Description

Un anÃ¡lisis detallado de la PentagonÃa del autor cubano Reinaldo Arenas. An in-depth analysis of Cuban author's Reinaldo Arenas's Pentagony. Este libro presenta un anÃ¡lisis detallado de la PentagonÃa de Reinaldo Arenas, que incluye las novelas Celestino antes del alba, El palacio de los blanquÃsimas mofetas, Otra vez el mar, El color del verano, y El asalto.

A travÃ©s del uso de la ficciÃ³n, Arenas ofrece un testimonio de la opresiÃ³n que sufriÃ³ en Cuba como escritor homosexual durante los aÃ±os sesenta y los setenta.

Este libro pone de relieve el hecho de que, aunque su trabajo no cumpla con las pautas de la novela testimonial cubana, le da una voz a aquellos que fueron silenciados por el gobierno revolucionario.

Los dos primeros capÃtulos ofrecen una visiÃ³n general de los gÃ©neros literarios relevantes para este estudio, como la autobiografÃa, la novela autobiogrÃ¡fica y la novela testimonial, asÃ como del contexto socio-histÃ³rico de la PentagonÃa.

Posteriormente, este estudio analiza en detalle cada novela por separado, y ofrece una visiÃ³n dentagonÃa en su conjunto. StÃ©phanie Panichelli-Batalla es profesora titular de espaÃ±ol y estudios latinoamericanos en la Universidad de Aston. This book presents an in-depth analysis of Reinaldo Arenas's Pentagony, which includes the novels Singing from the Well, The Palace of the White Skunks, Farewell to the Sea, The Color of Summer, and The Assault.

Through the use of fiction, Arenas offersa testimony of the oppression he suffered in Cuba during the sixties and the seventies as a homosexual writer.

This book highlights the fact that although his work does not comply with the guidelines of the Cuban documentary novel, it does give a strong voice to those who were silenced by the Revolutionary government.

The first two chapters provide an overview of literary genres relevant to this study, such as the autobiography, autobiographical novel anddocumentary novel, as well as the socio-historical context of the novels.

Subsequently, this study looks in detail at each novel separately, offering a comprehensive overview of the Pentagony as a whole. StÃ©phanie Panichelli-Batalla is a Lecturer of Spanish and Latin American Studies at Aston University.
