The "Chronicle of the Cid" offers a profound glimpse into the life and exploits of Rodrigo Daz de Vivar, a legendary figure of Spanish history, who is often referred to as El Cid. Written in the medieval tradition, this narrative embodies the ethos of chivalry while intertwining historical events with an almost mythic quality. Through a mix of prose and verse, the text adeptly captures the complexities of loyalty, honor, and the socio-political landscape of 11th-century Spain, where Reconquista tensions and the interplay between Christians and Moors are vividly portrayed. The work stands as a testament to the rich oral storytelling traditions of the time and is crucial in understanding the cultural fabric of medieval Iberia. The author, shrouded in anonymity, likely wrote during a period when many were fascinated by heroic narratives of figures like El Cid, drawing upon historical accounts and folklore to create a compelling narrative that resonated with the values and aspirations of contemporary society. This blend of fact and legend may reflect a longing for unity and national identity during a fragmented historical epoch. For readers interested in the intersection of history and literature, the "Chronicle of the Cid" is an indispensable work that transcends its temporal origins. It invites reflection on themes of heroism, identity, and the enduring struggle for justice, making it a profound and enriching read for scholars, students, and enthusiasts of traditional epic tales.

Clarel: A Poem and Pilgrimage in the Holy Land is an American epic poem by Herman Melville, published in two volumes in 1876. Clarel is the longest poem in American literature, stretching to almost 18,000 lines (longer even than European classics such as the Iliad, Aeneid and Paradise Lost). As well its great length, Clarel is notable for being the major work of Melvilles later years; in the three decades between The Confidence Man (1857) and Billy Budd (begun in 1888), Melville devoted himself solely to writing poetry, with Clarel and the short American Civil War collection, Battle Pieces, being his most significant achievements.

Se publican en este volumen los libros XVII y XVIII del tomo cuarto de los Comentarios de erudición del maestro Bartolomé Jiménez Patón, el único que ha llegado a nosotros. Continuamos así la serie, cuyo primer tomo comprende la introduccion general y el libro XVI, que culminara con los libros XIX y XX que cierran dicho tomo cuarto. Estos dos libros, XVII y XVIII, se dedican a cuestiones diversas: el primero a Salamanca y a la sabiduria en general, por lo que se plantean cuestiones relativas a la universidad que se mezclan con unas canciones sobre las Lamentaciones de Jeremias, los Avisos de Isocrates o las sentencias de Varron. El segundo libro se dedica a Galicia, Leon y Burgos, y en el aparece la traduccion y comento de la satira decima de Juvenal. Todo ello mezclado con multitud de cuestiones, como la existencia y los tipos de demonios, los canones del Concilio de Trento, el cambio de sexo de un peregrino o el caso veridico de una mujer que mato a su marido. Porque la variedad y la amena erudicion es el principio que anima estos Comentarios.

Edición de lujo de Coplas por la muerte de su padre con un maravilloso trabajo gráfico de Antonio Santos y con diseño del estudio de Pep Carrió."Las Coplas hablan al corazón y lo hacen sobre la muerte, desde luego, que es precisamente el momento mas pleno y decisivo, el compendio y climax de toda vida: la mia, la tuya, la suya, la de todos y cada uno de nosotros, de vosotros y de ellos y ellas. Y las Coplas contienen un recorrido moral pero tambien historico, plastico y hasta costumbrista por el humano devenir." Cuando un pintor e ilustrador del nivel, originalidad y creatividad de Antonio Santos acomete el reto de ilustrar las Coplas po la muerte de su padre, comprendo que el manantial de Manrique sigue siendo feraz e inagotable. Por eso, como un soplo de aire fresco, se acoge este nuevo enfoque y tratamiento que Antonio Santos ha sabido dar al tema: color, hieratica frescura en el deliberado limite de lo naif, hondura sin afectacion, emocion no sobreactuada.Del prologo de Jose Manuel Ortega

