        Kurt Tank II. La verdadera historia del constructor del Pulqui II. Tomo II

        by Mauricio Bossa

        La Segunda Guerra Mundial ha terminado y Kurt Tank se encuentra a merced de los británicos. Solo podrá continuar en la industria aeronáutica si trabaja para ellos. Además, está bajo sospecha y sus movimientos han sido restringidos. El futuro parece ominoso. Pero sus aviones lo han convertido en una celebridad y son muchos los poderosos que necesitan de sus servicios. Algunos muestran sus cartas y lo obligan a tomar decisiones peligrosas en las narices de los Aliados. Si acierta, volverá al vuelo y al diseño de aeronaves de avanzada; de lo contrario, las consecuencias podrían ser irreparables.Este segundo tomo de Kurt Tank, la verdadera historia del constructor del Pulqui II se sumerge de lleno en el torbellino de acontecimientos que rodean al protagonista desde 1945 y que lo llevarán tan lejos como a la Argentina o la India, luego de que Joseph Stalin intentara reclutarlo para servir en la Unión Soviética. Espionaje, tecnología y aventuras se entrelazan en un vívido relato que recurre a fuentes hasta hoy desconocidas y que develan una personalidad tan fascinante como polémica, convertida en referencia de la aviación mundial por derecho propio.

        Urbanism, architecture, sacred art

        by Percival Tirapeli (author)

The section “Sacred Art – Furniture and Ornamentation” completes the analysis of churches, examining their retable façades, the furniture of the altars and their ornamental complements, such as sculptures and paintings.

        En tus manos

        Acompañar en la enfermedad y preparar una buena muerte

        by Jose Mª Avendaño

        Lo grande, lo importante, se esconde en lo pequeño, en la simplicidad, en el abandono. Así lo repite el autor, de una u otra manera, en su canto, porque este libro es un canto.Estas páginas nos hacen descubrir, en la memoria filial y creyente, la belleza de la creación y de la salvación encarnada en un pueblo de La Mancha, en la vida de un hombre sencillo, bueno, un campesino honrado y creyente sincero, en el escenario de una familia rural y piadosa.Unas memorias cristianas llenas de agradecimiento, de profundidad, de sentido. La historia que cuenta este libro no es fantasía, no es ficción, sino una historia real, la historia de Cándido.Nos encontramos con temas fundamentales de nuestra existencia: la vida, la familia, el sufrimiento, la muerte, el duelo, la orfandad, el acompañamiento de los que sufren, etc.El mejor camino para la aceptación del sufrimiento y de la muerte, para superar el duelo, es asumirlo, hacerlo parte de nuestra vida, comulgar con él con la certeza de que hemos vencido en el Aquel que murió y resucitó por nosotros.

        SOUTH AMERICAN CITIES AS CULTURAL ARENAS

        by Fernanda Arêas Peixoto and Adrián Gorelik (editors)

        Organized by Fernanda Arêas Peixoto, professor at the Department of Anthropology of the University of São Paulo, and Adrián Gorelik, professor at the University of Quilmes, this book is the result of a collective research project about the cultural urban history in South America, which was developed by a group of South American researchers. Using as a compass the notion of “cultural arena”, this work performs a reflection on the city as a place of cultural germination, experimentation and resistance. Some cities – Buenos Aires, Santiago, Lima, Recife, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Salvador, Montevideo, among others – are studied in order to capture the intimate and inextricable relations between city and culture.

        El don de saber estar

        by María Encarnación González

        Isabel del Castillo Arista (1890-1932) y su prima Antonia López Arista son las dos únicas personas que, en el Libro Registro de Asociadas de la Institución Teresiana, consta que “desde su fundación” acompañaron a san Pedro Poveda en el proceso constitutivo de esta Obra. A la muerte de Antonia (1918), Isabel fue miembro del Directorio de la Institución; desde 1922, Vicedirectora general y, a partir de 1928, también Administradora general, actividad que venía ejerciendo desde hacía algunos años, además de estar siempre dispuesta a salir al paso de cualquier necesidad.Isabel sabía estar. Le tocó ejercer serias responsabilidades; establecer múltiples relaciones en la Institución Teresiana, la Iglesia y la sociedad civil. Pero supo estar sin hacer sombra a nadie y sin atribuirse logros ni escatimar esfuerzos. Tuvo que armonizar a muchas personas, requerir lo mejor a cada una, gestionar las sedes de las actividades y, en suma, construir desde dentro la Institución Teresiana. Esta fue la aportación a la historia de la figura serena, simpática, entrañable y cordial de Isabel del Castillo.

