QR code
"Nuevas cartas americanas" by Juan Valera is a collection of literary essays written in the late 19th century. This work delves into the relationship and shared cultural ties between Spain and the Spanish-speaking republics of America, reflecting on topics of literary and political significance. Through his writing, Valera connects various aspects of Spanish literature and critiques the perceptions held by some American writers regarding their colonial past. The opening of the text
begins with a dedication to a prominent figure in Ecuador, indicating the book's intended readership and the author's intent to foster goodwill. Valera approaches his subject matter with a blend of admiration and critical insight, expressing his gentle stance towards his "semi-compatriots" across the ocean while also addressing the excesses and inaccuracies found in American literature regarding their historical relationship with Spain. He aims to highlight the shared civilization, language, and cultural foundations, asserting that literature in Spanish transcends borders and should reinforce connections among Spanish-speaking populations, regardless of their geographical location.
