Sinopsis del Libro

Libro La vida manda y otros textos

This edition comprises selected examples of the Cuban writer Ofelia Rodriguez Acosta' s prose, including her best known novel and samples of her short stories, essays and journalism works. These texts range from raw realism to lyrical exaltation; from the direct portayal of the historical moment to the meticulous insight of the human psyche. Her peculiar naturalism bloomed under the influence of the philosophical currents of her times, encompassing echoes of Positivism, but after a passionate discussion against Existentialism her writing steerer towards the Latin American avant-garde literature that without any conflict simultaneously approached metaphysics and political commitment. Together the foreword essay and the selected examples offer a survey view of her style and ideas in the convulsive decades of 1930 to 1950 Cuba, a key to understand the development of Modernity on the island. Ofelia Rodríguez Acosta, undoubtedly occupies a place in this feat. We hope that this book continues the growing academic work determined to recover her voice. This book is much more than an excellent edition of the novel «La vida manda» by the all-important Cuban feminist Ofelia Rodríguez Acosta. In addition to including a selection of other texts by the author, in her introduction Madeline Cámara highlights with sharpness and intelligence the importance of naturalism, feminism and mysticism in the work of Rodríguez Acosta. From now on, every study on Rodríguez Acosta will have to take into account this magnificent contribution made by prof. Camara.

Libro La ciudad de Babel

Como una rueda La ciudad de Babel es la noria, que representa muchas cosas: la luz, la sombra y el eterno retorno, como lo pensó Nietzsche y, mi héroe, o mejor, mi antihéroe, Emiliano Isaías Gamboa, una brizna insignificante en el engranaje de esa máquina, que prefigura el tiempo con sus fantasmas y sus ilusiones de un mundo que simboliza el paraíso y el infierno terrenal de una época histórica que, curiosamente, parece haber sido borrada del mapa mental junto con sus habitantes.

Nuevas historias de la tribu

Libro Nuevas historias de la tribu

Después de la muerte de Franco en 1975, las poetas españolas sintieron la necesidad de revisar el poema largo y socavar las bases de un género densamente codificado por la tradición masculina. Este estudio analiza el papel del poema largo como género híbrido bajo la luz de la investigación más reciente, y provee un análisis temático y formal de este género tal y como lo concibieron Carmen Conde, Francisca Aguirre, Clara Janés, Juana Castro, y Andrea Luca. Estos poemas largos no son solamente un reto a tales formas androcéntricas como la épica, sino también una forma de crear...

El círculo del exilio y la enajenación en la obra de Reinaldo Arenas

Libro El círculo del exilio y la enajenación en la obra de Reinaldo Arenas

This analysis shows that Reinaldo Arenas' work is one of exile and alienation. Arenas, as a human being as well as an author, suffered all forms of exile, and these influence the structure of his work. In his literary work, as well as in his life, all the definitions of exile given by sociology are present; that of inner exile, to which Arenas added a new characteristic, and that of territorial exile as well. His work represents the vision of the marginated, imprisoned, persecuted, rejected. The purpose of his novels and poetry is to reveal, from a historical reconstruction, the explanation...
