Literature & Literary StudiesProfesor Sísifo
by Álex Saldías
Un profesor recién egresado inicia un patético y revelador camino al enfrentarse por primera vez a alumnos desinteresados y a un sistema sin interés por educarlos. Sus ilusiones como docente, la responsabilidad con los estudiantes, su creatividad artística, las posibilidades económicas o sociales son las piedras que empuja durante el año escolar. La fatalidad no está en el peso de esas rocas, sino en la montaña que hace imposible ascender. La inutilidad del esfuerzo humano dentro de un sistema educacional injusto trata de cobrar algún sentido en el caos de esta novela de prosa recursiva y ágil, pero atomizada en guías de aprendizaje, currículums de vida y autoevaluaciones pedagógicas que no tienen una verdadera razón de ser.

October 1997Cara o Sello
by Mario Salazar Montero
Kurzinformation ISBN 978-3-9525331-3-0 Titel “Cara o Sello”. Mario Salazar Montero. Cuentos Cualquiera que sea la forma permitida, obligada o seleccionada por hombres y mujeres como el recurso personal válido disponible para dejar atrás el estigma de una pobreza, heredada o impuesta, esta implica una interacción con una realidad en tiempo presente. En esa realidad suramericana, con sus circunstancias inherentes, existe sin embargo una gama bien diversa, tanto de víctimas como de abusadores. El afán de algunos por equilibrar un déficit de bienestar económico recurriendo al crimen no siempre encuentra la mansedumbre de los abusados. Existe la ley tácita del desquite, a falta de una justicia que merezca su nombre. Estos cuentos intentan desentrañar la esencia de algunos desquites y despojos, sin ánimo de definir estereotipos. De eso ya hay bastante, es difícil quitarselos de encima y no sirven más. 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

July 2015Quiero ser artista
by Pablo Ottonello
Nothing is known beforehand of these blind, halftruths distributed in “Kovacic,” nor of the apparent lack of turbulence that imprints “Founding a sex” with a kind of backdrop scenery, or of the speck of flour or talcum powder that confines “Buy cream” to a whiteness that plays on two points, from the hinting glimpse to the concluding sentence with experimentation and innocence. Quiero ser artista changes from a yearning and methodical aspiration into a tautological confession: Literature is the best possible means for such things to happen.

History of Western philosophyKant and His Heirs
An Introduction to the History of Western Philosophy
by Miguel García-Baró
Each generation has the obligation to tell the history of philosophy. It is not only a moral responsibility toward the past, but also a commitment to the future. By stressing some authors and some ideas over others, in the end we are pointing to the certitudes that uphold and justify the way we see reality and act upon it. After the first volume, centered on ancient and medieval philosophy, and the second one, consecrated to the Modern Era, this original history of thought concludes with the volume dealing with the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Kant and his philosophy mark the beginning of a new stage that extends to our own time. Different trends have appeared during this stage: idealism, pragmatism, existentialism, phenomenology, analytical philosophy or hermeneutics… and they have shaped today’s reflection.

PhilosophyAnthropology of Christian Vocation
From Person to Person
by Juan Manuel Cabiedas
The question regarding how to guide one’s own life is among the most pressing and serious questions. Both in its sacred understanding, as referring to a trascendent call, and in its lay conception, that connects the feeling of happiness to one’s self-fulfillment, the word vocation expresses the right way that a person follows to succesfully lead his or her own life. This may be the reason why, when talking about vocation, the word echoes all the elements that make up the identity of the human being: corporeity and spirituality, intelligence and sensitivity, conscience and freedom, personal biography and collective history. Without vocation, the personal being is doomed to treat oneself and to be treated with indifference.

FictionMarch 2020Night and ocean
by Raquel Taranilla
Winner of the 2020 Biblioteca Breve Prize.Bea Silva is shocked when she comes across an article in the newspaper that says someone has stolen the embalmed skull of the legendary silent film director F.W. Murnau. What’s most surprising is that Bea is convinced she knows who the thief is: Quirós, an underemployed filmmaker who one day showed up at her enormous ramshackle house.At almost thirty-two, Beatriz is a somewhat aloof college professor, weary of life and almost pathologically erudite. The arrival of Quirós brings out her lucid, hyperactive side and sets her up for a wildly unhinged fall.

Moral & social purpose of educationApril 2021Lambs that bark
To reimagine education from the experience of a teacher who never knew how to advance adequately.
by Juan Izuzkiza
Juan Izuzkiza is a Philosophy teacher from the Basque Country who reflects with irony, a warrior spirit and love for his students on the dependency of current school curricula. Why are the students bored? Why do teachers assume a role of victims? What role do parents play in all of this? The high school anecdotes that reflect the ineffectiveness of prescribed norms outside of reality give rise to reflections on the true spirit of teaching. Do we want standard students or to help our children have a future? The thought references used by Juan Luis Izuzkiza range from ancient Greek philosophers to current philosophers, intellectuals from our country or psychologists. With them we can rethink the relationships between parents and children, students and teachers, school and society in short. Nine short chapters to enjoy an entry into reality. There are quite a few impotent and upset parents at work, dreading the phone call. (“ *Your son got up without permission at 10:09. ”Message received at 10:17). There are many children who are upset knowing they are constantly being watched. There are a lot of upset teachers because everyone is upset. *Fragment of the chapter entitled "Bichos haciendo gestos raros" ("Bugs making strange gestures")
