El Llano en llamas (COLECCION LETRAS HISPANICAS) (Letras Hispanicas, 218) (Letras Hispanicas, 218)
Juan Rulfo
Catedra, 2006
beautiful sadness
+ Rulfo's best

It is beautifully sparse, much like a black and white photograph - its surface is dark and bleak and colorless, yet the texture which can be read and felt beneath the surface is absolutely breathtaking. Rulfo creates ...

Doña Clarines y Mañana de Sol (Heath's Modern Language Series)
Serafín Álvarez Quintero, Joaquín Álvarez Quintero
D.C. Heath & Co., 1915
At present writing [1915], it seems to be a fact that no Spanish comedy written within the last 30 years, perhaps 50, and making any pretense to literary worth, is available for use as a text in the United States. With the intention of filling part of the gap, as well as of introducing to students two contemporary Spanish dramatists very well known in their own country [Spain] and very well worth ...

Naufragios (COLECCION LETRAS HISPANICAS) (Letras Hispanicas)
Nunez Cabeza de Vaca
Catedra, 2006
Love the text, hate the intro
As always, this text by Cabeza de Vaca is a classic and can be read with many ends in mind: proto-ethnography, failed conquest, shipwreck, etc. But the editor is kind of a bonehead, honestly. While he starts off with a discussion of the historiographical issues of the text, the perennial issue of ...
