Testimonio que representa la simbolizacion de las fusiones
La palabra se pronuncia en el dialogo memorioso, documental, vivencial, emotivo en que Luc Delannoy teje su telar historico del jazz latino consonando su universo, su estricta y puntual escritura donde obediente al principio narrativo nos lleva de la mano a la busqueda de significados, a la explicacion de ritmos, a la mezcla de generos, a las atmosferas de los escenarios, pero sobre todo a la ...

Ficcionario: Una Antologia De Sus Textos73 reviews
Jorge Luis Borges

Fondo de Cultura Economica USA, 2000

An ingenious labyrinthine narrative....
Borges never fails to please, to challenge, to entertain, and more importantly make one's brain shift into high gear! If you are looking for an easy read, don't expect to find it in Ficciones. However, if you are looking for a little cerebral cortex arousal; grab this book and find a cozy spot...you won't be disappointed! Reading with his head instead of his heart, Borges looks to fill his ...

The book with no words
My daughter, aged 4, was a little bit confused at the book when it first arrived. She didn't like that it didn't have words. After "reading" it with her a couple of times, it has fast become one of her favorites. More then once I have found her in bed "reading" this book by herself and she will still pick this book on occasion for one of her bedtime stories.

Farabeuf2 reviews
Salvador Elizondo

Fondo de Cultura Economica USA, 2003

The novel of an instant
This most innovative of novels is about an instant. While, in the Rue de l'Odeon, Dr. Farabeuf executes an erotic-chirurgical rite, the couple (one couple) remember the moment of execution by torture of a Chinese man in 1901, immortalized in a photograph. Farabeuf's lover assumes herself as the tortured Chinese (who is also Christ), making torture the equivalent of ardent love: the fusion of ...

Antropologia de La Pobreza - Cinco Familias1 review
Oscar Lewis

Fondo de Cultura Economica USA, 2002

A FASCINATING LOOK AT MEXICAN FAMILIES IN THE 1950s...
I first read this book many years ago, along with some of the author's other works, and decided to take read it again. Time certainly has not diminished the power of the author, winner of the 1967 National Book Award for his book, "La Vida", to take the reader into the lives of others. This is the Spanish text edition of the author's anthropological work, "Five Families", which reads as if it ...

Bonicula: Una Historia De Misterio Conejil1 review
James Howe

Fondo De Cultura Economica USA, 1995

a bunny to scare all.
This one of the most entretaining stories about the old myth of vampires. The main character, who also is the writer of the story, is a family dog who witnesses how a charming being becomes a fiendish creature at night. One of the achievments of the book is how closely it takes on the characters and the story of Dracula, without the eerie parts no apt for kids. Instead it creates a world so ...
  
  











  



  
El Lenguaje En El Primer Heidegger1 review
Tatiana Aguilar Alvarez Bay

Fondo de Cultura Economica USA, 1999

"El lenguaje" en el contexto de la obra de Martin Heidegger (con especial referencia a "Ser y tiempo")
Hay frases de ?ndole filos?fica que suelen repetirse sin que se entienda bien su significado: llega a ser el que eres; con?cete a ti mismo; no quieras salir de ti, en tu interior habita la verdad; pienso, luego existo; ?por qu? hay el ser y no m?s bien la nada?; el hombre es una pasi?n in?til; yo soy yo y mi circunstancia. De Heidegger se han tomado aserciones como ?stas: el lenguaje es la casa ...
