The most recent Spanish-
language winner of the
Nobel Prize for Literature
was Octavio Paz in 1990.
The native Mexican took the
prize for his "impassioned
writing with wide horizons,
characterized by sensuous
intelligence and humanistic
integrity."
Born in Peru, raised in Chile,
Bolivia, Europe and the Middle
East, and having lived in exile in
Venezuela for 13 years, author
Isabel Allende has lived and
worked in the United States
since 1987.
The Golden Age of literature
in Spain produced one of
the greatest masterpieces of
world literature: Don Quijote
de la Mancha.
Pablo Picasso's sketch of Don Quixote (1955)
is one of the most famous representations of the man from La
Mancha.
Experts claim that the best way
to give a child a strong bilingual
foundation is for at least one
parent to speak only in Spanish
to the child from birth.
Spanish was the first European
language spoken in the U.S.,
when explorers arrived in the late
15th century. The names of most
of the Southern and Western
states are still in Spanish.
