September 2027Las cuatro Paolinas Polinsky
by Becky Rubinstein
Description Las Cuatro Paolinas Polinsky is a story that takes place in the Mexican Bajío, in the times of the poet Ramón López Velarde. This book narrates the adventures and lives of four generations of women whose existence takes place between the Porfiriato and post-revolutionary Mexico, whose physical and spiritual landscapes become extraordinary in after-dinner chats, in the interpretation of dreams, in poetry readings and mare trot journeys that mark not only the transit of the Polinskys, but of the entire country. The time of this story is marked by the memories of the Paolinas' ancestors, re-presented in the voice and stews of Doña Clementina and through the writing of Don Ramiro's Almanaque. In this novel, Becky Rubinstein recreates a beautiful provincial Mexico, but also a convulsive nation, full of fantastic characters that inhabit every corner and town in the interior of the country; A Mexico that has apparently vanished, but that survives in family stories and in the verses of López Velarde, in that soft homeland that not only saw the arrival of modernity, the train and the iron and concrete palaces, but also a violent social revolution that transformed everyone's walk on trotting roads, and later, on stumbling avenues infested by motorized vehicles. Welcome to this journey through time to recognize ourselves in the faces of each of the four Paolinas Polinsky.

Bienvenidos a este viaje por el tiempo para reconocernos en los rostros de cada una de la cuatro Paolinas Polinsky.

Saint Michael The Archangel
by Immacolata Aulisa, Claudio Azzara, Gioia Bertelli, Pierre Bouet, Ada Campione, Franco Cardini, Manuel Castiñeiras, Gerardo Cioffari, Alessandro di Muro, Klaus Herbers, Renzo Infante, Gábor Klaniczay, Giorgio Otranto, Francesco Panarelli, Giuseppe Sergi, André Vauchez, Catherine Vincent
From the Hebrew name meaning “Who Is Like God?”, Michael is one of the angels–together with Raphael (“God Heals”) and Gabriel (“God Is My Strength”)–whose names are mentioned in the Holy Scripture. Since the first centuries of Christianity, there has been a wide diffusion of his worship in Europe and in the East through a multitude of sanctuaries and chapels, mostly nestled in high places, related to caves and water. An astonishing feature of this spread is a mysterious straight line crossing the European continent from North-West to South-East from Ireland to Asia Minor, and it is perfectly aligned with the sunset on the day of Summer Solstice. Along this line are seven sanctuaries dedicated to Michael, three of which have been significantly important over the centuries: Mont Saint-Michel in Normandy, the Sacra di San Michele in val di Susa and the Sanctuary of Monte Sant’Angelo on Mount Gargano, in Puglia. Three extraordinary high places that are all the same distance one from the other and which have always been a constant pilgrimage destination. Another aspect is the connection Saint Michael had with the Longobards, who migrated across Europe between the second and the sixth century until they reached Italy where they settled. This made Michael the first truly “European” Saint, attracting believers from all over the continent. With the contribution of some of the most important historians and medievalists from different European countries, this book depicts the presence of Saint Michael in Europe, starting with the diffusion of his devotion, especially during the Middle Ages, and extending to an analysis of the iconography of the Saint through the many architectural and artistic testimonies to be found throughout Europe. Thanks to its influential contributions and to the variety of both historical and iconographic topics, combined with the spectacular nature of the numerous images of places and artistic testimonies, this book is a unique journey through Europe between art and faith.