        The Calling

        Stories of Jesuits in the 16th and 17th Centuries

        by Adriano Prosperi

        This book explains not who the Jesuits were, but how their awareness of having become Jesuits was constructed. It does so on the basis of a collection of documents which have often been referred to as ‘autobiographies’, in fact individual members’ accounts of how they received their calling. Each Jesuit had to describe in writing how the divine call had come to him, what signs had preceded it and how he had broken away from his ‘fleshly’ family to become a member of the Company. Their acute awareness of the definitive nature of the close pact they had established with God by becoming members of the army of the Lord, made the Jesuits new, unusual figures, unprecedented in the history of Christian religious orders: men trained to carry out arduous missions into the most distant countries of the world, in contact with unknown cultures, without any weakening of their ties with the Company; a classic case is Matteo Ricci. Accepting their calling meant adopting a special life, characterized by a modern form of asceticism: a total break with the past and their families, a readiness to go wherever they were sent, as new apostles.

        Society and culture in Dalcidio Jurandir

        by Willi Bolle

        This book presents an overview of Amazonian history and analyzes the novel Cycle of the Far North, by Dalcidio Jurandir, a work that represents the social inequality and exclusion inherent to Amazonian society. Willi Bolle rescues the work of this important, albeit unknown, author, emphasizing Dalcidio Jurandir’s contribution to our understanding of Amazonian culture. In his work, Jurandir describes the quotidian of those living in the periphery of society, and advocates, quite emphatically, quality education for the poor. He also registers the social dialect of the inhabitants of the Amazon, in a document of the cultural memory of the region.

        by Ilaria Gaspari

        Gaia is beautiful, self-centred and unhappy. One day in November she returns to the city where she studied, after an absence of ten years. Nothing seems to have changed in Pisa, but everything has. Gaia meets up again with her old friends and the love of her university days, but now they are divided by the years they spent apart and the loss of a fellow student, Virginia, who died in obscure circumstances. The investigation into the mysterious suicide winds its way through the streets of the city and the colleges of the Scuola Normale, amidst buried memories and obsessions that come to light.

        Dime dónde, en que país

        by Marco Antonio Campos, Círculo de Poesía, Círculo de Poesía, Círculo de Poesía, Círculo de Poesía

        Agrega Marco Antonio Campos a su ya extensa, personalisima y sorprendente obra de poeta, de crítico, de traductor, de cronista, de historiador y estudioso de la literatura mexicana y de otras, este libro ejemplar que él titula Dime Dónde, en qué país (una línea que toma de Villon) y que ha compuesto, como dice, con poemas en prosa y una fábula. El libro es bello y complejo, en su aparente sencillez, pero intrincado contexto de referencias, alusiones literarias, históricas y artísticas y es en efecto, tanto verdadera poesía, como la que ha logrado consumar en su lírica de autor, pero es al mismo tiempo una colección deslumbradora de visiones, de crónicas de viaje por el mundo entero, de paisajes urbanos, amores consumados y no, mares, ríos, montañas, galerías pictóricas, encuentros con autores legendarios o nacidos ayer, barrios paupérrimos, aventuras en tren y al mismo timpo, profundas y conmovedoras inscursiones de la propia biografía, en el alma y en la memoria familiar. De algún modo, este conjunto de Marco Antonio, me hace pensar en el libro admirable y perfecto de otro ilustre visionario, viajero, cronista y autobiógrafo emponente: el grande y prolijo catalán Josep Pla, autor de los diarios voluntariamente imperfectos e invaluables de su Cuaderna gris, que no ha sido posible terminar de imprimir.
