\"\"<\/a>La novela “An isle of Eden, a Story of Porto Rico<\/em><\/strong>“, de la misionera bautista Janie Duggan, es de lo m\u00e1s hermoso que he le\u00eddo en materia de literatura relacionada con Puerto Rico escrita por estadounidenses. Se public\u00f3 en 1912, y contiene escenas minuciosamente descritas de la vida dom\u00e9stica, descripciones de calles y campos, del traj\u00edn del comercio itinerante, de los salones aristocr\u00e1ticos y los barrios pobres de la ciudad de Ponce, adem\u00e1s de situaciones de intensidad y fuerza l\u00edrica. Abundan los personajes femeninos fuertes. Comparto un p\u00e1rrafo sobre una lavandera convertida al cristianismo que visita a la protagonista. La mujer se queja de que el agua del charco donde lavaba se ha desviado para irrigar los ca\u00f1averales. No falta un comentario sobre la paciencia de los pobres:<\/p>\n

“Do you know where we have to go for our washing now, Sarita?\u201d Sarah merely shook her head, not to arrest the tide of Concha’s picturesque phrasing, her senses all alive, however, at the mention of Do\u00f1a Monserrate’s name.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cSince they are drawing off all the water the drought has left in the river for irrigating the cane lands there is not a trickle left for our washing-stones. So we must go to Portugu\u00e9s, two miles from here, for water enough for our clothes.\u201d There was no complaint in Concha’s voice, for the poor and powerless learn to accept difficulties as a part of their daily fare and, in their normal state, are the most patient burden-bearers of the world. And, of course, in this instance no one could question the fact that the cane needed the scanty river more than washerwomen. For cane means labor, and labor means men’s wages, and wages mean even more than the sugar the cane will yield, and soap for washing clothes<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

El libro contiene ilustraciones fotogr\u00e1ficas, entre ellas la del ca\u00f1averal.<\/p>\n
