La vida manda y otros textos

Sinopsis del Libro

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.

Ideas de crítica y arte en el Romanticismo y en Nietzsche

El hecho de que las ideas actuales sobre crítica y arte tienen su origen en el Romanticismo, luego reorientado hacia un más allá de la unidad metafísica de la naturaleza por Nietzsche, podría alcanzar para justificar su enfoque privilegiado en las lecciones que incluye este libro. En el caso de las reflexiones del joven Schlegel, alrededor del círculo de Jena, las pruebas estarían a la vista, puesto que todas las consideraciones contemporáneas acerca de los géneros literarios y sobre la fundamentación de una teoría especulativa de la literatura, vale decir, sistemática, encuentran ...
