"The essays collected in this exceptional and well-integrated volume give a profound analysis of the connection between the sciences and the arts in the Spanish-speaking world. This relationship is reflected also in the original balance of liveliness, imagination and scientific rigor achieved by an eclectic spectrum of authors brought together in a pioneering work likely to establish itself as an important reference point on a broad and relatively unexplored issue" -- Professor Horacio C. Reggini, Miembro de la Academic de Ciencias y de la Academia de Letras, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
"This book serves not to unite disparate fields of scientific or literary discourse or to delineate boundaries among them, but to explore and understand Hispanic texts according to their own multifarious vocabularies. Ranging from realism to science fiction, from positivism to postmodernism and the post-human, these fascinating essays represent significant contributions to their respective fields while also participating in the broader conversation about the relations between science and literature in the Hispanic world. The book deserves high praise and helps fill an important niche in Hispanic literary studies" -- Dale Pratt, Brigham Young University ; Author of Signs of Science: Literature, Science and Spanish Modernity since 1868.
