"Irritating, insufferable, admirable, stimulating, disappointing
Rodo: . . . you are part of our family quarrels, and must bear with
your disrespectful, equally disappointed, intuitive, incomplete
nephews, living in a world that you helped define for us, and
offered unto our revolt." --from the Prologue by Carlos Fuentes
First published in 1900 Uruguay, Ariel is Latin America's most
famous essay on esthetic and philosophical sensibility, as well as
its most discussed treatise on hemispheric relations. Though Rodo
protested the interpretation, his allegorical conflict between
Ariel, the lover of beauty and truth, and Caliban, the evil spirit
of materialism and positivism, has come to be regarded as a
metaphor for the conflicts and cultural differences between Latin
America and the United States. Generations of statesmen,
intellectuals, and literary figures have been formed by this book,
either in championing its teachings or in reacting against them.
This edition of Ariel, prepared especially with teaehers and
students in mind, contains a reader's guide to names, places, and
important movements, as well as notes and a comprehensive annotated
English/Spanish bibliography.
