Book Description
A biographical and critical study of the Spanish poet Manuel Machado (1874-1947), who was highly thought of in his lifetime but who, since his death, declined in popularity. His brother, Antonio, whom he once overshadowed, became more widely read. The first half of the book is biographical, setting Machado against the general literary background in Spain, and estimating his debt to French influence. Dr Brotherston deals in some detail with the Modernista movement, so that the study is almost an account of Spanish literary life of the time. The second half of the book is critical; Dr Brotherston wishes to show the fine quality of certain poems, and to affirm Machado's real importance and distinction. The generous bibliography will be useful to readers closely concerned with Machado and his period.

Book Description
Throughout Spain's tumultuous twentieth century, women writers produced a dazzling variety of novels, popular theater, and poetry. Their work both reflected and helped to transform women’s gender, family, and public roles, carving out new space in the literary canon. This multilingual collection of essays by both scholars and creative artists explores the diversity of Spanish women's writing, both celebrated and forgotten.

Book Description
El encabalgamiento como uno de los recursos de la escritura, más allá de la aparente ruptura entre sintaxis y métrica, es un vehículo que supera lo meramente lingüístico y enlaza lo cotidianamente material con lo profundamente metafísico. Este vehículo abre la puerta al cosmos interno de todo ser humano, procurando así una introspectiva existencial del escritor y todo lector, esta introspectiva tiene como objeto la redefinición o la búsqueda real de la raíz de conceptos que habitualmente se les da un mal uso, asimilando torticeramente su significado original. Esta vuelta a los orígenes del significado de los conceptos no es un mero placer lingüístico, sino el hecho de una puesta a punto de las herramientas (que son los conceptos universales) para poder así interpretar lo más óptimamente posible el cosmos profundo del ser humano. Profundo para así poder llegar a la esencia de las cosas mediante símbolos, como la expresión plástica que convive con la obra literaria de Juan Jesús, esta obra plástica se puede apreciar en el libro junto a todos y cada uno de los conceptos analizados, con la particularidad que el dibujo expresado aquí es el primer garabato realizado por el impulso emocional al analizar y describir conceptos derivados de las propias vivencias humanas.

Book Description
02 Retratos2,000 Years of Latin American PortraitsMarion Oettinger, Jr., Miguel A. Bretos, Carolyn Kinder Carr et al.A landmark survey of Latin American portraiture and its powerful significance throughout historyThe tradition of portraiture in Latin America is astonishingly long and rich. For over 2,000 years, portraits have been used to preserve the memory of the deceased, bolster the social standing of the aristocracy, mark the deeds of the mighty, advance the careers of politicians, record rites of passage, and mock symbols of the status quo. This beautiful and wide-ranging book—the first to explore the tradition of portraiture in Latin America from pre-Columbian times to the present day—features some 200 works from fifteen countries. Retratos (Portraits) presents an engaging variety of works by such well-known figures as Diego Rivera, Frida Kahlo, Fernando Botero, and José Campeche as well as stunning examples by anonymous and obscure artists. Distinguished contributors discuss the significance of portraits in ancient Mayan civilizations, in the world of colonial Iberians, in the political struggles of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and in a remarkable range of other times and locations. With a wealth of informative details and exquisite color illustrations, Retratos invites readers to appreciate Latin American portraits and their many meanings as never before.F This book is the catalogue for the first exhibition of Latin American portraiture ever organized in the United States. The exhibition is on view at El Museo del Barrio, New York (December 3, 2004 to March 20, 2005); the San Diego Museum of Art (April 16 to June 12, 2005); the Bass Museum of Art, Miami Beach (July 23 to October 2, 2005); the National Portrait Gallery, Smithsonian, Washington, D.C.
