Synopsis El viajero de cercanías by : William Henry Hudson

Una selección de entrañables anécdotas ecológicas por el autor de la obra maestra de renombre mundial "La Tierra Púrpura". Un clásico internacional y uno de los escritores predilectos del muy selectivo J. L. Borges. Joseph Conrad detectó su gran calidad literaria alabando su naturalísimo estilo que “brotaba como la hierba”. Hudson pergeñó varias obras maestras de la novelística mundial como "La tierra púrpura" por las que es recordado primordialmente; pero, asimismo, escribió otras obras magníficas y de gran talla literaria como es la presente, en donde, sin el artificio novelístico ni la exigencia narrativa biográfica, manifiesta su categoría de gran escritor capaz de extraer interés y poesía de hechos en apariencia insignificantes: recuerdos nostálgicos de su juventud en la Pampa, conversaciones con simpáticas niñas –en curiosa vena Lewiscarroliana–, experiencias relativas a pájaros –su gran pasión–, y anécdotas ocurridas en remotas aldeas o parajes salvajes ingleses.

Synopsis Scripted Geographies by : Gayle R. Nunley

This study offers the first book-length exploration of travel narratives by nineteenth-century Spanish authors. Focusing on texts produced during a crucial period in the development of Spain's modern consciousness at the close of its imperial age, Scripted Geographies shows how writers' strategies of travel representation reflected and participated in this process of cultural transformation. The first two chapters, devoted to travel within Europe, explore constructions of Spain's sometimes problematic encounter with Western society and traditions. The final chapters shift to orientalist travel, allowing reflection on how Spanish renderings of the non-Western other intersect with patterns found in the better-known corpus of orientalist literature produced in then-ascendant imperial powers like Britain and France. These textual constructions of cultural difference reflect at a profound level their authors' preoccupations and hopes for Spain, as well as their strong awareness of both the powers and dangers inherent in the process of representing real world experience via language. Professor of Spanish at the University of Vermont.
