UNA JUDÍA NACIDA COMUNISTA
by Jeana Altbuch
UNA JUDÍA NACIDA COMUNISTA - Viaje a un pasado siempre presente por Jeana Altbuch Jeana Altbuch (en el libro, Marina Breitmann), judía de nacimiento y por elección y comunista por una serie de circunstancias, salió a la luz del mundo en la Rumanía de posguerra. Más o menos en la misma época, el comunismo, entre cuyos fundadores en su país se contaba su padre, se convirtió en la fuerza política dominante e incorporó a su familia a la Nomenklatura, la élite de la época. La protagonista describe su feliz niñez en una burbuja protectora, pero también su espectacular caída cuando el régimen la rechaza y la burbuja revienta. Su padre era una persona demasiado honrada para la ciénaga ideológica comunista y en consecuencia, fue sometido a juicio con efectos perdurables. Como resultado de ello y en un intento de encontrar refugio, Altbuch cruzó Europa y llegó a Francia, donde comenzó su difícil y decepcionante experiencia de aprendizaje. Se trata de una historia verdaderamente pintoresca, salpicada de versátiles aventuras, felices o tristes, pero siempre apasionantes y conmovedoras. Jeana Altbuch nos presenta un relato que nos lleva a través de un continente, entre el comunismo y otros “ismos”, mientras que su identidad judía es un ancla permanente en su vida. Este libro no sólo enseña sobre las cosas de la vida, sino que es también una conmovedora lección de historia contemporánea. Jeana Albuch nació en 1946 en Bucarest, Rumanía y en 1966 llegó a Francia para tramitar allí su matrimonio. Dado que no logró obtener en Francia el reconocimiento de sus estudios de lenguas en un país comunista, trabajó durante un tiempo en una florería regenteada por una familia. Después del nacimiento de su segundo hijo en 1978, UNESCO validó finalmente los certificados y títulos de países de Europa Oriental y pudo invertir sus energías en un área de trabajo más afín a sus capacidades e inclinaciones. Comenzó a trabajar como maestra y más tarde como directora educativa. Esos fueron los años más felices de su vida profesional, que prolongó trabajando como Asesora de gestión europea para recursos humanos.

FictionAndreaa Constantin
by Esteban Torres Lana
A dangerous challenge at sea through a rock arch battered by strong waves. She ends up seriously injured in a leg when her friend Aurelio arrives at the cove. Overcoming her pain, she hides her injuries from Aurelio and tells him the extraordinary story of her mother, which propelled her to undertake such a madness. The story begins 6 years ago in Tenerife, with Nayra's expulsion from Philosophy class for the third time in a week, causing Pablo, her father, to pick her up from school and embark on a long day of disputes, confessions, and finally, complicities between them. Walking around Santa Cruz, canceling classes and professional commitments, Pablo and Nayra spend the day discovering a personal and sentimental reality that surprises them. The problems Nayra mentions with a group of immigrant classmates, along with the aggression Nayra shows towards her mother, Lola, prompt Pablo to tell her the unfinished story with Andreea, a high-class Romanian prostitute. Pablo cannot control the level of intimacy of the tale despite his own amazement, hearing himself say things he thought were unspeakable. Nayra responds, between disputes and affection, interspersing her own confidences, some of them having a strong impact, like the adventure with an immigrant who arrived on the beaches of Fuerteventura during a summer excursion. Neither tells the most intimate details of their stories truthfully, but they are accessible to the reader. Despite frequent arguments due to the teenager's incisive and groundbreaking language, their complicity grows and they end up spending the day together, walking through different places in the city. The story with Andreea takes on dramatic tones that completely captivate the young woman. Two suicides, the chase by Romanian mafia, returning to her hometown, searching for Pablo, Andreea’s struggle to regain her dignity and her artistic capacity through painting, and the apparent disappearance of her father's life, capture Nayra’s attention. Despite the narrative tricks used by Pablo, when night falls and they reach home, Nayra connects the dots and is surprised to discover that her perfectionist and successful mother, a recognized painter from Santa Cruz, with whom she has had a very conflictive season, is Andreea Constantin, the Romanian immigrant her father met as a high-class prostitute. After an initial reaction of rejection due to the ignorance in which she was kept, she understands her mother's situation. All the questions she always had about many details of her life arise with the discovery. A few years after discovering her identity, Andreea disappears from home. A call from Romania alerts them to the discovery of two charred bodies near her birthplace and the presence of her old exploiter nearby, who cursed her for life through a Transylvania ritual when she abandoned prostitution. Knowing she was discovered in Tenerife, Andreea tried to keep her family away from danger and returned to her country, where she was easy prey for the mafia. Pablo and his daughter Nayra fly to Bucharest to identify Andreea’s body, which may have been brutally murdered and burned. When it seems the identification will be negative, a small detail of the clothing makes them doubt. Desolate, they receive medical and psychological support from the Romanian team, but it turns out to be a false lead. Andreea is rescued from a hideout and has survived due to a misunderstanding by her captors. Protected by the Romanian police, she later becomes a key witness whose testimony ends the dangerous band of her pimp. But that bravery comes at a price; 2 years later, she does not return from an art exhibition in Paris. The police believe that her exploiter’s curse was fulfilled by a nephew who visited him in prison shortly before his death and was seen in Paris during the days Andreea had the exhibition. After a year of anguish, Nayra can no longer bear the situation and decides to mourn her mother at the cove where she painted her last picture. It had as its background the rock arch symbolizing the risk of living and facing life’s challenges. Nayra considers her mother lost and throws Andreea’s ashes into the sea, symbolized by those of a magnolia branch she planted many years ago. With this, she internalizes the loss and the fighting values Andreea taught her. The exit from the volcanic cove is a song to the life that continues and to the young woman who represents it. The novel is dedicated to the memory of Andreea Constantin and the thousands of women sexually exploited around the world.

