Download or read book Peregrino written by Ron Austin and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2010-12-21 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ron Austin first wandered purposefully into Mexico more than fifty years ago, when he produced a documentary on Mexican history for American television. Over the next decades, as his acquaintance with Mexico deepened, so too did his appreciation for the rich and contradictory impulses of Mexican culture and for the beauty of its people and their expressions of faith. At once guidebook, history, memoir, and tribute, Austin s Peregrino engagingly explores the spiritual and cultural heart of Catholic Mexico. Though once merely a tourist peering in a stranger to this distinctive faith and culture Austin, now a devout Catholic and part-year resident of Mexico, writes with respect, affection, and deep understanding as he invites fellow pilgrims peregrinos to regard both Mexico and their own cultures of faith in a new light.

Download or read book The Reptant Eagle written by Roberto Cantú and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2015-01-12 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carlos Fuentes (1928–2012) was the most prominent novelist in contemporary Mexico and, until his recent death, one of the leading voices in Latin America’s Boom generation. He received the most prestigious awards and prizes in the world, including the Latin Civilization Award (presented by the Presidents of Brazil, Mexico, and France), the Miguel de Cervantes Prize, and the Prince of Asturias Award. During his fecund and accomplished life as a writer, literary theorist, and political analyst, Fuentes turned his attention to the major conflicts of the twentieth century – from the Second World War and the Cuban Revolution, to the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia, the war in Vietnam, and the post-revolutionary crisis of the one-party rule in Mexico – and attended to their political and international importance in his novels, short fiction, and essays. Known for his experimentation in narrative techniques, and for novels and essays written in a global range that illuminate the conflicts of our times, Fuentes’s writings have been rightfully translated into most of the world’s languages. His literary work continues to spur and provoke the interest of a global readership on diverse civilizations and eras, from Imperial Spain and post-revolutionary France, to Ancient and Modern Mexico, the United States, and Latin America. The Reptant Eagle: Essays on Carlos Fuentes and the Art of the Novel includes nineteen essays and one full introduction written exclusively for this volume by renowned Fuentes scholars from Asia, Europe, the United States, and Latin America. Collected into five parts, the essays integrate wide-ranging methods and innovative readings of The Death of Artemio Cruz (1962), Aura (1962), Terra Nostra (1975) and, among other novels, Distant Relations (1980); they analyze the visual arts in Fuentes’s novels (Diego Rivera’s murals and world film); chart and comment on the translations of Fuentes’s narratives into Japanese and Romanian; and propose comprehensive readings of The Buried Mirror (1992) and Personas (2012), Fuentes’s posthumous book of essays. Beyond their comprehensive and interdisciplinary scope, the book’s essays trace Fuentes’s conscious resolve to contribute to the art of the novel and to its uninterrupted tradition, from Cervantes and Rabelais to Thomas Mann and Alejo Carpentier, and from the Boom generation to Latin America’s “Boomerang” group of younger writers. This book will be of importance to literary critics, teachers, students, and readers interested in Carlos Fuentes’s world-embracing literary work.

Prepárate para la clase de historia más emocionante de todos los tiempos con Rush Revere y los peregrinos valientes. ¡Conoce al gran amigo de Rush Limbaugh: Rush Revere! Está bien, está bien, mi nombre en realidad es Rusty—pero mis amigos me llaman Rush—. Rush Revere. Porque siempre he sido el fan número uno del tipo colonial más cool de todos los tiempos, Paul Revere. ¡Qué estrella de rock! Tanto quiso proteger al joven Estados Unidos que cabalgó por aquellas calles adoquinadas y disparejas gritando: “¡Vienen los británicos!”. Arriba de un caballo. A todo pulmón. El viento soplando, una lluvia torrencial... Bueno, te lo puedes imaginar. Pero, ¿qué tal si pudieses ver la imagen real, volviendo atrás en el tiempo y observando con tus propios ojos cómo se creó nuestro gran país? ¿Conociendo la gente que lo hizo posible —personas como tú y yo? ¡Agárrate de tu sombrero triangular puntiagudo porque lo puedes hacer —conmigo, Rush Revere, un aparentemente normal maestro sustituto de historia, como tu guía turístico a través del tiempo! “¿Cómo?” preguntas. Bueno, hay un portal. Y un caballo. Mi caballo que habla llamado Libertad. Y, pues, confía en mí, lograré que lleguemos allí. Comenzaremos acompañando a una barcada de familias valientes viajando en el Mayflower en 1620. ¿Aburrido? No lo creo. El año 1620 fue bastante fenomenal, y experimentarás exactamente lo que ellos hicieron en esa difícil y peligrosa travesía por el océano. Juntos, les haremos a los peregrinos todas nuestras preguntas, descubriremos cómo viven y los acompañaremos durante el primer Día de Acción de Gracias, y mucho más. ¡Así que ensilla tu caballo y cabalguemos! Nuestra nación excepcional está esperando ser descubierta de nuevo por excepcionales patriotas jóvenes, ¡como tú!

Download or read book The Camino de Santiago in the 21st Century written by Samuel Sánchez y Sánchez and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-08-11 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Spanish Camino de Santiago, a pilgrimage rooted in the Medieval period and increasingly active today, has attracted a growing amount of both scholarly and popular attention. With its multiple points of departure in Spain and other European countries, its simultaneously secular and religious nature, and its international and transhistorical population of pilgrims, this particular pilgrimage naturally invites a wide range of intellectual inquiry and scholarly perspectives. This volume fills a gap in current pilgrimage studies, focusing on contemporary representations of the Camino de Santiago. Complementing existing studies of the Camino’s medieval origins, it situates the Camino as a modern experience and engages interdisciplinary perspectives to present a theoretical framework for exploring the most central issues that concern scholars of pilgrimage studies today. Contributors explore the contemporary meaning of the Camino through an interdisciplinary lens that reflects the increasing permeability between academic disciplines and fields, bringing together a wide range of theoretical and critical perspectives (cultural studies, literary studies, globalization studies, memory studies, ethnic studies, postcolonial studies, cultural geographies, photography, and material culture). Chapters touch on a variety of genres (blogs, film, graphic novels, historical novels, objects, and travel guides), and transnational perspectives (Australia, the Arab world, England, Spain, and the United States).
