Marianne de la nieve – Una novela psicológica por Hadassa Ashdot Hadassa Ashdot, una psicóloga del ejército escribió esta novela conmovedora acerca del poder curativo del amor y el deseo, sobre el odio ciego y la muerte que destruyen todo lo bueno, el anhelo ilimitado por la libertad como oposición a las restricciones culturales y sociales y tabúes, y acerca de una gran pérdida que cede para dar paso a la luz y la esperanza. La historia trata sobre tres combatientes israelíes - Nadav, un médico y desilusionado miembro de un kibutz; y sus amigos: David, un recluta y uno de los israelíes “socialmente rechazados”, y Osoma, el comandante de la unidad, quien viene de una pequeña aldea drusa y es un miembro de la única minoría que sirve en el ejército de Israel. Los tres estás escondidos en un bosque de cipreses en el Líbano, y Osama, se encuentra críticamente herido. Esperan por un helicóptero del ejército que venga y los rescate.

Cuando el helicóptero llega, dos hombres yacen muertos, y Nadav, el protagonista, experimenta en vivo el trauma de perder amigos en la guerra. Choqueado por la muerte de sus amigos y la horrible experiencia de la guerra que ha girado su mundo al revés, Nadav deja a Marianne, la chica que ama, y se embarca en un viaje de auto purificación a los Himalayas. Pero ninguna salvación le aguarda en ese lugar. Después de que una avalancha de nieve lo deja enterrado, es rescatado magullado y maltrecho. Poco después se hunde en una oscura y profunda depresión, aguantando años de muerte viva en un abismo de desesperación. Al final, el amor, prueba ser la luz del final del túnel a través del cual Nadav hace su regreso a la vida. El amor, es la única fuerza capaz de curar una herida tan profunda que la guerra le dejó. Marianne, una voluntaria Finlandesa en el kibbutz, es la mujer que Nadav amó y abandonó, pero ella, no obstante, siempre lo acompañó durante las nieves de los Himalayas de las cuales escapa, en un intento de liberarse del dolor y la culpa por la muerte de sus amigos. Nadav redescubre a Marianne en el calmado cariño de la mediana edad, en las nieves de Finlandia, y ella es el bálsamo que finalmente le ayudan a apaciguar sus heridas de guerra.

“Natural Journey” aims to remove the old-fashioned tension between art and science in order to approach nature’s shapes and colors with astonishment and without being distracted from the main task: to learn from it and listen to its call in the midst of the climate crisis. Botanical illustration is the art that allows us to enter the world of plants through our senses. But it is also a scientific record that provides botanists and scholars with subtle and precise representations that no technological device can reproduce. A botanist, an illustrator and a journalist are touched by the journey led by other women who inspired them with their environmental sensitivity and awareness. When reading “Natural Journey”, you will be taken into a pleasant walk through six types of plants whose names take after their identifying characteristics. “Travelers”, some inspire and others move (without legs or wings), “dangerous”, even lethal, colors and characteristics that define them, “deceitful”, traps and camouflages to get what they want, “rebels”, those who dodge the rules, undisciplined, stubborn and defiant, and “hungry” from the Plant to the Animal Kingdom, nutrient-capture strategies, “flamboyant”, as emerged from delirium. The book also contains each plant’s data sheet and mapping.

“The sky was covered with grey clouds. The drizzle was lighter than normal, almost pious. The Japanese were advancing through the streets with short, fast steps. Satoru was ahead of them. He pedaled at a good pace. From his bicycle seat, the city revealed itself to his eyes as a sequence of frames. It was strange to be there, in his grandfather's city, and to ride through it as he had probably never done before: on two wheels. Even so, the possibility that the route he was taking would intersect with the routes that his grandfather had taken when he was a child, provoked an intimate emotion in him. Those landscapes were over eighty years old, including an atomic bomb, but it was the land where Ryu Nakata had learned to walk, to speak, to read”. The death of his grandfather, awakens in the young Yasuhiro Nakata the desire to know the family history, especially after finding a letter in which he discovers another side of the old man whose last words were: 'Hiroshima, Hiroshima', warning of the existence of a secret. As a result, Yasuhiro embarks on a journey that will take him from Valparaiso to Hiroshima, where his grandfather emigrated ten years before the atomic disaster. This is the beginning of Drawings of Hiroshima— a charming story that allows readers to follow the protagonist on a journey in which he not only reconnects with his Japanese origins, but also questions his present, his interpersonal relationships and his interest in writing, deepening the unconscious desire to understand the role that he plays in a story that is not his own but yet challenges him directly. With this new release, Marcelo Simonetti addresses issues such as migration and identity, connecting the historic Chilean port of Valparaiso with the memory of the tragedy occured in the Japanese city.