The Countess and the Organ Player
by Cesia Hirshbein
In the historical context of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the height of the Romantic era, the 19th century, Anton Bruckner, the famous Austrian composer and organist, falls in love with the imposing Countess Henriette. She had been appointed lady-in-waiting to Princess Charlotte of Belgium, the wife of Prince Maximilian of Habsburg, to attend to her during the couple's Mexican endeavor. They had been named Emperor and Empress of Mexico and would embark on a journey to America for this mission. Bruckner meets the countess by chance at the funeral of Maximilian, who had been assassinated in Querétaro in 1867, during the so-called Second Mexican Empire. On the recommendation of a musician friend of Henriette's, who sees him at the funeral, she takes piano lessons with Bruckner. When she tells him that she had accompanied the empress to Mexico, the composer becomes enchanted. He admired Maximilian and was passionate about Mexico; he had even wanted to accompany the emperor. Ultimately, the only trips he made were to give organ concerts in London and another at Notre Dame in Paris. Between classes, the countess tells him of the Atlantic crossing, the arrival in Veracruz, and the entrance to Mexico City. Gradually, they grow closer. In one of his concerts, Bruckner meets Franz Liszt, who was a patron of Maximilian's empire in Mexico. Meanwhile, the countess and the organist plan a Requiem, which will be the turning point between them.

I Follow The Voices of Soft, Quiet Goddesses
by Hugo Roca Joglar
There is an idea by D.H. Lawrence: 'we are the secret dreams of our grandmothers.' But not the dreams they openly accepted and pursued, rather the secret dreams: those they denied, and merely thinking about them plunged them into fear and guilt. This Hugo Roca's definitive exploration of this concept: It begins with the death of his grandmother and ends with the imminent birth of his daughter, and in between, he narrates his struggle to establish a different flow, where through a process of re-educating himself (which leads to confront the most horrible demons of his lineage), he seeks to stop lying and to have no more secrets: to decipher his hidden dreams so as not to pass on the curse of embodying them to his daughter. A narrative that redefines parenthood and embarks on a profound quest for new forms of beauty.

