Spanish Ballads

Autor: Roger Wright

Número de Páginas: 261

The Spanish ballad tradition is one of the largest and most colourful in Europe, as reflected in the present collection of 71 of the best examples. They include tales of love and adventure, ancient legends such as those of Rodrigo the last Visigothic king, the battle of Roncesvalles and Bernardo del Carpio, stirring accounts of events of Spanish History such as the life of the Cid and the reign of Pedro "the cruel", as well as the "frontier ballads" about the relations between the Christians and the Moslems. Roger Wright's brilliantly performable verse translations closely recapture the style of the originals and make the meaning and spirit of the mediaeval ballad tradition come alive. His careful transcriptions of the Spanish texts and his detailed historical and linguistic notes provide a valuable insight into this splendid tradition. Spanish text with facing-page English translation.

The Cremades Plans

Autor: Javier Cremades Sanz-pastor

My father, Juan Antonio Cremades, first met Saint Josemaria Escrivá when they were fellow-students in the Department of Law at the University of Zaragoza, Spain, from 1925 to 1927. It was there that they made friends. Years later, at a very painful time for the founder of the Opus Dei, when his mother had just died, my father was able to do him a service for which Saint Josemaria was very grateful ever after. And for that reason, the large Cremades family – my parents and all of us ten siblings – enjoyed a very close, direct friendship with him until he went to Heaven. In this book I have collected some of the adventures – really big adventures! – that we had with our father and friend, Saint Josemaria. I have tried to highlight his kindness, the affection and friendly warmth that he scattered (especially on my lucky family), his sanctity, his joy and sense of humor. Also, his closeness to God, and the way he was able to bring all those who crossed his path closer to God.

Cartucho and My Mother's Hands

Autor: Nellie Campobello

Número de Páginas: 144

Nellie Campobello, a prominent Mexican writer and "novelist of the Revolution," played an important role in Mexico's cultural renaissance in the 1920s and early 1930s, along with such writers as Rafael Muñoz and Gregorio López y Fuentes and artists Diego Rivera, Orozco, and others. Her two novellas, Cartucho (first published in 1931) and My Mother's Hands (first published as Las manos de Mamá in 1938), are autobiographical evocations of a childhood spent amidst the violence and turmoil of the Revolution in Mexico. Campobello's memories of the Revolution in the north of Mexico, where Pancho Villa was a popular hero and a personal friend of her family, show not only the stark realism of Cartucho but also the tender lyricism of My Mother's Hands. They are noteworthy, too, as a first-person account of the female experience in the early years of the Mexican Revolution and unique in their presentation of events from a child's perspective.

En, desde y hacia las américas . Músicas y migraciones transoceánicas

Autor: Belén Vega Pichaco

Número de Páginas: 798

Los continuos flujos migratorios en, desde y hacia el continente americano constituyen uno de los fenómenos que más repercusión ha tenido en el devenir musical de los diferentes países que conforman las Américas. La música, con representaciones múltiples y como protagonista en condiciones migratorias transoceánicas, viajó a distintos contextos y estableció relaciones en torno a ejes transversales que requieren para su abordaje de diferentes aproximaciones metodológicas y una mirada amplia, más allá de fronteras geopolíticas. El presente volumen, que reúne una selección de textos en castellano, portugués, inglés y francés de investigadores de América Latina, Europa y Estados Unidos, representa una muestra del potencial de los estudios migratorios americanos dentro del panorama musicológico contemporáneo. Aspiramos, con él, a que el lector no solo se interese por la narrativa y el plano discursivo de los textos individuales, sino que despierte también su interés por escuchar lo que cada una de las secciones sugiere: desde las prácticas musicales de la América colonial hasta las músicas populares actuales, pasando por la canción, el teatro musical y las...

Papalotero

Autor: Martin Boyd

Teresa Jones’s dreams of flying contrast sharply with her dreary, earthbound life working as a filing-clerk in a CD store, and suffering the constant nagging of her academic parents, who are outraged at her stubborn refusal to go to college. Her best friend – the popular, successful and apparently happy college freshman Elena Kravchuk – has the perfect prescription for Teresa’s depression: she needs to get laid. When the two girls meet Miguel Angel Ramirez, a misfit Mexican immigrant who builds and flies kites for a living, Elena goes to work as match-maker to bring him together for a casual fling with her socially awkward, chronically depressed best friend. But rather than providing a one night stand, this papalotero will transform the lives of both girls in ways that neither one bargained for: Elena will confront the truth that her life is not as perfect as she so desperately wants people to believe it is, while Teresa will be challenged to give up her low self-esteem and Life Sucks t-shirts, and discover that the happiness she thinks is out of her reach might actually be just one small leap of faith away.

