| los perros hambrientos: Fábulas Fedro, Aviano,, 1998-10-27 El presente volumen presenta traducidas las fábulas completas de Fedro y Aviano. La importancia de Fedro (siglo I d.C.), como en otro tiempo la de Esopo, reside en haber elevado la fábula, hasta el momento presente como ingrediente auxiliar en otros géneros literarios como la sátira, a género literario autónomo. Consciente de que su obra es muy modesta y él un poeta menor, elige un género humilde para convertirse en la voz de la protesta impotente de los débiles. Por lo demás, aunque algunas de sus fábulas son traducción de las de Esopo, Fedro es un poeta original, que amplía y contamina temas tradicionales, creando fábulas totalmente nuevas que contienen elementos de crítica y de sátira contra la sociedad y la moral propias de la época. Aviano (siglos IV-V d.C.) compuso cuarenta y dos fábulas en distintos elegíacos. De menor valía literaria que la de Fedro y de estilo más barroco, la suya es una obra repleta de calcos léxicos y sintácticos de los poetas clásicos. A diferencia de Fedro, gozó de inmensa fortuna en la Edad Media. |

| los perros hambrientos: Imagining the Plains of Latin America Axel Pérez Trujillo Diniz, 2021-04-22 From the Pampas lowlands of Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil to the Altiplano plateau that stretches between Chile and Peru, the plains of Latin America have haunted the literature and culture of the continent. Bringing these landscapes into focus as a major subject of Latin American culture, this book outlines innovative new ecocritcial readings of canonical literary texts from the 19th century to the present. Tracing these natural landscapes across national borders the book develops a new transnational understanding of Hispanic culture in South America and expands the scope of the contemporary environmental humanities.

| los perros hambrientos: The Time of the Hero Mario Vargas Llosa, 2013-01-03 WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE The Time of the Hero has been acclaimed by critics around the world as one of the outstanding Spanish novels of recent decades. In the author's native Peru, this powerful social satire so outraged the authorities that a thousand copies were publicly burned. The novel is set in Leoncio Prado Military Academy in Lima, where a group of cadets attempt to break out of the vicious round of sadistic ragging, military discipline, confinement and boredom. But their pranks set off a cycle of betrayal, murder and revenge which jeopardizes the entire military hierarchy. 'A work of undeniable power and skill.' Sunday Telegraph |
| los perros hambrientos: The House on Mango Street Sandra Cisneros, 2013-04-30 A TODAY SHOW #ReadWithJenna BOOK CLUB PICK NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A coming-of-age classic about a young girl growing up in Chicago • Acclaimed by critics, beloved by readers of all ages, taught in schools and universities alike, and translated around the world—from the winner of the 2019 PEN/Nabokov Award for Achievement in International Literature. “Cisneros draws on her rich [Latino] heritage...and seduces with precise, spare prose, creat[ing] unforgettable characters we want to lift off the page. She is not only a gifted writer, but an absolutely essential one.” —The New York Times Book Review The House on Mango Street is one of the most cherished novels of the last fifty years. Readers from all walks of life have fallen for the voice of Esperanza Cordero, growing up in Chicago and inventing for herself who and what she will become. “In English my name means hope,” she says. “In Spanish it means too many letters. It means sadness, it means waiting. Told in a series of vignettes—sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes joyous—Cisneros’s masterpiece is a classic story of childhood and self-discovery and one of the greatest neighborhood novels of all time. Like Sinclair Lewis’s Main Street or Toni Morrison’s Sula, it makes a world through people and their voices, and it does so in language that is poetic and direct. This gorgeous coming-of-age novel is a celebration of the power of telling one’s story and of being proud of where you're from. |
| los perros hambrientos: Creature Discomfort Scott M. DeVries, 2016-05-02 In Creature Discomfort: Fauna-criticism, Ethics, and the Representation of Animals in Spanish American Fiction and Poetry, Scott M. DeVries uncovers a tradition in Spanish American literature where animal-ethical representations anticipate many of the most pressing concerns from present debates in animal studies. The author documents moments from the corpus that articulate long-standing positions such as a defense of animal rights or advocacy for liberationism, that engage in literary philosophical meditations concerning mind theory and animal sentience, and that anticipate current ideas from Critical Animal Studies including the rejection of hierarchical differentiations between the categories human and nonhuman. Creature Discomfort innovates the notion of “fauna-criticism” as a new literary approach within animal studies; this kind of analysis emphasizes the reframing of literary history to expound animal ethical positions from literary texts, both those that have been considered canonical as well as those that have long been neglected. In this study, DeVries employs fauna-criticism to examine nonhuman sentience, animal interiority, and other ethical issues such as the livestock and pet industries, circuses, zoos, hunting, and species extinction in fictional narrative and poetry from the nineteenth century, modernista, Regional, indigenista, and contemporary periods of Spanish American literature. |
| los perros hambrientos: The Routledge Handbook of Latin American Literary Translation Delfina Cabrera, Denise Kripper, 2023-03-24 The Routledge Handbook of Latin American Literary Translation offers an understanding of translation in Latin America both at a regional and transnational scale. Broad in scope, it is devoted primarily to thinking comprehensively and systematically about the intersection of literary translation and Latin American literature, with a curated selection of original essays that critically engage with translation theories and practices outside of hegemonic Anglo centers. In this introductory volume, through survey and case-study chapters, contributing authors cover literary and cultural translation in the region historically, geographically, and linguistically. From the nineteenth to the twenty-first century, the chapters focus on issues ranging from the role of translation in the construction of national identities to the challenges of translation in the current digital age. Areas of interest expand from the United States to the Southern Cone, including the Caribbean and Brazil, as well as the impact of Latin American literature internationally, and paying attention to translation from and to indigenous languages; Portuguese, English, French, German, Chinese, Spanglish, and more. The first of its kind in English, this Handbook will shed light on different translation approaches and invite a rethinking of intercultural and interlingual exchanges from Latin American viewpoints. This is key reading for all scholars, researchers, and students of literary translation studies, Latin American literature, and comparative literature. |
| los perros hambrientos: Reminiscences of Los Alamos 1943–1945 Lawrence Badash, J.O. Hirschfelder, H.P. Broida, 2012-12-06 Although the World War II efforts to develop nuclear weapons have inspired a very large literature, it struck us as noteworthy that virtually nothing existed in the form of firsthand accounts. Now It Can Be Told, by General Leslie Groves, the Manhattan Project's military commander, is probably the most prominent exception, but the scientists themselves seem to have shown little interest in publishing their reminiscences. Believing that it would be not only worthwhile for posterity, but ex tremely interesting for the present generation to hear about the aspirations, fears, and activities of those who participated in this watershed of science and government collaboration, we arranged the public lecture series repre sented by this book.! We chose to focus upon Los Alamos since the project's efforts culminated there. The isolated laboratory in New Mexico was created to design and construct the first atomic bombs. More scientific brainpower was accumulated there than at any time since Isaac Newton dined alone, and the interactions with this community are of sociological interest, as the results of their work are of political import. |

