Description
Ariel (1922) is an essay by JosAc Enrique RodA3. Originally published in Spanish in 1900, Ariel was translated into English just five years after the authorâ?Ts death by F. J. Stimson, the former U. S. Ambassador to Argentina. The essay was immediately influential in Uruguay and across Latin America as an essential document of modernismo, a literary movement which sought to unite classical values and contemporary culture through a devotion to beauty and form. â?oThe gifts of the youthful spiritâ?"enthusiasm and hopeâ?"correspond in the harmonies of history and natural history to movement and to light. Wherever you shall turn your eyes you will find these, the natural atmosphere in which move all things that are strong and beautiful.â?? Captivated by a bronze statue of Ariel from Shakespeareâ?Ts The Tempest, a teacher known as Prospero speaks passionately to his young students on the eve of summer vacation. Taking a historical view of human civilization, JosAc Enrique RodA3 applies the teachings of the Enlightenment to the political reality facing Latin America in the early twentieth century. Promoting morality and idealism over the encroaching utilitarianism of North America, RodA3 crafted what one critic called â?othe ethical gospel of the Spanish-speaking new world.â?? With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of JosAc Enrique RodA3â?Ts Ariel is a classic of Uruguayan literature reimagined for modern readers.
