Die Fruchtbaren Länder sind in Aufruhr. Dunkle Zeichen deuten auf eine Bedrohung, die von jenseits des Meeres zu kommen scheint. Die Obersten Astronomen rufen Vertreter der sieben Stämme in der Sternenstadt Beleram zusammen, um eine Allianz gegen den zu gründen, der – so verkündet es die Legende – aus der Alten Welt kommen und die Fruchtbaren Länder unterwerfen will: Misaianes, Sohn des Ewigen Hasses. Unter ihrem eigenwilligen Anführer Dulkancellin zieht der Bund des Hirsches in den Kampf. Doch gegen die Verräter in den eigenen Reihen und die fremden, eisengerüsteten Männer auf den Tieren mit Mähne scheint ein Sieg unmöglich. Wenn es nicht den Erdzauberer Kupuka und seine Magie gäbe ... Die Mythen der südamerikanischen Ureinwohner aufgreifend, schafft Liliana Bodoc in ihrer mitreißenden Saga ein phantastisches Universum, in dem zwei Weltanschauungen aufeinanderprallen.

EL CAMPO DE FRAU GRUBER El manifiesto de las cenizas del gallo, de Ted Barr ?Cuáles son los límites del mal? ?Qué significado tiene la vida, a un paso de una muerte súbita arbitraria? ?Vale la pena vivir detrás de una cerca eléctrica? El Campo de Frau Gruber es una alegoría apasionante acerca de la fe humana en sus momentos más oscuros, que recuerda mucho la obra maestra de George Orwell, Rebelión en la granja.Un mundo que sostiene a gente como Frau Gruber, Herr Schickl y sus insanos asociados no es el mundo en el que vivimos. Aunque en muchos aspectos parece ser similar, es más bien un universo paralelo, desconectado de la realidad que conocemos.No obstante, a veces el lector puede no prestar atención a las diferencias. En esta novela sorprendente y enigmática, el lector se ve sutil y lentamente sumergido en un microcosmos imaginario, un mundo fantástico a la vez poético y terrible, a veces conmovedor y otras horrendo, en el que la vida no es más que una mercancía sin valor.Los gallos como seres humanos son solo actores momentáneos en una obra mucho más grande, o sea demasiado miopes para entender —con la excepción del viejo gallo Ba Ba Lup, que, como los antiguos profetas, tiene ojos para ver pero no tiene el poder para cambiar.La única manera de otorgar un significado a tiempos tan terribles es guardarlo todo en la memoria, que es el marco en el que esta novela se basa:la fe humana, el olvido, el recuerdo y la esencia de la vida durante una época imposible. A pesar de partir de una descripción mayormente improvisada de la infancia de Adolf Hitler, el Campo de Frau Gruber no se limita a relatar una historia en muchos sentidos paralela a la historia de los judíos en Europa. Antes bien, evoluciona hasta transformarse en una fábula sobre el aspecto general de la experiencia humana en el siglo XX, escrita a través de los ojos de un espectador del siglo XXI, como un acto de bravura contemporáneo. El autor, Ted Barr, de 54 años, posee una maestría en Economía y tiene diversas áreas de interés, entre otras, historia alemana, simbolismo, tácticas de batallón y de división y astronomía.Barr es un afamado artista, que se especializa en galaxias y otros elementos celestiales.El autor ha desarrollado una técnica de pintura única, que enseña en talleres en todo el mundo.También es el fundador del Current Art Group y en el sitio de arte www.tedpaintings.com se puede ver el fruto de su actividad artística. En 2006 se publicó por vez primera en Israel una versión hebrea de El Campo deFrau Gruber, tras la primera obra de Barr, Krombee, un libro para niños publicado en 1990.

In the stretch of emptyness where no one dwells, changing beings are born as drops, as enigmas, as suspension points... They take a little bit of light and then steal shade from darkness. Thus these puppets grow strong, stealthy, and alive in the multiple sceneries of their theatre.

This volume is the first English-language collection exclusively dedicated to the study of genre in relation to Spanish cinema. Providing a variety of critical perspectives, the collection gives the reader a thorough account of the relationship between Spanish cinema and genre, drawing on case studies of several of the most remarkable Spanish films in recent years. The book analyses the significant changes in the aesthetics, production and reception of Spanish film from 1990 onwards. It brings together European and North American scholars to establish a critical dialogue on the topics under discussion, while providing multiple perspectives on the concepts of national cinemas and genre theory. In recent years film scholarship has attempted to negotiate the tension between the nationally specific and the internationally ubiquitous, discussing how globalisation has influenced film making and surrounding cultural practice. These broader social concerns have prompted scholars to emphasise a redefinition of national cinemas beyond strict national boundaries and to pay attention to the transnational character of any national site of film production and reception. This collection provides a thorough investigation of contemporary Spanish cinema within a transnational framework, by positing cinematic genres as the meeting spaces between a variety of diverse forces that necessarily operate within but also across territorial spaces. Paying close attention to the specifics of the Spanish cinematic and social panorama, the essays investigate the transnational economic, cultural and aesthetic forces at play in shaping Spanish film genres today.
