Book Description
Gustavo Adolfo Becquer was one of Spain's most important poets of the 19th century, and the instigator of a new Spanish version of Romanticism, influenced by German models such as Heine. Born in Seville in 1836, the son of an artist of Flemish origin, he lived only 34 years, but in that time created a hugely influential body of verse (his Rimas, or Rhymes) as well as several short fictions (the Leyendas, or Legends). His other works include a remarkable series of letters, or epistolary fictions, published as Desde mi celda (From My Cell). Orphaned at the age of five, Becquer was raised by an elderly, and childless, uncle. A talented artist himself - as was also his brother, Valeriano - he became a pupil at a local studio in Seville, but gave this up in favour of a literary career, heading for Madrid at the age of eighteen, full of hope. He obtained a minor post in the civil-service, thanks to his uncle's influence, but was not cut out for such a routine job and was dismissed. For some time thereafter he was a typical Bohemian artist, living on very little while trying to write, and scratching a small income from the translation of foreign novels, and from part-time journalism. Towards the end of his life he obtained another government post, as a censor, but when he died, it was in considerable poverty, suffering from pneumonia and liver problems. His work was only published posthumously, thanks to the efforts of his friends.

ISBN: 9780359031528
Category : Poetry
Languages : es
Pages : 104
Book Description
Las Rimas y Leyendas de Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer son reconocidos por su belleza y expresión; este libro los incluye a todos según el autor los escribió. Un poeta y autor de talentos supremos, Bécquer es un ícono de la poesía española de la Era Romántica, y sus obras son ampliamente enseñadas en las escuelas de español. A pesar de que mostró tal talento a una edad temprana, su edad adulta en Madrid fue de pobreza y dificultad. A pesar de haber trabajado varias veces, no pudo durar mucho tiempo en un trabajo convencional: el verdadero amor de Bécquer era la poesía y el lenguaje. Gran parte del mejor trabajo de Gustavo Bécquer fue publicado con la ayuda de su hermano Valentino, algunos eran satíricos, mientras que otros escritos eran artísticos. La tragedia ocurrió cuando Valentino, él mismo un pintor fino, cayó gravemente enfermo y murió de tuberculosis. Este evento afectó gravemente a Gustavo; abatido, murió solo dos meses después en la pobreza más extrema de Madrid.

Advice for a Young Investigator
Author: Santiago Ramon Y Cajal
Publisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 0262250039
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 156
Book Description
An anecdotal guide for the perplexed new investigator as well as a refreshing resource for the old pro, covering everything from valuable personality traits for an investigator to social factors conducive to scientific work. Santiago Ramón y Cajal was a mythic figure in science. Hailed as the father of modern anatomy and neurobiology, he was largely responsible for the modern conception of the brain. His groundbreaking works were New Ideas on the Structure of the Nervous System and Histology of the Nervous System in Man and Vertebrates. In addition to leaving a legacy of unparalleled scientific research, Cajal sought to educate the novice scientist about how science was done and how he thought it should be done. This recently rediscovered classic, first published in 1897, is an anecdotal guide for the perplexed new investigator as well as a refreshing resource for the old pro. Cajal was a pragmatist, aware of the pitfalls of being too idealistic—and he had a sense of humor, particularly evident in his diagnoses of various stereotypes of eccentric scientists. The book covers everything from valuable personality traits for an investigator to social factors conducive to scientific work.

Reading Iberia
Author: Stuart Davis
Publisher: Peter Lang
ISBN: 9783039111091
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 238
Book Description
This book is an edited volume of eleven specially-commissioned essays by a range of established and emerging UK-based Hispanists, which assess recent developments in the disciplines falling under the umbrella of 'Iberian Studies'. These essays, which cover a wide range of time periods and geographical areas, but are united by the common question of what it means to 'Read Iberia', offer an invigorating critique of many of the critical assumptions shaping the study of Iberian languages and literatures. This volume offers a timely intervention into the debate about the current repositioning of language/literature disciplines within the UK university. Its intellectual starting point is the need for a committed and incisive re-evaluation of the role of literature and the way we teach and research it. The contributors address this issue from a diverse range of linguistic, cultural and theoretical backgrounds, drawing on both familiar and not-so-familiar texts and authors to question common reference points and critical assumptions. The volume offers not only a new and invigorating space for reimagining Iberian Studies from within, but also - through its commitment to interdisciplinary debate - an opportunity to raise the profile of Iberian Studies outside the community of academic Hispanists.
