Designed for students, this one-volume introductory anthology of Latin American literature includes a thoughtful selection of the most representative authors and their works in a well-organized and easy-to-read format. A variety of themes and styles appear, with chapters from novels, essays, poetry, plays, letters, and diaries. Biographical information about each author is supplemented by reading guidelines and a synopsis. The book is divided into three sections: "Conquistas y colonia" explores the works of such early figures as Columbus, Bernal Diaz del Castillo, and el Inca Garcilaso. "Independencia politica, literaria y cultural" includes Simon Bolivar, Jose Marti, Ruben Dario, and others. The final section, "Precursores y contemporaneos," introduces 20th-century authors such as Jorge Luis Borges, Pablo Neruda, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Octavio Paz, Mario Vargas Llosa, and more.
