of these debates actually navigate through American society. The fifteen Latino college students who tell their stories in this book come from a variety of socioeconomic, regional, and family backgrounds—they are young men and women of Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Dominican, Central American, and South American descent. Their insights are both balanced and frank, blending personal, anecdotal, political, and cultural viewpoints. Their engaging stories detail the students' personal struggles with issues such as identity and biculturalism, family dynamics, religion, poverty, stereotypes, and the value of education. Throughout, they provide insights into issues of racial identity in contemporary America among a minority population that is very much in the news. This book gives educators, students, and their families a clear view of the experience of Latino students adapting to a challenging educational environment and a cultural context—Dartmouth College—often very different from their childhood ones.

Download or read book Spanish Golden Age Autobiography in Its Context written by Rainer H. Goetz and published by Peter Lang Incorporated, International Academic Publishers. This book was released on 1994 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Spanish Golden Age saw an unprecedented rise in the production of autobiographical works. Even more so than present-day autobiographies, early modern manifestations of this genre are topics of lively debate, particularly about their generic affiliation and their unique place in literature. As a necessary basis for approaching these questions, this book retrieves and re-evaluates the antecedents of Golden Age autobiography and analyzes its literary and cultural facilitators. With the precepts of genre established, this work proposes new perspectives on the nexus of autobiographical and fictional literature of the Siglo de Oro.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “El punto de vista de María es poderoso y vital. Hace años, cuando In the Heights empezaba a presentarse en teatros off-Broadway, María corrió la voz en nuestra comunidad para que apoyáramos este nuevo musical que trataba sobre nuestros vecindarios. Ella ha sido una campeona de nuestros triunfos, una crítica de nuestros detractores y una fuerza clave para enfrentar y corregir los errores de nuestra sociedad. Cuando María habla, estoy listo para escuchar y aprender de ella.” —Lin-Manuel Miranda La periodista ganadora de cuatro premios Emmy y presentadora de Latino USA de NPR, María Hinojosa, cuenta la historia de la inmigración en los Estados Unidos a través de las experiencias de su familia y décadas de hacer reportajes, con lo cual crea un riguroso retrato de un país en crisis. María Hinojosa es una periodista galardonada que ha colaborado con las cadenas más respetadas y se ha distinguido por realizar reportajes con un toque humano. En estas memorias escritas con gran belleza, nos relata la historia de la política de inmigración de los EE.UU. que nos ha llevado al punto en que estamos hoy, al mismo tiempo que nos comparte su historia profundamente personal. Durante treinta años, María Hinojosa ha informado sobre historias y comunidades en los Estados Unidos que a menudo son ignoradas por los principales medios de comunicación. La autora de bestsellers Julia Álvarez la ha llamado “una de las líderes culturales más importantes, respetadas y queridas de la comunidad Latinx”. En Una vez fui tú, María nos comparte su experiencia personal de haber crecido como mexicanoamericana en el sur de Chicago y documentar el páramo existencial de los campos de detención de inmigrantes para los medios de comunicación que a menudo cuestionaban su trabajo. En estas páginas, María ofrece un relato personal y revelador de cómo la retórica en torno a la inmigración no solo ha influido en las actitudes de los estadounidenses hacia los extranjeros, sino que también ha permitido la negligencia intencional y el lucro a expensas de las poblaciones más vulnerables de nuestro país, lo que ha propiciado el sistema resquebrajado que tenemos hoy en día. Estas memorias honestas y estremecedoras crean un vívido retrato de cómo llegamos aquí y lo que significa ser una superviviente, una feminista, una ciudadana y una periodista que hace valer su propia voz mientras lucha por la verdad. Una vez fui tú es un llamado urgente a los compatriotas estadounidenses para que abran los ojos a la crisis de la inmigración y entiendan que nos afecta a todos. También disponible en inglés como Once I Was You.

Download or read book Autobiografía written by Gertrudis Gómez de Avellaneda y Arteaga and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 1993 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eleven years before Uncle Tom's Cabin fanned the fires of abolition in North America, an aristocratic Cuban woman told an impassioned story of the fatal love of a mulatto slave for his white owner's daughter. So controversial was Sab's theme of miscegenation and its parallel between the powerlessness and enslavement of blacks and the economic and matrimonial subservience of women that the book was not published in Cuba until 1914, seventy-three years after its original 1841 publication in Spain. Also included in the volume is Avellaneda's Autobiography (1839), whose portrait of an intelligent, flamboyant woman struggling against the restrictions of her era amplifies the novel's exploration of the patriarchal oppression of minorities and women.
