Juana Borrero: Historia, Pasion Y Arte (Spanish Edition)

Cointa G. Martin was born in Havana, Cuba, and now lives in Miami, Florida. He received a bachelor of arts degree in literature (Doctor en Filosofia in Spanish) from Florida International University in 2012. His doctoral thesis, Mundos prohibidos: el poder en el discurso epistolar de Gertrudis GOmez de Avellaneda y Juana Borrero. History, passion and art are the thematic axes on which revolve the more than 200 letters that the young Cuban poet, Juana Borrero, wrote to the poet from Matanzas, Carlos Pius Uhrbach. Yes, they are love letters, but they are also searching for creative spaces in the function of art, a pretexts for writing that during the last year of her life (1895-1896) were the framework to the experiences of a family caught in the middle of a conflict to which Cubans on the Island were plunged into, as well as those in exile in Key West. Juana Borrero: historia pasiOn y arte, from a perspective of literary approximation, goes on a journey of amazing intimate discoveries through letters. It is a rescue project for marginalized documents in literature that enrich not only the Cuban historical and cultural heritage, but also the legacy of modernist art. Today, at the threshold of a new era of written communication, Juana's letters are a bridge of continuity in the epistolary tradition, that is to say, between letters and email. It is possible that other "epistolarios" will be published by a new generation, then it would not be strange that we again delve into the possible literary value of cybernetic correspondence.
