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.

Tinta del exotismo

Libro Tinta del exotismo

Colección de ensayos sobre el sujeto exótico, ese que nos provoca atracción y al mismo tiempo rechazo. Representa el lugar a colonizar, y la alteridad así resulta un estímulo para despertar la sed de aventura, lo que ha sido abordado en ficciones como la narrativa, el teatro y el cine de autores como Carpentier, Vargas Llosa, Anzaldúa, Alexei, Moore, Coetzee, y Defoe, entre otros. Con base en reflexiones de Barthes, Ricoeur, Todorov, Bajtín, Said y Derrida, los textos exploran si lo salvaje, aquello que denominamos primitivo, define la ignorancia oculta en los vocabularios culturales.

From the Sin-é Café to the Black Hills

Libro From the Sin-é Café to the Black Hills

Eamonn Wall arrived in the United States in the 1980s as part of a wave of young, educated immigrants who became known as the "New Irish." In this book he comments on his own experiences and those of his generation, who identify as much with contemporary ethnic and immigrant America as they do with the long-settled Irish American community. Wall's starting point is the now-closed Sin-é Café in New York's East Village, which was a hangout in the early 1990s for expatriate Irish musicians, actors, and writers. He comments on the poetry, fiction, essays, and memoirs of both the New Irish and...
