Paperback. Condition: Good. Don lvaro, or the Force of Fate by ngel de Saavedra, Duke of Rivas (1791-1865), premiered in 1835 in Madrid and changed the Spanish stage forever after. It was the benchmark Romantic play of early nineteenth-century Spain. In this English edition designed for either classroom use or performance, Robert Fedorchek presents a readable translation faithful to the tone and spirit of the original. Joyce Tolliver enhances the book with a rich introduction highlighting the work's lasting significance.The play tells of the torrid love of the mysterious Don lvaro and the lovely Do a Leonor, and how fate intervenes--by way of lvaro's role in the accidental death of Leonor's father--to bring about the extermination of Leonor's family at the hands of the man who loves her to distraction. Although chronologically not the first Spanish Romantic drama, Don lvaro is generally considered the true exponent of the freedom of expression that Romanticism brought to the theater. It does away with all the Neoclassical rules: it exceeds twenty-four hours; the action takes place in two countries; it mixes high and low; prose alternates with verse; and the characters express, melodramatically and passionately, their innermost feelings. It is also generally considered the first play in the best trilogy, along with Antonio Garc a Guti rrez's El trovador (The troubadour, 1836) and Juan Eugenio Hartzenbusch's Los amantes de Teruel (The lovers of Teruel, 1837).ABOUT THE TRANSLATOR: Robert M. Fedorchek is Professor of Spanish at Fairfield University. He has translated into English numerous works, among them Stories of Enchantment from Nineteenth-Century Spain, Juan Valera's Do a Luz, and Concha Castroviejo's The Garden with Seven Gates. Joyce Tolliver is Associate Professor of Spanish and Women's Studies at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and has published widely on nineteenth-century Spanish literature.PRAISE FOR THE BOOK: This smooth, lively translation is the latest of Fedorchek's excellent renderings into English of 19th century Spanish works of literature. . . . Highly recommended. Lower-/upper-division undergraduates studying literature in translation. -- E.E.Norden, ChoiceFedorchek's translation is superb. It captures the heightened drama of the original while smoothing out the play's more unrealistic passages . . . Still managing to remain faithful to Rivas's spirit and intention.--David T. Gies, University of VirginiaFedorchek's excellent new translation brings this important play to life. Unsubtle, bombastic, and intense, Don lvaro marked the beginning of the romantic explosion that was to change the direction of Spanish literature. Its representation of the effects of an implacable force on a young couple can still move readers willing to enter a world where irony is not a human prerogative, but rather that of a cruel star.--Alan E. Smith, Boston UniversityOne of Spanish Romanticism's darkest and wildest characters, Don lvaro, lives again in this excellent translation. Robert Fedorchek's energized English will delight new readers discovering for the first time the unforgettable envoy from hell.-- No l Valis, Yale UniversityIn 1835 the duke of Rivas presented his Madrid audience with a tremendous romantic hero; Robert M. Fedorchek has recreated him magnificently for a new set of Anglophone readers today. . . . T]his play is an enjoyable way to introduce discussions of empire, race, and the political situation of the early nineteenth century. . . . Overall the translation is excellent. Indeed, a number of the lyric passages are breathtakingly beautiful and an homage to the duke of Rivas's style. -- Lisa Surwillo, The Society for Spanish and Portuguese Historical Studies Bulletin.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "Viaje al Vesubio", obra escrita por el Duque de Rivas, Angel de Saavedra, es una fascinante libro de viaje que mezcla observacion naturalista, experiencia personal y reflexion filosofica. Esta obra nos transporta a la primera mitad del siglo XIX, cuando el autor, exiliado por motivos politicos, encontro en el paisaje italiano y, especificamente, en el Vesubio, una fuente de inspiracion que cristalizo en este texto, que es a la vez descriptivo y profundamente emotivo.El libro comienza con la llegada del autor a Napoles y su inmediata fascinacion por el imponente volcan Vesubio, que domina la region en su geografia y en el imaginario colectivo. Saavedra nos introduce en su aventura nocturna hacia la cima del volcan, una travesia cargada de peligros y de belleza natural. A traves de descripciones minuciosas, el lector acompana al autor y su grupo de expedicionarios en una escalada que es fisica y tambien metaforica, reflejando las alturas y abismos de la condicion humana.El texto se divide en varias etapas de la ascension, desde la partida de Napoles, pasando por la ermita situada en la ladera del volcan, hasta la llegada al crater en plena madrugada. Cada etapa esta narrada con un rico detalle, destacando tanto la magnificencia del paisaje como los desafios que presenta el terreno, lo cual es emblematico del estilo romantico que impregna toda la obra.El Vesubio es un telon de fondo; y un personaje mas del relato, un simbolo de la fuerza incontrolable de la naturaleza frente a la fragilidad humana. Saavedra, influido por la tradicion romantica europea, particularmente por autores como Lord Byron y Walter Scott, infunde en su narracion un sentido de lo sublime, donde la naturaleza es contemplada en toda su grandeza y terror.El estilo de Saavedra es vibrante y poetico, lleno de imagenes poderosas que evocan la belleza y el peligro. El autor describe lo que ve, mientras invita al lector a sentir la misma mezcla de admiracion y temor que experimenta ante el espectaculo del volcan. Las descripciones del fuego, las escorias, el humo, y la vista del amanecer desde la cumbre, son tan vividas que casi pueden sentirse los vapores sulfurosos y el calor abrasador del crater. El duque de Rivas fue embajador en Napoles. Durante su estancia escribio Viaje al Vesubio, entre otros libros sobre Italia.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "El hospedador de provincia", escrito por Angel Saavedra, Duque de Rivas, es un agudo retrato social y un comentario sobre la tradicion de hospitalidad en la Espana del siglo XIX. Saavedra, a traves de una narrativa detallada y reflexiva, examina la figura del hospedador de provincia, un personaje que, segun el, representa tanto una virtud estimable como una faceta problematica de la sociedad espanola.El autor inicia con una descripcion del hospedador de provincia como un tipo social inmutable, una "planta indigena" de la sociedad espanola, que se complace en alojar y atender a los viajeros. Saavedra senala que, si bien esta practica de hospitalidad es vista como una obra de misericordia y un deber religioso y humano, no siempre resulta en una experiencia agradable para el viajero. De hecho, el autor sugiere que, en ocasiones, el hospedador puede convertirse en un verdugo atormentador para el fatigado viajero, mas que en un proveedor de confort y refugio.El texto tambien reflexiona sobre la naturaleza de la hospitalidad como una virtud mas comun en las sociedades menos civilizadas o en las etapas tempranas de desarrollo social, donde la hospitalidad no era solo una virtud, sino tambien un deber religioso y un creador de vinculos entre personas y comunidades. Saavedra sugiere que, en los contextos mas civilizados, esta practica puede perder su valor y transformarse en algo menos genuino y mas problematico.La obra de Saavedra es una critica a una costumbre social y reflexiona sobre como las tradiciones pueden ser reinterpretadas y como pueden cambiar sus significados y efectos en diferentes contextos sociales y temporales. A traves de su descripcion del hospedador de provincia, Saavedra brinda una vision perspicaz de las complejidades de la hospitalidad y su lugar en la cultura espanola. El hospedador de provincia", escrito por Angel Saavedra, Duque de Rivas, es un agudo retrato social y un comentario sobre la tradicion de hospitalidad en la Espana del siglo XIX.
