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.

El libro est� compuesto por un conjunto de nueve cartas que B�cquer escribi� durante su estancia en el Monasterio de Veruela, donde se refugi� para reponerse de la tuberculosis que le afectaba, y que se publicaron individualmente en el peri�dico madrile�o El Contempor�neo a lo largo de 1864. Es una obra maestra del periodismo espa�ol del siglo XIX. A pesar de esta dram�tica enfermedad, incurable en aquel momento, el tono de estos escritos desborda vitalidad. Las descripciones de la naturaleza y del paisaje son excelentes. La tem�tica de las cartas es muy variada y son muy entretenidas e interesantes, a pesar de que han transcurrido 150 a�os desde que se escribieron.

The late Romantic poet Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer is considered one of the first modern Spanish poets. His ‘Rimas’ (Rhymes) are celebrated for their sensitive, restrained and deeply subjective quality. Bécquer’s poetry tackles themes of love, disillusionment and loneliness, while exploring the mysteries of life and poetry. In contrast to the rhetorical and dramatic style of the Romantic period, Bécquer’s lyricism, in which assonance predominates, is simple and airy. The Delphi Poets Series offers readers the works of literature’s finest poets, with superior formatting. This volume presents Bécquer’s collected works, with related illustrations and the usual Delphi bonus material.

Octavio Paz launches a far-ranging excursion into the "incestuous and tempestuous" relations between modern poetry and the modern epoch. From the perspective of a Spanish-American and a poet, he explores the opposite meanings that the word "modern" has held for poets and philosophers, artists, and scientists. Tracing the beginnings of the modern poetry movement to the pre-Romantics, Paz outlines its course as a contradictory dialogue between the poetry of the Romance and Germanic languages. He discusses at length the unique character of Anglo-American "modernism" within the avant-garde movement, and especially vis- -vis French and Spanish-American poetry. Finally he offers a critique of our era's attitude toward the concept of time, affirming that we are at the "twilight of the idea of the future." He proposes that we are living at the end of the avant-garde, the end of that vision of the world and of art born with the first Romantics.

Open Veins of Latin America

ISBN: 0853459916

Since its U.S. debut a quarter-century ago, this brilliant text has set a new standard for historical scholarship of Latin America. It is also an outstanding political economy, a social and cultural narrative of the highest quality, and perhaps the finest description of primitive capital accumulation since Marx. Rather than chronology, geography, or political successions, Eduardo Galeano has organized the various facets of Latin American history according to the patterns of five centuries of exploitation. Thus he is concerned with gold and silver, cacao and cotton, rubber and coffee, fruit, hides and wool, petroleum, iron, nickel, manganese, copper, aluminum ore, nitrates, and tin. These are the veins which he traces through the body of the entire continent, up to the Rio Grande and throughout the Caribbean, and all the way to their open ends where they empty into the coffers of wealth in the United States and Europe. Weaving fact and imagery into a rich tapestry, Galeano fuses scientific analysis with the passions of a plundered and suffering people. An immense gathering of materials is framed with a vigorous style that never falters in its command of themes. All readers interested in great historical, economic, political, and social writing will find a singular analytical achievement, and an overwhelming narrative that makes history speak, unforgettably. This classic is now further honored by Isabel Allende's inspiring introduction. Universally recognized as one of the most important writers of our time, Allende once again contributes her talents to literature, to political principles, and to enlightenment.
