Book Synopsis Días de lluvia by : Montserrat Lunati
Download or read book Días de lluvia written by Montserrat Lunati and published by Aris and Phillips Hispanic Cla. This book was released on 2018 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Writers, publishers, readers and scholars have stopped apologising for the short story: the genre is no longer a bad investment, a trial-exercise for a novel or a minor entertainment, as demonstrated by exceptional writers with an almost exclusive dedication to it, such as Jorge Luis Borges, Alice Munro, Quim Monzâo or Cristina Fernâandez Cubas. With deep roots in classic and medieval literatures, and great achievements in the nineteenth- and twentieth-centuries, the genre of the short story, which benefits from the linguistic tightness of poetry and the narrative comforts of the novel, has finally been recognised as having a (hybrid) identity of its own. This volume re-edits and expands a previous bilingual collection published in 1997. The first edition included stories by twelve writers: Pilar Cibreiro, Cristina Fernâandez Cubas, Paloma Dâiaz-Mas, Adelaida Garcâia Morales, Lourdes Ortiz, Laura Freixas, Marina Mayoral, Mercedes Abad, Rosa Montero, Maruja Torres, Soledad Puâertolas and Marâia Eugenia Salaverri. The present edition adds another four: Nuria Amat, Juana Salabert, Luisa Castro and Berta Marsâe. The stories gathered in this second edition were written between 1980 and 2010, and testify to the richness and vitality of women’s writing in contemporary Spain. With the original texts in Spanish as well as facing-page English translations, an Introduction, notes, and bio-bibliographical information on each author, this volume is a useful tool for students of the Spanish language and culture at all levels. It includes a selection of secondary reading on Spanish women writers and a selection of anthologies of Spanish short stories since 1997"--

Book Synopsis Collapse, Catastrophe and Rediscovery by : Jennifer Brady
Download or read book Collapse, Catastrophe and Rediscovery written by Jennifer Brady and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2014-06-02 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After nearly forty years of dictatorship and an abrupt transition to democracy in the twentieth century, Spain is now in a moment of great rediscovery. The Peninsular country’s precarious past, paired with its current situation of economic crisis (currently Spain has one of the highest unemployment rates in the Eurozone) and movements to recover languages, literatures and cultures other than Spanish, creates a country where artists, authors and directors are exploring existential and social issues in new and revitalized ways. The chapters included in Collapse, Catastrophe, and Rediscovery: Spain’s Cultural Panorama in the Twenty First Century explore filmic, literary and cultural representations of modern-day Spain, and the contributing authors offer insight into how the past has affected the country’s artistic and literary production of today and how film and literature dialogue with the social and economic situation of Spain in the late twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Anchored to current cultural and social trends, this collection presents a variety of perspectives and a wide range of analyses of some of the most pertinent contemporary Spanish texts and films with the goal of expanding conceptualizations of the cultural panorama of Spain today.
Book Synopsis History, Violence, and the Hyperreal by : Kathryn Everly
Download or read book History, Violence, and the Hyperreal written by Kathryn Everly and published by Purdue University Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does literature reveal about a country's changing cultural identity? In History, Violence, and the Hyperreal by Kathryn Everly, this question is applied to the contemporary novel in Spain. In the process, similarities emerge among novels that embrace apparent differences in style, structure, and language. Contemporary Spanish authors are rethinking the way the novel with its narrative powers can define a specific cultural identity. Recent Spanish novels by Carme Riera, Dulce Chacon, Javier Cercas, Ray Loriga, Lucia Etxebarria, and Jose Angel Manas (published from 1995 to 2008) particularly highlight the tension that exists between historical memory and urban youth culture. The novels discussed in this study reconfigure the individual's relationship to narrative, history, and reality through their varied interpretations of Spanish history with its common threads of national and personal violence. In these books, culture acts as mediator between the individual and the rapidly changing dynamic of contemporary society. The authors experiment with the novel form to challenge fundamental concepts of identity when the narrative acknowledges more than one way of reading and understanding history, violence, and reality. In Spain today, questions of historical accuracy in all foundational fictions--such as the Inquisition, the Spanish Civil War, or globalization--collide with the urgency to modernize. The result is a clash between regional and global identities. Seemingly disparate works of historical fiction and Generation X narrative prove similar in the way they deal with history, reality, and the delicate relationship between writer and reader.

