Ancient Titicaca
One of the richest and most complex civilizations in ancient America evolved around Lake Titicaca in southern Peru and northern Bolivia. This book is the first comprehensive synthesis of four thousand years of prehistory for the entire Titicaca region. It is a fascinating story of the transition from hunting and gathering to early agriculture, to the formation of the Tiwanaku and Pucara civilizations, and to the double conquest of the region, first by the powerful neighboring Inca in the fifteenth century and a century later by the Spanish Crown. Based on more than fifteen years of field research in Peru and Bolivia, Charles Stanish's book brings together a wide range of ethnographic, histor...
Oculto sendero
Oculto sendero, novela inédita y testamento literario de Elena Fortún (1885-1952), por fin sale a la luz. Fortún escribe esta autobiografía novelada durante su exilio en Argentina y la firma con el seudónimo de Rosa María Castaños. La protagonista es María Luisa Arroyo, pintora y antes niña que quería vestirse de marinero, alter-ego de la autora. El camino de su vida es el sendero hacia el entendimiento de su homosexualidad, camino que avanza parejo al conocimiento y realización del potencial artístico e intelectual de la protagonista. Tras una infancia narrada al más puro estilo Fortún, María Luisa Arroyo irá dejando atrás, como la creadora de la inolvidable Celia, los dictados de la feminidad convencional para adentrarse en una modernidad inevitable y también desgarradora. Ambientada en la España anterior a 1936, Oculto sendero ofrece un retrato único y necesario de la intimidad y la lucha de una mujer excepcional.
The Op-Ed Novel
The Op-Ed Novel follows a clutch of globally renowned Spanish novelists who swept into the political sphere via the pages of El País. Their literary sensibility transformed opinion journalism, and their weekly columns changed their novels, which became venues for speculative historical claims, partisan political projects, and intellectual argument.
The Poetry of Francisco Brines
"Brines's seven poetry collections offer a sustained inquiry into three fundamental philosophical themes: knowledge, the present moment, and non-being. These themes, however, are presented as conflictual differences. The numerous poetic voices heard throughout his poetry continually wrestle with knowledge perpetually oscillating with ignorance, the present moment unceasingly becoming past, and human existence endlessly displaying its own finitude. In this study, the critical interpretation of these themes leads to the critical exploration of language, the signifying process of language, and the warring forces of signification. The sign is thus viewed as a structure of difference and as such it endlessly displays the duplicitous nature of language engaged in a semantic struggle with itself."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
