Produktbeschreibung
In 1924 the Chilean novelist Augusto D'Halmar published a daring novel that tells the story of the love between a Basque priest and a young Andalusian in Seville in the days before the First World War. A classic of Latin American queer literature, this critical edition presents for the first time a corrected text (based on the comparison of several editions) with abundant critical commentary which accounts for the cultural complexity of the novel: the use of ecclesiastical Latin, Orientalism, references to the Spanish music of the time, to the history and architecture of Seville, and to the use of a language forged from peninsular Castilian with great attention to the Hispano-Arabic vocabulary and regional Spanish dialects. At the same time, implicit references to the life and works of D'Halmar and some of his Chilean contemporaries are noted. This volume inaugurates the new Series S of the International Institute of Ibero-American Literature, by Daniel Balderston.
