Book Synopsis Mistral in Catalonia by : Antoni Rossell
Download or read book Mistral in Catalonia written by Antoni Rossell and published by ohDigital. This book was released on 2020-02-04 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication, coordinated by Dr. Antoni Rossell and Dr. Hélène Rufat, presents the figure of Frédéric Mistral, Nobel laureate in Literature (1904), leader in the rehabilitation of the Occitan language and beating heart of relations with the Catalan intellectual world. His rôle was fundamental for the cultural milieu of Catalonia, a fact reflected in the wide range of written testimonials preserved in Catalan institutions. This book provides a taste of the rich documentation available in the Biblioteca de Catalunya in Barcelona and the Biblioteca Museu Víctor Balaguer in Vilanova i la Geltrú. The book contains interviews with specialists in the field who provide a multifaceted vision of Mistral; among them, Jaume Figueras i Trull, Manuel Jorba, Ramon Panyella, Montserrat Comas, August Rafanell, Vinyet Panyella and Lluïsa Julià. The volume encompasses musical performances by the group Mirabèl, alongside readings of texts and poems by Carlos Heusch, Ramon Panyella, August Rafanell, Rafèu Sichel-Bazin, Jaume Figueras I Trull, Jaume Clarà and Margalida Tomàs. The book concludes with an extensive bibliography and a list of digital resources that contribute to research and understanding of the Mistralian œuvre within the Catalan context.
Book Synopsis Gabriela Mistral's Letters to Doris Dana by : Velma García-Gorena
Download or read book Gabriela Mistral's Letters to Doris Dana written by Velma García-Gorena and published by University of New Mexico Press. This book was released on 2018-06-15 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Nobel Prize–winning poet Gabriela Mistral is celebrated by her native Chile as the “mother of the nation” even though she spent most of her life in Mexico, Europe, and the United States. Throughout the Spanish-speaking world and especially in Chile, Mistral was characterized as a sad, traditionally Catholic spinster. Yet her voluminous correspondence with Doris Dana, long believed to be her secretary, reveals that the two women were lovers from 1948 until Mistral’s death in 1957. These letters, published in Spanish in 2010 and now translated for the first time into English, provide insight into her work as a poet and illuminate her perspectives on politics, especially war and human rights. The correspondence also sheds light on the poet’s personal life and corrects the long-standing misperceptions of her as a lonely, single, heterosexual woman.
Book Synopsis On the Edge of the Holocaust by : Edna Aizenberg
Download or read book On the Edge of the Holocaust written by Edna Aizenberg and published by Brandeis University Press. This book was released on 2015-11-22 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this bold study, Edna Aizenberg offers a much-needed corrective to both Latin American literary scholarship and popular assumptions that the whole of Latin America served as a Nazi refuge both during and after World War II. Analyzing the treatment of the Shoah by five leading figures in Argentine, Brazilian, and Chilean writing - Alberto Gerchunoff, Clarice Lispector, Jorge Luis Borges, Gabriela Mistral, and Joao Guimaraes Rosa - Aizenberg illuminates how Latin American intellectuals engaged with the horrific information that reached them regarding the Holocaust, including the sympathy and collaboration of their own governments with the Nazis. Aizenberg emphasizes how - through fiction, journalism, and activism - these five culture-makers opposed and fought fascism. At the same time, her readings of individual texts confront shopworn clichŽs about Latin American writing and literature, suggesting deeper and richer dimensions to many canonical works. This interdisciplinary book fills critical gaps in both Holocaust and Latin American studies, and will be of great interest to scholars and students in both fields.

Book Synopsis Déodat de Séverac by : RobertF. Waters
Download or read book Déodat de Séverac written by RobertF. Waters and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dat de Srac (1872-1921) is best known for his piano music but his compositions included orchestral and vocal works, including opera, cantata and incidental music. Claude Debussy described Srac's music as "exquisite and rich with ideas." The early works were influenced by Impressionist harmonies, church modes, cyclic techniques, folk-like melodies and Andalusian motives. Srac's style changed dramatically in 1907 when he left Paris and began to include Catalan elements in his compositions - a transition that has hitherto gone unrecognized. Robert Waters provides a much-needed study of the life and works of Srac, focusing on the composer's regionalist philosophy. Srac's engagement with folk music was not a patriotic gesture in the vein of nationalistic composers, but a way of expressing regional identity within France to counter the restrictive styles sanctioned by the Paris Conservatory. His musical philosophy mirrored larger social and political debates regarding anti-centralist positions on education, politics, art and culture in fin de sie France. Such debates involved political and social leaders whom Srac knew and personally admired, including the writer Maurice Barrand the poet Frric Mistral. The book will appeal to those specializing in French music, European ethnic musics, piano music and French music history.
Book Synopsis Gabriela Mistral's Struggle with God and Man by : Martin C. Taylor

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chilean poet, educator, diplomat, and feminist Gabriela Mistral (1889-1957) rose from poverty in the foothills of the Andes to become the first Latin American to win the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1945. This volume provides both a detailed biography of the author and a careful analysis of her writing. Chronicling the personal, psychological, and social currents of Mistral's life and times, it addresses such topics as her finances, illness, and sexuality. Literary analysis considers the sacred and secular influences on Mistral's oevre, including Catholicism, the Hebraic tradition, Theosophy, and Buddhism. By recounting Mistral's intelligence and perseverance in overcoming her life's obstacles to reach the pinnacle of her field, this book establishes her as a model for Chileans and for humanity.

Book Synopsis Ten Notable Women of Modern Latin America by : James D. Henderson
Download or read book Ten Notable Women of Modern Latin America written by James D. Henderson and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2023-10-27 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1930s rural Argentina, a determined fifteen-year-old left an isolated, poverty-stricken life to find her fortune in the “Paris of South America”—Buenos Aires. There, with few connections, little education, but plenty of persistence, Maria Eva Duarte gained a toehold in the city’s artistic scene. Eva—Evita—then navigated the radio revolution to fortune, providing for her mother and siblings along the way. She caught the eye of rising political star Colonel Juan Perón, and with him, she rode the pro-labor wave all the way to the presidential palace. The story of Eva Duarte Perón highlights not just her own extraordinary life, but the opportunities seized by women of all classes and backgrounds in post-independence modernizing Latin America. This work offers an alternate method for understanding modern Latin America and its history. The ten figures treated are ethnically mixed, of African, Indigenous, European, and mestiza heritage. They include figures from all social classes, geographic settings, and occupations seen in Latin America, and they acted over the entirety of the more than two centuries of the modern period. Through their stories, the reader comes away with a deeper understanding of this rich, diverse region.

Download or read book The Literature of Provence written by Daniel Vitaglione and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2000-01-01 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Annexed by France in 1481, Provence still retains its own distinct culture, traditions, and language. While many primarily French authors, like Emile Zola, have dabbled in Provencal literature, this book is dedicated to those whose lives and writing careers have been devoted to this temperate and beautiful land. Included are analyses of the important literary contributions of groups or schools, like the Troubadours and the Felibres; poets like Frederic Mistral and Henri Bosco; playwrights such as Marcel Pagnol; novelists like Alphonse Daudet; and more recent writers such as Marie Mauron and Jean-Claude Izzo. Photographs of many of the authors illustrate the text, which includes English translations of extracts, so that even readers unfamiliar with the language of Provence can enjoy its literature. This introduction is ideal both for those who have enjoyed the work of the featured authors before and for those who are yet to be exposed to the charms of Provencal.
