Book Synopsis José Lezama Lima's Joyful Vision by : Gustavo Pellón
Download or read book José Lezama Lima's Joyful Vision written by Gustavo Pellón and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 1989-10-01 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cuba’s José Lezama Lima became the most controversial figure in the flowering of the Latin American novel with the 1966 publication of Paradiso. Hailed as a seminal writer of breathtaking originality by Julio Cortázar, Octavio Paz, and Mario Vargas Llosa, Lezama was also attacked by the Castro regime and others for his stylistic obscurity, erotic descriptions, and violation of literary norms. Indeed, his experimental fiction, written on the very boundaries of the novelistic genre, resists classification. José Lezama Lima’s Joyful Vision, a much-needed critical study of Paradiso, Oppiano Licario, and Lezama’s essays, is thus an exploration in reading, one that highlights and preserves the essential and persistent contradictions in Lezama’s theory and practice of literature. Gustavo Pellón focuses his study on Lezama’s search for equilibrium, clarifying such oppositions in Lezama’s writings as the mystical quest for illumination through obscurity, the calculated cultivation of naïveté, the Proust-like fascination with yet ultimate condemnation of homosexuality, and a modernist (even postmodernist) narrative style that conveys a mystical (essentially medieval) worldview. Above all, Pellón shares his wonder at Lezama who, in an age of pessimism, maintained his joyful vision of art and existence.

Book Synopsis The Gypsy Caravan by : David Malvinni
Download or read book The Gypsy Caravan written by David Malvinni and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2004-05-01 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A formidable challenge to the study of Roma (Gypsy) music is the muddle of fact and fiction in determining identity. This book investigates "Gypsy music" as a marked and marketable exotic substance, and as a site of active cultural negotiation and appropriation between the real Roma and the idealized Gypsies of the Western imagination. David Malvinni studies specific composers-including Liszt, Brahms, Rachmaninov, Janacek, and Bartók-whose work takes up contested and varied configurations of Gypsy music. The music of these composers is considered alongside contemporary debates over popular music and film, as Malvinni argues that Gypsiness remains impervious to empirical revelations about the "real" Roma.

Book Synopsis Stealing Gypsy Treasure by : Joyce M. Christian
Download or read book Stealing Gypsy Treasure written by Joyce M. Christian and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2018-07-20 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you encountered a Gypsy Vanner horse? If you can answer yes to that question, whether you are a horse person or not, you have, if for only a moment, been captivated. The out-of-the-box beauty of these horses has been turning heads since the late 1990s when they were first introduced as a breed. The horse is a lifetime achievement of the Gypsy culture in Ireland and England. However, given the nature of this culture, the world of the internet and the horse industrys driving force, horse trading, confusion rather than understanding has appeared in the form of multiple breed names, multiple registries, and variety rather than consistency in breeding. Stealing Gypsy Treasure offers food for thought and clarity for those who have been drawn to these mysteriously magical and enchanting animals. If you are new to these horses, this will be a welcome introduction to the Gypsy people and how nature chose this intriguing culture to create one of its most remarkable works of art.
Book Synopsis Gypsy Identities 1500-2000 by : David Mayall
Download or read book Gypsy Identities 1500-2000 written by David Mayall and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2004-03-01 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gypsies have lived in England since the early sixteenth century, yet considerable confusion and disagreement remain over the precise identity of the group. The question 'Who are the Gypsies?' is still asked and the debates about the positioning and permanence of the boundary between Gypsy and non-Gypsy are contested as fiercely today as at any time before. This study locates these debates in their historical perspective, tracing the origins and reproduction of the various ways of defining and representing the Gypsy from the early sixteenth century to the present day. Starting with a consideration of the early modern description of Gypsies as Egyptians, land pirates and vagabonds, the volume goes on to examine the racial classification of the nineteenth century and the emergence of the ethnic Gypsy in the twentieth century. The book closes with an exploration of the long-lasting image of the group as vagrant and parasitic nuisances which spans the whole period from 1500 to 2000.
