The Poem of Fernán González

Sinopsis 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.

Un desierto para la nación

Libro Un desierto para la nación

Con un enfoque deleuziano, Fermín A. Rodríguez construye una obra “esencial para comprender la geografía imaginaria del interminable y múltiple desierto argentino” (Ricardo Piglia). Un recorrido cabal por la literatura del desierto (desde Humboldt, Hudson y Darwin, pasando por José Hernández, Lucio V. Mansilla, Sarmiento y Rosas, hasta Saer, Aira y Gamerro); por esos textos que proporcionaron las maneras de ver y pensar un espacio que se leía como vacante frente a la ausencia de un estado-nación que lo regulara, pero que no estaba justamente vacío. Este libro es, como afirma su...

Juan José Millás

Libro Juan José Millás

The five novels written by Juan José Millás between 1988 and 1998 (El desorden de tu nombre; La soledad era esto, Volver a casa; Tonto, muerto, bastardo e invisible; and El orden alfabético) display an increasing preoccupation with a limited number of themes, principally identity and social criticism. They also demonstrate the constant reiteration of a specific group of motifs, an increasing use of metafictional devices, and the use of bizarre or mentally disturbed protagonists. Millás presents writing as the compulsive expression of obsessive thought. This book explains Millás's...
