Описание: Laudada como una obra centra de la literatura latinoamericana, esta novela asombrosa, de una de las m s prominentes mujeres de letras de Puerto Rico, es a la vez una rebosante saga multigeneracional y una historia m gica de la isla. En una hermosa mansi n con vista a la laguna de Alamares, Isabel Montfort est escribiendo la cr nica de su familia. Es un relato de aventura e intriga, de inmigrantes espa oles y corsos, de esclavos africanos, de pol tica sexual y de luchas pol ticas, de maridos autoritarios y esposas que ingeniosamente subvierten esa autoridad. Pero Quint n Mendiz bal, el marido de Isabel, ha descubierto su manuscrito y se propone contrarrestarlo con su propia versi n de los hechos. Del combate entre sus historias conyugales Rosario Ferr crea una poderosa y astutamente c mica meditaci n sobre la manera en que construimos la verdad--la de nuestra familia, la de nuestros pa ses y la de nuestras propias vidas. La casa de la laguna es una novela llena de encanto e invenci n, poblada por personajes de una gran vitalidad.

Описание: Este libro es un intento para probar la autenticidad de los relatos del Libro de Mormуn, basado en la historia y evidencia que nos ofrecen las mбs antiguas culturas o civilizaciones que se desarrollaron en este continente. De esa manera inicio mi estudio en el arribo de los pueblos descendientes de Lehi los llamados Lamanitas y Nefitas, su peregrinar, su desarrollo espiritual, su esplendor y caнda a travйs de su recorrido en toda Amйrica. Y descubro en los relatos de nuestra historia indнgena que existen testimonios claros y precisos de la llegada de Lehi, de la separaciуn de sus hijos, de sus construcciones de ciudades, de sus edificios, monumentos, cultura y civilizaciуn de esos pueblos, unidos histуricamente por otros dos pueblos los Mulekitas y los Jareditas, que son relatados en El Libro de Mormуn, y que tambiйn encuentro evidencias y relatos genuinos de su existencia en Amйrica precolombina dos mil aсos antes de Cristo. Por tanto recojo tres mil aсos de los relatos que nos ofrece el libro, con tres mil aсos de la historia indнgena prehispбnica de Amйrica.

The Mexican folkways described in this monograph, of scientific interest to anthropologists, will fascinate laypeople as well. Isabel Kelly collected these notes in the 1950s, as a diversion when official field work was not feasible, in the vicinity of Torreón and particularly in the nearby village of El Cuije, in northern Mexico. She recounts folk customs and habits, focusing on beliefs and practices related to health and healing and on notions concerning magic. These form, Kelly believes, a core of folk culture which has survived tenaciously in the rural areas and on the outskirts of the cities, among mestizo families of scant education and limited economic resources.
These people are well acquainted with simple, matter-of-fact illnesses which result from natural causes and which respond to treatment by herbal and other home remedies or by modern medicines. But they also recognize the evil eye and the emotional upset known as “fright.” They are thoroughly familiar with the ever-present danger of ailments which are not “natural” and God-sent, but which are deliberately inflicted by an enemy, through the artifice of a sorcerer or a spiritualist. Such “instigated” illnesses may take any form, from a cold in the head to a false pregnancy. If a person suspects that poor health results from such malevolence, he or she spurns Western medicine and looks instead to the witch or to the spiritualist as the only hope of a cure.
El Cuije pays an annual quota from community funds to make available modern health services provided by the government. But community funds are similarly drawn upon to provide “medical” attention for those who repair to the sorcerers. Once a week the village truck takes all presumed witchcraft victims to a nearby town, where they receive clinical treatment from professional sorcerers.
Kelly sees little that is genuinely indigenous in the beliefs and practices described; many of them demonstrably result from infiltration from the Old World in the years following the Spanish Conquest. She considers spiritualistic curing—important in northern Mexico and many other parts of Latin America—in some detail, but the specific outlines of its history in northern Mexico still awaited clarification at the time of her research.

Описание:
"Lifeguarding Laguna" offers in rich visual detail the 90-year history, ecommunity culture, and integral role as the Department of Marine Safety--a Public Safety Agency of the City of Laguna Beach. "Lifeguarding Laguna" takes the reader from a series of highly competitive preliminary qualifying tests, to the physically demanding in-service boot-camp training that opens the door to this exciting, colorful, and sometimes dangerous ocean lifeguard's job of protecting Laguna's beach-going public under frequently hazardous and often dangerous conditions.
Описание: Studies that connect the Spanish 17th and 20th centuries usually do so through a conservative lens, assuming that the blunt imperialism of the early modern age, endlessly glorified by Franco’s dictatorship, was a constant in the Spanish imaginary. This book, by contrast, recuperates the thriving, humanistic vision of the Golden Age celebrated by Spanish progressive thinkers, writers, and artists in the decades prior to 1939 and the Francoist Regime. The hybrid, modern stance of the country in the 1920s and early 1930s would uniquely incorporate the literary and political legacies of the Spanish Renaissance into the ambitious design of a forward, democratic future.
In exploring the complex understanding of the multifaceted event that is modernity, the life story and literary opus of Miguel de Cervantes (1547-1616) acquires a new significance, given the weight of the author in the poetic and political endeavors of those Spanish left-wing reformists who believed they could shape a new Spanish society. By recovering their progressive dream, buried for almost a century, of incipient and full Spanish modernities, Ana Maria G. Laguna establishes a more balanced understanding of both the modern and early modern periods and casts doubt on the idea of a persistent conservatism in Golden Age literature and studies. This book ultimately serves as a vigorous defense of the canonical as well as the neglected critical traditions that promoted Cervantes’s humanism in the 20th century.
