Un tal Alfonso, es una semiautobiografía de pocas páginas donde el autor pretende encajonar el tiempo ido y el tiempo presente, manejando las ideas sin dramatismo. Las anécdotas apocalíptica de la consumación de los siglos, que desentona la razón. Un buen lector, puede digerir el sensacionalismo de una información; pero hay otro público que le es difícil entender lo que puede, o no puede suceder. Es de nobleza que haya alguien que le baje la "nota" a la sintonía apocalíptica; para seguir viviendo en fe. Ciertamente, hay un nuevo amanecer.

The Last Days of Humanism: A Reappraisal of Quevedo's Thought

By: Alfonso Rey

Francisco de Quevedo (Madrid, 1580-1645) was well known for his rich and dynamic style, achieved through an ingenious and complex manipulation of language. Yet he was also a consistent and systematic thinker, with moral philosophy, broadly understood, lying at the core of his numerous and varied works. Quevedo lived in an age of transition, with the Humanist tradition on the wane, and his writing expresses the characteristic uncertainty of a moment of cultural transition. In this book Alfonso Rey surveys Quevedo's ideas in such diverse fields as ethics, politics, religion and literature, ideas which hitherto have received little attention. New information is also provided towards a reconstruction of the cultural evolution of Europe in the years prior to the Enlightenment, and thus the scope of the book extends beyond that of Spanish literature.

The Cuban Filmography

1897 through 2001

By: Alfonso J. García Osuna

On January 24, 1897, an event took place that would change Cuban culture forever: the first moving pictures were shown in Havana. A couple of weeks later, on February 7, the first movie was filmed on the island. Since then, cinematography and Cuba have shared peculiar and innate connections, as their beginnings roughly coincide and Cubans are living in both the age of independence and revolution and the age of film. This work is a filmography of every Cuban film (including documentaries, shorts and cartoons) released from 1897, the first year films were shown and made in Cuba, through 2001. Each entry gives the original title of the film, the English translation of it, director, production company or companies, year of release, black and white or color, total running time, writing credits if the film is based on a story or novel, animation credits if the film is a cartoon, music credits if music has been written specifically for the film, cast credits, and a synopsis and short critical evaluation. The work also provides comments on the relationship between Cuban film and history, and the changes that have taken place over the years in themes, topics, methods, and other aspects of filmmaking in Cuba.
