The enormous body of short story anthologies from the nineteen countries of Spanish America and Brazil testifies to their importance for writers, editors, readers, and, especially, for schools and universities, teachers and students. The study of anthologies and their contents can be particularly revealing for many of the questions looming large in critical discourse, particularly those on canon formation and the relations between literature and cultural institutions; but researching this corpus is difficult because it varies greatly in quality, distribution, and format. The present volume for the first time gathers this mass of material and organizes it for systematic study. The main section comprises annotated listings of 1302 short story anthologies: those with stories from all or most of the countries grouped together, including a section of English-language anthologies; those from countries of a region; and those from individual nations. For most entries a full listing of contents is provided along with brief commentary. A second section comprises annotated bibliographies of criticism of the short story, similarly arranged with materials for Latin America as a whole as well...
There are titles that go down in history for reasons that have more to do with the legend around their publication than with their content.

It should be remembered that Ulysses is not so much a novel as a colossal experiment that requires patience to understand the rules of the game that James Joyce himself proposes. This unpublished version by Carlos Manzano, careful and conceived based on what has always been considered canonical in its language of origin, that of Gabler from 1986, invites the reader to delve into the particular Joycean universe through more than a thousand pages of experimental walk through the streets of Dublin for a single day.
