The Strife of Tongues

Sinopsis del Libro

Fray Luis de Len (1527-91) is known chiefly as the author of some of the finest poetry of the Spanish Golden Age, but he also wrote important prose works in both Latin and Spanish, and produced eloquent translations into Spanish of biblical and classical texts. He spent five years imprisoned in solitary confinement by the Spanish Inquisition, fighting to clear himself of a series of accusations against his views on the Bible. Acquitted on all counts, he returned to teach at the University of Salamanca. This book examines the controversies in which Fray Luis was caught up, and investigates the complex influences upon his writings of his prison experiences, his indebtedness to Judaism, his interests as a linguist, and his work as a biblical scholar and theologian. Colin Thompson looks afresh at Fray Luis's most famous poems and prose works, and explores his understanding of language as a means of enabling God to speak to humanity and humanity to rise to God.

Conflicts and Conciliations

Ribbans's analysis of such devices as the ambiguous role of the narrator, the use of free indirect style and direct dialogue, and the construction of distinctive ideolects leads to the heart of his study, the development of Galdos's characters.

La novela histórica latinoamericana entre dos siglos

El autor utiliza la manera en que Tomás Eloy Martínez presenta en la novela "Santa Evita" la biografía de Eva Perón, para advertirnos sobre el carácter "construido" de la historia "oficial" y sobre la existencia de una identidad nacional impuesta e indiscutida. El principal objetivo es analizar los rasgos generales de la novela histórica latinoamericana contemporánea y su relación con la "crisis de representación" que actualmente afecta a la credibilidad y la objetividad de la historia y su discurso, a través de la figura de Eva Perón. El escritor construye finalmente una novela...
