The Poem of Fernán González

Resumen del Libro

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.

Libro La línea que come de tu mano

Algo pasa en nuestra sociedad cuando palabras como producto, consumo o rentabilidad son parte de la definición de literatura. Ramón Acín reflexiona sobre este cambio sociocultural de percepción y sensibilidad artística que ha desembocado en una literatura del no-conocimiento, en la búsqueda del placer a través del entendimiento sin profundidad.

Topografía de lo insólito

Libro Topografía de lo insólito

Durante el siglo XIX el alma romántica, en la cercanía del espíritu positivista, produjo nuevas formas de figurar el mundo, formas contradictorias pero plenas de hallazgos mecánicos y literarios. En esta obra la autora reflexiona sobre la maquinaria práctica y el andamiaje intelectual de los primeros ilusionistas y sus conexiones con un puñado de autores que transformaron la sensibilidad poética de la cultura occidental: Nerval, Balzac, Mallarmé y Rimbaud.
