A literary criticism of the work of Colombian author Germán Espinosa is presented. Special attention is given to the influence of the author's childhood on his literary work, particularly the Caribbean culture, as well as his place in the Colombian literary tradition. Espinosa's books discussed include "La noche de la trapa," "Los cortejos del diablo," and "La tejedora de coronas."

The article presents a discussion of the social, political and economic impacts of mining and energy production on the city of Lota, Chile, during the 19th and 20th centuries. The local history of Lota is emphasized, as the author claims the city represents a regional version of the Industrial Revolution. Specific attention is paid to the closing of the mines, the community's identity and rebuilding after that event, and the tenuous social and economic conditions surrounding the unemployed miners.
