        by Ramos Rafael

        Mujeres en torno al Surrealismo

        by Victoria Combalía

        What do these six women have in common, apart from having lived in an extraordinary world and era? They are better known as companions of the male protagonists of their time - Man Ray, Max Ernst, Samuel Beckett, André Breton, TS Eliot or Jean Cocteau, among others - than for their own works. However, they were much more than a name on a caption or a handsome face adorning parties and literary salons.

        El Reino del Terror

        UN CASO INSOLITO vivido durante el reinado de Alfredo Stroessner, dictador de Paraguay 1954 - 1989

        by Kim Ekemar

        En 1982 dos viajeros ingenuos llegaron a Paraguay para, como turistas, conocer al país. Por una pregunta trivial, la pareja fue detenida por la policía política bajo la sospecha oficial de ser terroristas. Fueron obligados de quedarse frente a una cámara de tortura, incomunicados, hasta lograr escaparse por un descuido de los oficiales. Siete años más tarde, el dictador Alfredo Stroessner fue derrocado mediante un golpe de estado. Sin embargo, la historia no terminaría sino hasta un cuarto de siglo después del fin de la dictadura. Fue cuando el autor logró establecer contacto con el Dr Martín Almada – el desenterrador de los Archivos del Terror.  Este libro – minuciosamente investigado, y con las experiencias personales del autor integradas – documenta la turbia vida de Alfredo Stroessner, el dictador más longevo de Sudamérica durante el siglo XX. También revela la habilidad política del astuto dictador; la corrupción que fomentaba; la protección que otorgaba a nazis fugitivos y terroristas; las torturas que presenciaba; el narcotráfico bajo su supervisión; sus aberraciones sexuales; los abusos de sus secuaces; y, su participación en el pacto del Cono Sur – la Operación Cóndor.

        Enseñemos paz, aprendamos paz: la pedagogía al servicio de la cohesión social

        by Juan David Enciso

        Peace is an idea, an abstract concept, which must be grounded in concrete realities. And building peace involves moving from an initial state, which may or may not be conflict, to a second moment in which people have learned to know, relate, meet, and live together.   This book tries to elaborate on the construction of peace from an educational process, in which individuals learn to recognize themselves as subjects of equal dignity and with the capacity to carry out projects oriented to the common good. Similarly, educational settings, the so-called learning environments, are not confined exclusively to the walls of the classroom or the boundaries of formal education institutions: peace education occurs in any environment in which two or more coincide. people with potential conflicts of interest or collective construction.

        28 cosas que debes saber sobre los ángeles

        by Díaz Latorre, José Ignacio

        In the spring of 2018 I was writing my second novel, "The Guardian of Omu", which by now and doing an exercise in temporal mysticism, I hope and wish that it has become a recognized "best seller". I was about a third of concluding the aforementioned novel, when one morning I dream, and I say exactly dream, with a rather vague scene in which the idea of ​​writing about the essence of angels materializes in my mind. It is at that moment when I regain consciousness and awake, but I decide to continue thinking about that dream, more than anything else because of the curiosity and exceptional nature of the event. I sing a sweet dream again, more than a dream, sleep it, I would say. In that diffuse period of space-time, I see clearly, as if it were a data transfer, a script of content that appears to my knowledge. A succession of clear and unequivocal ideas that I had never thought to ask myself before, and all of them, referring to the subject at hand here.At that moment I decide to get out of bed and sit in front of my computer. Approximately 60 minutes later I have written that dream or received script, or what do I know. After writing it all in a row, I decide to read it carefully and immediately afterwards I see that it really is the script of ideas that I must develop without wasting any more time. At that moment I decide to slice it and use it as an index.It is exactly the index of this book.

        El cine de Terrence Malick

        La esperanza de llegar a casa

        by Alzola Cerero, Pablo

        Las películas que el cineasta estadounidense Terrence Malick ha realizado hasta la fecha, desde Malas tierras (1973) a Vida oculta (2019), no son muchas, pero todas han dejado una huella singular en la historia del séptimo arte. ¿Cuál es esa singularidad que ha despertado en el público tanta admiración como rechazo? El cine de Malick expresa, mediante un lenguaje audiovisual muy característico, preocupaciones que atañen a todo ser humano tales como la búsqueda de la propia identidad, la distancia o cercanía con los otros y el hallazgo de un hogar. Tomando la última cuestión, el hogar, como punto de partida, este libro plantea un acercamiento a la filmografía del cineasta de enfoque amplio e interés humano, en el que destacan dos grandes referentes: la tradición bíblica y el pensamiento de Stanley Cavell, un filósofo tan cinematográfico como americano. Al final, se descubre que tanto los mundos y personajes creados por Malick como la vivencia en la que se sumerge el espectador confluyen en un mismo anhelo: la esperanza de llegar a casa.

