A true mercenary, nicknamed the Butcher of Lyon, he was finally identified and hunted down until 1987, the fateful year of his trial and conviction, unprecedented in France: life imprisonment for crimes against humanity.

Can anyone deceive the loved one in order to protect him or her from the cruel truth of love? Like broken magnets that first repel and then attract each other, the characters of this comical tragedy of entanglements swing between love and lovelessness, between fantasy and reality, between dream and wakefulness. In the confusion of these parallel lives, they stray into a diffuse reality that becomes clear when they all accept that they have deceived and been deceived. In his extensive and brilliant literary career, Ariel Magnus usually approaches from a marginal sector the crucial issues that are being debated in society. As if he had an antenna capable of capturing the sign of the times, but with a certain lag that makes him decode reality from the eccentric -in the sense of being out of the center- and, therefore, paradoxically, in a sharper, more forceful and notably more uncomfortable way. His style is recognizable in the marks of humor, absurdity, polysemy, logical contradictions.

El ascensor de Einstein: científicos que cambiaron el mundo por Felix Dothan El autor escribe sobre la vida y trabajo de científicos prominentes que consiguieron descifrar los secretos de la naturaleza, e inventores que cambiaron el curso de la humanidad. Estos científicos eran personas reales, de carne y hueso, diferentes del uno al otro. Entre ellos se encontraban personajes próximos a la santidad, tales como Albert Einstein y Lise Meitner, junto a ellos personas casi de otro mundo, como Srinivasa Ramanujan. Hubo científicos eminentes que carecieron de integridad intelectual, tales como Leibniz, o aquellos que despertaron sentimientos tanto de admiración como revulsión, como por ejemplo, Fritz Haber. Y muchos más: Arquímedes, uno de los fundadores de las matemáticas y un inventor de armas avanzadas; Benjamin Franklin: empresario, pionero de la teoría de la electricidad, diplomático, autor, y estadista; Davy : un químico agudo y brillante; y así sigue la lista, hasta el astrofísico renombrado Chandrasekhar, uno de los científicos quien, en las últimas décadas, descubrió hechos sorprendentes sobre el universo. Junto a las biografías de los científicos, el libro contiene cuentos cortos sobre temas relacionados con la ciencia – cuentos interesantes y divertidos, pero instructivos a la vez.

“In any case, when you decide to try harga, it's because you no longer expect anything from life. Or that you expect a lot!” (Akram El Kebir) The summer of 2018 was particularly deadly in Oran, as the discovery of harraga corpses being fished out of the Mediterranean was commonplace. That same summer saw the commissioning of a water cab, the Rossinante II, which made the daily shuttle between Oran and the small seaside town of Aïn El Turk. A cafe owner in a small estaminet in Sidi El Houari, Zaki, at the age of 24, led a dull, boring life, with no prospects for the future other than to cherish the hope of one day attempting the harga. It was only the fear of ending up eaten by fish that dissuaded him. That said, as soon as he heard about the water cab, an absurd idea occurred to him: what if he hijacked the boat and headed for the Iberian coast? He won't be alone in this crazy adventure, as his neighborhood friends Okacha and Anis, and other outcasts, are sure to follow him. But these modern-day Don Quixotes shouldn't claim victory too soon! They'll learn the hard way that hijacking an entire ship is no picnic. They'll have to face up to the Italian crew, as well as the rest of the passengers. Passionate debates ensue, in a sort of impromptu Citizens' Assembly, where all issues affecting society are discussed. On the eve of the February 22nd Revolution, Zaki has eyes only for one of his hostages, the impetuous Nafissa...

Mazen, a young boy, is one day surprised by their neighbor Bassam shouting with anger in the street “My parking spot is a red line!” Does this mean he plans to paint the street red, asks Mazen to his mother? The mother explains to Mazen that what Bassam means is simply that no one is to park in his place. The notion is still vague to Mazen: Why red? Does it have anything to do with red traffic lights? The mother tries again “When something is a red line, it means that it is off limits to others”. In this illustrated album, Samar Barraj boldly addresses the delicate issue of child sexual abuse. Acknowledging the complexity of the boundary it tackles, the book determines it through examples the mother and child raise in their conversation. Mazen’s spontaneous remarks and comments point out the difficulty of defining this red line, and make of the book a realistic example of such a conversation. The illustrations develop the notion further, by representing situations in which the red line might be crossed – one may be on his bicycle, at his computer, or approached by a respectable-looking old man in the street. The body parts are not named, but are represented in a naïve drawing Mazen made, though the text insists on the importance of preserving the body as a whole. The colorful images and constant presence of the mother and parents make of the book a reassuring experience despite the gravity of the topic.

