The same way that lovers, poets and bohemians alike, since the beginning of time, who each has sung praises and laments in the name of love, this book, ROMANCE, gotas del corazn, (translated: ROMANCE, teardrops from the heart), Oscar Luis Guzmn sings his own praises to XOCHITL, his eternal muse; describing all his experiences in a truly eloquent way, starting with his youthful dreams, disdain, hopelessness, anticipation, and the joy of love; not forgetting, the hurt of the absence and/or the unexpected departure of a loved one. All his dreams passions and disillusions that lovers experience; even hatred and rancor for perceived injuries, and the insufferable pain that sometimes changes a man of reason into a caveman without hope and faith until he falls in love once again and the he starts to live again all is poetically described in ROMANCE, gotas del corazn

El diablo llegó a América protegido por el imaginario colectivo y el mito tradicional, pero los autores del discurso contra la magia y los propios colonizadores afirmaron que siempre había estado allí, fungiendo como señor de los naturales, proclamándose dios entre las supersticiones y las idolatrías. Así que fue necesario gestionar en la continuidad de los discursos que alertaban, aleccionaban y protegían contra un enemigo capaz de disfrazarse y adoptar formas rituales autóctonas; comenzó entonces una nueva etapa en la redacción de textos asimilados a la tradición del discurso demonológico. La atención se centró en la idolatría; el enfoque remozó su prejuicio diferenciador, y el formato recurrió al tratado, al informe, y la literatura. En el presente libro se analizan algunas muestras representativas de este proceso cultural acaecido en la época novohispana, pero detectable aún bajo las bases de nuestra idiosincrasia, a la luz de la teoría que Occidente había legado para comprender la presencia del mal y sus representantes en el mundo.

Drawing on the groundbreaking Spanish scholarship and editions of earlier generations and relying on research conducted in Spanish archives, this pioneering group of English-speaking scholars offers a new treatment of familiar material. The editors yoke together widely varying critical practices, including incisive New Critical readings and far-reaching explorations that draw on the most current European critical thought. In addition to these more strictly literary studies, there are interdisciplinary essays focusing on seventeenth- and twentieth-century reception and the social makeup of the comedia audience. The whole thus presents a balanced picture of the many ways in which the comedia can be viewed, and the contributors complement each other's work in often surprising ways, illuminating the same corpus from a number of perspectives.

Turns grammar review into a fun, culturally enriching experience by placing it in a realistic meaningful context. This is achieved through the inclusion of brief readings, lots of realia and photos, and profiles of famous Hispanics. Self-contained chapters allow instructors to cover material in whatever order they prefer. Crystal clear grammatical explanations are immediately applied in dialogues and prose. English is used to help clarify more difficult points. Direction lines and exercises are written entirely in Spanish. Unique "Escenas" illustrate vocabulary and provide a springboard for conversations and activities. For example, a busy restaurant and buying clothes. Closely coordinated with the accompanying reader and workbook to reinforce key grammatical and vocabulary points.
