The Poem of Fernán González

Resumen del Ebook

Libro The Poem of Fernán González

Fernan Gonzalez lived from about AD 910 to 970. The popular image of him is of a fearsome warrior who gave his people protection from their enemies (both Muslim and Christian), and a wise and respected lord who enabled them to live in security and harmony. He was generally accepted to have played a strategic role in achieving independence for Castile and freeing it from dominance by the kingdom of Leon. The Poema de Fernan Gonzalez was composed (by an unknown author) in the mid-thirteenth century as an enduring celebration of his triumphs and account of his life and deeds. Fact and legend have become intertwined and there is much within its stanzas that is certainly not closely based on historic facts! This new translation is set against a detailed study of the historic context of the Castillian conflicts and a factual account of the life and achievements of Fernan Gonzalez. The political situation of the time in which the poem was composed is also considered, as is the manner in which the 'history' it espouses came to be handed down over three centuries, the possibility of a pre-existing rich oral tradition surrounding this iconic figure, and the possible sources employed by the poet in constructing the poem.

Cartografías cosmopolitas

Libro Cartografías cosmopolitas

Cartografías cosmopolitas: León de Greiff y la tradición literaria analyzes the poetic works of this twentieth-century Colombian writer as a manifestation of cosmopolitanism, global cultural cartographies, and a self-fashioned poetic genealogy. Ramírez Rojas approaches de Greiff’s poems as cultural maps that reveal both a desire of connectivity with the world and a need for reorganizing the imaginary library of world literature. From a self-assumed position of eccentricity, de Greiff builds a network of global connections and disputes the binary division of cultural centers and...

El día de Ir y Venir

Libro El día de Ir y Venir

The book refers to a time when people were still connected and live in harmony with nature. It is a history of nomads, tribes, and holidays to celebrate that everything flows, that everything can be seen as energy in motion, and that everything is continually changing. The text is written in poetic prose and the illustrations are dynamic and full of details and vivid colors. El libro ha nacido de la experiencia conjunta del autor y la ilustradora, pero no habla directamente de danza, sino que nos remite al tiempo en el que las personas todav�a estaban conectadas y viv�an en armon�a con...
