“The two poems which, together, are popularly known as the Martín Fierro form what is often regarded as the greatest single Spanish American work in creative literature. Appropriately, it draws from Spain the language and verse forms which have long been the vehicle of improvisation, the didactic folk wisdom of old Spanish proverbs, the Spanish interest in law whether formally codified in the fueros and the Siete Partidas or informally mocked by the pícaros in its practical application, and the Spanish emphasis upon individual worth and independence. Even more directly, the Martín Fierro is national in feeling, portraying the Argentine rural scene and the social aspirations, institutions and events of a great transition period of Argentine history. ... Rooted in Spain, Argentine in content, universal in interest, the Martín Fierro is one of the world’s great books and should be more widely known abroad. ... This edition is improved by the availability of original and translation on facing pages.” — Madaline W. Nichols in Inter-American Review of BibliographyIncluded in CHOICE’s selection of Outstanding Academic Books of 1968–69.

La mayoria de los cuentos reunidos en este libro pertenecen al genero fantastico. Algunos surgieron, segun sostiene el autor, a partir de cronicas policiales, de pinturas o simplemente de la vision de algun conventillo; otro explora el efecto que la inmortalidad causaria en los hombres; hay una glosa al Martin Fierro, suenos sobre la identidad personal y fantasias del tiempo. El cuento "El Aleph", publicado por primera vez en 1945 y que en 1949 dio nombre al libro, aborda uno de los temas recurrentes en la literatura de Borges: el infinito. Porque en esa esfera resplandeciente confluyen de un modo asombroso todos los tiempos y todos los espacios.

In a response to our culture's hunger for a renewed relationship to our vital feminine roots, Nancy Fierro digs her hands into the rich soil of our past and unearths the nourishing bounty of Hildegard of Bingen. From her early experience of abandonment, through her numinous call, her descent into illness, her evolving capacity to embody the light and shadow of her nature, Hildegard's journey is an individuation tale. Dr. Fierro's keen vision gifts us with a Hildegard who is profoundly religious, humanly flawed, creative, sensual, practical, determined, and generous. As a woman who must express the multidimensionality of her whole being to stay truly sane, Hildegard is a sister to us all.

From New York Times Bestseller Mimi Jean Pamfiloff... TOMMASO, Book #2, Immortal Matchmakers, Inc. Series (Standalone) SOMETIMES, HOT MEN CAN BE REAL MONSTERS... Tommaso Fierro is used to the finer things in life—nice suits, nice car, nice house. Okay, his past isn’t so nice, but that’s in the past.

Annnd discovering that he’s turning into a horrible creature he loathes with all his heart. Luckily, there’s a cure. Unluckily, it will require him to track this woman down and convince her to give him a second chance. But if he finds her, will she ever believe that he’s really not a monster?

From the Gothic to the contemporary, glass has transformed the structural, formal, and philosophical principles of architecture. In The Glass State, Annette Fierro views the many meanings of transparency in architecture. Specifically, she analyzes the transparent monumental buildings that were built in Paris between 1981 and 1998 as part of Francois Mitterrand's program of Grands Projets. The Grands Projets provide a rare opportunity to study a finite set of buildings constructed of similar materials, in the same time period, in a specific urban landscape, and with related ideological missions.Fierro employs a "discourse of the detail," in which the smallest architectural detail manifests the political, theoretical, and urban contexts of the building's design and construction. She examines the paradox of the most pared down architectural configurations being used to support the most complex meanings. Intrinsic to Mitterrand's glass buildings in Paris, for example, is a political concept: the metaphor of accessibility as a means of breaking open cultural institutions previously closed to the public.In addition to the structures of the Grands Projets -- the Institut du Monde Arabe, the Grande and Petite Pyramides du Louvre, the glass greenhouses at utopian park projects at La Villette and Andre Citroën and the Bibliotheque nationale de France -- Fierro discusses the Fondation Cartier and two precedent structures, the Centre Georges Pompidou and the Eiffel Tower.

