		Gabriela Mistral ^Votes:0 Gabriela Mistral(1922): Poems Gabriela Mistral, a Nobel laureate, is one of Chile's most distinguished writers. After an early love affair, tragically ended by the untimely death of her lover, she lived a life of self-described desolation, yearning for, but never experiencing motherhood. She turned her personal tragedy into beautiful poetry which offers intellectual and spiritual love, compassion, and courageous nurturance to others, especially children or others in need of protection. What contrast is the poet drawing between the "deserted" world and her own state? Why is she "not alone?" I Am Not Alone The night, it is deserted from the mountains to the sea. But I, the one who rocks you, I am not alone! The sky, it is deserted for the moon falls to the sea. But I, the Read More Go to Site

		Julio Cortazar - "Fafner the Dragon" ^Votes:0 Fafner the Dragon by Julio CortÁzar (1914-1984) "So from time to time I stop working, I wander around in the streets, I go into a bar, I observe what's happening in town and I gossip with the old man who sells me my lunch-time sausage because the Dragon-it's high time I introduced you to him-is a kind of moving house or seashell on wheels that my obsessive love for Wagner impelled me to call Fafner. A red Volkswagen with a water-tank, and a seat that lets down into a bed. I have added a radio, a typewriter, books, bottles of red wine, packets of soup and cardboard mugs. Plus swimming trunks for whenever the opportunity arises, a lamp and a gas-ring that turns tinned food into a meal while I listen to Vivaldi or pen these words. "This stuff about the Dragon stems from a long-felt need. I ha Read More Go to Site

		Who Was Machado de Assis? ^Votes:0 Who Was Machado de Assis? ". . . the greatest author ever produced in Latin America . . ." Susan Sontag, The New Yorker , May 7, 1990, p. 107 Machado's Life: "Not everything is clear in life or in books." To find strong evidence for this understated aphorism [from Dom Casmurro ], one need go no further than . . . Machado de Assis, the man who wrote it. Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis was born in Rio de Janeiro in 1839 to a Portuguese mother and a Brazilian mulato father. By all accounts the family was extremely poor, and the boy's formal education never went beyond the elementary level.
