paperback. Condición: Very Good in Wrappers. No Jacket. Chicago. 1980. University of Chicago Press. Reprinted Paperback Edition. Very Good in Wrappers. 0226499952. 150 pages. paperback. P874. keywords: Latin America Literature Literary Studies. DESCRIPTION - While it is commonly acknowledged that the literature of Latin America, and in particular its narrative, is among the most important new literatures of the second half of the twentieth century, little has been done to ascertain its basic identity. Now, in a series of concise and eloquent essays on the narratives of twelve Latin American writers, Alfred J. Mac Adam attempts to identify common elements unifying this literature beyond its mere geography. Focusing on writings by Machado de Assis, Adolfo Bioy Cesares, Julio Cortazar, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, and Jose Donoso, among others, Mac Adam persuasively develops the controversial thesis that satire, not the novel, is the dominant form of the Latin American narrative. 'Mac Adam's study has absorbed my attention and stimulated my thinking. It is a brilliant exposition of narrative theory and an illuminating interpretation of these novels.' - Peter G. Earle, University of Pennsylvania. 'Mac Adam's study, or essay as he calls it, has a sharp edge. Into what he himself implies is a welter of unthinking commentary on Latin-American literature, it brings a welcome rigour, a striking independence of mind.' - Gordon Brotherston, Times Higher Education Supplement. 'Mac Adam's work will undoubtedly produce if not a new criticism at least a revitalization of our approach to the anatomy of fiction.' John Walker, Queen's Quarterly. inventory #34129.…

8.75 x 5.5 inches. 229 pages. Quarter cloth; dust jacket. First American Edition. Signed by the author on the front free endpaper. "In the five novellas that comprise The Orange Tree, Carlos Fuentes continues the passionate and imaginative reconstruction of past and present history that has distinguished Terra Nostra and The Campaign. From the story of Columbus's arrival in the Caribbean, to the fate of Hernan Cortes's two sons, to the destruction of the Spanish city of Numantia by the Romans and the annihilation of Hollywood by Acapulco, Fuentes couples the epic grandeur of the spiritual and the historical with the many pleasures of the flesh. "In The Orange Tree", he remarks, "I gather together not only all my most immediate sensual pleasures - I see, touch, peel, bite, swallow - but also the most primordial sensations: my mother, wet nurses, breasts, the sphere, the world, the egg". The result is a sensitive exploration of cultural conflict that is also a feast for the senses.". A near-fine copy with some light spotting to edges and light surface wear to jacket.…

Hardback. Condición: New. In this masterful experiment in truly comparative literary criticism, Alfred J. Mac Adam establishes Latin America's place in the Western literary tradition. By juxtaposing Latin American and Anglo-American texts, he shows how Latin American literature has gone beyond the context of Hispanic letters to borrow from, exploit, and finally extend the Western tradition. Mac Adam describes the changes that have taken place in Latin American literature since the time of Modernismo (roughly 1880-1920), when Spanish American writers tried to update their literary language by imitating foreign, mostly French, literature. Since then, as he demonstrates, Latin American writing has achieved a pioneering status by means of a different kind of imitation-parody-whereby it gives back to the former centers of Western culture their own writing, now distorted and reshaped into something new.…
