For one-semester introduction courses on selected masterpieces of Latin American Literature, or two-semester survey courses on the literatures and cultures of Latin America, or as a reader in more advanced genre courses. Unique in coverage, this comprehensive one-volume anthology of Latin American literatures - from pre-Colombian times to the present - covers not only the authors accepted within the literary canon - but innovative contemporary voices that are now breaking the ethnocentric mold.

This book has an excellent assortment of literary excerpts beginning at the pre-Colombian period. I recommend it for the advanced Spanish student because the old Spanish is hard to understand, as is some of the vocabulary. This book gives good explanations of history, culture, as well as literature from Latin America. If you are up to a challenge, I recommend this book for students interested in learning more about Latin American history.
As a student who recently used this book for a Spanish Lit. class I must say that this book is by far the best that I have encountered. Not only does it cover literature from pre-colombian days but it goes all the way up until today's comtemporary writers. Futhermore each section as well as each author has an introduction which provides the reader with extra insight. Even if you are not a student, but if you are interested in Spanish literature, I highly recommend this book.
I also used this book for a Spanish lit class in undergrad. However, I did not have as great an appreciation for that book as I do now as a Spanish teacher and M.A. candidate. As other reviewers have mentioned, the book is very comprehensive in its history, literature, and culture - I have found this book to be a wonderful reference tool to refresh my memory now and again.
Buen libro . Viejo, pero bueno.
The book is in perfect conditions as described. Can't be happier. My book collection is getting bigger and this book had to be part of it.
