Literature & Literary Studies2021Surmise winds
by Sergio Mansilla
This notable collection of poems in prose or poetic prose, composed in multiple lyrical layers, modernizes the problem of the violence that originated the cultural construction of America. Through a precise selection of practices, events and characters, as well as a surprising sensibility and literary culture, in "Surmise winds", Sergio Mansilla proposes an aesthetic story, more than about a period, about a facet of universal history, from sacrificial rites to the great wars and conflicts of the 20th century.

December 2008Zurück nach Lanús
Roman
by Sergio Olguín, Matthias Strobel
In Lanús, einem Vorort von Buenos Aires, wird der junge Francisco erschossen – angeblich bei einem Überfall auf einen Kiosk. Doch weder seiner Familie noch seinen Freunden scheint daran zu liegen, die Wahrheit über den Mord herauszufinden. Nur Adrián, der letzte, den Francisco vor seinem Tod angerufen hat, will Klarheit: Dafür kehrt er zum erstenmal nach vielen Jahren zurück nach Lanús, dem Ort seiner Kindheit, und gerät in einen Strudel aus Ereignissen, die immer mehr zum Krimi werden. Spannend und vielschichtig erzählt Sergio Olguín, der Autor des Romans Die Traummannschaft, von einem Verbrechen, das nur die Spitze des Eisberges ist, von schmutzigen Deals, korrupten Polizisten und von Jugendfreunden, die nicht immer das sind, was sie zu sein vorgeben.

February 2006Die Traummannschaft
Roman
by Sergio Olguín, Matthias Strobel
Argentinien im Hochsommer: Dem 14jährigen Ariel, der am liebsten Fußball spielt und neben der Schule im Laden seines Onkels jobbt, stehen heiße Tage bevor, denn er ist unsterblich verliebt. Die Angebetete, Patricia, kommt aus einem ärmlichen Stadtviertel, das Ariel bisher ängstlich gemieden hat. Sein Mut ist jedoch gefordert, als das Ungeheuerliche geschieht: Eine Bande Krimineller klaut den größten Schatz, den Patricias Vater besitzt: Diego Maradonas ersten Fußball. Ariel und seine Freunde beschließen, den Ball zurückzuholen – zum ersten Mal verlassen sie ihre behütete Welt und stürzen sich in ein lebensbedrohliches Abenteuer. Mit tiefgründigem Witz und charmanter Leichtigkeit erzählt Sergio Olguín vom Zauber der ersten Liebe, von Freundschaft in allen Lebenslagen und von Fußballtoren, die besser nicht geschossen worden wären.

January 2025Claudina. Theater, love, and revolution in the nitrate pampas
by Sergio González Miranda
Claudina is both a protagonist and a privileged witness to that world in which workers edited and wrote newspapers and women workers organized plays, to be distributed and performed in every corner of the desert and beyond. Workers who could not conceive of education and culture divorced from the transformation of the system that, in the first instance, placed them in a position of social subordination, but not of passivity. This novel represents for us the same thing that Claudina's plays represented a hundred years ago. It is the possibility of living, even if only for the hours it takes to read, in a world different from the one we face every day. A world, we insist, no less unjust than the current one, but more hopeful, one that allowed a young woman who arrived on a conscript boat from the south to become, in addition to the mother of the people of Tarapacá, the socialist muse of the people of the north.

October 2008Erinnerungen an die Unterentwicklung
Roman
by Edmundo Desnoes, Gisbert Haefs, Edmundo Desnoes
»Alle, die mich geliebt und bis zur letzten Minute genervt haben, sind fort. Zuerst wollte ich abhauen, sobald ich die Alte geküßt hatte – Laura mochte mir nicht einmal die Hand geben –, aber dann beschloß ich, auf die Aussichtsterrasse zu gehen und bis zum Schluß zu bleiben. Das Flugzeug setzte sich träge in Bewegung und röhrte über die Piste; danach verlor es sich leise in der Luft.« So beginnt der wohl ungewöhnlichste Roman aus Kuba nach der Revolution: als Selbstbehauptung radikaler Einsamkeit. Der Erzähler Sergio ist nach Castros Sieg im Land geblieben, obwohl das Möbelgeschäft seiner Eltern enteignet wurde und die gesamte Familie die Insel in Richtung USA verlassen hat. Mit den Augen des Fremdgewordenen registriert er die Veränderungen bei sich und den anderen, und wie am lebenden Objekt seziert er seine Frauenbeziehungen. Edmundo Desnoes gelingt in diesen nur halbfiktiven Aufzeichnungen das Unerhörte: Ambivalenz, wo Standpunkt gefordert wird.

Agriculture & farmingJanuary 2010Underutilized and Underexploited Horticultural Crops: Vol 05
by K.V. Peter
"Globally there is concern for diminishing nutritional security. Land under agriculture is dwindling, water for irrigation becoming scarce and costly and availability of labour getting lesser, the need for future crops and alternate source of nutrition is getting attention. Under CGIAR, an all inclusive future crops international has been established to bring to light underexploited and underutilized crops. Horticultural crops especially vegetables, fruits, ornamentals, medicinal plants and aromatic plants are unique in presence of a large number of plants with possibility for edible uses and considerable nutritive value. Many are wild weeds in one part of the globe but edible and consumed in another part of the globe. A few such plants are used for phytosanitation and phytoremediation but are getting attention as raw materials for biofuel production. Energy and water are two natural resources getting threat due to climate change resulting global warming and ozone depletion."
