Encounter with the Plumed Serpent
Author: Maarten Jansen
Publisher: University Press of Colorado
ISBN: 1607327104
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 417
Book Description
The Mixtec, or the people of Ñuu Savi ('Nation of the Rain God'), one of the major civilizations of ancient Mesoamerica, made their home in the highlands of Oaxaca, where they resisted both Aztec military expansion and the Spanish conquest. In Encounter with the Plumed Serpent, two leading scholars present and interpret the sacred histories narrated in the Mixtec codices, the largest surviving collection of pre-Columbian manuscripts in existence. In these screenfold books, ancient painter-historians chronicled the politics of the Mixtec from approximately a.d. 900 to 1521, portraying the royal families, rituals, wars, alliances, and ideology of the times. By analyzing and cross-referencing the codices, which have been fragmented and dispersed in far-flung archives, the authors attempt to reconstruct Mixtec history. Their synthesis here builds on long examination of the ancient manuscripts. Adding useful interpretation and commentary, Jansen and Pérez Jiménez synthesize the large body of surviving documents into the first unified narrative of Mixtec sacred history. Archaeologists and other scholars as well as readers with an interest in Mesoamerican cultures will find this lavishly illustrated volume a compelling and fascinating history and a major step forward in knowledge of the Mixtec.

Dalom y el espíritu de la desolación
Author: Yon Jiménez
Publisher: Caligrama
ISBN: 8418369426
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 356
Book Description
El peor enemigo de un hombre son los miedos que alberga en su corazón. Dalom, quien anhela vivir una vida diferente a la que sus padres y su comunidad le imponen, pacta con el maléfico espíritu de un hombre condenado a deambular eternamente en la oscuridad, el recibir una poderosa espada a cambio del corazón palpitante de su pequeño hijo. Al no poder cumplir con su parte del pacto, Dalom huye de su pequeña aldea con la ilusión de iniciar una nueva vida y de librarse de la sentencia de muerte que Calin, el espíritu desolado, ha impuesto sobre él. Muriendo lentamente, Dalom entenderá que la única forma de salvar su propia vida es encontrando la espada por sus propios medios antes de que otro lo haga; no obstante, aquella desquiciada búsqueda lo llevará a tierras lejanas en donde se aliará con oscuras y peligrosas fuerzas, descubrirá el sabor amargo del verdadero amor y ganará peligrosos enemigos.

Catholic Iconography in the Novels of Juan Marsé
Author: Rosemary Clark
Publisher: Tamesis Books
ISBN: 9781855660878
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 232
Book Description
The prize-winning novelist Juan Marsé, born in Barcelona in 1933, is widely-read not only within Spain but also in translation, for his often provocative portrayals of life in post-war Barcelona. Clark's study discusses Marsé's engagement with Catholic popular culture, Spanish National Catholicism and Catalan Catholic Nationalism, exploring his subversion of iconic imagery as an ironic sub-textual commentary on political ideology, by which he is able to experiment with outer reality and inner reconstructions of experience. Dr Clark shows how religious and profane visions of love are subtly intertwined, how the tales told by children and the novel form itself are interrelated, and finally how a variety of biblical topoi, ranging from the Garden of Eden to the Song of Songs, are deployed in Marsé's fiction. Particular attention is paid to La oscura historia de la prima Montse, Si te dicen que ca and Im genes y recuerdos. -- Amazon.com.

The Oxford Handbook of the Latin American Novel
Author: Juan E. De Castro
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0197541852
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 889
Book Description
The Latin American novel burst onto the international literary scene with the Boom era--led by Julio Cortázar, Gabriel García Márquez, Carlos Fuentes, and Mario Vargas Llosa--and has influenced writers throughout the world ever since. García Márquez and Vargas Llosa each received the Nobel Prize in literature, and many of the best-known contemporary novelists are inspired by the region's fiction. Indeed, magical realism, the style associated with García Márquez, has left a profound imprint on African American, African, Asian, Anglophone Caribbean, and Latinx writers. Furthermore, post-Boom literature continues to garner interest, from the novels of Roberto Bolaño to the works of César Aira and Chico Buarque, to those of younger novelists such as Juan Gabriel Vásquez, Alejandro Zambra, and Valeria Luiselli. Yet, for many readers, the Latin American novel is often read in a piecemeal manner delinked from the traditions, authors, and social contexts that help explain its evolution. The Oxford Handbook of the Latin American Novel draws literary, historical, and social connections so that readers will come away understanding this literature as a rich and compelling canon. In forty-five chapters by leading and innovative scholars, the Handbook provides a comprehensive introduction, helping readers to see the region's intrinsic heterogeneity--for only with a broader view can one fully appreciate García Márquez or Bolaño. This volume charts the literary tradition of the Latin American novel from its beginnings during colonial times, its development during the nineteenth and the first half of the twentieth century, and its flourishing from the 1960s onward. Furthermore, the Handbook explores the regions, representations of identity, narrative trends, and authors that make this literature so diverse and fascinating, reflecting on the Latin American novel's position in world literature.
