The Representation of Reality in Western Literature
By ERICH AUERBACH, translated by WILLARD R. TRASK
"This is criticism in the finest modem European tradition, in the
linguistic tradition of men such as Vossler, Spitzer, Croce, Castro,
for whom Europe is a constant interrogation whose literature is
ever to be questioned anew, insistently. Erich Auerbach has written in
that tradition....
It
is a staggering act of
love."-The Commonweal.

The Structure of Spanish History
By AMERICO CASTRO, translated by EDMUND L. KING
An
existentialist view of Spain. This is a revised and enlarged
edition of the author's
Espana en su historia,
one of the classics of
our time, which the
American Historical Review
called "an epoch–
making book, bold and imaginative, on a splendid scholarly founda–
tion, frequently controversial, immensely stimulating." Dr. Castro's
search for the essence of Hispanity is an exciting cultural experience
which gives a central place to the part played by literature.
