FictionMarch 2019Síndrome Praga (Prague Syndrome)
by Juan Pablo Bertazza
An Argentine travels to Prague, as a way of putting some distance from his old way of life. Leaving behind his past, he arrives to this city to work as a tour guide. He believes that his new life in this old world of alchemical and transforming tradition will be surely better than the one he left behind. Enthusiastic with his brand new beginning in Prague, the protagonist of Síndrome Praga (Prague Syndrome) starts to dedicate himself to explaining a city that, however, he does not know. Soon enough, he discovers what he couldn’t have guessed: that locals there don't want visitors; that his work was not what he thought; and that language dislocations are even more disorienting than he could have imagined, especially in relation to sentimental communication with the immediately unforgettable and fatal Katka. But none of this represents the truly particularity that this city is about to show him. Suddenly, there’s something else: four numbers begin to appear on the foreheads of some people randomly walking through the streets. And then, the revelation: those numbers show, with exactitude, the inevitable date of those people’s deaths. What to do then? Hard to say. First of all -he decides-, keeping a journal: turning to writing as a way of understanding the world around him as well as himself and his own place in this new city and reality.

June 2017Don Giovanni, de W. A. Mozart
Mito sensual y aura sacra
by Menéndez Torrellas, Gabriel & Gutiérrez Carreras, pablo
A pesar de ser una de las óperas más representadas del género operístico, la valoración histórica de Don Giovanni plantea aún múltiples interrogantes, como la dialéctica entre lo jocoso y lo trágico o la ambivalencia entre sensualidad erótica y aura sacra que rodean su música. El propio personaje protagonista ha sido objeto de las más diversas caracterizaciones a lo largo de los años. En este libro, se debate sobre las diferentes versiones de Praga y Viena, las distintas facetas del personaje principal de la ópera, la búsqueda de lo absoluto en el lenguaje musical o el dilema trágico-cómico de la partitura. Para ello contamos con los exponentes actuales más reconocidos: musicólogos que han trabajado las fuentes o la edición de obras de Mozart, han desenterrado documentación desconocida o se han inmerso en el estudio de su interpretación.

FictionAugust 2021Alto en el cielo (High in the Sky)
by Juan Pablo Bertazza
Katka Fůrstová arrives in the Argentine capital in order to locate a great emblem of Prague culture that was trafficked, in the midst of the Nazi rise, by a group of initiates into Jewish mysticism. The mission, which takes her to one of the most central and secret corners of the city, mutates almost as much as her spirits as she absorbs the strange codes of Buenos Aires life. Revealing, poetic and fun, this lucid prequel to Síndrome Praga (Prague Syndrome) brings together the Barolo and the Palacio de Aguas Corrientes with neighborhood grills, gothic novels by Gustav Meyrink and the euphoria of popular music. With its unusual foreignness, Alto en el cielo (High in the Sky) achieves one of the goals of every novel: the power to resignify, both the plot of its previous novel, as well as the cultural ties with Central Europe, the condition of Buenos Aires as an inexhaustible literary metropolis made of irony and talent, always busy digesting so many years of cyclical repetitions such as those that, according to legend, mark the return of the Golem.

Lifestyle, Sport & LeisureApril 2021Sueños de la Euro
El torneo que reconcilió a un continente
by Miguel L. Pereira
As Paul Auster once said, football is the miracle that allowed Europe to hate itself without destroying itself. The ball has done more than any other political project for brotherhood in a land too used to fighting with itself. After each conflict, it was necessary for the ball to be there to make the continent a space of union and not a perpetual trench. For this reason, every time the European Championship is held, there is a part of the world that looks into each other's eyes and shakes hands. For this reason, when we write about the 60 years of history of this emblematic tournament, we are really drawing our memories, our fears and our desires as Europeans. Because the dreams of Delaunay, Panenka, Charisteas, Aragonés or Éder are also our dreams.

FictionNovember 2015El plan Bérkowitz
by Mario J. Les
The autumn of 2001 has barely begun. An elderly prisoner wakes up in his cell like every morning since an eternity. Tired of the endless confinement, he awaits for his own death as the only way out from the nightmare that haunts him. During the summer of that same year, three young men, partners in a modest audiovisual company, are hired by an eccentric millionaire to make some nature documentaries in Kenya. Excited, they face the opportunity of their lives: a dream job and the possibility of refloating his battered economy. However, they will soon discover that not all that glitters around their patron is gold. In the troubled Germany of 1938, Eyal Bérkowitz was one among hundred Jewish prisoners who were transferred from the Dachau concentration camp to the newly opened Flossenbürg. There they will work from sunrise to sunset in the neighboring quarry, extracting the granite necessary for the constructions that Albert Speer has designed for Hitler's imperialist Germany. The Jewish group, with Bérkowitz leading, will suffer in their flesh the abuse of power by the head of their barracks, Ludwig von Häussler, captain of the SS. With the background of World War II, the attack on Reinhard Heydrich and Operation Valkyrie, Eyal Bérkowitz will devise a risky plan that can save his own life ... and mortgage that of others. * * * Apenas comenzado el otoño de 2001, un anciano prisionero despierta en su celda como cada mañana desde hace una eternidad. Hastiado de ese interminable encierro, aguarda su propia muerte como única salida a la pesadilla que le atormenta. Durante el verano de ese mismo año, tres jóvenes, socios de una modesta empresa audiovisual, son contratados por un excéntrico millonario para realizar unos documentales de naturaleza en Kenia. Entusiasmados, se ven ante la oportunidad de sus vidas; un trabajo soñado y la posibilidad de reflotar su maltrecha economía. Sin embargo, pronto descubrirán que no es oro todo lo que reluce en torno a su mecenas. En la convulsa Alemania de 1938, Eyal Bérkowitz forma parte del centenar de presos judíos que son trasladados del campo de concentración de Dachau al recién inaugurado Flossenbürg. Allí trabajarán de sol a sol en la cantera vecina extrayendo el granito necesario para las construcciones que Albert Speer ha proyectado para la Alemania imperialista de Hitler. El grupo judío, con Bérkowitz a la cabeza, sufrirá en sus carnes el abuso de poder por parte del jefe de su barracón, Ludwig von Häussler, capitán de las SS. Con el trasfondo de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, el atentado contra Reinhard Heydrich y la Operación Valkiria, Eyal Bérkowitz ideará un arriesgado plan que puede salvar su propia vida… e hipotecar la de otros.
