The innovative multimedia approach of Caleidoscopio enables students to hear the actual voices—and accents—of the authors and to gain an awareness of the cultural milieu in which the texts were created.
Features of the book and DVD include:
- Contemporary reading selections from well and less well known writers in the Hispanic world;
- A unit dedicated to oral story telling by a charismatic Colombian storyteller;
- Interviews with the authors filmed in digital format and available on DVD;
- Two sets of questions, one for comprehension and vocabulary development and the other to aid critical thinking about thematic, stylistic, and contextual issues;
- Web site addresses for further cultural and literary research.
Elvira Sanchez-Blake is senior lecturer in Spanish literature, Department of Romance Studies, Cornell University.

"The organization of this book is compelling and provides an engaging way for students to become enthusiastic about wielding literary language."—Jonathan Tittler, Rutgers University
"The main motivation for students to learn Spanish is to understand the culture and to be able to communicate with Spanish native speakers. Reading and discussing literary works is one of the best ways to achieve these objectives. This book—one of the first literary readers accompanied by a DVD—will be a hit."—J. Eduardo Jaramillo-Zuluaga, Denison University
