A story of separation and displacement in two fictionalized voices: a person who has migrated, without papers, to the United States for work, and their partner who waits at home. Nostalgia Doesn’t Flow Away Like Riverwater / Xilase qui rié di’ sicasi rié nisa guiigu’ / La Nostalgia no se marcha como el agua de los ríos is a trilingual collection by one of the most prominent Indigenous poets in Latin America: Irma Pineda. The book consists of 36 persona poems that tell a story of separation and displacement in two fictionalized voices: a person who has migrated, without papers, to the United States for work, and that person’s partner who waits at home, in the poet’s hometown of Juchitán, Oaxaca.

An accessible anthology of the greatest ancient Greek myths and legends for readers of all ages by the celebrated classicist and historical novelist.

The Radetzky March
Author: Joseph Roth
Publisher: Abrams
ISBN: 1590208447
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 287
Book Description
The author’s masterpiece, an epic saga of a family and an empire in decline, is “full of psychological penetration and tragic force” (The New Yorker). The Radetzky March, Joseph Roth’s classic novel of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, follows three generations of the privileged von Trotta family as Europe advances inexorably toward World War I. With a breadth and richness that draws comparison to Tolstoy, it encompasses the entire social fabric of Austro-Hungarian society. Shot through with dark humor and tragic irony, The Radetzky March is an unparalleled portrait of a civilization in decline, and as such a universal story for our times. “A masterpiece . . . The totality of Joseph Roth’s work is no less than a tragédie humaine achieved in the techniques of modern fiction. No other contemporary writer, not excepting Thomas Mann, has come close to achieving the wholeness . . . that Lukács cites as our impossible aim.” —Nadine Gordimer

Sí/pero no: La poesía de Bécquer
Author: Giannina Braschi
Publisher: Costa-Amic Editores
ISBN: 607851895X
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 196
Book Description
Las rimas de Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer, así como su obra en prosa, ponen de relieve la polaridad, la contradicción, el continuo vaivén de la esperanza y la desilusión. La estructura de sus poemas responde, en la medida de su lógica interna (sí/pero no), a la misma ley de contradicción que existe en los estratos profundos del espíritu. El problema de la vida y el amor se plantea y se une con su visión del mundo. La vida, o la experiencia, puede ser bella o fea, buena o mala. Toda experiencia abre una última dualidad insuperable, que desgarra la unidad de la existencia. En su coyuntura interna, lo uno anula lo otro; un mismo objeto o sentimiento puede ser motivo de entusiasta afirmación y al mismo tiempo de apasionada negación. Su poesía es delirio alegre o reconcentrado dolor; el ritmo psicológico oscila entre impulsos contrarios. La acumulación de las antítesis profundiza los estados internos. El alma se debate entre opuestos: la razón y la pasión; la alegría y el dolor; la esperanza y la desesperanza.
