Milenio

Appropriate for a one or two semester survey course at the fifth semester or beyond-ideal for majors, minors, and even non-majors, <i>Milenio</i> provides a survey of Spanish literature from its origins to the present. Most selections are excerpts from longer works, although all function as independent units. <i>Milenio</i> features a number of complete stories, essays, poems and one-act plays. Selections are ample enough to give students an idea of the author’s writing, yet short enough to be treated in one or two class periods. <i>Milenio</i> provides enough selections to allow instructors to pick and choose according to their own preferences. Female authors include: Teresa de Ávila, Ana Caro, María de Zayas, Carmen Laforet, Ana María Matute, Soledad Puértolas, and Rosa Montero. In addition, <i>Milenio</i> contains Spanish works by regional writers such as Pere Gimferrer and Jon Juaristi. <i>Milenio</i> includes many tools that enable the student to read the selections with minimal difficulty. Each selection is followed by a list of <i>Temas</i> or review questions.