Dador es un libro de poemas que publicó José Lezama Lima en 1960. Tras un silencio de más de diez años, Lezama reaparece en su Habana natal, con este libro. Aquí la poesía y el esfuerzo del poeta se presentan como una especie de don. Aqui el dador, la persona dotada de la gracia de la creacion, interviene en un mundo cuyas reglas son tambien poeticas.En esta nueva etapa, el poeta asume un nuevo papel: el de Dador, el que entrega. Si antes era el poeta el que procuraba poseer, ahora sucede el proceso inverso. El poeta ofrece otra belleza que no reside precisamente en el fluir. Mas bien se manifiesta en una especie de aspereza en el transito de las imagenes, dadas por su caracter no contemplativo sino transformador.Dador es uno de los atributos del Espiritu Santo, Dador de las felicidades, de la sobrenaturaleza. Tambien el poeta es Dador del acceso a la plenitud de la imagen. Lezama vive un momento de ilusion en un mundo en que, segun sus creencias, la resurreccion se consigue mediante la poesia.Esta vision circular de la poesia, la creacion literaria, y el arte se despliega en episodios de prosa poetica erotizada como el siguiente:Aparecen tres mesas ocupadas por tres adolescentes con mascaras doradas. En la primera mesa, mitad morado y mitad amarillo muy apagados, cada una de las tres figuras estan fuertemente adormecidas. A los pasos de danza, cada uno de los enmascarados sucesivamente baila alrededor de su mesa, y despues, describiendo semicirculos y rapidas lineas, va desfilando por las otras dos mesas. Los de la segunda mesa pueden vestir un azul fosforescente con un rojo de fruta tropical roja. Los de la tercera mesa, blanco y un color intermedio, verde de hoja lloviznada, tal vez. Detras de las tres mesas, cuatro figuras mayores en armaduras. La primera figura, todas han de ser de hermosa estatura, como las mesas se presuponen ocupadas por gentilidad y adolescencia, muestra una armadura pesada y lentisima, comenzando a danzar entre las tres restantes figuras del segundo termino. Los enmascarados que ocupaban las primeras mesas se han vuelto a adormecer.Dador, con sus poemas en prosa y verso parece seguir un ritual. En este libro se percibe otro vigor en la lirica de Lezama Lima. Se tiene la sensacion de estar asistiendo a una liturgia cuyas leyes son las de la propia poesia.

Lo primero que aparece en este libro es que no tiene una unidad de contenido, porque trata diversos temas muy diferentes entre sí. Tienen todos ellos una cosa en común: haber sido expuestos en el mismo foro con algun intervalo de tiempo. Esta dividido en tres partes. La primera, trata de dos asuntos: uno el referido a Hipatia, por la polemica que se desato con el estreno de la pelicula Agora de Amenabar y el segundo, que respondio a una interpelacion hecha en el foro para que nos ocuparamos de la biografia del Padre Claret. La segunda parte tiene una unidad de contenido mucho mayor, porque en ella solamente hay un asunto, aunque este dividido en dos articulos, que es el fundamentalismo islamico. En el primero se refiere al nacimiento y expansion de Al Qaeda y el segundo es una reflexion sobre el 11M. Finalmente, la tercera parte se dedica a un tema del que se ha escrito relativamente poco: el la aparicion de los diversos cuerpos de policia en España a traves de su historia, aunque se centre la atencion en el siglo XIX. Esperemos haber acertado en la eleccion y conectar asi con el interes de nuestros lectores.

Don Juan is a satiric poem by Lord Byron, based on the legend of Don Juan, which Byron reverses, portraying Juan not as a womanizer but as someone easily seduced by women. As a young man he is precocious sexually, and has an affair with a friend of his mother. The husband finds out, and Don Juan is sent away to Cadiz. On the way, he is shipwrecked, survives and meets the daughter of a pirate, whose men sell Don Juan as a slave. A young woman, who is a member of a sultans harem, sees that this slave is purchased. She disguises him as a girl and sneaks him into her chambers. Don Juan escapes, joins the Russian army and rescues a Muslim girl named Leila. Don Juan meets Catherine the Great, who asks him to join her court. Don Juan becomes sick, is sent to England, where he finds someone to watch over Leila. Moving from one place to the next, Don Juan encounters new women and new adventures.

In "Don Juan," Lord Byron employs a satirical narrative style, blending humor and eloquence to critique societal norms of his time. The poem defies traditional poetic structure, being written in a series of cantos that weave together adventures of its eponymous hero, who is portrayed not as a seducer but rather as an unwitting victim of lifeAos absurdities. Byrons masterful use of iambic pentameter alongside a variety of metrics serves to enhance the playful yet poignant exploration of love, morality, and the complexities of human experience against the backdrop of early 19th-century Europe, highlighting the contrasts of nobility and vice. George Gordon Byron, a key figure in the Romantic movement, was influenced by his own tumultuous life and encounters with both the aristocracy and the lower classes. His experiences with love, exile, and public scandal deeply inform the work, as Byron deftly navigates his own disillusionment and perceptions of gender roles and sexuality through the character of Don Juan. Understanding Byrons biographical context enriches the readers appreciation of the poems themes of libertinism and social critique. "Don Juan" is a must-read for anyone interested in the interplay of humor and tragedy within literature. Byrons bold subversion of the romantic hero archetype invites readers to rethink conventional narratives around love and desire. This work is not only a source of entertainment but also a profound commentary on human nature, making it essential reading for aficionados of poetry and those seeking insight into the Romantic era.
