The Golden Age (Spanish Edition) by José Martí Pdf
Para los niños es este periódico, y para las niñas, por supuesto. Sin las niñas no se puede vivir, como no puede vivir la tierra sin luz. El niño ha de trabajar, de andar, de estudiar, de ser fuerte, de ser hermoso: el niño puede hacerse hermoso aunque sea feo; un niño bueno, inteligente y aseado es siempre hermoso. Pero nunca es un niño más bello que cuando trae en sus manecitas de hombre fuerte una flor para su amiga, o cuando lleva del brazo a su hermana, para que nadie se la ofenda: el niño crece entonces, y parece un gigante: el niño nace para caballero, y la niña nace para madre. Este periódico se publica para conversar una vez al mes, como buenos amigos, con los caballeros de mañana, y con las madres de mañana; para contarles a las niñas cuentos lindos con que entretener a sus visitas y jugar con sus muñecas; y para decirles a los niños lo que deben saber para ser de veras hombres. Todo lo que quieran saber les vamos a decir, y de modo que lo entiendan bien, con palabras claras y con láminas finas. Les vamos a decir cómo está hecho el mundo: les vamos a contar todo lo que han hecho los hombres hasta ahora. Para eso se publica La Edad de Oro: para que los niños americanos sepan cómo se vivía antes, y se vive hoy, en América, y en las demás tierras; y cómo se hacen tantas cosas de cristal y de hierro, y las máquinas de vapor, y los puentes colgantes, y la luz eléctrica; para que cuando el niño vea una piedra de color sepa por qué tiene colores la piedra, y qué quiere decir cada color; para que el niño conozca los libros famosos donde se cuentan las batallas y las religiones de los pueblos antiguos. Les hablaremos de todo lo que se hace en los talleres, donde suceden cosas más raras e interesantes que en los cuentos de magia, y son magia de verdad, más linda que la otra: y les diremos lo que se sabe del cielo, y de lo hondo del mar y de la tierra: y les contaremos cuentos de risa y novelas de niños, para cuando hayan estudiado mucho, o jugado mucho, y quieran descansar. Para los niños trabajamos, porque los niños son los que saben querer, porque los niños son la esperanza del mundo. Y queremos que nos quieran, y nos vean como cosa de su corazón. - Taken from "The Golden Age (Spanish Edition): La Edad de Oro" written by José Martí

José Martí (1853-1895) is the most renowned political and literary figure in the history of Cuba. A poet, essayist, orator, statesman, abolitionist, and the martyred revolutionary leader of Cuba's fight for independence from Spain, Martí lived in exile in New York for most of his adult life, earning his living as a foreign correspondent. Throughout the 1880s and early 1890s, Martí's were the eyes through which much of Latin America saw the United States. His impassioned, kaleidoscopic evocations of that period in U.S. history, the assassination of James Garfield, the opening of the Brooklyn Bridge, the execution of the Chicago anarchists, the lynching of the Italians in New Orleans, and much more, bring it rushing back to life. Organized chronologically, this collection begins with his early writings, including a thundering account of his political imprisonment in Cuba at age sixteen. The middle section focuses on his journalism, which offers an image of the United States in the nineteenth century, its way of life and system of government, that rivals anything written by de Tocqueville, Dickens, Trollope, or any other European commentator. Including generous selections of his poetry and private notebooks, the book concludes with his astonishing, hallucinatory final masterpiece, "War Diaries", never before translated into English.

They are stories, essays and poetry that exemplarily show the humanism and idealism of Marti. The universality of human values reaches us through a wide spectrum of topics and times discussed. The Golden Age aims to incite in the little reader the search for knowledge, love and justice.

Writers of the Spanish Colonial Period by David William Foster,Daniel Altamiranda Pdf
"These critical studies propose innovative readings and overall reformulations of the texts and authors that stand as representative of the period for the contemporary reader. The first group of articles refers to reports, chronicles, and Renaissance epics, a vast block of texts that fall in most cases halfway between history and narrative fiction, and examine the experiences of the discovery, the conquest, and the colonization of the new territories. The second group concentrates on regionally marked texts from the Baroque period, especially those of the central figure of the Mexican nun poet and intellectual, Sor Juana In s de la Cruz. Finally, there are some essays on representative texts of the latter part of the colonial period."--Publisher's description.
This analytical history traces representations of flamenco dance in Spain and abroad from the twentieth century to the present, using histories, film, accounts of live performances, and practitioner interviews. Beginning with an analysis of flamenco historiography, the text examines images of the female dancer in films by Luis Buñuel, Carlos Saura, and Antonio Gades; stereotypes of flamenco bodies and Andalusian culture in Prosper Mérimée’s Carmen; and the ways in which contemporary flamenco dancers like Belén Maya and Rocío Molina negotiate the stereotype of Carmen and an idealized Spanish feminine that pervades “traditional” flamenco.

José Martí, Cuban Apostle by Cintio Vitier,Daisaku Ikeda Pdf
Once called 'the wellspring of the revolution' by Fidel Castro, Jose Marti (1853-1895) is revered as one of the greatest figures in the history of Cuba. Not only was he instrumental in the late nineteenth-century cause of securing Cuban independence from Spain. He is also considered one of Cuba's most brilliant writers, orators and formative intellectuals, who provided inspiration to the young Fidel, Che and their fellow revolutionaries by dedicating his whole life to the goal of national political emancipation. Jose Marti suffered persecution and early imprisonment for his convictions, and in consequence is often referred to as the 'Cuban Apostle'. In this wide-ranging discussion of Marti's life, work and influence, distinguished Cuban poet Cintio Vitier and prominent Buddhist leader Daisaku Ikeda explore their subject's understanding of non-violence; his nationalism that was also a profound openness to difference and dialogue; his spirituality; his poetical writings; and most of all his fundamental dignity, humanity and self-mastery. The book explores above all the nature of sacrifice, and the cost of relinquishing personal happiness for the sake of a great cause. The discussants examine Marti's family life, including his difficult relationships with his wife - Carmen Zayas Bazan - and his parents, who distanced themselves from his revolutionary fervour. Comparisons are drawn between Marti's ideals and Nichiren Buddhism as a source of unfailing hope and courage. As Daisaku Ikeda, follower of Nichiren, says at one point in the dialogue: 'Self-mastery is the hardest thing of all. But to have a spiritual nature worthy of the name, a person must overcome himself, a task that only a true optimist can accomplish. Marti's perspicacity is revealed in his conviction that final victory in life is assured by such optimists.' Marti, like Nichiren, had the unerring ability to turn enemies into friends. And as Cintio Vitier and Daisaku Ikeda reveal, what set Marti apart was not his thought or ideas alone but what emanated from his words and found embodiment in his actions. It was thus that a follower at the time could say of him: we don't understand him, but we are ready to die for him.

Imagination, Emblems, and Expressions by Helen Ryan-Ranson Pdf
Twenty-four essays take diverse approaches (thematic, feminist, historicist, cultural materialist, etc.) to the theme of culture (including its expression in literature, art, mass media, etc.) and identity (self, regional, or national) in Latin America (five essays), the Caribbean (ten essays) and Europe (nine essays). Paper edition (unseen), $16.95. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
Jose Marti, Cuban national hero, was one of Latin America's most influential litereary and political figures. There is currently no introductory overview to his complex body of works. Jose Marti: An Introduction offers such an introduction to Marti's most pertinent, enduring ideas, exploring his writing on race, gender, the relationship between Cuba and the US, and issues of displacement and bilingualism. The writing is accessible on the undergraduate level, yet Montero does not oversimplify ambiguities and contradictions of Marti's work and life.