Ngügi wa Thiong’o (Kenya 1938) is one of today’s leading African writers and has been nominated for the Nobel Prize several times. The story originally aimed to reconnect African children with their language, knowledge and history, in a continent marked by colonialist rule that largely erased their culture. In this sense, its main theme of rescuing the traditional knowledge of dominated cultures, especially their connection with nature, makes this book contain a universal message that goes beyond time and frontiers. In these times of deep social changes this story acquires maximum relevance for the world of children and youth. Njamba Nene and the Flying Bus, originally written in gikuyu and translated into English in 1986, has been specially translated and illustrated for this edition of Planeta Sostenible.

In the unstable Spain of 1937, where hates fought cruelly against inequities, a beautiful valley in the foothills of the Peaks of Europe lose their peace and stability to their people’s disgrace. During that cold December with mountain peaks overflowing flawless snow, squadrons of German war airplanes, from the Condor Legion, fly nearly at heads level of the terrified locals. Those engines from hell make their way to bomb the North Area, defended by brave and seasoned miners from Asturias, whose defensive bastions are located on the brink between León and Asturias, under the form of two sound and sturdy bunkers. Yet a terrible day, one of those planes falls (or is knocked down) in the village and its pilot disappears mysteriously… That fact triggers gruesome days of tortures, assaults, and murders carried out by the Luftwaffe soldiers and the Spanish Political-Social Brigade agents sent from the capital. And by a satrap of a fateful memory… in the area. Nevertheless, such sorrow is compensated as through magic: love. The love between the North inhabitants and a beautiful “princess” from that land. It is not until 1964 when a diverse group of young people made up by one Spaniard, two German persons, and one American woman, resident in the precious German town of Freiburg im Breisgrau, decide to go back to the conflict area to puzzle out all pending mysteries. And they certainly do! United by something else than the affection they had to each other and their relationship with some of the tragedy actors, these two couples bring in the positive side to all previous inequity. They do so despite all risks their trip involve and mostly in the final part of the journey. The peace, friendship, and respect between different ethnic, religious, and ideological groups would be the result of so much sacrifice and effort by the members of the new “Legion”, now made up by the noble and peaceful youth of our time.
Kurzinformation ISBN 978-3-9525331-3-0 Titel “Cara o Sello”. Mario Salazar Montero. Cuentos Cualquiera que sea la forma permitida, obligada o seleccionada por hombres y mujeres como el recurso personal válido disponible para dejar atrás el estigma de una pobreza, heredada o impuesta, esta implica una interacción con una realidad en tiempo presente. En esa realidad suramericana, con sus circunstancias inherentes, existe sin embargo una gama bien diversa, tanto de víctimas como de abusadores. El afán de algunos por equilibrar un déficit de bienestar económico recurriendo al crimen no siempre encuentra la mansedumbre de los abusados. Existe la ley tácita del desquite, a falta de una justicia que merezca su nombre. Estos cuentos intentan desentrañar la esencia de algunos desquites y despojos, sin ánimo de definir estereotipos. De eso ya hay bastante, es difícil quitarselos de encima y no sirven más. Mario Salazar Montero. Geboren in Kolumbien, Südamerika. Lebt seit vielen Jahren in der Schweiz.

Mujeres a la conquista de espacios es el cuarto libro del Seminario sobre Literatura y Mujer (siglos XX y XXI) y está dedicado a la representación de los espacios físicos y simbólicos de las mujeres. Hasta el siglo XIX, los espacios en la literatura eran simplemente un lugar de paso, una realidad más o menos formal, pero con los cambios sociales y los nuevos enfoques de pensamiento de los siglos XX y XXI, el espacio pasará a ser entendido desde otro punto de vista: ocupar un espacio define nuestro estar en el mundo, conseguir una realidad espacial significa ocupar un lugar en el tiempo, con todo lo que comporta ejercer algún tipo de poder o sufrir alguna pérdida.
