Don Quixote is a Spanish novel by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra. Published in two volumes, in 1605 and 1615, Don Quixote is considered the most influential work of literature from the Spanish Golden Age and the entire Spanish literary canon. As a founding work of modern Western literature and one of the earliest canonical novels, it regularly appears high on lists of the greatest works of fiction ever published. The story follows the adventures of a hidalgo named Mr. Alonso Quixano who reads so many chivalric romances that he loses his sanity and decides to set out to revive chivalry, undo wrongs, and bring justice to the world, under the name Don Quixote de la Mancha. He recruits a simple farmer, Sancho Panza, as his squire, who often employs a unique, earthy wit in dealing with Don Quixote's rhetorical orations on antiquated knighthood. Don Quixote, in the first part of the book, does not see the world for what it is and prefers to imagine that he is living out a knightly story. Throughout the novel, Cervantes uses such literary techniques as realism, metatheatre, and intertextuality.
Vivimos en un mundo de constante movimiento del cual podemos distinguir dos realidades sociales, la de los políticos y la de sus votantes. Este libro pretende ser una ventana al análisis del distanciamiento que existe entre ambos y ayudar en la posibilidad de hacer servir las redes sociales para acortar esas distancias. Obama abrió el camino y le funcionó ... debería hacernos pensar.
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.
"Porque a través de las palabras del autor entramos en la experiencia humana de algo grandioso y terrible, que no conoceríamos del todo si no descendiéramos a las vivencias particulares de quienes lo protagonizaron". Del prólogo de Miguel Ángel Pérez Oca. Los cuentos que Rafa escuchaba de pequeño eran de las aventuras de su padre durante la Guerra Civil. Un relato bélico en el que pierden protagonismo las bombas, el barro y la sangre. Narraciones de lo que unos ojos afortunados tuvieron la oportunidad de ver y, más aún, historias de quien pudo sobrevivir a la guerra. La memoria nunca es un inventario de hechos, ni siquiera un ejercicio de justicia con lo que sucedió. La memoria siempre es el relato que nos contamos para convivir con nuestra biografía. Un hombre de suerte es una historia inapelable para que la memoria de Rafael García viva para siempre.
