Spanish literature made easy,
By Carolina (Tucson, AZ) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Aproximaciones al estudio de la literatura hispánica (Paperback)
Aproximaciones is a wonderful tool for the student learning about Spanish literature. The selections are well analyzed by the author and the biographies provide an overview of the cultures and perspectives of the different time periods. The chronological order of the readings makes it easy to understand the different stages of the Spanish literature and the various literary movements affecting the arts, the philosophy, and society of medieval to modern times.

An interesting diverse book,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Aproximaciones Al Estudio De LA Literatura Hispanica (Paperback)
The book Aproximaciones is a great book about Hispanic literature. There are short stories of narrative, and drama. I specially like the poems of many famous Hispanic authors of all time. This book is nice because if there is a hard vocabulary word, they give the other meaning of it in Spanish and sometimes in English too. Before each reading there is a little biography about the author you are going to read about It is truly a really good book, I recommend to all interested in great literature reading in Spanish.
