Chronicle Concering Books Poema de mio Cid
Poema épico, se trata del texto más representativo del arte de los juglares españoles de la Edad Media. El poema fue probablemente compuesto entre 1110-1140, no mucho después de los hechos a los que se refiere. El poema, dividido en tres partes o cantares, narra el destierro y las aventuras del Cid, Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar. El tema del deshonor y la recuperación de la honra constituyen el eje central de la obra, que describe la mentalidad y los valores éticos de la época. Muchos de los personajes y hechos que muestra están atestiguados, lo cual le confiere un gran valor histórico.Specify Books Conducive To Poema de mio Cid

Another well, no wonder its a classic from my project of reading from Philip Wards A Lifetime's Reading: Five Hundred Great Books to be Enjoyed over 50 Years. But Poem of the Cid can be two different types of experience. I read two translation side by side. I started with Paul Blackburns modern verse translation, when I found it at the library book store. I had just read Blackburns translations of troubadour poetry and liked them very much, so I thought Id continue. But then, once in andExcellent. It was great that this was my first time, having all the critique and contextual elements to appreciate it and not simply say: "An old book about a knight that kills arabs, must be anti-islam" like most of the immature popular trend does today. A true masterpiece in its own way, builds a reflexive stereotype of the hero, something unusual if you're used to greek tragedy, but equally (if not more) exciting.
The poetry is obvious in the Spanish on the left page, the translation on the right tells the story. The classic bloody tale of brutality in the middle ages.
What I took from this is the way that art can be used as propaganda. Though it is fun to read and the form is pleasing as well as the language (i read the Merwin translation) the Cid is a story of how a national hero could do nothong wrong and everything worked out for him. If you take this poem at face value you see his successes and you not only fee lproud but also want to emulate the Hero. The Cid is a hero who never has to grow or develop to overcome obstacles. instead he stand by his
This book has it all! Swords! Dancing! And beards! All tangled up in an epic "historic" poem. The Cid--a gallantly bearded knight banished by his king for crimes he did not commit--goes smiting and smashing all over Spain, killing Moors like flies and creating a kingdom of his own by the sweat of his beard. And oh what a beard it is! The Beard of The Cid manages to become arguably one of the greatest sidekicks of all time. I myself am growing my own beard in solidarity with the Beard of the Cid.
From a modern American perspective, The Cid seems an odd choice for a national hero. He was a highly successful battle commander, but half his career was spent as a raider. He lived off the lands of Moors who had done him no wrong and lived under the protection of christian nobles. So in one of The Poem of The Cid's most dramatic moments, the 'arrogant' Count of Barcelona challenges The Cid regarding the injustice of his plundering ways. The Cid's response is pure practicality; 'I need it for my
This book has been sitting around my bookshelves for a long time, ever since a friend from college gave it to me on a whim; and because of my impending trip to Spain, I finally decided to pick it up. It is a quick and light read; and I was pleased to find out that this is the oldest extant epic poem in Castilian, and a foundational work of Spanish literature. So Ive done my homework. The poem tells the story of Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar (1043 1099), a medieval Spanish nobleman and military leader