        Las lentejas de la guerra

        by da Casa de Cantos, Fernando

        This book pays tribute to a whole generation of people condemned to live through one of the most  difficult and turbulent historical periods, not only in Spain but also in the rest of the world.  War Lentils tells human stories of run-of-the-mill individuals who, as everybody, dreamt of a better world, conceived from very different points of view. Alternative solutions were proposed, but none of them was definitely legitimate, ending invariably in a collective failure from which the coming generations should learn.   Este libro supone un homenaje a toda una generación que le tocó vivir unos años convulsos, difíciles, no solo en España sino en todo el planeta.Relata historias de gentes sencillas que ansiaban –como todos– un mundo mejor, visto desde prismas diferentes, con soluciones muy distintas que desembocaron en un fracaso colectivo del que las generaciones siguientes deberíamos aprender.  Los personajes de esta novela son secundarios; podrían haber sido estos como podrían haber sido otros, escogidos entre cientos o miles de testimonios familiares que aún perviven en la memoria más secreta y callada de nuestros mayores. La verdadera protagonista es la Historia: esa, con mayúsculas, que debe ayudarnos a ser mejores personas.

      • SECRETOS DEL CLANDESTINAJE (Secrets of the underground)

        Las vidas que alumbraron el levantamiento zapatista (The lives that illuminated the Zapatista uprising)

        by Federico Ramírez

        Faced with the repression of the popular student movement, which in October 1968 culminated in the Tlatelolco massacre, dozens of guerrilla groups emerged in Mexico. Conceived to confront an implacable enemy, these organizations had to develop and act clandestinely, behind the back of the law, without being able to fully achieve their objective of linking up with the people they were trying to lead towards revolution, since they only came to public light in quick and small propaganda actions or in violent confrontations with soldiers and police, who persecuted with equal ferocity both militants and frightened citizens suspected of sympathizing with the subversives.In society, concerns arose without a clear and reliable answer: Who are these people really? Why do young people who could have a decent future expose themselves to almost certain death? And what is their daily life like; what do they do when they are not robbing banks? Where do they get their weapons? How can they abandon their parents, their partners, their children? What drives the increasingly rare survivors to continue fighting decade after decade without renouncing their ideas? The novel Secretos del clandestinaje offers a comprehensive and authoritative answer to these questions; it is an authentic narrative based on shocking real events that the author witnessed and knew directly from more than twenty years of militancy as a member of the Directorate of the National Liberation Forces and the Command of the Zapatista Army.When opening the book, hundreds of gray men and women who talk, dress, walk, work and travel, without distinguishing themselves from those around them? because their purpose is precisely to go unnoticed while they follow a policeman, acquire military manuals, receive donations of medicines, work in an oil company, rent apartments with assumed names, fill out forms in an embassy, teach or take classes, chat in parks and ice cream parlors, drive a cab, sell ground coffee in markets and restaurants... to fulfill the modest mission that day corresponds to them in the great project: to silently build the revolutionary organization to overthrow the regime.Through the lens of literary art, the reader will see everything from student rallies to jungle camps, passing through safe houses, recruitment of combatants, political debates, armed confrontations, persecutions, ambushes... acts, thoughts, emotions of men and women who, in the search for a world of justice and freedom, gave their lives and, if the time came, also their death.     Ante la represión al movimiento estudiantil popular, que en octubre de 1968 culminó con la masacre de Tlatelolco, surgieron en México docenas de grupos guerrilleros. Concebidas para enfrentar a un enemigo implacable, estas organizaciones tuvieron que gestarse y actuar en el clandestinaje, a espaldas de la ley, sin poder lograr a plenitud su objetivo de vincularse con el pueblo al que pretendían conducir hacia la revolución, pues sólo salían a la luz pública en rápidas y pequeñas acciones de propaganda o en violentos enfrentamientos con soldados y policías, quienes perseguían con igual saña tanto a los militantes como a los atemorizados ciudadanos sospechosos de simpatizar con los subversivos.En la sociedad surgían entonces inquietudes sin una contestación clara y confiable: ¿Quiénes son en realidad esas personas? ¿Por qué se exponen a una muerte casi segura jóvenes que podrían tener un futuro decoroso? ¿Y cómo es su diario vivir; qué hacen cuando no andan asaltando bancos? ¿De dónde sacan sus armas? ¿Cómo pueden abandonar a sus padres, su pareja, sus hijos? ¿Qué impulsa a los cada vez más escasos sobrevivientes a seguir luchando década tras década sin renunciar a sus ideas? La novela Secretos del clandestinaje ofrece una respuesta amplia y autorizada a esas preguntas; es una narración auténtica basada en impactantes hechos reales protagonizados y conocidos directamente por el autor en más de veinte años de militancia como integrante de la Dirección de las Fuerzas de Liberación Nacional y de la Comandancia del Ejército Zapatista.Al abrir el libro saldrán a escena centenares de hombres y mujeres grises que hablan, visten, caminan, laboran y viajan, sin distinguirse exteriormente de quienes los rodean… porque su propósito es precisamente pasar desapercibidos mientras siguen a un policía, adquieren manuales militares, reciben donativos de medicinas, trabajan en una empresa petrolera, rentan departamentos con nombres supuestos, llenan formularios en una embajada, imparten o toman clases, charlan en parques y neverías, conducen un taxi, venden café molido en mercados y restaurantes… para cumplir la modesta misión que ese día les corresponde en el gran proyecto: construir en silencio la organización revolucionaria para derrocar al régimen.Con el lente del arte literario verá el lector desde mítines estudiantiles hasta campamentos en la selva, pasando por casas de seguridad, reclutamiento de combatientes, debates políticos, enfrentamientos armados, persecuciones, emboscadas… actos, pensamientos, emociones de hombres y mujeres que en la búsqueda de un mundo de justicia y libertad entregaron su vida y, si acaso llegó el momento, también su muerte.