La certeza de los caminos es la necesaria continuación de Pasos Aparentes, novela en la que Gabriela Valier –buscando ser la hacedora de su propio destino- se dejaba encandilar por el mundo aparentemente perfecto que le ofrecía el capitán Diego Venturi. Pronto descubría la trastienda sucia de una historia que involucraba incluso a su propia familia y, cuando los secretos se revelaban con su fetidez, arrastraban a Gabriela hacia el abismo. En esta segunda parte, tras su matrimonio fallido con Diego Venturi, Gabriela regresa a Córdoba acompañada por su suegra y por su cuñado, Esteban Paz. Es mayo de 1940 y con sus escasos veintiún años, Gabriela carga con heridas y estigmas difíciles de superar. Pero su fuerza interior no se ha perdido y, a pesar de que fantasea con el retorno a su Paraná natal, pronto van abriéndose caminos a su paso con tonada cordobesa, y la figura de Esteban –invisible para ella hasta apenas un año atrás- crece, se fortalece y se agiganta a tal punto que se convierte en el nombre que no puede dejar de repetir. Animarse a cuestionar creencias propias y ajenas, desnudar hipocresías familiares, vencer prejuicios y liberarse del peso del deber ser será el desafío y el proceso de ambos si quieren recorrer juntos esos nuevos caminos.

Humanities & Social SciencesAugust 2019Enseñemos paz, aprendamos paz: la pedagogía al servicio de la cohesión social
by Juan David Enciso
Peace is an idea, an abstract concept, which must be grounded in concrete realities. And building peace involves moving from an initial state, which may or may not be conflict, to a second moment in which people have learned to know, relate, meet, and live together. This book tries to elaborate on the construction of peace from an educational process, in which individuals learn to recognize themselves as subjects of equal dignity and with the capacity to carry out projects oriented to the common good. Similarly, educational settings, the so-called learning environments, are not confined exclusively to the walls of the classroom or the boundaries of formal education institutions: peace education occurs in any environment in which two or more coincide. people with potential conflicts of interest or collective construction.

November 2023Ménage à Trois
Contes–Kurzgeschichte–Relatos
by Manuel Giron
Ménage à trois Es gibt Momente im Leben, die unsere Entscheidungen nachhaltig prägen. Und am Nachmittag, an dem ich meine Frau in ihrem Höschen und ohne BH mit Hachiko im Bett spielen sah, wusste ich, dass ich meinem Dasein eine Wende geben musste. Ausgehend von diesem Bild, das die Wirklichkeit viel besser beschreibt, als es viele Worte jemals tun können, beschloss ich, folgende Geschichte zu schreiben, die ich nun ausführlich erzählen werde. Bevor ich aber beginne, möchte ich noch klarstellen, dass Hachiko das Hündchen ist, das meine Frau und ich schon vor einiger Zeit zu uns genommen haben und seither mit seiner kecken Art die mütterliche und väterliche Leere in unseren Herzen gefüllt hat. Ohne ihn hätte dieses existenzielle schwarze Loch unserer ohnehin schon abgekühlten Ehe, in der gemeinsame Ziele fehlten, schon lange den Gnadenstoß gegeben. Hachiko ist nicht irgendein Hund, der so von heute auf morgen in unser Leben gekommen ist. Es ist ein sehr besonderes Wesen, das sich unsere Liebe nach und nach durch sein echtes Interesse für unsere Probleme errungen hat. Mit ihm kann man über alles Mögliche sprechen, ohne dass er je ungeduldig wird. Manchmal wedelt er mit dem Schwanz oder wackelt mit den Ohren, um zu zeigen, dass er mit dem Gesagten einverstanden ist, oder er schaut uns mit Augen voller Mitgefühl an, das ich bisher in keinem menschlichen Auge gesehen habe. Usw Hay momentos en la vida que dejan una huella duradera en nuestras decisiones. Y la tarde en que vi a mi mujer jugando con Hachiko en la cama, en bragas y sin sujetador, supe que tenía que darle un giro a mi existencia. A partir de esta imagen, que describe la realidad mucho mejor de lo que pueden hacerlo muchas palabras, decidí escribir la siguiente historia, que paso a contar con todo detalle.Antes de empezar, sin embargo, me gustaría aclarar que Hachiko es el cachorro que mi mujer y yo acogimos hace algún tiempo y que, desde entonces, ha llenado con su alegre naturaleza el vacío materno y paterno de nuestros corazones. Sin él, este agujero existencial habría dado hace tiempo el golpe de gracia a nuestro ya de por sí frío matrimonio, carente de objetivos comunes. Hachiko no es un perro cualquiera que llegó a nuestras vidas de la noche a la mañana. Es una criatura muy especial que se ha ido ganando nuestro cariño gracias a su genuino interés por nuestros problemas. Puedes hablar con él de cualquier cosa sin que se impaciente. A veces mueve la cola o las orejas para mostrar que está de acuerdo con lo que se dice, o nos mira con unos ojos llenos de una compasión que nunca he visto en ningún ojo humano. Continúa........... Il y a des moments dans la vie qui laissent une empreinte durable sur nos décisions. Et l'après-midi où j'ai vu ma femme jouer avec Hachiko sur le lit, en culotte et sans soutien-gorge, j'ai su que je devais donner un tournant à mon existence. À partir de cette image, qui décrit la réalité bien mieux que ne le pourraient de nombreuses paroles, j'ai décidé d'écrire l'histoire suivante, que je vais vous raconter en détail. Avant de commencer, cependant, j'aimerais préciser que Hachiko est le chiot que ma femme et moi avons accueilli il y a quelque temps et qui, depuis lors, a comblé le vide maternel et paternel de nos cœurs avec sa nature joyeuse. Sans lui, ce trou noir existentiel aurait depuis longtemps porté un coup fatal à notre mariage déjà froid, dépourvu d'objectifs communs. Hachiko n'est pas un chien ordinaire qui est arrivé dans nos vies du jour au lendemain. C'est une créature très spéciale qui a gagné notre affection grâce à son véritable intérêt pour nos problèmes. Vous pouvez parler de tout avec lui sans qu'il s'impatiente. Parfois, il remue la queue ou les oreilles pour montrer qu'il est d'accord avec ce qui est dit, ou il nous regarde avec des yeux emplis d'une compassion que je n'ai jamais vue dans aucun œil humain. Un livre de contes avec beaucoup humor en 3 langues. François, Allemand et Espagnol. Prologue de ChatGPT www.manuelgiron.ch

