        Platero und ich

        Andalusische Elegie

        by Juan Ramón Jiménez, Fritz Vogelgsang

        "Eine literarische Entdeckung besonderer Art bietet dieses Buch; die Entdeckung eines längst weltberühmten und vielgeliebten Meisterwerks der klassischen Moderne. Die Lektüre läßt den Reiz und den Rang einer Prosadichtung eigener Art erahnen, deren Originaltext - wie Luis Cernuda schrieb - ein Sprachkunstwerk von »einzigartiger Frische und Lebendigkeit des Ausdrucks« ist: «Das andalusische Ambiente hat sich wohl selten mit soviel dichterischer Wahrheit offenbart . . .«"

        Gentleman George Hunt Pendleton

        Party Politics and Ideological Identity in Nineteenth-Century America

        by Thomas Mach (author)

        The first modern biography of this notable politician“Mach’s detailed and thoughtful examination of Ohio lawyer-politician-diplomat George Hunt Pendleton is an impressive piece of scholarship and will surely be the standard for decades to come.” —H. Roger Grant, Department of History, Clemson University“George H. Pendleton was a significant and prominent Ohio and national politician who clearly merits a biography.” —Frederick Blue, emeritus, Youngstown State UniversityGeorge Hunt Pendleton is a significant but neglected figure in the history of nineteenth-century politics. A Democrat from Cincinnati, Ohio, Pendleton led the midwestern faction of the party for much of the nineteenth century. He served in the Ohio Senate for one term before serving in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1857 until 1865. He was a leader of the Extreme Peace Democrats during the Civil War and was General George B. McClellan’s running mate in the presidential campaign of 1864. Losing both the election and his seat in the House, he spent almost fifteen years out of public office. During those years he remained active in the Democratic Party both within Ohio and across the nation and was rewarded with a seat in the U.S. Senate. Serving one term from 1879 to 1885, Pendleton fathered the first major civil service reform legislation, the Pendleton Act of 1883.“Gentleman George” not only provides a microcosm of Democratic Party operations during Pendleton’s lifetime but is also a case study in the longevity of Jacksonian principles. In an era of intense Democratic factionalism stretching from the 1850s to the 1880s, Pendleton sought to unite the divided party around its traditional Jacksonian principles, which, when reapplied to address the changing political issues, became the foundation of the midwestern Democratic ideology.With its close examination of nineteenth-century American politics, this biography will be welcomed by scholars and lovers of history alike.

        Atrito

        by Reynaldo Jiménez

        Se dice de la irradiación como la emisión de radiaciones luminosas, térmicas o magnéticas. Las palabras de alta actividad contienen elementos cuya irradiación se puede mantener durante siglos. Leer ATRITO en voz alta, direcciona a percibir la sonoridad potente. El mantra de una poética. Palabras no ordinarias, palabras de alienígena lenguaje, invenciones, reunión de sílabas para la ejecución gutural: nuevos sonidos. Partitura. Cántico. Abducción dicción. Algo conmociona por dentro con estas reverberaciones. Por alguna extraña razón, todo siempre coincide en una danza. Imagen: carátula: mantra sonoro. Radiaciones visuales donde lo Escheriano converge, rizoma. Radiaciones palabras emitidas desde cada página: El aire, el tacto, las acciones de las manos, la respiración: Anahata. No es necesario explicar la transmisión puesto que es, sucede. ATRITO potencia como cuando las grandes olas golpean contra las rocas. Una y otra vez. Así.
