        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.

        Escrituras, lengua y cultura en el antiguo Egipto

        by Josep Cervelló Autuori

        Parte importantísima de la fascinación que los antiguos egipcios ejercen sobre nuestra cultura se debe al poderoso atractivo de su lengua y sus sistemas de escritura, inseparables de la aventura humana de su desciframiento, que permitió entender lo que unos signos tenazmente trazados en muros, papiros y objetos revelaban acerca de una de las primeras grandes civilizaciones de la historia. Este libro es una aproximación a la lengua y las escrituras egipcias desde una perspectiva cultural: la evolución de la lengua, su descripción gramatical y fonológica, los principales testimonios literarios y documentales, las características de los distintos sistemas de escritura y, en especial, de los jeroglíficos, la historia del proceso que llevó a su desciframiento, sin olvidar cuestiones fundamentales sobre su origen. La mirada se expande más allá del valle del Nilo, al considerar también la influencia de las escrituras egipcias en otras culturas, influencia cuyo resultado más visible son nuestras propias letras alfabéticas, que derivan en última instancia de una selección de jeroglíficos.

        Sea of stars

        by Laia Aguilar

        Winner of the 2020 Josep Pla Prize.  A group of friends. A house in front of the sea. A sea of stars and an unresolved past.  A group of friends meet five years after a tragic accident in a house in Cap de Creus, an idyllic seaside enclave, with the excuse of seeing a sea of stars.They enjoy the reunion and share secrets, but jealousies also flourish, and an old love story and still-smoldering sentiments unearth an issue from the past that remains unresolved.None of them can imagine how the night will end. A night that has one more surprise in store.“She couldn’t say if it was because Nis had asked her or because she had let herself be dragged along. But she had come. It was two weeks ago. With two suitcases and an uncertain future, following the steps of the man who had seduced her. ‘We’ll be happy there, Olivia, we’ll be good. Trust me,’ Nis had repeated into her ear.”

        La resistencia íntima

        by Josep Maria Esquirol

        La resistencia íntima is a percipient, profound essay on the human condition. Esquirol reveals how proper care of oneself gives light and warmth to those around us, protecting them and showing the way ahead. «We recognise that intimate resistance is what we call an experience belonging to the region of proximity; a region that is not visited in a day, but where one tends to stay. Yet today it is hard to remain there. Proximity is not measured in metres or centimetres. Its opposite is not distance but, rather, the ubiquitous monochrome of a world in thrall to technology. We have seen how everyday matters, and what is communicated by a home are extremely important modes of the experience of proximity».

        Cómo contar la realidad con las armas de la literatura

        by Roberto Herrscher

        Periodismo narrativo es a la vez un manual acerca de cómo escribir sobre hechos ciertos usando estructuras y estrategias narrativas propias de la literatura, y un ensayo sobre algunos de los principales autores del género, cuyos escritos se analizan para aportar definiciones, recomendaciones, lecciones y ejemplos de las herramientas que emplearon. Ahondando en la vida y la obra de una veintena de cronistas o periodistas narrativos, norteamericanos (Truman Capote, Joseph Mitchell, John Hersey), europeos (Oriana Fallaci, Josep Pla, Ryszard Kapuscinski) y latinoamericanos (Gabriel García Márquez, Tomás Eloy Martínez, Rodolfo Walsh), se extraen abundantes ejemplos y consejos prácticos. Así, el presente libro ofrece un mapa de los desafíos, los caminos y las posibilidades del periodismo narrativo, que servirá tanto a los periodistas y estudiantes de periodismo como a los lectores interesados en la literatura de no ficción para adentrarse en este apasionante género.

        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.

        I will follow in your footsteps

        by Care Santos

        By the author of Half-Life (Nadal Prize 2017), a new novel about family relationships that reflects on the ways a secret from the past can make our future come tumbling down. Reina receives an unexpected call from the mayor of a small village in the Pyrenees. Renovation work on the cemetery has forced them to open up some of the more neglected tombs, among them her father’s. The mayor begs her to do something about his remains and invites her to a solemn ceremony.There is, in addition, a delicate matter he would like to speak to her about, one far from easy to discuss: the discover of another body next to her father’s. Surprised, Reina has no idea who it could be; she knows next to nothing about the man except that he killed himself forty-five years ago, and her mother tried her entire life to conceal it. Against her will, she goes to the village to put things in order.A journey that will take Reina to a tiny town in the heart of Catalonia, but also to a faraway past to the thirtys when her father was a young man in love.
