        Natural Journey

        An encounter between Arts and Science

        by Josefina Hepp, Vivian Lavin, María José Arce

        “Natural Journey” aims to remove the old-fashioned tension between art and science in order to approach nature’s shapes and colors with astonishment and without being distracted from the main task: to learn from it and listen to its call in the midst of the climate crisis.  Botanical illustration is the art that allows us to enter the world of plants through our senses. But it is also a scientific record that provides botanists and scholars with subtle and precise representations that no technological device can reproduce.  A botanist, an illustrator and a journalist are touched by the journey led by other women who inspired them with their environmental sensitivity and awareness. When reading “Natural Journey”, you will be taken into a pleasant walk through six types of plants whose names take after their identifying characteristics. “Travelers”, some inspire and others move (without legs or wings), “dangerous”, even lethal, colors and characteristics that define them, “deceitful”, traps and camouflages to get what they want, “rebels”, those who dodge the rules, undisciplined, stubborn and defiant, and  “hungry” from the Plant to the Animal Kingdom,  nutrient-capture strategies, “flamboyant”, as emerged from delirium. The book also contains each plant’s data sheet and mapping.

        LAS ESCRITORAS ESPAÑOLAS DE LA EDAD MODERNA. HISTORIA Y GUÍA PARA LA INVESTIGACIÓN.

        by BARANDA LETURIO, Nieves; CRUZ, Anne J.

        Aunque ignoradas en las historias literarias y culturales, durante los siglos XVI y XVII existieron en España decenas de mujeres que buscaron un espacio en el territorio de las letras. Después de más de treinta años de estudios especializados durante los cuales se han exhumado innumerables documentos y se han desarrollado y probado metodologías específicas para entender a las escritoras como mujeres integradas en su tiempo, es posible llegar a producir un libro como este. Esta historia y guía de investigación representa un avance radical en el conocimiento de las escritoras del Siglo de Oro, porque recoge los resultados más relevantes y los utiliza para configurar un panorama en el que la literatura escrita por las mujeres se plantea, por fin, bajo unos perfiles específicos. Se prescinde de la historia de las individualidades para mostrar en qué medida las escritoras dialogaron con su entorno y modularon los temas, los géneros o la retórica para responder a sus necesidades expresivas.

        The Girl and The Little Fish

        by Gabriela Mistral, Alberto Montt

        On a February night in 1938, Gabriela Mistral was visiting writer Emilio Oribe in Uruguay when, suddenly, his little daughter burst into the room carrying a precious hidden treasure: a little fish. Esther, the girl's name, had found it by the rocks near her house, in Montevideo. The next day, inspired by what had happened, Gabriela gave Oribe this poem as a gift. Ten years later, "The Girl and The Little Fish" was published in the Chilean newspaper La Nación as an unpublished poem, which version has been recovered by Escrito con Tiza in an edition with beautiful illustrations by of the most awarded Chilean artists, Alberto Montt.

        Andares de un Artista: Poemas y Arte

        Poemas y Arte

        by Ann A. Guerra

        Andares de un Artista no es un libro comun.  Es una caminata a traves de las calles de la experiencia.  Calles que a veces han sido crueles e implacables; otras, frivolas e indiferentes.  Ausencias de amores, de todo.  Desavenencias que han producido un profundo dolor humano, y que han hecho brechas, dejando profundas cicatrices.  Pero tambien esas mismas calles sirvieron de escenarios para los dramas que alli se desarrollaron, impactamdo profundamente mi sentir.  Dando paso a la inspiracion que, dio forma y vida a mis poemas y lienzos.  Por ultimo, tocando las fibras mas sensibles del alma romantica y algo aventurera del poeta que vive en mi.

        Adiós, pequeño (Goodbye, little one)

        by Máximo Huerta

        FERNANDO LARA PRIZE 2022 My mother would have been happier if I had never been born. That’s the simple truth about my life. The plot and the ending of this novel don’t really matter. Accepting the circumstances of the story is the only sedative that allows me to write. The only thing I’m afraid of is the end. The only purpose of this sermon of mine, of all these words, of the constant pain and the feigned happiness, is to delay my inexorable arrival at that point, like watching a train make its way down the mountain, disappearing into tunnels that were dug a century ago. “Should I write?” I ask myself. “Write and, once you’ve finished, don’t go back. Say goodbye.” With this brave, intimate account, the author reconstructs a childhood in which everyone – grandparents, parents and children – has been silent for too long. Adiós, pequeño is the story of a family trying to be happy despite everything.
