Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What ever happened to the legend of El Dorado, the tale of the mythical city of gold lost in the Amazon jungle? Charlotte Rogers argues that El Dorado has not been forgotten and still inspires the reckless pursuit of illusory wealth. The search for gold in South America during the colonial period inaugurated the "promise of El Dorado"—the belief that wealth and happiness can be found in the tropical forests of the Americas. That assumption has endured over the course of centuries, still evident in the various modes of natural resource extraction, such as oil drilling and mining, that characterize the region today. Mourning El Dorado looks at how fiction from the American tropics written since 1950 engages with the promise of El Dorado in the age of the Anthropocene. Just as the golden kingdom was never found, natural resource extraction has not produced wealth and happiness for the peoples of the tropics. While extractivism enriches a few outsiders, it results in environmental degradation and the subjugation, displacement, and forced assimilation of native peoples. This book considers how the fiction of five writers—Alejo Carpentier, Wilson Harris, Mario Vargas Llosa, Álvaro Mutis, and Milton Hatoum—criticizes extractive practices and mourns the lost illusion of the forest as a place of wealth and happiness.

Download or read book El Altar Dorado written by Michael Merry and published by Palibrio. This book was released on 2012 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En enero de 1671 el pirata Henry Morgan capturó y saqueó la Ciudad de Panamá. En un sorprendente hecho de armas cruzó el Istmo de Panamá y atacó la ciudad desde el este, algo que los estrategas militares en la actualidad consideran imposible. Morgan tomó un botín importante de Panamá pero le faltó el fabuloso Altar Dorado, un artefacto invalorable que los curas habían pintado con creosota para evitar que lo descubrieran. Esta obra cuenta en detalle la invasión de Morgan y su ira al descubrir lo que él y su banda de bucaneros habían dejado escapar. Prosigue relatando cómo un descendiente, el Mayor Henry Morgan, un oficial de la Armada Británica que había pasado por Panamá en su regreso de las guerra de las islas Faulklands, vuelve en 1985 para robarse el altar. Los sorprendentes detalles de sus preparativos para el robo, la fundición del oro y su posterior venta se explican minuciosamente en este libro. Las descripciones del ataque de Morgan en 1671 y de la Ciudad de Panamá en 1985 son precisas. Sin embargo, el inmaculado altar dorado permanece hoy en la iglesia de San José en la parte antigua de la ciudad. No está lejos del lugar donde se erigía el infame cuartel general de las Fuerzas de Defensa del General Manuel Antonio Noriega hasta 1989, fecha en que la invasión estadounidense destruyó el complejo y cambió la vida de Panamá para siempre.

Book excerpt: The search for gold and for the mythical El Dorado gripped the imagination of the conquistadors from the beginning of the sixteenth century. Crossing over the Andes, they explored the unknown eastern forests and jungles, launching expeditions that were often disastrous and always disappointing. As the range of exploration expanded, El Dorado retreated, always just beyond the horizon. The last goal of these explorations was the land of the Mojos, a land located in the upper Amazon basin and which lies many months of the year submerged under water. It is a mysterious land and, as legend had it, inhabited by a people rich in gold and precious stones. Yet all the Spaniards found – as narrated in these compelling pages – was a limitless swamp, sparsely inhabited by a small number of people and so ill suited to usual system of productive forced labor. It was the Jesuits instead who established here a network of missions second in size and population only to that or Paraguay and so went in search of souls rather than gold.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spanish filmmaker Carlos Saura, who began his career under the censorship of Franco's regime, has forged an international reputation for his unique cinematic treatment of emotional and spiritual responses to repressive political conditions. In films such as Carmen and El Dorado, where reality and fantasy are deliberately fused together, Saura reveals the illusions of Franco's mythologized Spain--a chaste, Catholic, and heroic Spain of the Golden Age--that tend to isolate Spaniards from the rest of Europe, from each other, and from their own individuality. In this first English-language book on Saura, Marvin D'Lugo looks at the social and artistic forces behind this film auteur's highly personal cinema. Tracing Saura's career over three decades, D'Lugo discusses each work from Hooligans (1959), a realist film about a Madrid street-gang member trying to become a bullfighter, to The Dark Night (1989), a film dealing with the persecution of the religious reformer St. John of the Cross in the late sixteenth century. Throughout he argues that Saura's cinematic style results from a highly original response to the political and historical constraints of Spanish culture. D'Lugo shows how in order to explore the complex cultural politics of "Spanishness" as it was institutionalized under Franco, Saura frames his narrations through the eyes of characters who question the forces that shape personal and collective identity. Moving beyond the limits of traditional auteur studies, this book addresses the relationship between the filmmaker and the cultural ideology that historically has thwarted and manipulated the expressions of individuality in Spanish society.
