Recuerdos de Guatemala

Ficha del Libro

This travelogue provides a basic reader for students on the upper high-school level and for secondary-level college students. The author's expert knowledge of the language and the country has enabled him to give free rein to his love affair with Guatemala. The result is a well-planned exercise in language, complete with extensive notes, exercises, and vocabulary, but enlivened with real-life learning experience. Interwoven with the sights of present-day Guatemala are glimpses into the past of Mayan civilization. Mr. Davis has drawn from his own knowledge of the country in the careful preparation of this book. The extensive notes are ready aids in grasping the elusive idiomatic phrase. The exercises afford practice in acquiring fluency in formal as well as colloquial expression. As a further aid to gaining an understanding of the language and the culture of the Guatemalans the author has used extensively the refranes, the short, pithy sayings in popular usage throughout the country.

El tema de Circe en la tradición literaria

Among the adventures of Odysseus, his encounter with the mysterious goddess Circe, who transforms the hero's companions into swine, has long been a favorite of readers. The combination of magic, metamorphosis, intrigue, seduction, and danger in this episode of the Odyssey make it particularly attractive and thought-provoking, so that many later authors mention or recreate it: Apollonius of Rhodes, Plutarch, Virgil, Ovid, Dante, Lope, Calderon, etc. This book analyzes the tradition of the Homeric myth in western literature, from ancient Greece to the present day, with particular attention to...

Desde el nudo de mi garganta

Déjate llevar, finge, afirma y protesta. Nunca te des por vencida. Sé insistente si te importa. Ponte películas de llorar si es lo que te apetece. Escucha música, mucha, todo el tiempo que puedas. Lleva las cosas al límite, puede que no tengan final. Haz castillos en la arena con tan solo un grano. Quiere y hazlo de verdad. El amor. Vive siendo intensa en emociones. Puede que te arrepientas, pero de haberlo hecho.

Discursos LXI-LXXX

El orador y filósofo griego Dión de Prusa (o Crisóstomo) predicó una doctrina de moderación y contentamiento en sus viajes por toda Grecia y Asia Menor. Filóstrato incluye a Dión de Prusa (también llamado Dión Crisóstomo, "boca de oro") en el movimiento de la sofística, aunque aclara que por su personalidad y por su obra rebasa las categorías angostas. En efecto, este orador, filósofo e historiador griego del siglo I d.C., nacido en la pequeña ciudad de Prusa, en la provincia romana de Bitinia (noroeste de la actual Turquía), pronunció discursos en varias situaciones de las...
