  • Los Cuentos De Mi Infancia
    ESCUELA POLITECNICA DEL EJÉRCITO DEPARTAMENTO DE CIENCIAS HUMANAS Y SOCIALES ENSAYO LOS CUENTOS DE MI INFANCIA (METODOLOGÍA PARA ESCRIBIR UN CUENTO O GENERAR UNA OBRA DE ARTE) DR. CARLOS ARGÜELLO 2012 INTRODUCCIÓN En las siguientes páginas de este ensayo, estimado lector, Ud. disfrutará de un retorno a su infancia, tanto en tiempo como en imaginación, en el viaje se cruzaran imágenes que fueron de la vida cotidiana entre los 12 y 15 años. Los retratos de los amigos y compañeros de infancia y pre adolescencia se apresuran por salir a flote, creando una confusión de cuello de botella, van saliendo los recuerdos uno tras de otro y las aventuras son tantas, que en forma inconsciente, las emociones galopan a velocidades increíbles dejando una huella con sabor a nostalgia y sorpresa. En fin, cada porción de sus memorias cobran vida y surge la figura de cada persona que no ha visto por 20 años o más. Sin contar con los amigos imaginarios y otras fantasías de la pre adolescencia. Inclusive vienen imágenes sonoras y diálogos de infidencias, y el robo del beso a su mejor amiga, la larga caminata para llegar al rio o la cima de la montaña para ver volar a las aves, como también, ir al huerto y oír como es el mugido de una vaca o el relincho del caballo, entre otros lenguajes de la bucólica vida de una ciudad de Ecuador, entre las décadas del 1950 hasta 1965. El interés es revivir etapas de la vida que crecieron y se desarrollaron sin los conflictos sociales de hoy día.

In my analysis, I have also pointed out some of the alterations Michel made to his father’s version when later editing it for inclusion in the posthumous 1910 edition of Verne’s Hier et demain [Yesterday and Tomorrow], now retitled « Au XXIXe siècle : La Journée d’un journaliste américain en 2889 » [In the 29th Century: The Day of an American Journalist in 2889].

  • History of Vernian Studies
    Submitted December 14, 2016 Published May 16, 2017 Proposé le 14 décembre 2016 Publié le 16 mai 2017 History of Vernian Studies Jean-Michel Margot Abstract The study of Jules Verne's œuvre began during his own lifetime. In 1966 his works came into the public domain and many French publishers began to reprint them in special editions. New, more accurate, translations soon followed, and Verne scholars discovered previously unpublished pieces.
