- Notes:
- " The geographic backdrop of the work of three noted South American writers is reviewed under the stylistic categories of tellurism, mythical realism and magical realism. The acute sense of place demonstrated by these authors is explained on the basis of ethnical roots, collective mental constructs and colonial experiences. Jose? Maria Arguedas has offered a poignant socio-mythical interpretation of the rise and fall of Chimbote, Peru's major fishing port in his postumous novel El zorro de arriba y el zorro de abajo which is useful to grasp the problems of that country. The atmosphere of Caribbean Colombia has been recorded with great vigor in several novels of Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Tellurism acquires a particular significance in three poems of Neruda which are presented as examples of his poetic views of physical Chilean landscapes and the select use of vocables. © 1996 (January) Kluwer Academic Publishers."--Scopus