La Morenita

Autor: Guadalupe Cordoba

Número de Páginas: 148

Success-it's something everyone hopes for but few have the fortitude and endurance necessary to achieve it, especially when confronted by one adversity after another. Lupe Cordoba knows that hard work and determination are the traits necessary to achieve success, and she used these strong personal qualities to rise to her position as a nationally acclaimed restaurateur. Cordoba seemed to encounter nothing but hardships and obstacles throughout her life, and in La Morenita: The Story of Lupe Cordoba, she candidly illustrates how her life developed from an idyllic childhood in a small Mexican town to the collapse of her marriage after succeeding in reaching America with her three small children. Perseverance and clever thinking carried Cordoba from the plight of sleeping in her car to opening her first restaurant to preparing hors d'oeuvres for a party for President Clinton. While conveying her talent for balancing romance, motherhood, and business in her life, Cordoba offers frank advice for others in her position and presents intimate portraits of her family and friends and the lives they endured to reach their current plateau. La Morenita delivers the compelling story of one...

Sofia

Autor: Joan Logghe

Número de Páginas: 105

Joan Logghe's series of poems works like a small novel to reveal the life of an Hispanic Catholic woman with Sephardic Jewish roots. These poems "came" to the author from that place where inspiration and collective memory converge. Burning with compassionate candlelight, Logghe's admired imagery weaves a delicate narrative of strength and appreciation. The series draws on stories and lives of actual women, the author's own life in the Espanola Valley for 25 years, and is dedicated to the Goddess of Wisdom alive in every woman.

Sobre el libro El libro es una propuesta literaria, encaminada a visibilizar la perspectiva de género. Dentro de los cuentos hay reflexiones con y sin esta herramienta, transcurren en diversas épocas, con historias reales o ficticias, sobresale el anhelo por lo perdido o aún no encontrado, sea el amor, la responsabilidad, la respuesta a las controversias en temas relevantes. Encuentros y desencuentros de los amantes o situaciones de crisis, de agonía, de violencia, la mayoría desde la perspectiva de las vidas de las mujeres en cuyas aristas se adivina un sello que separa y atrae a los protagonistas en una cotidianidad, que a veces pasa desapercibida. Por ello su rescate, análisis lúdico y a veces sensual para ofrecer al lector la posibilidad de reflexión sobre las situaciones que impiden o favorecen los cambios culturales, dado que estos moldean el comportamiento de los personajes, que en mucho se parecen a los de la vida real. The book is a literary proposal to make visible a gender perspective. Within the stories there are reflections with and without this tool, elapse at different times, with real or fictitious stories, stands out the yearning for the lost or still not...

Clemente

Número de Páginas: 416

En Clemente: la pasión y el donaire del ultimo héroe del béisbol, David Maraniss revive magistralmente al extraordinario deportista valiéndose de una narración de gran vuelo y de meticulosos detalles para captar, a un tiempo, al hombre y al mito. El último día de 1972, después de dieciocho magníficas temporadas en las grandes ligas, Roberto Clemente murió como un héroe al estrellarse el avión en que llevaba alimentos y suministros médicos a Nicaragua luego de un devastador terremoto. Cualquiera que vio jugar a Clemente, nunca podría olvidarlo: era una obra de arte en un juego que con demasiada frecuencia se define por las estadísticas. Durante su carrera con los Piratas de Pittsburg, ganó cuatro títulos de bateo y llevó a su equipo a los campeonatos de 1960 y 1971. Su carrera concluyó con tres mil hits, y él y Lou Gehrig son los únicos jugadores en la historia del béisbol cuya consagración en el Pabellón de la Fama no tomó en cuenta los tradicionales cinco años de espera. Pero Roberto Clemente fue un atleta singular que transcendió el ámbito de los deportes para convertirse en un símbolo de causas mayores. Nacido en Carolina, Puerto Rico, en 1934, una...

Número de Páginas: 320

The exhausted Union cavalry company under the command of Col. Philip Creighton arrives at Howard Hill plantation where they find five frightened women living alone. Philip informs Caroline Howard, the widowed mistress of the plantation, that they are confiscating her home for a few days of rest. But those few days stretch into the nearly- ten month siege of Petersburg, Virginia. Watching Caroline cope with the stress of constant bombardments of the nearby city, the endless numbers of Union wounded arriving daily, and a mother-in-law who is slowly going mad, Philip feels compelled to provide her with sorely-needed food and necessities, as well as seeing to her safety from his own men. Shortly thereafter, he is seriously wounded, nearly fulfilling his wish to die in battle. Through Carolines care, he learns to trust again and at last finds all hes been seeking in life. After recovering his health, Philip again sees action where he suffers a severe concussion that leaves him temporarily blind. This blindness forces him to acknowledge at last his feelings for Caroline Howard. His war experiences transform Philip from bitter disillusionment to a completely different perspective of his...
