The Poem of Fernán González

Resumen del Libro

Libro The Poem of Fernán González

Fernan Gonzalez lived from about AD 910 to 970. The popular image of him is of a fearsome warrior who gave his people protection from their enemies (both Muslim and Christian), and a wise and respected lord who enabled them to live in security and harmony. He was generally accepted to have played a strategic role in achieving independence for Castile and freeing it from dominance by the kingdom of Leon. The Poema de Fernan Gonzalez was composed (by an unknown author) in the mid-thirteenth century as an enduring celebration of his triumphs and account of his life and deeds. Fact and legend have become intertwined and there is much within its stanzas that is certainly not closely based on historic facts! This new translation is set against a detailed study of the historic context of the Castillian conflicts and a factual account of the life and achievements of Fernan Gonzalez. The political situation of the time in which the poem was composed is also considered, as is the manner in which the 'history' it espouses came to be handed down over three centuries, the possibility of a pre-existing rich oral tradition surrounding this iconic figure, and the possible sources employed by the poet in constructing the poem.

Libro Ficciones del muro

Tres poderosas escrituras comparecen cruzando los horizontes epistémicos de la literatura chilena, desde el realismo y los ensayos vanguardistas de Marta Brunet, los destellos surrealistas de José Donoso y la postvanguardia que quiebra las líneas temporales y espaciales con el fragmentarismo propio de la escena narrativa de Diamela Eltit. Las políticas textuales que ensayan estos textos, instalan la pregunta por el lugar, por la pertinencia del territorio y por el sitio en que los cuerpos del dominador y el dominado intersectan sus cartas de choque. Explosionando así la convulsa y...

De la barbarie de la imaginación

Libro De la barbarie de la imaginación

Un ensayo imprescindible sobre la evolución de la novela en América Latina y España. Para R.H. Moreno-Durán, la novela latinoamericana expresa la secuencia de factores, tendencias y modas que primaron en el panorama cultural del continente, y la imaginación es el único elemento que esta tiene para revelarse en medio del debate entre "civilización" y "barbarie", implícito en la problemática cultural latinoamericana. La crítica ha dicho "De la barbarie a la imaginación es una libre interpretación de las letras hispanoamericanas desde las perspectivas de un escritor presente". Ángel ...
