New titles
Huerto cerrado by Alfredo Bryce Echenique
If one had to identify one central, defining text from modern Mexican culture, it would be Octavio Paz´s famous essay, El laberinto de la soledad. This fully annotated edition includes the complete text in Spanish (with the author’s final revisions), and notes and additional material in English.
pb 978-0-7190-4874-6 £9.99
Alfredo Bryce Echenique is one of the most widely-read and most widely translated Latin American authors of recent decades, yet this is the first critical edition that makes his work available to students of Hispanic literatures in the English-speaking world. Huerto cerrado-combines humour and informal language to explore adolescence in middle-class Peru.

Veinte poemas de amor y una canción desesperada by Pablo Neruda
Pablo Neruda’s Veinte poemas de amor y una canción desesperada (1924) is the most widely read and best loved book of poetry ever written in Spanish. This new critical edition – the first to include critical notes in Eng-lish – argues that the book constitutes a critical juncture in the young Neruda’s development as a poet, and that the poems are as much painstakingly wrought experiments in style, language and form as they are outpourings of youthful passion. A detailed introduction in English demonstrates that the poems represent the culmination of complex and sometimes fraught poetic apprenticeship, significant traces of which can be found in the poems themselves. This is followed by a series of commentaries which offer close readings of all twenty-one poems, an extensive bibliography, a selected vocabulary, and a list of key rhetorical and metrical terms.
pb 978-0-7190-8056-2 £10.99
This new annotated version of the text comprises an introductory essay discussing green issues, attitudes towards the Spanish peasantry under Franco, and the function of the novel’s subtly orchestrated comedy. It also contains explanatory notes on the text, discussion topics and an extensive Spanish-English glossary. This edition is intended primarily for English-speaking students of Spanish literature and culture at school and university.
El camino by Miguel DelibesEdited by Jeremy Squires
Biografía de un cimarrón by Miguel Barnet and Esteban Montejo Edited by William Rowlandson
This Biography of a runaway slave is arguably the best-known book to have been written and published in revolu-tionary Cuba. The text is the collaboration between ethnographer Miguel Barnet and Esteban Montejo, the result of three years of tape-recorded interviews, transcribed, edited and annotated by Barnet. Montejo provides a first-hand account of slavery in nineteenth-century Cuba – the language, religion, music, and customs – and describes life in the sugar plantations and mills and as a runaway slave. Montejo’s text also covers key historical moments, from slavery to Abolition, the Ten Years War, the Spanish American War, and US intervention in the new republic. pb 978-0-7190-8091-3 £9.99