Nachdem der »IS« in Trümmern lag und »Kalif« al-Baghdadi im Oktober 2019 von US-Truppen getötet wurde, schien der »Krieg gegen den Terror« einmal mehr beendet. Aber der Dschihadismus ist längst eine globale Bewegung geworden, der Dutzende von Organisationen angehören – und mit Gewalt allein ist ihr nicht beizukommen.Seit drei Jahrzehnten verfolgt Asiem El Difraoui als Filmemacher, Journalist und Wissenschaftler diese Entwicklung. Er traf Kampfgefährten bin Ladens in Khartum und PR-Strategen, die in Berlin-Charlottenburg Propagandavideos produzierten. In Kriegsgebieten wie Bosnien, dem Irak oder in Afghanistan hat er selbst den Terror gegen die Bevölkerung miterlebt. Und immer wieder kam der Terror auch zu ihm, wie in Gestalt der Anschläge 1995 und 2015 in Paris, die sich in seiner unmittelbaren Nachbarschaft ereigneten. Kenntnisreich und anschaulich schildert Difraoui, wie der Dschihadismus entstanden ist, wie seine Denkmuster und PR-Strategien sich gewandelt haben und woraus die Hydra ihre Kraft bezieht. Was macht die todbringende Ideologie gerade auch für junge Menschen in Europa attraktiv? Welchen Anteil hat der Westen, haben die Medien an ihrem Erfolg? Und wie kann es gelingen, ihre Macht zu brechen? Ein aufrüttelnder Appell, sich einer der größten Gefahren der Gegenwart zu stellen.

“If the world were a lemon and one were to tie a string around its middle, then that string would be what is called the Equator. It divides the world in half, and it is under the path of the sun. The bumps on the two ends of the lemon are the north pole and the south pole, both cold and icy. About where the knot of the string is, where it is warm the year round, is the land of Ecuador.”

“In the old days, passing on an inheritance was rarely an issue. Oh, there were always old men to complain about the folly of the new generations and cheeky brats ready to mock their elders, but, on the whole, the world of sons resembled that of fathers, and the lessons of the latter were passed on without much difficulty. Today, each era seems to create its own world, bringing its own new life into it. The challenge is not to lose sight of the aspects of continuity that reign from one era to the next.” Mohamed Abdallah Egypt, its neighbors. Cairo, a city that has created an arena for itself between the jaws of the desert. Its river emerges from elsewhere, the Nile, always there, meandering amiably between Cairo's buildings, sometimes disappearing behind a mosque or cinema, before reappearing for good, an ancient comrade in a procession backwards through the decades. Its nourishing trickles are laden with secrets, the destinies of men and women and the mysteries of millennia. One era? No, several. At the beginning, or rather at the end, two novelists, two cousins who don't know each other but remember the same universe. In their books, they recount its beauty, greatness and pettiness, successes and failings. The root of this painful poetics? A revived horizon, refracted from one era to the next. Revolutions wished for, sung about, mourned.

If learning to prepare tea takes a lifetime, what is truly learned in the process? That is the question that surrounds El viento entre los pinos, Japanese-style: without offering an answer, through anecdotes, poems, and reflections that bring the tea ceremony—one of the most exquisite disciplines of Japanese culture—closer to everyday life. Tasks such as purifying the utensils, arranging flowers, preparing the charcoal, and heating the water appear, in the author's words, as a genuine meditation in motion, inviting us to pause in the present and appreciate our surroundings with all our senses.

El castigo sin venganza (1631) is Lope de Vega's greatest tragedy. The play dramatises the story of the adulterous relationship between the beautiful Casandra, Duchess of Ferrara, and her step-son, Federico, and the reaction of her husband, the Duke, himself a flawed and ambiguous figure. The dramatist, at the height of his powers, re-works an earlier Italian short story to explore the complexities of human desire and the grim consequences of giving in to temptation. Aimed principally at undergraduates who are new to Spanish Golden Age drama, this edition includes a substantial commentary on the text, explanatory footnotes and a selected vocabulary. The introduction sets the play in its contexts - historical and dramatic - and focuses too on elements of the genre with which new readers might be unfamiliar: performance norms, the poetry of the play and the linguistic differences in Golden Age Spanish. It is informed by up-to-date scholarship on the play from Spain and the Anglophone world. ;

