Someone Speaks Your Name (Paperback): Luis Garcia Montero, Katie King Someone Speaks Your Name (Paperback)
Luis Garcia Montero, Katie King
R674 Discovery Miles 6 740 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

A lyrical novel following an idealistic student who explores the power of literature in Franco's Spain. It's the summer of 1963 and Leon Egea, a cocky nineteen-year-old student and aspiring author, has just finished his first year studying literature at the University of Granada and is starting a summer job as an encyclopedia salesman. Leon, infuriated by the injustices in Spanish society under the Franco dictatorship, comes to find that literature can speak the truth when the reality is clouded. In this coming-of-age novel by renowned Spanish writer Luis Garcia Montero, Leon discovers that, under the repressive Franco dictatorship, people, places, and events are not always what they seem. But literature, words, and names open paths to discovery, both personal and political. Through lyrical fast-paced narrative, Someone Speaks Your Name explores literature as a foundation for understanding human relationships, national character, discrete differences between right and wrong, and for pursuing the path forward. As Leon's professor tells him: "Learning to write is learning to see."

R409 Discovery Miles 4 090 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Desde la perspectiva que da la cuarentena b"como sugiere el poema que abre el librob" y al hilo de una introspeccion nada complaciente, La intimidad de la serpiente se presenta como un repaso biografico, moral y sentimental de un sujeto poetico en el que el lector no tarda en reconocerse. En ese examen de conciencia brillan a veces con potente luz los destellos de la infancia o las iluminaciones de los ideales juveniles, pero los poemas se centran en los borrones y claudicaciones, intimos y colectivos, que la Historia inmediata le ha dejado en herencia. Son versos que nos hablan tambien del presente, del desajuste y las contradicciones que siente el poeta ante los nuevos tiempos y sus valores, y de la necesidad de conciliar convicciones y renuncias para concebir B+un destino soportableB; . La serpiente del arbol del bien y del mal se siente abandonada entre gentes que no quieren morder la manzana de los suenos.Como contrapunto a las composiciones de brillante reflexion civil, aparece otra serie de poemas mas breves en los que el lenguaje se convierte en argumento primordial. Unos y otros demuestran, en cualquier caso, el arte de Garcia Montero para nombrar sentimientos complejos mediante objetos y escenas familiares (ese B+idioma dormido de las cosasB; ) y su apuesta por adentrarse en una expresion menos directa, donde la deslumbrante densidad de alusiones y sentidos sirve como nunca para relatar y relatarnos nuestra historia privada y colectiva.

Luis Garcia Montero (Granada, 1958) is one of the most read and influential Spanish writers today. He is an essayist, fiction writer, journalist, professor of Spanish Literature at the University of Granada, and, principally, a poet. He has received numerous important honors, like the National Poetry Prize (1994) and the National Critic's Prize (2003), both in Spain, and the Poets of the Latin World Prize (2010), in Mexico. He has published eleven books of poetry, represented in The World So Often, his first anthology in English. Luis Garcia Montero's poetry has commonly been considered - even by the author himself - as realist, yet this is a misinterpretation. His poetic subject doesn't try to trap the reader in an illusory world offered up as natural, but rather to break with the automatic perception of things and facts, and so avoid catharsis. What's crucial here is the use of a language that does not try to be transparent, a simple instrument of communication, and that risks its neck to be noticed. It's a language that is both reflection and matter, and thus, has the agency to change things, the capacity to transform. Moreover, this language is not limited to the lyrical tradition, it doesn't discriminate against words in any way, it becomes democratized. By combining prosaism and tropological density, it searches for a discourse with a greater power of representation and participation. In short, Garcia Montero's work achieves a balance between sentimental rigor and intellectual outpouring, rejects solipsism, and goes deeper into dialogical poetry.
