Sin Trompo de Poner es un libro original que atrapa al lector... Desde el título, Paul Paniagua nos penetra en un espacio lúdico, inspirado en lo en los juegos de trompos. Para el autor, el texto es una metáfora de la vida... Estos textos hiperbreves no se pueden leer con el ceño fruncido, sino con una amplia sonrisa. El autor se inspira en la toalla del baño, a la que denuncia públicamente por ser infiel. Por otro lado, el inodoro sufre y acepta estoicamente su destino. Los textos de Paniagua indagan lo más simple de la humanidad, descubriendo misterios y mirando la vida con una óptica diferente. Así, los escritos de Paul Paniagua, subliman el espíritu, conquistan la alegría, y nos hacen ver la vida con humor y optimismo. Mara L. García.

Desde hace tiempo, tenía deseos de escribir algo interesante y narrar mis sueños, vivencias y experiencias. El haber logrado lo anterior, no ha sido fácil por ello admiro a los literatos. Dicen que el trabajo es empezar, aunque vayas escribiendo para algunas personas puras pendejadas, pero no se atreven. Lo que hago es con alegría y entusiasmo para compartirlo con los amantes de la lectura. Es diferente y original, para dejarle al lector buen sabor de boca y si deja mensaje tanto mejor. A través de estas páginas, toco temas históricos y costumbres de mi amado México. Encontraran anécdotas, parte de mi lírica, albures, cuentos y canciones; destacando los episodios de mi loca y fantasiosa mente. Tratare de llevar una escritura acorde a los temas y si caigo en lo vulgar, son cosas del vulgo, pero sin ganas de ofender. Usare un lenguaje culto y pícaro, cuando las circunstancias así lo requieran. Si lo hiciera diferente se perdería lo jocoso y no es la idea... ¡Aunque la patria no me lo demande!, pobre patria como la chingamos. Pero sigue erecta y bella. A continuación quiero dedicar un poema, a todo el que tenga el valor de comprar el libro y a los que no... ¡También!, pues aunque son gorrones, tienen derecho a conocer novedades literarias, que de algo han de servir. "Pobre patria mía, como la han chingado"

ISBN: 9780521207638

This study considers the ways Spanish American and Brazilian poets differ from their European counterparts by considering 'Latin American' as more than a perfunctory epithet. It sets the orthodox Latin tradition of the subcontinent against others that have survived or grown up after the conquest then pays attention to those poets who, from Independence, have striven to express a specifically American moral and geographical identity. Dr Brotherson focuses on Modernismo, or the 'coming of age' of poetry in Spanish America and Brazil, and the importance of the movements associated with it. He considers César Vallejo and Pablo Neruda, probably the greatest of the selection, Octavio Paz, and modern poets who have reacted differently to the idea that Latin America might now be thought to have not just a geographical but a nascent political identity of its own. Poems are liberally quoted, and treated as entities in their own right.

Pragmatics, often defined as the study of language use and language users, sets out to explain what people wish to achieve and how they go about achieving it in using language. Such a study is clearly of direct relevance to an understanding of translation and translators. The thirteen chapters in this volume show how translation - skill, art, process and product - is affected by pragmatic factors such as the acts performed by people when they use language, how writers try to be polite, relevant and cooperative, the distinctions they make between what their readers may already know and what is likely to be new to them, what is presupposed and what is openly affirmed, time and space, how they refer to things and make their discourse coherent, how issues may be hedged or attempts made to produce in readers of the translation effects equivalent to those stimulated in readers of the original. Particular attention is paid to legal, political, humorous, poetic and other literary texts.

In this volume thirty-six scientists from Latin American and the United States contribute substantially to our knowledge of Latin American mammals. Part 1 provides a history of the pioneers in collection-based mammalogy, which began only about two centuries ago. Chapters in Part 2 demonstrate the search for theories and methodologies that will help us understand how the fauna of this region came to be. Part 3 addresses conservation policy and management in light of recent enormous changes in the natural habitats of Latin America. Part 4 explores the need for conservation-education programs in Latin America as a critical step in the development of a sound land-use ethic. The preface of Latin American Mammalogy, overviews of the four sections, and summaries of the twenty-three chapters are given in Spanish as well as English.