Mozart: El hombre detrás de la música, por Amos Navon La historia deja constancia de Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart como alguien cuyas melodías parecen haber brotado de ángeles, que llegaban a su mente más rápido de lo que podía anotarlas. ?Cómo logró desarrollarse y superarse profesionalmente a pesar de las tragedias familiares: la muerte de cuatro de sus seis hijos y graves problemas de salud? ?Cómo logró ser el músico más prolífico en la Europa del siglo XVIII a pesar de sus graves problemas económicos y de la dificultad para encontrar un trabajo permanente remunerador? ?Qué fue lo que impulsó a este asombroso erudito musical? En Mozart: El hombre detrás de la música, el Dr. Amós Navón, flautista clásico y consumado biógrafo, responde a preguntas profundas e hipnóticas acerca del hombre detrás de la música. Para ello, examina los elementos en la vida de Mozart que forjaron su personalidad y determinaron su destino, a medida que el lector acompaña al genial compositor en la travesía que plasmará la creación de su poco reconocida obra maestra, la ópera seria Idomeneo. El autor también describe el extraordinario desarrollo de Mozart al escribir música para instrumentos de viento para virtuosos amigos. También examinamos la colaboración de Mozart con Lorenzo Da Ponte, el libretista de sus tres óperas más importantes: Las bodas de Fígaro, Don Giovanni y Cosi fan Tutte. Pero no se trata sencillamente de un árido examen de composición. Aprendemos a conocer al Mozart tan humano, a Constanza, quien a duras penas sobrevivió como la esposa de Mozart y la madre de sus hijos y que tras su muerte, dedicó su vida a mantener vivo el recuerdo de su esposo. El lector sufre al seguir las desdichas económicas de Mozart en la época en que vivió en Salzburgo y posteriormente en Viena, sus interacciones con el barón Raymond Wetzlar von Plankenstein e incluso sus «cartas de súplica» a Michael Puchberg. El completo relato de este ser intensamente humano refleja la dependencia de Mozart en épocas de necesidad económica, el rol de los juegos de azar en su vida diaria, su actitud hacia la religión y si su sueño supremo de vivir una vida próspera y burguesa alguna vez se hizo realidad. Dr. Amós Navón, graduado de la Universidad de Tel Aviv y de la Universidad Hebrea de Jerusalén. Distinguido biólogo, flautista y miembro de conjuntos de música de cámara reconocidos a nivel nacional, que ha publicando anteriormente tres libros de poesía. En la tapa: retrato de perfil de W.A.

Upon entering the Royal Spanish Academy in 1975, Miguel Delibes delivered an address which reclaimed El camino (1950) for the emerging Green movement. With a blend of hilarity, satire, pathos and tragedy, Delibes artfully explores the process of crossing boundaries in pursuit of maturity and social advancement, whilst also implying that real education is the unfolding of the human heart among friends and sweethearts within a shared social and natural space. This new annotated version of the text comprises an introductory essay discussing green issues, attitudes towards the Spanish peasantry under Franco, and the function of the novel's subtly orchestrated comedy. It also contains explanatory notes on the text, discussion topics and an extensive Spanish-English glossary. This edition is intended primarily for English-speaking students of Spanish literature and culture at school and university. ;

El KETER: el Códice de Alepo por Amnon Shamosh El códice de Alepo (el término hebreo "Keter", cuyo significado literal es "corona", simboliza un códice de la Biblia, a diferencia de un rollo manuscrito) es el primer manuscrito conocido que incluye el texto completo de la Biblia. Sin lugar a dudas se trata del documento de origen sagrado más fidedigno y preciso, por su texto bíblico y por su vocalización, cantilación bíblica, y "Massorah" (literalmente "transmisión" de la Biblia, la tradición oral y escrita gracias a la cual las escrituras sagradas se han preservado y transmitido de generación en generación). Como tal, el códice de Alepo ha logrado una posición de preeminencia entre los manuscritos hebraicos y judaicos y es de gran trascendencia religiosa y erudita, más que cualquier otro manuscrito de la Biblia. Una antigua tradición confiere al códice un aura única de autoridad, reverencia y santidad y sostiene que Maimónides lo consultó al establecer las reglas exactas para escribir manuscritos de la Torá (esto se deduce de su comentario: "lo he utilizado como base para el ejemplar del 'Sefer Torá', que escribí según la ley"). Los rabinos y ancianos de la comunidad de Aleppo protegieron celosamente el códice durante unos seiscientos años. La desgracia (si no el trauma) que representó su pérdida durante los disturbios antijudíos en Alepo en 1947, cuando la sinagoga local fue incendiada, se tornó en alegría y alivio al ser redescubierto (aunque no completo) gracias a intensivos y espectaculares esfuerzos de rescate y finalmente fue traído a Jerusalén. Amnon Shamosh nació en Siria en 1929, inmigró a Tel Aviv de niño y llegó a ser posteriormente uno de los miembros fundadores de Kibutz Ma'ayan Baruj, donde reside hasta la fecha. Se graduó en la Universidad Hebrea de Jerusalén y ha escrito tanto poesía como prosa para niños y adultos. Sus obras se han traducido al inglés, al español y al francés y una de sus novelas fue llevada a la televisión en forma de miniserie. Amnon Shamosh ha sido galardonado con el Premio "Agnón" denominado en honor del célebre Premio Nóbel de Literatura israelí, el Premio "Shalom-Aleijem", el Premio del Primer Ministro a la Creatividad, el Premio de Literatura del Presidente de Israel y otros numerosos premios literarios.
