        Frühlingssonate

        Memoiren des Marqués de Bradomín. Spanische Bibliothek

        by Ramón Valle-Inclán, Anneliese Botond

        Als junger Mann wird Marqués de Bradomín auf Weisung des Papstes an den florentinischen Hof Liguras entsandt. Der Herr der Stadt soll aus seinen Händen den Kardinalshut empfangen. Doch der Empfänger liegt im Sterben, und als Marqués de Bradomín die älteste der fünf bildhübschen Töchter der Fürstin erblickt, ändern sich seine Pläne. Die Verführung María Rosarios, längst dem Kloster versprochen, nimmt seinen Lauf. Doch sein Geschick, sein Wille, das Spiel mit Schuld und Imagination kostet ein Opfer, das nicht wiedergutzumachen ist. Vier den Jahreszeiten gewidmete Kurzromane schrieb Ramón del Valle-Inclán zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhundert als zentrale Figur des Modernismo, Frühlingssonate der bekannteste. In melancholischer, die feinste Schwingung, Regung, Alteration vermittelnder Sprache verwandelt er den Don-Juan-Mythos in einen Urtext der der spanischen Moderne.

        Un día… (One day…)

        by Chiara Carrer

        It could happen that one day, one word describes us, one image reflects an emotion, and one name tells us its story. That each thing, made up of different parts, wanders in a space of fragments, only to find us. One day, Isabel, Omar, Lola, and the others arrive, all eager to tell you their story.

        Títeres trashumantes (Transhumant puppets)

        by Mario Martín del Campo, Silvia Eugenia Castillero

        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.

        A cada quien su casa (To each his own house)

        by Chiara Carrer

        This beautiful book full of images, textures and voices builds «the house / of always maybe never / of time». Chiara Carrer parts from the poetic definition of home, but a book full of narrative and memories is established right from the beginning. «I forgot / the place, when / and where / I forgot», a woman with pink hair and yellow hands decribes as part of the adventure that this unique book proposes.

        El hijo zurdo

        by Rosario Izquierdo

        The Left-handed Son. Lola is a young mother of two children, divorced and progressive, who impotently watches the drift of the youngest, Lorenzo, towards the darkness of a neo-Nazi group. In the attempt to understand and regain her son, Lola interacts with Maru, another mother of a different social class who lives in a situation similar to her own. There is a backdrop of different themes - the play of mirrors between the women, city peripheries, and the potential of support networks for those who have become mothers very young - issues of particular interest to the author. An intense and moving story about motherhood in its most heartrending aspect.

      • Ramona

        by Rosario Villajos

        In 1927 E. M. Forster concluded that, in the novels, the difference between the story and the plot lays in a single word: pain. Thus, it is something very different that a king and a queen died—story—, than those king and queen died because of something: pain creates the plot. It could be thought that Ramona, from Rosario Villajos, fulfills this rule and that the story that we are told is that of the passage from childhood to adolescence through the very pain that this journey generates. It is, perhaps, for this reason, that both the protagonist and the gallery of characters that accompany her do not appeal to our compassion, nor will we find in them a search for redemption. In the world that Rosario Villajos creates, the journey of her heroine is that of someone who knows she doesn't even have the means to pay the price of the ticket. A world that is very similar to ours, whose story is that it continually rejects us and whose plot is that it does so with amazing ease.

        Crónicas de melancolía eufórica

        by Mario de Andrade / Rosario Lázaro Igoa / Martín Verges

        Las crónicas de Mário de Andrade (1893-1945), dan cuenta tanto de un paisaje exterior como de una mirada íntima. No se trata del registro que podría realizar una cámara objetiva dispuesta a explorar la realidad del mundo visible, sino de una experiencia privada que se proyecta sobre todas las cosas como una luz indirecta y reveladora. Así, el cronista se sube a un ómnibus en Sâo Paulo o a una barcaza que lo llevará a remontar el Amazonas, y su viaje siempre es doble, a la vez hacia afuera y hacia lo profundo, y no es posible diferenciar uno del otro. De Andrade es un finísimo observador capaz de perderse en ensoñaciones ensimismadas, ideas febriles, alucinadas, que repentinamente adquieren una brillante lucidez. El obsequio que cada uno de los textos seleccionados y reunidos aquí nos ofrece es participar de la forma en que una sensibilidad poderosa, delirante y lúdica permite que las fuerzas de la vida la atraviesen, eufórica y melancólicamente a un tiempo, sin contradicción alguna.

        Action for collective conscience. The defense of human rights and struggle for the configuration of justice in Colombia, 1970-1991

        La defensa de los derechos humanos y las luchas por la configuración de la justicia en Colombia, 1970-1992

        by Anderson Manuel Vargas Coronel

        Recently, the violence unleashed against social leaders and human rights defenders in Colombia has sounded the alarms about the existence of a systematic persecution against them. In this context, Action for collective conscience presents an analysis of the debates that have been sparked about the defense of human rights and how they have led to stigmatization practices against those who defend them. This book examines the situation from three analytical perspectives: the demands of the human rights movement, the actors who promoted these demands, and the repertoires of action used. To the effect, the study takes as starting point the decade of 1970s, a period in which the defense of life and a redefinition of what fair is occupied a central place in social mobilization as a platform to denounce the arbitrary actions committed by the State. The study period ends in 1991 when the disputes over human rights resulted in the inclusion of a catalog of rights and mechanisms for their protection in the Political Constitution, which meant a partial institutionalization of the demands of the movement.

        Sant’Onofrio e la contessa (Saint Onuphrius and the Countess)

        by Rosario Vitale

        “I think I’m on the right track. I’m in Italy, the homeland of music itself, right? I am in Naples, the city with the unsurpassed tradition. If this is not the place, then what must it be?”.Naples, summer 1737.Rodolfo Pimi Degli Esposti, a wealthy Paraguayan boy with a true passion for music, is finally fulfilling his lifelong dream of studying in the city with the greatest musical tradition in the world: Naples.The young man is indeed talented, and succeeds in proving it; his mind, however, is often with Natalia, a girl he had met on the same day of his arrival by sea. Extremely poor, Natalia makes a living by telling stories in exchange for something to eat and a handful of coins. Rodolfo is fascinated by the girl and often visits her at the city harbour, hoping to get to know her better.Rodolfo’s life unfolds between the conservatory, where he befriends Carmine (a cadet that is steadily against the prospect of a career in the army or in the Church), and the harbour, where he slowly manages to win Natalia’s trust.Their bond progresses until it turns into an actual relationship, which will eventually bloom on the evening of the inauguration of the San Carlo Theatre (where the young protagonists are the honour of being present).At the end of the soirée, wanting to pay their respects to maestro Domenico Sarro, Rodolfo, Natalia, and Carmine go and visit him in his dressing room. The composer immediately takes a liking to them and invites them to the reception organized by his sister, Anna. It will be a chance for them to meet other notable people, including Raimondo di Sangro, Prince of Sansevero.Against the backdrop of a Naples in full splendour, everything seems to be going well for Rodolfo and Natalia – until fate decides otherwise.
