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.
Again facing his reflection on the mirror, and again the same idea coming to his mind, putting an end to his life. Inside his clenched fist, mum's sleeping pills, his only hope for escaping the hell esecially designed for him by his schoolmates. His little sister's love being his only reason to endure a life of hardship, Santiago has become, after years suffering the cruellest of bullyings at school, a mere shadow of himself. Otra vez frente al espejo, y otra vez con la misma idea, quitarse la vida. En el interior de su mano cerrada, las pastillas de dormir de mamá, su única esperanza para escapar del infierno que han fabricado para él sus propios compañeros de colegio. Sin más aliciente para seguir viviendo que el amor por su hermanita Teresa, Santiago se ha convertido, tras años de estar sufriendo acoso en su colegio, en una sombra de sí mismo. La llegada de Lucía, una niña nueva, extraña y diferente, logrará rescatarlo del universo frío e inhóspito en el que vive, y hará renacer en él la esperanza de volver a sonreír. Pero en el colegio, la persecución continúa y Nacho, su principal acosador, no ceja en su empeño de doblegar su espíritu de un forma u otra. Y Santiago, decidido a no dejarse derrotar, acabará transformándose en aquello que más odia. The arrival of Lucia, a new classmate, different and awkward, will strike some degree of balance in his life, successfully rescuing him from the cold and barren universe he inhabits and triggering a new desire to smile again. But nothing changes at school: the bullying goes on relentlessly and Nacho, the worst bully, won't give up on his whim to break Santiago's spirit one way or the other. But Santiago, firmly determined not to be defeated, will inevitably turn into the thing he hates the most.
Este libro incide sobre una experiencia sui generis de construcción de paz en Colombia, los Laboratorios de paz. Situados en algunas de las zonas más conflictivas del país, constituyeron programas multidimensionales de construcción de paz desde la base, sostenidos por la sociedad civil, y con el respaldo y participación de la Unión Europea y del Estado colombiano. Esta investigación evalúa en qué medida los laboratorios de paz abrieron caminos novedosos y “fórmulas” alternativas para la paz a nivel local y regional.
La trilogía sobre la retórica del poder, que Enrique Lihn nos ha legado, fue creada bajo el signo del bufón y la podemos entender como literatura plural y abigarrada. Antonio Cornejo Polar señala en torno a estos dos conceptos: "corresponde a una especie de supradiscurso multiétnico que acumula, sin sintetizarlas, sus hondas y extensas contradicciones". En ese tenor, Enrique Lihn señala en uno de sus versos, dedicados al ocio increíble del que somos capaces: “el estilo que por lo cierto no es el hombre / sino la suma de sus incertidumbres”. En busca de la contradicción inherente, el autor chileno crea realidades ficcionales, que se apartan de lo documental y privilegia generar efectos de enmascaramiento y una comunicación que se da en términos de una combinación de estados neuróticos y paranoides. Habla que remite a un marco de censura y vigilancia, al punto de extremar el locus horridus propiciado por un poder corrupto e irrefrenable. Se trata del reino en que prevalece la palabra vacía e impotente que surge de la censura. Daniel Rojas Pachas nos entrega en este ensayo, una visión profunda y crítica de la narrativa, de uno de los escritores chilenos más importantes del siglo XX.

In a delirious transition between reality and possibility, revisiting specific moments of his past, the protagonist of the novel will persist in his efforts to recover the pieces of himself that are missing.

Is the goal the beginning or the end? Is the goal sequel or consequence? META Stories brings together eight narrative voices that transform realities, invert solutions and reconcile results with objectives, so that the purpose of their actions exceeds their own expectations. Some of the inhabitants of this playing field are: an ambitious journalist and an anti-establishment revolutionary planning known theories on outdated models; a perfect couple who decides their own path of perdition; a Russian teacher determined to beat the winter cold in postwar Spain; a young woman who finds a peculiar way of transmuting her family reality; a dressmaker's apprentice who in World War II Paris amends wrappings and fabrics; a mother who is reborn in a story already written; a woman who prefers to live to imagine, and for whom an outcome is reconstructed; and a man who learns the true meaning of not scoring a goal. The characters and voices in these stories pose new challenges in the extremes of a biographical journey in which the beginning and the end are part of a process of knowledge.

Kurzinformation ISBN 978-3-9525331-1-6 Titel “Santo de palo”. Mario Salazar Montero. Novela Existe sin duda alguna gente honesta en este mundo y en esta vida; gente admirable en quien confiar las vicisitudes íntimas y las incertidumbres, gente reconocible sin necesidad de alharaca de su parte, mortales comunes y corrientes, guiados por su propia experiencia, intuición y sufrimiento. Existe también desde luego otro tipo de consejeros, siempre en busca de reconocimiento, urgidos y ansiosos por obtener una aureola de bienhechores certificados, cueste lo que cueste, carentes de escrúpulos. A algunos entre estos últimos la suerte y la vida les sonrien, encuentran cómplices y adeptos, viven y mueren apestando a santidad comprada: son los inútiles “Santos de palo”; otros, menos afortunados, reciben a tiempo un merecido. Si el lugar geográfico donde los personajes que encarnan estas dos opciones de ayuda al prójimo es un pueblo a orillas del Océano Pacífico donde viven y conviven con sus protegidos o sus sometidos, un rincón perdido en las selvas tropicales de Suramérica, empobrecido y abusado, la selva no tiene en cuenta detalles de nacionalidad a la hora de castigar a su manera una santidad falsificada. Mario Salazar Montero. Geboren in Kolumbien, Südamerika. Lebt seit vielen Jahren in der Schweiz. Schriftsteller und Ingenieur. Hat mehrere Romane und Kurzgeschichten veröffentlicht. Spanisch und Deutsch. Mehr zum Autor und seinem literarischen Werk unter www.mariosalazar.ch
