        El arte un espejo del pensamiento

        A propósito del Mal, la Creación y un poco más.

        by Asbel Hernández

        In her text, Asbel Hernández gives testimony of the trilogy that gathers Evil with Beauty and of course, with Horror. She takes a decisive step further when she manages, with a singular rhetorical device, to rewrite the issue at stake. Hernández writes from her own angle, what is often called style, to combine quotation and the manipulation (in its best sense) of the quotation. But she also does not hesitate to summon Jean Genet, who appears as the figurehead that she carries forward for the eyes of others, those others who are the readers led by the author.

      • Ensayo sobre la escritura

        by Rodrigo Garnica

        In the craft of writing, sooner or later, there comes a moment when you the method itself comes under question for its impetus for being: Why write fiction? For pleasure, out of a pressing necessity, as a method for your thoughts to transcend mere ideas or, perhaps, just due simply to vocation. The're many more questions such as this that arise from this line of reasoning; Is it possible to learn to write just from the act itself? What secrets are there to produce good fiction? How does it all come into being as a proper novel?Rodrigo Garnica takes it upon himself to tackle these questions and more through original reflections on the pilosophy of Sartre, Camus and Heidegger, while also going through the ideas dealt in great works of literature from masters such as Flaubert, Kafka and Becket. Ensayo sobre la escritura (Essay on Writing) is a testimonial for the pure passion that is invoked by literature in its many forms and shapes, one that invites other creators that have taken pen to paper to also remember that first and foremost we are all readers before writing and everytime we create we stand on the shoulders of the giants that came before us as we bring forth our own vision into the world in the written form.

      • Te comeré el corazón

        by Asbel Hernández

        Una vez más, Asbel Hernández me toma por sorpresa. Leo sus historias y es inevitable sentir su aspereza y su enorme fuerza narrativa. Es una literatura cruel. Una prosa despiadada que es capaz de colocar en la superficie de una letra, de cualquier palabra, de una frase trivial, todo el dolor que acompaña al verdadero amor. Al amor por un hombre, al amor de una madre, al amor de una hija. al hambre de amor. Con su ya conocido estilo provocador, Asbel nos obliga en este libro a replantear nuestro concepto de familia al mostrarnos su compleja fragilidad anclada en el discurso cultural alentando roles que nada tienen que ver con el amor. Asbel desnuda en su literatura a La Maternidad exponiendo sus lealtades y mentiras, las dependencias. Sus demandas nunca satisfechas. Por sus páginas desfilan todas las Medeas y Clitemnestras, todos los destinos posibles enfrentados a las tristes fuerzas de poder que se juegan al interior de la familia. Cierro el libro y pregunto en silencio: ¿Me quieres, mamá? María Esther Núñez

      • Memoria en ruinas

        by Rodrigo Garnica

        “Escucho los sonidos del hospital. Voy despertando. Más allá el silencio. El sonido del silencio, el sonido dela nada, el sonido de la muerte. Me agita la anestesia. Estoy abierto en canal. No siento dolor, pero adivino mis órganos expuestos. Se han ido todos, el cirujano, sus ayudantes, el anestesiólogo. Pasa a mi lado un camillero, me prendo a sus ropas con ambas manos, está a punto de arrastrarme, de tirarme de la cama, acuden varias personas para someterme, lo consiguen, despierto mojado en mi propio sudor. La primera imagen: Isabel frente a mí llora sin dejar de mirarme. Nos miramos, vaciamos nuestros seres.”Un hombre escribe acerca del descubrimiento de su vocación de escritor y entrelaza ese relato con el de otras partes cruciales de su existencia: sus amores, los engaños sufridos, la amenaza del envejecimiento y la aparición de la enfermedad. Concluye algo que todos sabemos: la principal novela a la que podemos aspirar es siempre la que representa nuestra propia vida.

        La certeza de los caminos

        by Daniela Rosset

        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.

        Un muerto en el baúl

        by Ariel Basile

        Juan, un oficinista promedio con una familia promedio, descubrirá una mañana en plenas vacaciones en Mar de Ajó que un hombre yace en el baúl de su auto. La aparente normalidad de su vida quedará amenazada, a punto de desintegrarse, a menos que reaccione pronto. El tiempo se astillará en todas las direcciones. Juan buscará en el pasado las causas que lo dejaron al borde del abismo, con un muerto a cuestas al que apenas vio una vez en su vida y del que deberá deshacerse cuanto antes; en el campo, en el mar o en cualquiera de los pueblos que orillan la ruta. La travesía tendrá nuevos peligros, acaso mayores que los originales, y esos trances ruteros lo llevarán a recordar cada una de las piezas de un rompecabezas que parece condenarlo. En su familia política Juan hallará parte de las respuestas. Su esposa, la hermana melliza y su concuñado Walter han tejido en torno a la figura patriarcal de Alessandro Stampone, un parco abuelo siciliano, una red densa que una vez cerrada le dejará pocas vías de escape. Juan, an average office worker with an average family, will discover one morning during his vacation in Mar de Ajó that a man is lying in the trunk of his car. The apparent normality of his life will be threatened, about to disintegrate, unless he reacts soon. Time will splinter in all directions. Juan will look in the past for the causes that left him on the brink of the abyss, with a dead man on his back that he barely saw once in his life and that he will have to get rid of as soon as possible; in the countryside, in the sea or in any of the towns that border the route. The journey will have new dangers, perhaps greater than the original ones, and those road trances will lead him to remember each one of the pieces of a puzzle that seems to condemn him. In his political family, Juan will find part of the answers. His wife, his twin sister and his brother-in-law Walter have woven around the patriarchal figure of Alessandro Stampone, a laconic Sicilian grandfather, a dense network that once closed will leave him few avenues of escape.

        OCCUPIED AMAZONIA

        by João Farkas

        The more than two hundred photographs featured in the book Occupied Amazonia stem from the concise and keen eye of the photographer João Farkas, who traveled deep into the Amazon region between the 1980s and 1990s to expose the clichés about the Brazilian North rooted in popular imagination. A space of conflicts and convergences, the Amazon region is revealed in multiple facets, ranging from prospectors to natives, missionaries, land-grabbers and migrants. With texts by Paulo Herkenhoff, Ricardo Lessa, Lilia Moritz Schwarcz and Farkas himself, the book is a challenging invitation for those willing to rediscover and explore new old worlds.

        The Bible, from the Beginning to the End

        A Reading Guide for Today

        by Alberto de Mingo Kaminouchi

        No literary work has exerted more influence on Western culture than the Bible. None has been more studied by archaeologists, historians, philologists, anthropologists, philosophers or theologians across the centuries. For anyone interested in this work, true heritage of the world, this book is an indispensable introduction to the main contents and to the discoveries that have been done in recent decades, usually restricted to specialists’ circles. The author offers a vast overview of each one of the books of the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation. Characters, geographical settings, historical events, cultures, literary genres and numberless complementary data help the reader to think about the present in light of a past that has configured the mindset of whole generations. “The author combines a simple, yet rigorous, scientific vision of the problems, with a believing reading and an extraordinary pedagogical ability to reach today’s readers.”
