Literature & Literary StudiesProfesor Sísifo
by Álex Saldías
Un profesor recién egresado inicia un patético y revelador camino al enfrentarse por primera vez a alumnos desinteresados y a un sistema sin interés por educarlos. Sus ilusiones como docente, la responsabilidad con los estudiantes, su creatividad artística, las posibilidades económicas o sociales son las piedras que empuja durante el año escolar. La fatalidad no está en el peso de esas rocas, sino en la montaña que hace imposible ascender. La inutilidad del esfuerzo humano dentro de un sistema educacional injusto trata de cobrar algún sentido en el caos de esta novela de prosa recursiva y ágil, pero atomizada en guías de aprendizaje, currículums de vida y autoevaluaciones pedagógicas que no tienen una verdadera razón de ser.

October 1997Cara o Sello
by Mario Salazar Montero
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. Schriftsteller und Ingenieur. Hat mehrere Romane und Kurzgeschichten veröffentlicht. Spanisch und Deutsch. Mehr zum Autor und seinem literarischen Werk unter www.mariosalazar.ch

July 2015Quiero ser artista
by Pablo Ottonello
Nothing is known beforehand of these blind, halftruths distributed in “Kovacic,” nor of the apparent lack of turbulence that imprints “Founding a sex” with a kind of backdrop scenery, or of the speck of flour or talcum powder that confines “Buy cream” to a whiteness that plays on two points, from the hinting glimpse to the concluding sentence with experimentation and innocence. Quiero ser artista changes from a yearning and methodical aspiration into a tautological confession: Literature is the best possible means for such things to happen.

History of Western philosophyKant and His Heirs
An Introduction to the History of Western Philosophy
by Miguel García-Baró
Each generation has the obligation to tell the history of philosophy. It is not only a moral responsibility toward the past, but also a commitment to the future. By stressing some authors and some ideas over others, in the end we are pointing to the certitudes that uphold and justify the way we see reality and act upon it. After the first volume, centered on ancient and medieval philosophy, and the second one, consecrated to the Modern Era, this original history of thought concludes with the volume dealing with the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Kant and his philosophy mark the beginning of a new stage that extends to our own time. Different trends have appeared during this stage: idealism, pragmatism, existentialism, phenomenology, analytical philosophy or hermeneutics… and they have shaped today’s reflection.

PhilosophyAnthropology of Christian Vocation
From Person to Person
by Juan Manuel Cabiedas
The question regarding how to guide one’s own life is among the most pressing and serious questions. Both in its sacred understanding, as referring to a trascendent call, and in its lay conception, that connects the feeling of happiness to one’s self-fulfillment, the word vocation expresses the right way that a person follows to succesfully lead his or her own life. This may be the reason why, when talking about vocation, the word echoes all the elements that make up the identity of the human being: corporeity and spirituality, intelligence and sensitivity, conscience and freedom, personal biography and collective history. Without vocation, the personal being is doomed to treat oneself and to be treated with indifference.

FictionWhat Would the Pope Say?
by Jaime Larrain
Pope Francis is at a crossroads. The Catholic Church, still reeling from the cases of child abuse and the corruption scandals of the Vatican Bank, has an opportunity for redemption or for a final nail in the coffin, after the Pope’s closes advisor, Cardinal Bullbridge, is kidnapped. While the Pope ponders the destiny of the Church, Aum, the leader of the Chrysallis Team that in 2016 kidnapped business moghul Brian Feller, has set for himself the tremendous challenge of gathering the most important religious leaders of the world so they can witness The Experiment, a mysterious process that could breathe new life into the Catholic Faith. The Experiment was born in the island of Ithaca in 2010, thanks to the work of Aum and Father Thomas, the guardian of the Vatican´s secret files. The motivations of Aum and Thomas are not merely academic, there’s a much larger political agenda at play. Being 86 years of age, and with a very sick son, Aum rolls the dice and brings together the Dalai Lama, Pope Francis, historian Yuval Harari, philosopher Michael Onfray, and many others. But Cardinal Bullbridge wants to put an end to his, which he sees as a threat to the Papacy. And Commissioner Scorza, Vatican Chief of Security, is trying to solve the riddle while also dealing with some scandals of his own making. What Would the Pope Say? Is not just a history of the Vatican, it is the history of an ancient dream that can now become reality, a dream we all carry inside: a spirituality that goes beyond religions, and that is one and universal.