| los perros hambrientos: World Literature in Spanish Maureen Ihrie, Salvador Oropesa, 2011-10-20 Containing roughly 850 entries about Spanish-language literature throughout the world, this expansive work provides coverage of the varied countries, ethnicities, time periods, literary movements, and genres of these writings. Providing a thorough introduction to Spanish-language literature worldwide and across time is a tall order. However, World Literature in Spanish: An Encyclopedia contains roughly 850 entries on both major and minor authors, themes, genres, and topics of Spanish literature from the Middle Ages to the present day, affording an amazingly comprehensive reference collection in a single work. This encyclopedia describes the growing diversity within national borders, the increasing interdependence among nations, and the myriad impacts of Spanish literature across the globe. All countries that produce literature in Spanish in Europe, Africa, the Americas, and Asia are represented, covering both canonical authors and emerging contemporary writers and trends. Underrepresented writings—such as texts by women writers, queer and Afro-Hispanic texts, children's literature, and works on relevant but less studied topics such as sports and nationalism—also appear. While writings throughout the centuries are covered, those of the 20th and 21st centuries receive special consideration. |
| los perros hambrientos: The Oxford Handbook of the Latin American Novel Juan E. De Castro, Ignacio Lòpez-Calvo, 2023 The Latin American novel burst onto the international literary scene with the Boom era--led by Julio Cortázar, Gabriel García Márquez, Carlos Fuentes, and Mario Vargas Llosa--and has influenced writers throughout the world ever since. García Márquez and Vargas Llosa each received the Nobel Prize in literature, and many of the best-known contemporary novelists are inspired by the region's fiction. Indeed, magical realism, the style associated with García Márquez, has left a profound imprint on African American, African, Asian, Anglophone Caribbean, and Latinx writers. Furthermore, post-Boom literature continues to garner interest, from the novels of Roberto Bolaño to the works of César Aira and Chico Buarque, to those of younger novelists such as Juan Gabriel Vásquez, Alejandro Zambra, and Valeria Luiselli. Yet, for many readers, the Latin American novel is often read in a piecemeal manner delinked from the traditions, authors, and social contexts that help explain its evolution. The Oxford Handbook of the Latin American Novel draws literary, historical, and social connections so that readers will come away understanding this literature as a rich and compelling canon. In forty-five chapters by leading and innovative scholars, the Handbook provides a comprehensive introduction, helping readers to see the region's intrinsic heterogeneity--for only with a broader view can one fully appreciate García Márquez or Bolaño. This volume charts the literary tradition of the Latin American novel from its beginnings during colonial times, its development during the nineteenth and the first half of the twentieth century, and its flourishing from the 1960s onward. Furthermore, the Handbook explores the regions, representations of identity, narrative trends, and authors that make this literature so diverse and fascinating, reflecting on the Latin American novel's position in world literature. |
| los perros hambrientos: The Spanish American Novel John S. Brushwood, 2014-07-03 In The Spanish American Novel, John S. Brushwood analyzes the twentieth-century Spanish American novel as an artistic expression of social reality. In relating the generic history of the novel to extraliterary events in Spanish America, he shows how twentieth-century fiction sets forth the essence of such phenomena as the first Perón regime, the Mexican Revolution, the Che Guevara legend, indigenismo, and the strongman political type. In essence, he views the novel as art rather than as document, but not as art alienated from society. The discussion is organized chronologically, opening with the turn of the century and focusing on novels from 1900 to 1915 that exemplify various aspects of the nineteenth-century literary inheritance. Brushwood then highlights the avant-garde fiction (influenced by Proust and Joyce) of the 1920s as a precursory movement to the “new” Latin American novel, a phenomenon that came into its own during the 1940s. He then examines the “boom” in Spanish American fiction, the period of extensive international recognition of certain works, which he dates from 1962 or 1963. In each era considered, the development of the novel is placed in dual perspective. One view—that of particularly significant novels in light of others published during the same year—is a cross section of the genre at one particular moment. The second view—that of a panorama of novels published in intervals between significant moments in the history of the novel—is more general and selective in the number of books discussed. Combining the historical with the analytical approach, the author proposes that the experience of a novel in which reality has been transformed into art is essential to our understanding of that reality. |