A pioneering political and intellectual history of the Chicano leaders who emerged from the barrios of the Southwest between 1930 and 1960―Ignacio L. López, George I. Sanchez, Josefina Fierro de Bright, and others―and of their effort to capture first-class citizenship for Mexican Americans.  Drawing extensively on archival material and oral history, Mario T. García discusses the key figures, organizations, and issues of the movement; in so doing he casts new light not only on Chicano history but also on the histories of American ethnicity and civil rights movements.

La refundación más radical del clásico argentino Martín Fierro, una novela reivindicativa sobre la liberación de una mujer que abraza los paisajes desbordantes de La Pampa. Radiante y luminoso. El desierto es un prisma de perros, cardos, polvo y cielo. La China Iron, la mujer que ganó martín Fierro en una partida de cartas, acompaña a Liz, una inglesa que va tras la pista de su marido. La China, ahora liberada de las cuerdas del gaucho, emprende un viaje de exploración por las texturas, los sabores y los placeres que le ofrecen la tierra y su nueva compañera. Después de un largo camino, llegarán al Paraíso, donde encontrarán un mundo libre, en el que las criaturas se abrazan por deseo y los ríos, los pájaros y los árboles gozan del mismo amor. Gabriela Cabezón Cámara conforma un fascinante ejercicio literario donde reimagina el universo del gran relato argentino en clave de género, a través de una apasionada aventura queer.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONThe most dynamic reworking of the Argentinean classic Martín Fierro, this is a radical novel about the liberation of a woman who embraces the boundless landscapes of La Pampa.   Radiant and luminous. The desert is a prism of dogs, thistles, dust, and sky. The China Iron, the woman who beat Martín Fierro at a game of cards, accompanies Liz, an Englishwoman who is searching for her husband.   China, now free of the gaucho’s lasso, embarks on a journey of exploration through the textures, flavors, and pleasures that the land and her new companion offer.   After a long journey, they arrive in Paraíso, where they find a free world in which the creatures embrace each other in desire and the rivers, birds, and trees enjoy the same sort of love. Gabriela Cabezón Cámara composes a fascinating literary exercise in which she reimagines the universe of the great Argentinean tale in the key of gender, through a passionate queer adventure.

Leopoldo Lugones El payador: the ultimate Martin Fierro textbook Leopoldo Lugones career as a poet and man of letters was undoubtedly hampered by his everchanging, but always passionate and sometimes questionable, political views. First an anarchist, then a socialist, finally a fascist, Lugones was a friend of Rubén Darío and the outstanding modernista poet of Argentina. His early volumes ( Las montañas de oro [the golden mountains] (1897), Los crepúsculos del jardín [twilights in the garden] (1905), and El lunario sentimental [sentimental almanac] (1909) were influenced by Victor Hugo and Walt Whitman. Later he turned to realism and satire, emphasizing epic and patriotic themes. In his novels and short stories, Lugones ranges from naturalistic explorations of Argentine history ( La guerra gaucha, 1905) to literature of the fantastic (Las fuerzas extrañas, 1906). In 1913, just arived from Europe, Lugones was invited to give a series of lectures in the Odeon theatre of Buenos Aires. The six lectures were attended by the most important people of the times, including then president Roque Sáenz Peña and most of his cabinet. Three years later Lugones published El Payador, as a recopilation of his lectures. The main topic of the book is "Martín Fierro", and it sets the basis of the still on going discussion about whether Martin Fierro or Don Segundo Sombra should be considered the Argentine gaucho role model. Our edition follows the 1916 original book , but comprises no less than 260 notes, adding lexicographic ones to the author's own reflections. It also includes the musical scores that underlined the fifth conference, and quite soon we will have free downloadable recordings available in our website. We believe that this annotated edition constitutes an important reading for all students of Southamerican literature.
