Sinopsis del Libro

Libro La pasión del obstáculo

Juana Borrero (1877 - 1896) - Modernist poet, born in Puentes Grandes, Havana, Cuba. She also excelled in painting. As a poet, she was considered a precocious girl. Her father, Esteban Borrero, was a short stories writer of and a poet; and her sister, Dulce Maria Borrero, excelled at poetry and prose. Therefore, Juana grew up in an artistic and literary atmosphere, amid literary circles and gatherings attended by other writers like Carlos Pio and Federico Uhrbach, as well as Julian del Casal. While still very young, Juana took painting classes, first with Dolores Desvernine, and later on, in 1886, at the famous San Alejandro Academy of Fine Arts in Havana. She also studied with Armando Menocal, one of the most outstanding Cuban painters of the nineteenth century. In 1892, Juana accompanied her father to New York, where she met Jose Marti, who organized a literary soiree in her honor at Chickering Hall. She returned to Cuba the following year. Her poems appeared in the anthology Grupo de familia, poesias de los Borrero, published in 1895, also the year in which the only book of poetry published by Juana Borrero appeared: Rimas. Juana's poems were also featured in La Habana Elegante, Gris y Azul y El Figaro. In addition to valuable canvases and drawings of hers that still survive, she left an extensive epistolary that was published in Havana, in two volumes, between 1966 and 1967. These letters had their origin in the romantic relationship between Juana Borrero and Carlos Pio Uhrbach, which, because of the opposition of Esteban, Juana's father, had to be conducted through a secret interchange of personal letters. In 1895, due to Esteban's involvement in the revolutionary cause, the Borreros were forced to emigrate to the United States. In Key West, where her family settled, Juana passed away on March 9, 1896. Shortly before dying, and already almost without the strength to write, she dictated the verses of her "Ultima rima," which would become, in fact, her last poem. Although she died only months before turning eighteen, Juana Borrero is, in her own right, one of the most fascinating figures of the Hispano-American modernism. If she has not had all her well deserved recognition, it is only because her works had not been published outside Cuba until now. Particularly the letters, but also the poems of Juana Borrero, constitute an essential reading for those interested in the Hispano-American modernism. These works will surely become required reading for anyone attempting to understand the workings of subjectivity - especially, but no only, regarding women - during the Latin American fin-de-siecle . In addition to the critical and commented edition of the complete poetic works of Juana Borrero, the present book includes a selection of her letters, texts on Juana Borrero, photos and an updated bibliography.

Libro Lengua y diccionarios

Este volumen recoge un cercano homenaje a Manuel Seco, discreto maestro en la didáctica del idioma, en la gramática (descriptiva y normativa), en lo relacionado con la lengua coloquial en el mundo de la literatura y, lo más conocido probablemente de los últimos tiempos, maestro de maestros en el más complejo universo de la lexicografía (teoría y práctica). Este conjunto de estudios en torno a temas varios de la lingüística española (con predominio de los lexicográficos) e, igualmente, alrededor de su propia obra científica (el muy rico inventario bibliográfico de sus trabajos;...

Libro La novela pastoril española

Las aportaciones de eruditos y críticos en los últimos años han venido a confirmar el valor excepcional del libro de Juan Bautista Avalle-Arce, catedrático de la Universidad de North Carolina, eminente cervantista y profundo conocedor de nuestro Siglo de Oro. El presente estudio, cuya segunda edición hoy presentamos enriquecida por la ininterrumpida labor investigadora del autor desde 1959 -fecha en que vió la luz por primera vez-, constituye, pese al breve tiempo transcurrido, una contribución ya clásica y fundamental para el conocimiento del tema.

Abecedario a Mano

Libro Abecedario a Mano

Este abecedario es caprichoso, y nace del juego de dibujar letras, sin pensar en nada mas que en su forma y el gusto de trazarlas sobre el papel. Con esta idea, Isol creo cada imagen y al final penso en una breve frase que uniera a la letra con el dibujo, ¡pues las palabras son muy buenas como pegamento! Este abecedario es entonces un juego que propone un acercamiento poco convencional con las letras, y donde cada imagen se presenta ante el lector como el fragmento de una historia que necesita ser completada a traves de su mirada e imaginacion. ¡Pero las letras tambien son sonidos!; por eso ...

Tragic Lucidity

Libro Tragic Lucidity

Presenting the work of Miguel de Unamuno and Albert Camus as paradigmatic, the present study examines the significance and function of the -tragic- in a modern context, using a historical, socio-political approach. This approach permits the tragic to be seen as a product of specific historical circumstances, rather than as a fundamental, metaphysical aspect of the human condition, first revealed in Greek Tragedy and still evident today. In addition, a connection is made between Unamuno's and Camus's controversial political positions taken at the end of their lives and their insistence upon a...
