Description/Notes
Este interesante libro, que resultar? especialmente valioso para los profesores y estudiantes de literatura en lengua espa?ola, incluye diecisiete relatos de distintos autores, nacidos en distintas ?pocas y en diferentes pa?ses del Caribe, Am?rica Central y Sudam?rica. En efecto, estas narraciones fueron publicadas originalmente en un amplio rango de tiempo que se extiende desde el ?ltimo cuarto del siglo diecinueve hasta el primer cuarto del siglo veinte. La selecci?n de los autores y relatos ha sido muy cuidadosa y contienen a algunos de los autores m?s notables y representativos de la literatura hispanoamericana, incluyendo a Rub?n Dar?o, Jos? Mart?, Amado Nervo, R?mulo Gallegos y Ricardo Palma, entre otros. Esta edici?n en lenguas espa?ola e inglesa tambi?n incluye una introducci?n y notas a pie de p?gina que aportan valiosa informaci?n sobre cada relato y sus autores. Seventeen stories from the Caribbean and Central and South America encompass a tremendous variety of subjects, settings, moods, and styles--from worldly sophistication to outright savagery. Ranging in publication dates from 1867 to 1922, each story is by a different writer, with a different national origin from the others in this collection. All authors are well-known names in Spanish literature (e.g. Ruben Dar?o, Jos? Mart?, Amado Nervo, R?mulo Gallegos, and Ricardo Palma), making this compilation equally appealing to readers in and out of the classroom. These 17 stories from the Caribbean and Central and South America encompass a tremendous variety of subjects, settings, moods, and styles, and range in publication dates from 1867 to 1922. Each story is by a different writer, with a different national origin from the others. All are well-known names in Spanish-American literature, including Ruben Dario, Jose Marti, Amado Nervo, Romulo Gallegos, and Ricardo Palma. This dual-language edition features an informative introduction and ample footnotes, making it not only a pleasure to read but also a valuable educational aid for students and teachers of Spanish literature.