| los perros hambrientos: El país de la canela William Ospina, 2012-12-01 Una expedición en busca de un país rico en árboles de canela lleva a Orellana y a los demás exploradores que iban bajo su mando a encontrarse con increíbles parajes, seres nunca antes vistos y el más caudaloso de los descubrimientos: el río Amazonas. «La canela: oro, sí, pero astillado en aroma, el túmulo de leños que hace siglos borraba en sus humaredas los palacios del Tíber, cuando, para despedir a su emperatriz muerta, Nerón hizo quemar sobre las plazas de Roma toda la cosecha que Arabia había producido en un año. Fue en las terrazas saqueadas del Quzco donde Gonzalo Pizarro oyó por primera vez hablar del País de la Canela. Él tenía como todos la esperanza de que hubiera canela en el Nuevo Mundo, y cuando pudo dio a probar a los indios bebidas con canela, para ver si la reconocían. (...) Sé que los indios no pudieron haberle descrito todo con exactitud, porque las dificultades de comunicación eran muchas, pero Pizarro adivinó las arboledas rojas de árboles leñosos y perfumados, un país entero con toda la canela del mundo, la comarca más rica que alguien pudiera imaginar.» Un grupo de hombres, guiados al principio por Gonzalo Pizarro y después por Francisco de Orellana, emprende una expedición en busca de un soñado bosque de canela. Bajo su mando, los doscientos cincuenta españoles, los cuatro mil indios y los dos mil perros de presa, llamas y cerdos que forman parte de la expedición encontrarán increíbles parajes, seres nunca vistos y el más caudaloso de los descubrimientos: el río Amazonas. Premio Rómulo Gallegos 2009, El País de la Canela es la historia de una expedición fracasada, ejemplo perfecto de la locura que se apoderó de aquellos conquistadores del Nuevo Mundo delirantes por las promesas de oro y opulencia. |

| los perros hambrientos: The Fables of Phædrus Phaedrus Phaedrus, 2018-10-16 Driven by thirst, a Wolf and a Lamb had come to the same stream; the Wolf stood above, and the Lamb at a distance below. Then, the spoiler, prompted by a ravenous maw, alleged a pretext for a quarrel. Why, said he, have you made the water muddy for me while I am drinking? The Fleece-bearer, trembling, answered: Prithee, Wolf, how can I do what you complain of? The water is flowing downwards from you to where I am drinking. The other, disconcerted by the force of truth, exclaimed: Six months ago, you slandered me. Indeed, answered the Lamb, I was not born then. By Hercules, said the Wolf, then twas your father slandered me; and so, snatching him up, he tore him to pieces, killing him unjustly. This Fable is applicable to those men who, under false pretences, oppress the innocent. |
