Summary: Introducción a la literatura Hispano-Americana
Review: In my upper level Spanish college class, I used this book last semester, and am using it again this semester. It is a wonderful book, with short stories and poems written by the best authors in Spanish literature. The questions at the end of each work help the reader to understand the meaning of each story, as well as to delve deeper into the Latino/Castillian culture. More difficult or unusual vocabulary words are footnoted at the bottom of each page. I highly recommend this book. It will be especially enjoyed by a native speaker or anyone fairly fluent in Spanish.
