de Reyes a Lobos: Seis Ensayos Sobre Cervantes


Add your own review!

Overview

De reyes a lobos focuses on the three key texts by Miguel de Cervantes which must be central to any understanding of the ideological evolution of the author of the first modern novel. In six separate essays, Professor Graf unveils Cervantes's art as a series of dissenting meditations on the significance of Habsburg power and governance. He begins by profiling the Erasmian humanism of the aggressive princely advice for Philip II found at the heart of Cervantes's early play La Numancia (c.1580); he concludes by unveiling the stoical, late-scholastic cynicism that underwrites what remains Cervantes's most enigmatic narrative, La novela y coloquio de los perros (c.1605). In the middle are four innovative analyses of Cervantes's magnum opus, Don Quijote de la Mancha (part one, 1605; part two, 1615), wherein Graf explains how such classical sources as Apuleius and Plato, along with the ideas of the early modern Jesuit philosopher Juan de Mariana, can help us to grasp the overarching meanings of the text that inaugurated the dominant narrative form of Western civilization. De reyes a lobos se centra en los tres textos de Miguel de Cervantes que resultan fundamentales para la comprension de la evolucion ideologica del autor de la primera novela moderna. A lo largo de seis ensayos separados, el profesor Graf presenta el arte de Cervantes como una serie de meditaciones disidentes sobre la importancia del poder y la gobernanza de los reyes Habsburgo. Comienza perfilando el humanismo erasmista del agresivo consejo principesco para Felipe II que se percibe en la temprana tragicomedia La Numancia (c.1580); concluye desvelando el cinismo estoico y neoescolastico que sustenta lo que sigue siendo la narrativa mas enigmatica de Cervantes, La novela y coloquio de los perros (c.1605). En el medio se encuentran cuatro analisis innovadores de su obra magna, Don Quijote de la Mancha (primera parte, 1605; segunda parte, 1615), en los que Graf explica como fuentes clasicas como Apuleyo y Platon, junto con las ideas del filosofo jesuita Juan de Mariana, nos ayudan a comprender los significados generales del texto que inauguro la forma narrativa dominante de la civilizacion occidental.
