        Der Spanische Bürgerkrieg

        Eine Bestandsaufnahme

        by Lara Manuel Tuñón, Aróstegui Julio, Viñas Ángel, Cardona Gabriel, Bricall Josep M., Ulrike Liebert, Gerhard Poppenberg, Willi Zurbrüggen, Eva Schikorski, Thomas Maier, Bernhard Lechner

        Der 18. Juli 1936 markiert, mit dem Aufstand des größten Teils der spanischen Armee, den Beginn dessen, was als »Spanischer Bürgerkrieg« in die Geschichte Europas eingehen sollte. Am Ende von dreiunddreißig Monaten militärischer, politischer, sozialer und ideologischer Auseinandersetzung konnte Franco am 1. April 1939 den Sieg der von ihm befehligten Truppen verkünden. Die Ereignisse in diesem Zeitraum (und die Folgen für Spanien und Europa) wurden, wie es angesichts des Sachverhalts nicht anders sein konnte, äußerst kontrovers beurteilt – eine Debatte, die in den dreißiger Jahren sehr heftig geführt wurde und gegenwärtig keineswegs beendet ist. Angesichts dieser politischen, wissenschaftlichen und publizistischen Situation ist das Unterfangen, das führende spanische Historiker unter der Leitung Manuel Tuñón de Laras verwirklicht haben, kaum hoch genug einzuschätzen: Sie legen eine Bestandsaufnahme dessen vor, was fünfzig Jahre nach Beginn des Putsches und mehr als zehn Jahre nach Francos Tod über den Spanischen Bürgerkrieg an historischem Wissen eruierbar ist. Diesen Anspruch, Umfassendes zu ihrem Thema zu sagen, lösen die Autoren ein, indem sie alle Bereiche der damaligen spanischen Gesellschaft untersuchen: von den militärischen Kämpfen bis zu den in deren Verlauf sich ändernden Ideologien, von der sozialen Entwicklung in den Städten und auf dem Land bis zu den Auswirkungen der Interventionen fremder Länder, von den Auseinandersetzungen im republikanischen Lager bis zu der sich herausbildenden Vormachtstellung Francos. Diese detaillierten Studien sind immer eingebunden in die Fragestellung: Welche Fakten, welche Abläufe, welche Interpretationen des Spanischen Bürgerkriegs können nach strenger objektiver Prüfung ins historische Gedächtnis der Spanier und Europäer aufgenommen werden? Diese Gesamtschau vermittelt somit ein genaueres Bild dessen, wie die Spanier heute, nach der Wiederherstellung der Demokratie, den Bürgerkrieg sehen; und zugleich bietet sich den Deut

        Loquat

        Botany, Production and Uses

        by Sisir Mitra, A Aytekin Polat, Manuel Agustí, Josep Armengol, Maria Luisa Badenes, Manuel Blasco, Julián Cuevas González, Vittorio Farina, Elisa González-Dominguez, Qigao Guo, Liang Guolu, Juan José Hueso, Yuanyuan Jiang, Francisco Legaz, Hailan Lin, Shoukai Lin, Dahe Lin, Shunquan Lin, Shiwei Ma, Belén Martínez-Alcántara, Amparo Martínez-Fuentes, Carlos Mesejo, Julia Morales, Ana Quiñones, Carmina Reig, Esteban Soler, Jincheng Wu, Bisha Wu, Xianghui Yang, Peng Ze, Lifen Zhang

        Loquat (Eriobotrya japonica Lindl.) is a subtropical evergreen fruit tree indigenous to China. Records show it has been cultivated in China for over 2000 years. From this beginning, loquat has spread to more than 30 countries around the world. Grown in various regions of Asia, the Mediterranean and across the Americas, loquats suit both temperate and subtropical areas, sharing the same environmental conditions as citrus. Loquat is an increasingly commercial crop in some Asian and European countries with a good amount of international trade. Recent research has focused on improving crop yields and quality. Over 100 different varieties have been developed to meet both growers' and consumers' demands. These developments have contributed to a better understanding of the crop environment, plant growth and physiology of tree and fruit development with implications for both breeding and cultivation. This book is to be the first to provide a comprehensive coverage of the history, physiology, culture and marketing of loquat throughout the world.

        Dime dónde, en que país

        by Marco Antonio Campos, Círculo de Poesía, Círculo de Poesía, Círculo de Poesía, Círculo de Poesía

        Agrega Marco Antonio Campos a su ya extensa, personalisima y sorprendente obra de poeta, de crítico, de traductor, de cronista, de historiador y estudioso de la literatura mexicana y de otras, este libro ejemplar que él titula Dime Dónde, en qué país (una línea que toma de Villon) y que ha compuesto, como dice, con poemas en prosa y una fábula. El libro es bello y complejo, en su aparente sencillez, pero intrincado contexto de referencias, alusiones literarias, históricas y artísticas y es en efecto, tanto verdadera poesía, como la que ha logrado consumar en su lírica de autor, pero es al mismo tiempo una colección deslumbradora de visiones, de crónicas de viaje por el mundo entero, de paisajes urbanos, amores consumados y no, mares, ríos, montañas, galerías pictóricas, encuentros con autores legendarios o nacidos ayer, barrios paupérrimos, aventuras en tren y al mismo timpo, profundas y conmovedoras inscursiones de la propia biografía, en el alma y en la memoria familiar. De algún modo, este conjunto de Marco Antonio, me hace pensar en el libro admirable y perfecto de otro ilustre visionario, viajero, cronista y autobiógrafo emponente: el grande y prolijo catalán Josep Pla, autor de los diarios voluntariamente imperfectos e invaluables de su Cuaderna gris, que no ha sido posible terminar de imprimir.

      • Planetary Humanity

        by Marc Augé, Josep Maria Montaner

        This dialogue takes place at the confluence of anthropology with urbanism, philosophy and architecture, education and ecology, from the awareness that the planet is a common good. Augé and Montaner start from the dialectic between the concepts of place and non-place and unravel phenomena such as the influence of the technology in everyday life (Uber) and the illusion of the new false familiarity (Airbnb); they interpret situations and effects such as migratory processes; they explain difficulties and fears, such as rejection of others and  movements; and they propose alternatives, such as the utopia of education, new municipalisms or recognition of otherness.

        by David García Cames, Miguel Ángel Ortiz and Marcel Beltran

        Football breaks down all doors, including those of literature. Contrary to popular belief, there are many writers who at some point were attracted by the mystery of the goal or the fervor of the stands. The ball sneaks into the work and life of authors who have built bridges between these two apparently dissociated worlds. From Marguerite Duras to Eduardo Galeano, passing through Albert Camus, Roberto Bolaño, Svetlana Aleksiévich or Federico García Lorca. This book is 90 games that were played one day. This book is made up of 90 stories, halfway between the chronicle and the tale, with which tribute is paid to 90 extraordinary creators who have influenced our way of understanding football.
