«Don Quijote, el loco, está loco no sólo porque ha creído lo que ha leído. También está loco porque cree, como caballero andante, que la justicia es su deber y que la justicia es posible.»

Desde Zona sagrada hasta Terra Nostra, la narrativa de Carlos Fuentes oscilaba entre la sobriedad en el relato y la obra como una broma que asaltaba la realidad para trastocarla. En su discurso de ingreso en El Colegio Nacional hizo ver la similitud de obras totalizantes, como Don Quijote de la Mancha de Miguel de Cervantes y Finnegans Wake de James Joyce. Discurso que se extiende, retrocede y avanza en estos ensayos que incitan a revisar y releer éstas y otras obras que rompen la realidad e inventan una nueva, alterna y paralela, pero llena de rebelión, que resaltan sus características y nos hacen ver el mundo con otros ojos; por ejemplo, el Quijote desde antes de ser escrito, revisado en su época y a lo largo de su existencia, en su España árabe y judía y ya contaminada del Nuevo Mundo, con sus personajes reales y ficticios que salen de otros libros y asaltan otras literaturas. Una incitación a la lectura rebelde, y a rebelarse, con una fantasía que es mejor y más vital que cualquier realidad posible.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Don Quixote, the madman, is mad not only because he believes what he reads. He is also mad because, as a knight errant, he believes that justice is his duty, and that justice is possible."

From Zona Sagrada to Terra Nostra, Carlos Fuentes's works range from sober narration to playful and disruptive assaults on reality. In his speech upon acceptance into Mexico's National Academy, he pointed to the similarities between all-encompassing works such as Miguel de Cervantes's Don Quijote de la Mancha and James Joyce's Finnegans Wake. Here, Fuentes expands, retreats, and delves further into these themes, encouraging us to re-read these and other works that break with reality and create new, alternate and parallel universes. These creations are a form of rebellion that urge us to see the world through other eyes, he argues. Don Quixote is one such work; revised in its time and over the centuries, it is set in an Arab and Jewish Spain already tainted by the New World, with real and fictitious characters that emerge from other books and wage war on other literatures. Fuentes invites to join him in his rebellious reading of these texts, which offer fantasies that are better and more vital than any possible reality.

Using this to power up some old Fisher speakers I restored.
Style: R-S202BL, Configuration: w/o Wire and Plug
This amp has the ability to provide and easy 100 watts per channel. Looks nice, no frills but nice chills when it pumps up the volume! This volume is a little bit to get use to but this is my only con is you have to keep turning and turning to get the sound where you want it. I like the old style when you turned it a tad to get volume. The sound is robust. Bluetooth is a nice touch when streaming your music wirelessly for long hours of play back with Pandora, YouTube etc. Radio is strong and AM is good. The display is easy read and you can lower the brightness too. I use an old Zen M 60GB to provide the tunes to this beast. I bought this with the Amazon Renewed listing and am very much impressed for this unit looked completely new and untouched. I am using this to power some vintage Fisher speakers from the late 60's which this does perfectly. The new 15 inch woofers installed really make a difference but the rest of the cabinets (excluding new cloth on the grills, poly fil, seals etc.) sound amazing after all these years. My dad had these in his garage which he passed away on July, 26, 2019 so this was for him in his memory. A big thanks to Amazon and Yamaha for the power to run them again.

The way music should be played
Style: R-S202BL, Configuration: w/o Wire and Plug
First, I am an audiophile and have a $25K audio/video setup in our theater room. I bought this receiver for our bedroom when the old AVR we were using finally died. The Yamaha R-S202BL is a great 100w, no frills, stereo receiver. Beautiful, pure stereo music reproduction with no surround decoders/sound field programs to ruin audio reproduction. Old school Treble, Bass, and Balance controls on the remote (love it!). Bluetooth connected to our phones in seconds and works flawlessly. Used an inexpensice DAC ($20) to connect TV's digital optical output to Line 1 inputs in the R-N202. It works perfectly and TV sound is great. Also use the receivers speaker B outputs to connect to a small 10" subwoofer. That also works just fine. I can't say enough good things about this little receiver. Highly recommended!

Solid unit, not showy 9thank you)
Style: R-S202BL, Configuration: w/o Wire and Plug
FAST!! shipping, complete, well packaged, excellent price for Yamaha durability. Easy hook-up, normal sized manual (thanks again!). Smile, intuitive controls. Base and treble by front-panel pots. I would have paid extra for a lighted remote.

This item was sold at a NEW price and it was CLEARLY USED.
Style: R-S202BL, Configuration: w/o Wire and Plug
Unfortunately I really didn’t get to operate this item due to the fact that it didn’t work. After I connected my speakers and plugged it in, I turned on the power switch and the lights came on, but no sound. No discredit to Yamaha, nor the item... this is on the seller. It was sold at a new price and it was clearly a used item. Upon opening the box, I noticed : 1. The power cord was wrapped with a dirty, pink hair band. 2. The unit was not in plastic like a new item. 3. The FM antenna was missing. 4. The remote had old, used batteries in it. This should not have been re-sold.
