Description:Bilingual English-Spanish anthology of short stories by Spanish and Latin-American writers. Violeta Parra was a Chilean singer and songwriter, poet, painter, embroiderer as well as a sculptor and ceramicist. Her life and work inspired millions worldwide, and she is often called the 'mother' of the New Song Movement, the 1960s revival of Latin American folklore and music. With lyrics often offering political criticism, this movement stood for the profound political and social struggles of the period. 2017 marked the centenary of Violeta Parra's birth. She was the first Latin American artist to be exhibited in the Louvre; while in Paris, she wrote the poem (later a song) called "Violeta Ausente", expressing her longing for Chile and its folk traditions and her yearning to return. It is in this poem-song that she says: 'Now I walk on foreign lands' - the inspiration for the title of this book. Victorina Press contributed to the centenary commemorations by organising its second Literary Competition amongst Hispano-American writers of short stories. This volume contains the bilingual compilation of nine of the best stories from the contest.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~La Chilena Violeta Parra era cantante, compositora, poeta, pintora, arpillerista, escultora y ceramista.
