A Giant Addition to the Discussion

Probably nothing evokes more controversy in America, and among her citizens, than the historical lineage of the novel form. FINALLY there is one volume from the highest of native literary authorities that takes us on this major tour with a level headed and thoroughly researched approach. This is a STRONG buy in the used book market. Super duper value.

un buen libro de consulta

este libro es excelente no solo para los que quieren encontrar una consulta rapida, sino para el inicio de un estudio profundo de literatura.esta bien, hay que admitir que no es ciento por ciento completo y que en la parte de literatura caribena, excluye a algunos, pero es un buen comienzo para este libro, ojala que en ediciones subsiguientes se siga ampliando la parte que toca mas a latinoamerica.LUIS MENDEZ crazzyteacher@hotmail.com
