 Guardian Unlimited | Obituaries | Obituary: Arturo Uslar Pietri
The death of Arturo Uslar Pietri, at the age of 94, has deprived the Spanish-speaking world of one of its leading intellectuals, and his native Venezuela of a man who had come to be regarded as the nation's conscience.
But he was soon called on to play a series of important roles in the post-Gómez governments of generals Eleázar López Contreras and Isaías Medina Angarita, and, over the next few years, occupied successively the posts of minister of education, secretary of the presidency, finance minister and interior minister.
It was while holding the education portfolio that Uslar wrote the article whose title was to become his most famous quote.

 Definition of Magic Realism   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
It was Uslar Pietri who applied to Latin American writing a term taken from German art criticism, magical realism.
By the 1960's this phrase was being taken up not only by critics but by ordinary readers for whom it summarized a quality they had been noticing in recent fiction.
Yet in Uslar Pietri's vague, ample usage magical realism was wildly successful in summarizing for many readers their perception of much Spanish American fiction; this fact suggests that the term has its uses, so long as it is not expected to function with the precision expected of technical, scholarly terminology.

 Justus Ludewig von Uslar, and the First Book on Allelopathy
This book concerns a virtually unknown treatise by Justus Ludewig von Uslar, published in 1844, which emerges as the first book entirely devoted to the concept of allelopathy.
It also provides for the first time a biography of Justus Ludewig von Uslar, who is best known as the first Consul-General for Hannover in Mexico, and Director of the Mexican Company, a British venture mining company.
In many ways von Uslar epitomises the tradition of the gentleman scientist of the 19th century.