Book Synopsis Tradition and Modernity by : Idoya Puig
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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: «¿Cómo definiría usted el cuento? Digamos que como un retazo de vida humana con el que me encuentro, y en el que me siento involucrado. Lo que he visto que ocurre y lo que oigo me acontece a mí también. Si lo cuento como debe ser, a quien lo lea debe ocurrirle lo mismo». Así comienzan estas conversaciones con José Jiménez Lozano, una figura única y diferente en el panorama de la gran literatura española contemporánea. Para el autor su tarea es sólo una: contar historias que muestren las llagas y los colores del mundo. Por estas y otras razones merece la pena entrar en los mundos levantados por Jiménez Lozano. Estas páginas son un intento de hacerlo de su mano.

Download or read book La traducción de literatura árabe contemporánea written by Gonzalo Fernández Parrilla and published by Univ de Castilla La Mancha. This book was released on 2000 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Esta obra propone una reflexión sobre el impacto que en la recepción de la literatura árabe contemporánea en Europa tuvo la concesión en 1988 del Premio Nobel de Literatura a un autor en lengua árabe: Naguib Mahfuz. El Nobel a Mahfuz activó el interés de las editoriales, que buscaron el contacto con especialistas y traductores, y provocó un aumento de las traducciones de literatura árabe contemporánea. Pero, ¿se trataba simplemente de un fenómeno coyuntural ligado al premio, o se había canalizado realmente el interés hacia una lengua y cultura tan próximas geográficamente como desconocidas en el viejo continente? ¿Podíamos hablar de una recepción europea de la literatura árabe contemporánea, o quizás era más conveniente referirse a recepciones nacionales en cada uno de los países en función de contextos particulares? ¿Había sido valorada esta literatura en los medios periodísticos europeos por su calidad, por contener unas señas de identidad incuestionables y por ofrecer una dimensión estética o creadora propias, o seguía siendo acogida sólo como expresión de hábitos y conductas diferentes, a favor o en contra de la liberación de la mujer o del extremismo religioso, desde la óptica narrativa de ’Las mil y una noches’, o fuera de ella? Transcurrida una década del Nobel 1988, por primera vez en la historia a un escritor en lengua árabe, la Escuela de Traductores de Toledo consideró que era un buen momento para hacer un primer balance sobre la recepción de la literatura árabe contemporánea en Europa. Estas páginas recogen las respuestas que traductores, profesores, narradores y editores de diferentes países de la cuenca mediterránea ofrecieron durante el coloquio que bajo el mismo título se celebró en la Escuela de Traductores de Toledo del 29 al 31 de octubre de 1998, gracias al apoyo de la Fundación Europea de la Cultura, en el marco del Observatorio Permanente sobre la Traducción del Árabe.

Download or read book Littoral of the Letter written by Gabriel Riera and published by Bucknell University Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Littoral of the Letter is the first full-fledged study in English of the work of the late Argentine author Juan Jose Saer (1937-2005), who was highly regarded as Argentina's best living novelist, a continuator of Burgess' literary legacy. Characterized by an uncommon coherence and rigor, Juan Jose Saer's writing defies simple categories. In both his fictional and essayistic writing, Saer defamiliarizes the reader by questioning some of his most cherished certainties, especially those having to do with the role ascribed to Latin American literature, the uses of prose and poetry in the present, and the relation between language and the mass media. By questioning the assimilation of prose theory and the novel theory dictated by pragmatic needs of the state and the market, Saer produces a change in the function of narrative language that allows him to start where more traditional forms of realism end: the unsayable. The purpose of the book is to make explicit Saer's procedures, the main coordinates of his poetics and to reflect on the situation of literature in an age dominated by images and the total cultural phenomenon.
