{"product_id":"the-past-of-the-future-anna-marie-aldaz-9780820412870","title":"The Past of the Future: The Novelistic Cycle of Manuel Scorza","description":"This book analyzes the five novels of  La guerra silenciosa  by Manuel Scorza (1928-83) and examines the cycle's underlying unity and development. In his chronicle Scorza describes an Andean peasant uprising which he witnessed in the 1960's. Although many of the names, places, dates, and events are real, the author novelizes them by adding humor, myth, and fantasy to his testimonial. Thematically his novels show affinities with works belonging to the Latin American literary tradition of social protest known as \u003ci\u003eindigenismo\u003c\/i\u003e. However, Scorza renovates and modernizes the genre by incorporating into his narrative the complex stylistic devices of such contemporary writers as Gabriel García Márquez, Mario Vargas Llosa, and Carlos Fuentes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anna-Marie Aldaz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0820412872\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820412870\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Inc., International Academic Publi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/1991\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 193\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Anna-Marie Aldaz","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48457732620543,"sku":"9780820412870","price":64.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_27ac2fe4-c031-4670-9551-03093885945d.jpg?v=1777400705","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-past-of-the-future-anna-marie-aldaz-9780820412870","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
