Amalia

Amalia ha sido señalada, con justicia, como la más importante novela sudamericana del siglo XIX. En una narración ágil, que combina las más dramáticas situaciones con ingeniosos toques de humor, la acción se sitúa en los conflictivos años de la tiranía de Juan Manuel de Rosas. En sus páginas se describen los más diversos tipos humanos, en fiel y vívida pintura: desde los canallescos del bajo fondo hasta los más encumbrados política o socialmente, todo ello avalado por la visión testimonial de su autor, José Mármol, quien fuera, además de contemporáneo y testigo directo, víctima de los excesos que describe. En Amalia encontrará el lector actual, además de un minucioso retrato de época, una atrapante historia donde a los crímenes y pasiones se mezclan los actos de heroísmo, como en los mejores folletines. Junto a los protagonistas Daniel Bello y Eduardo Belgrano, uno que encarna al autor y el otro vagamente inspirado en un personaje real, y a la heroína que da nombre a la novela, desfilan numerosos personajes reales: Juan Manuel de Rosas, su hija Manuelita, sus hermanas Mercedes y Agustina, los bufones, los sanguinarios mazorqueros, todos ellos retratados vívidamente, como si sus pasos aún resonaran en un Buenos Aires pretérito, lejano, pero al mismo tiempo reconocible. Amalia apareció justamente en forma de folletín, cuya continuación los lectores esperaban ansiosamente.

Amalia (California Diaries #4)

With a unique diary page design, the "California Diaries" series is an intimate look at preteen life in the '90s. Amalia Vargas is the new girl in school, and she's fitting right in. With a new group of friends, living by a new set of rules, Amalia's life is spinning in a whole new direction--especially when her boyfriend won't let her break up with him.

Amalia (Library Of Latin America Ser.)

Amalia is one of the most popular Latin American novels and, until recently, was required reading in Argentina's schools. It was written to protest the dictatorship of Juan Manuel de Rosas and to provide a picture of the political events during his regime, but the book's popularity stemmed from the love story that fuels the plot. Originally published in 1851 in serial form, Marmol's novel recounts the story of Eduardo and Amalia, who fall in love while he is hiding in her home. Amalia and her cousin Daniel protect him from Rosist persecution, but before the couple and the cousin can escape to safety, they are discovered by the death squad and the young men die. Similar in style to the romantic novels of Walter Scott, Amalia provides a detailed picture of life under a dictatorship combined with lively dialogue, drama, and a tragic love story.

Amal’ezulu

Amal’ezulu (Zulu Horizons), first published in 1945 in the Bantu (later, African) Treasury Series by the University of the Witwatersrand Press, was the second volume of poetry produced by the renowned Zulu author B.W. Vilakazi. It was written during the ten years he spent living in Johannesburg, in ‘exile’ from his birthplace, KwaZulu-Natal. The poems in this collection represent a turning point in Vilakazi’s life; they express yearnings for the beloved land, animals and ancestral spirits of his rural home, as well as expressions of deep disillusionment with the urban life he encountered in the ‘City of Gold’, and in particular the suffering of the black miners who brought this gold to the surface but never experienced the benefits of the wealth it produced for the mine owners. Vilakazi was deeply conscious of the subhuman system that held these miners in its grip, and gave voice to their suffering in many of the poems in the collection, in particular the now famous poem ‘Ezinkomponi’ (‘On the mine compounds’).Renowned as the father of Nguni literature, Vilakazi was both a traditional imbongi (bard) and a forward-looking poet who could fuse Western poetic forms with Zulu izibongo (praise poetry). In these poems he assumes the role of the voice of the voiceless, and gives poignant expression to the stoic endurance of those caught up in the brutalities of capitalist exploitation of African labour, and the appalling injustices of the migrant labour system.
