En 1976 apareció La guaracha del Macho Camacho, que consagró a Luis Rafael Sánchez como una de las figuras clave en las letras latinoamericanas. Para entender un texto tan innovador el lector tiene que volver a los cuentos de «En cuerpo de camisa» (1966) y a otros relatos anteriores en los que se halla el germen de los malabarismos verbales que caracterizan la obra de madurez del autor, así como su preocupación por desentrañar los problemas sociales de su país desde la cultura popular urbana.

En cuentos ya clásicos como «Aleluya negra», «Que sabe a paraíso» o «Espuelas» el autor explora la discriminación racial o la identidad puertorriqueña, el vacío existencial y la frustración de la clase media, la sexualidad festiva o la crítica feroz al sistema burocrático a través de un lenguaje que desarrolla lo que el propio autor definió como una «poética de lo soez».

«Imposible entender a Roma sin Virgilio, a Italia sin Dante, a España sin Cervantes, a Argentina sin Borges. Igualmente es imposible entender al Puerto Rico contemporáneo sin Luis Rafael Sánchez. Las culturas constituidas siempre descansan sobre los hombros de sus grandes artistas». --Luce López-Baralt y Aníbal González

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

In 1976, La guaracha del Macho Camacho was published, establishing Luis Rafael Sánchez as a key figure in Latin American literature. To fully grasp such an innovative text, readers must return to the stories from "En cuerpo de camisa" (1966) and other earlier works, where the seeds of the verbal acrobatics that define the author's mature writing can be found, along with his concern for unraveling his country's social issues through urban popular culture.

In now-classic stories such as "Aleluya negra," "Que sabe a paraíso," and "Espuelas," the author explores racial discrimination and Puerto Rican identity, existential emptiness and middle-class frustration, festive sexuality, and fierce criticism of the bureaucratic system--through a language shaped by what the author himself called a "poetics of the profane."

"It's impossible to understand Rome without Virgil, Italy without Dante, Spain without Cervantes, Argentina without Borges. Likewise, it is impossible to understand contemporary Puerto Rico without Luis Rafael Sánchez. Established cultures always rest on the shoulders of their great artists." --Luce López-Baralt and Aníbal González

Nice little travel solution for jewelry
Size: Medium (6.8"W*4.4"D*2.2"H), Color: Pink
Cute travel box for my jewelry. The necklace hangers aren’t all that snug, causing my necklaces to fall and tangle some. But otherwise, works as expected.

Gorgeous Tiffany-Blue & Perfect for Travel
I absolutely adore this little jewelry case. I don’t have a huge jewelry collection, so the size is perfect for me. It keeps everything organized without being bulky. The zipper feels very sturdy and smooth — not flimsy at all. And for anyone who loves Tiffany’s blue… the color is almost an exact match. I can set it next to my Tiffany box and it’s nearly identical. It’s such a pretty, luxe-looking shade. Highly recommend.

Convenient
This is great to take with you if you’re going out of town. It’s easier to keep track of your jewelry. It doesn’t take up much room, but holds several rings earrings and three necklaces.
