5.0 out of 5 stars Spanish literature made easy, May 18, 2001

By	Carolina "[e-mail]" (Tucson, AZ) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Aproximaciones al estudio de la literatura hispanica (Paperback)

Aproximaciones is a wonderful tool for the student learning about Spanish literature. The selections are well analyzed by the author and the biographies provide an overview of the cultures and perspectives of the different time periods. The chronological order of the readings makes it easy to understand the different stages of the Spanish literature and the various literary movements affecting the arts, the philosophy, and society of medieval to modern times.

This review is from: Aproximaciones al estudio de la literatura hispanica (Paperback)

This is an extremely helpful book for those who start studying literary analysis in Spanish as well as for very green literary scholars. The introduction to the special terms is easy to follow and the english equivalents are in their right places and don't distract you. Go ahead, you'll love using it in your Spanish or literary analysis class!

4.0 out of 5 stars An interesting diverse book, September 5, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Aproximaciones Al Estudio De LA Literatura Hispanica (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)

The book Aproximaciones is a great book about Hispanic literature. There are short stories of narrative, and drama. I specially like the poems of many famous Hispanic authors of all time. This book is nice because if there is a hard vocabulary word, they give the other meaning of it in Spanish and sometimes in English too. Before each reading there is a little biography about the author you are going to read about It is truly a really good book, I recommend to all interested in great literature reading in Spanish.
