La vida manda y otros textos

This collection of essays presents views on Don Quijote by noted Latin American philosophers, historians, sociologists, poets, and novelists. It intends to make the student of Hispanic culture aware of the profound love and admiration that Hispanic America has always demonstrated toward Cervantes and his masterpiece. Until now, the contributions of Latin American intellectuals to Cervantine studies have largely been ignored in publications in the United States. Written in Spanish, this text will be useful to the student and scholar of Hispanic literature and Latin American Studies.

Son textos que nacen de la experiencia, tentativos y frágiles como muchas cosas que tienen que ver con la creación literaria; y que tienen el mérito de poder ser leídos como interesantes aproximaciones al oficio de escribir, y también como entretenidos relatos de escritores y escritoras que nos hablan del desafío de enfrentar la pantalla o la hoja en blanco. (Ramón Díaz Eterovic).
