En Bellas Artes (Entre Voces)

Collection of classic Mexican and Iberoamerican CD audio books. Read by their original authors, or by other famous writers when that has been impossiblem the collection takes pride in using only unabridged versions of the original literary texts that can be heard in the recording. Probably the greatest virtue of the Entre Voces audio book collection is that it allows the listener to evoke the oral tradition that is intrinsic to the origins of every literary work. This collection also permits the listening of poetry as it was meant to be readm as it finds its own alter ego in the spoken voice. The Entre Voces collection offers poetry, narrative fiction and theatre by authors of such importance to the evolution of Hispanic literature as Filix Lope de Vega, Sor Juana Inis de la Cruz, Rubin Darmo, Pablo Neruda, Juan Rulfo, Carlos Fuentes, Jaime Sabines, Rosario Castellanos, Augusto Monterroso, Josi Emilio Pacheco, and many others.

Sabines (1926-1999), born in Chiapas, Mexico where he later served as congressman. In 1945, he studied Medicine, Philosophy, and Literature at the University of Mexico. He wrote eight books of poetry, including Horal (1950), Tarumba (1956), and Maltiempo (1972). Mexico's honored poet, Sabines received the Chiapas Prize (1959), Xavier Villaurrutia Award (1972) and the National Literature Award (1983).
