The Oxford Book of Latin American Short Stories
ISBN: 9780195130850 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 496 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. When Latin American writers burst onto the world literary scene in the now famous "Boom" of the sixties, it seemed as if an entire literature had invented itself over night out of thin air. Not only was the writing extraordinary but its sudden and spectacular appearance itself seemed magical. In fact, Latin American literature has a long and rich tradition that reaches back to the Colonial period and is filled with remarkable writers too little known in the English-speaking world. The short story has been a central part of this tradition, from Fray Bartolome de las Casas' narrative protests...

Cervantes' Don Quixote
ISBN: 9780300198645 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The novel Don Quixote, written in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth century by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, is widely considered to be one of the greatest fictional works in the entire canon of Western literature. At once farcical and deeply philosophical, Cervantes' novel and its characters have become integrated into the cultures of the Western Hemisphere, influencing language and modern thought while inspiring art and artists such as Richard Strauss and Pablo Picasso. Based on Professor Roberto Gonzalez Echevarria's popular open course at Yale University, this essential...

The Voice of the Masters: Writing and Authority in Modern Latin American Literature
ISBN: 9780292787094 / Angielski / Miękka / 1985 / 207 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. By one of the most original and learned critical voices in Hispanic studies-- a timely and ambitious study of authority as theme and authority as authorial strategy in modern Latin American literature. An ideology is implicit in modern Latin American literature, argues Roberto Gonzalez Echevarria, through which both the literature itself and criticism of it define what Latin American literature is and how it ought to be read. In the works themselves this ideology is constantly subjected to a radical critique, and that critique renders the ideology productive and in a sense is what...

Cervantes' Don Quixote: A Casebook
ISBN: 9780195169379 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This casebook gathers a collection of ambitious essays about both parts of the novel (1605 and 1615) and also provides a general introduction and a bibliography. The essays range from Ramon Menendez Pidal's seminal study of how Cervantes dealt with chivalric literature to Erich Auerbachs polemical study of Don Quixote as essentially a comic book by studying its mixture of styles, and include Leo Spitzer's masterful probe into the essential ambiguity of the novel through minute linguistic analysis of Cervantes prose. The book includes pieces by other major Cervantes scholars, such as Manuel...

Modern Latin American Literature: A Very Short Introduction
ISBN: 9780199754915 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 152 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 12 dni roboczych. In the 1960s, Latin American literature became known worldwide as never before. Writers such as Jorge Luis Borges, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Mario Vargas Llosa, Carlos Fuentes, Pablo Neruda, Octavio Paz, and Mario Vargas Llosa all became part of the general culture of educated readers of English, French, German, and Italian.

Myth and Archive offers a new theory about the origin and evolution of the Latin American narrative, and about the emergence of the modern novel. Instead of following the traditional categories set up by literary history, Professor Gonzalez Echevarria explores the relationship of the narrative to the language of authority: the law in the colonial period, science in the nineteenth century, and anthropology in the twentieth century.

Love and the Law in Cervantes
ISBN: 9780300177848 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 314 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The consolidation of law and the development of legal writing during Spain's Golden Age not only helped that country become a modern state but also affected its great literature. In this fascinating book, Roberto Gonzalez Echevarria explores the works of Cervantes, showing how his representations of love were inspired by examples of human deviance and desire culled from legal discourse. Gonzalez Echevarria describes Spain's new legal policies, legislation, and institutions and explains how, at the same time, its literature became filled with love stories derived from classical and medieval...

Published in 1499 and centered on the figure of a bawd and witch, Fernando de Rojas' dark and disturbing "Celestina "was destined to become the most suppressed classic in Spanish literary history.

Don Quixote
ISBN: 9780142437230 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 1072 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Don Quixote has become so entranced reading tales of chivalry that he decides to turn knight errant himself. In the company of his faithful squire, Sancho Panza, these exploits blossom in all sorts of wonderful ways. While Quixote's fancy often leads him astray--he tilts at windmills, imagining them to be giants--Sancho acquires cunning and a certain sagacity. Sane madman and wise fool, they roam the world together-and together they have haunted readers' imaginations for nearly four hundred years. With its experimental form and literary playfulness, Don Quixote has been generally...
