With the objective to teach how to write, Saber escribir is much more than a style or creative writing manual, a dictionary or grammatical guide it is an essential tool for those who need to write but do not know how to start. With this book, the Instituto Cervantes provides the necessary guidelines to capture on paper what we think or say and to apply editing and proofreading techniques to ensure an A+ presentation, be it on an exam, a letter or invitation, your curriculum, or work-related a project. Description in Spanish: "¿Sabe escribir un informe, una carta, el acta de una reunión o un proyecto? ¿Sabe cómo tomar apuntes, contestar a una pregunta de examen o preparar su currículum? ¿Sabe redactar una carta de reclamación, presentar una instancia, dirigirse a la Administración o componer una invitación? Saber escribir no es un manual de estilo o de corrección gramatical ni un diccionario de dudas; no es un manual de creación literaria, aunque enseñe técnicas y recursos de escritura que aparecen en los textos literarios. Es todo lo anterior, y más. Es otro concepto de manual. Es un instrumento imprescindible para los que dudan, para los que tienen pánico a la página o a la pantalla en blanco, para los que tienen necesidad de escribir, en definitiva.".

Regarding the significance of Gilberto Freyre's 1933 Casa-grande e senzala, Antonio Candido referred to it as nothing less than an "earthquake". From Dubois to Genovese, from Braudel to Barthes, not to mention decades of Brazilian and Lusophone cultural reflection, Freyre's impact has been felt around the globe.

Thomas Skidmore has recently called Freyre's oeuvre a "unique world" that will "take many decades to explore". This volume represents a contribution to that process by offering a set of new critical readings from a range of disciplinary perspectives. These essays show that Freyre is worth considering anew today precisely because of the way in which his legacy serves, often silently, as a foundational presence within so many of the debates that are increasing in both volume and intensity across a number of fields of inquiry.

The interesting project embedded in the realization that seemingly new trends appear throughout Freyre's work is not to simply show how he raised a number of issues precociously. Rather, the crucial task is to ask after the ways in which his work still inhabits our own. In other words, the question is not to ask in which ways we have improved upon Freyre's theses, or transcended his errors; the question is to ask how those "errors" force us to confront our own work in unexpected ways..
