By the River Piedra I sat down and wept
\"The story of a young Spanish woman, Pilar, and her encounter with her lost love, an unnamed spiritual seeker who comes to worship the feminine face of God. Clarke's translation is, as usual, somewhat hurried and condensed as if he's impatient with Coelho's admittedly belabored and self-consciously poetical style\"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58. http://www.loc.gov/hlas/

Cent ans aux Pyrénées
Extrait: \"Il n'y a plus de Pyrénées! Mot célèbre; mot ingrat de la part d'un homme qui avait envoyé son petit duc du Maine aux eaux de Barèges; surtout, mot prématuré, le contraire de la vérité, et fait pour mettre hors d'eux les futurs alpinistes ou pyrénéistes. A le risquer hardi, le mot vrai eût été: Il n'y a pas encore de Pyrénées.\" À PROPOS DES ÉDITIONS LIGARAN: Les éditions LIGARAN proposent des versions numériques de grands classiques de la littérature ainsi que des livres rares, dans les domaines suivants: • Fiction: roman, poésie, théâtre, jeunesse, policier, libertin.

Pío Baroja y «El caballero de Erlaiz»: claves de una novela
El caballero de Erlaiz is one of the novels by Pío Baroja that have been most neglected. Written after his return from exile in Paris during the Spanish war, it contains an embarrassing incursion in the 18th century and the War of the Pyrenees, that is, in events more distant than the ones he had usually written about in trilogies like La selva oscura, pieces such as Zalacaín el aventurero or the series Memorias de un hombre de acción, which deal with the 19th and the 20th centuries. In this paper I suggest that below this journey in History Baroja was not only praising the spirit of the Enlightenment but also developing a criticism of the present, through a reconsideration of History and the genre of historical novel. El caballero de Erlaiz es una de las novelas más desapercibidas de la larga trayectoria de su autor, Pío Baroja. Escrita al regreso de su exilio en París, supone una desconcertante incursión en el siglo XVIII y la guerra de la Convención, es decir, en unos acontecimientos más lejanos que los que el autor trató en trilogías como La selva oscura, piezas como Zalacaín el aventurero o la serie Memorias de un hombre de acción, que estudiaban los siglos XIX y XX. En este artículo sostengo que bajo el ropaje histórico Baroja realizaba no solo una vindicación y una loa del espíritu ilustrado sino una enésima crítica del presente, desde una reflexión sobre la Historia y el género de la novela histórica.

In response to Aurore’s emotional and physical distress, the Bazouin sisters, on a visit to Nohant en route to the Pyrenees, had suggested that she join them on holiday at Cauterets and Bagnères. Before leaving, Aurore wrote her mother, recalling their difficult journey to Spain when she was four years old. “We’re going to take a little trip of 140 leagues in one stretch. That’s nothing for you who go to Spain the way one goes to
