14. El diccionario tarahumara – alemán de Matthäus Steffel

Author

Maria Brumm, Greta de León, Aarón Grageda Bustamante, Zarina Estrada Fernández, and William Lewis Merrill

Abstract

Este libro ofrece la primera traducción al español del único diccionario de la lengua tarahumara producido durante la época colonial que perdura hoy en día, así como el primer análisis detallado de su contenido. Perteneciente a la familia lingüística yuto-nahua, la lengua tarahumara es hablada en el norte de México por más de 80,000 personas, quienes se refieren a su idioma y a sí mismos como Ararámuri@. El diccionario, escrito en alemán, fue compilado por el jesuita moravo Matthäus Steffel y está basado en su experiencia como misionero entre los tarahumaras durante los años de 1761 y 1767. Más de mil palabras tarahumaras, así como diversas dimensiones de la gramática del idioma, son documentadas y sus entradas léxicas son enriquecidas con descripciones precisas de la cultura tarahumara del siglo xviii. El libro incluye traducciones y transcripciones de las dos versiones existentes del diccionario. Estas se complementan por capítulos analíticos y apéndices que facilitan el uso de los datos que contienen e indican el valor de la obra para la investigación lingüística y antropológica moderna.

29. Robert Cantwell

Author

Lewis, Merrill and Lewis, Merrill

Abstract

Robert Emmett Cantwell died at seventy in New York City on 8 December 1978 with his roots in the Pacific Northwest unacknowledged and his varied career as a professional writer still largely unrecognized and unaccounted for. The career that started with the publication of a short story, "Hang by My Thumbs,” in 1929 and included the publication of two highly regarded novels, Laugh and Lie Down in 1931 and The Land of Plenty in 1934, seemed to have receded into obscurity.

39. Beyond the Glass Mountain by Wallace Stegner.

Author

Lewis, Merrill

Abstract

Superficially, the situation in "Beyond the Glass Mountain" is an American commonplace. It concerns a very brief reunion of Mark Aker, a Yale University medical professor and researcher, with his former college friend Mel Cottam, a small businessperson in Iowa City, Iowa, after a seventeen-year separation. The reunion begins for Mark with a nostalgic return to Iowa City and his recollections of the college town and the college world that gave him "the best days of his life." He returns, also, in response to what he perceives is a call for help from Mel. He hopes to repay a profound personal debt to the man who made those days possible. The reunion is cut short, however, when Mark cannot penetrate the wall that time and experience have put between them; he is unable to bring himself to pry into Mel's private world and unable to find the words that would set it all right with them again.