FictionApril 2017Los pecados de Victoria
by Giovanna Zuluaga
My knees were shaking so I collapsed face down on the rug, feeling its texture and a distant smell of lavender. I moved with his urgent pace, in a perfect and harmonious copulation, until we came almost at the same time. We remained silent, while our breath calmed down, his chest on my back, all his skin adhered to mine. [...] Victoria is not the ideal protagonist of a book, because she is far from being the perfect, virginal and innocent woman who abounds in contemporary stories. She has a love-hate relationship with sex and with men, as well as a vulnerable and masochistic personality. Classified by its author as a "dramatic erotic" book, "Victoria's Sins" is a story based on real events, it is told in first person, intimate, personal, sometimes exciting, because of the stories it narrates, and other times sad, because of the situations that the protagonist must confront in her desperate search for happiness.

What Would the Pope Say?
by Jaime Larrain
Pope Francis is at a crossroads. The Catholic Church, still reeling from the cases of child abuse and the corruption scandals of the Vatican Bank, has an opportunity for redemption or for a final nail in the coffin, after the Pope’s closes advisor, Cardinal Bullbridge, is kidnapped. While the Pope ponders the destiny of the Church, Aum, the leader of the Chrysallis Team that in 2016 kidnapped business moghul Brian Feller, has set for himself the tremendous challenge of gathering the most important religious leaders of the world so they can witness The Experiment, a mysterious process that could breathe new life into the Catholic Faith. The Experiment was born in the island of Ithaca in 2010, thanks to the work of Aum and Father Thomas, the guardian of the Vatican´s secret files. The motivations of Aum and Thomas are not merely academic, there’s a much larger political agenda at play. Being 86 years of age, and with a very sick son, Aum rolls the dice and brings together the Dalai Lama, Pope Francis, historian Yuval Harari, philosopher Michael Onfray, and many others. But Cardinal Bullbridge wants to put an end to his, which he sees as a threat to the Papacy. And Commissioner Scorza, Vatican Chief of Security, is trying to solve the riddle while also dealing with some scandals of his own making. What Would the Pope Say? Is not just a history of the Vatican, it is the history of an ancient dream that can now become reality, a dream we all carry inside: a spirituality that goes beyond religions, and that is one and universal.
