        EL CAMPO DE FRAU GRUBER

        by Ted Barr

        EL CAMPO DE FRAU GRUBER El manifiesto de las cenizas del gallo, de Ted Barr   ?Cuáles son los límites del mal? ?Qué significado tiene la vida, a un paso de una muerte súbita arbitraria? ?Vale la pena vivir detrás de una cerca eléctrica? El Campo de Frau Gruber es una alegoría apasionante acerca de la fe humana en sus momentos más oscuros, que recuerda mucho la obra maestra de George Orwell, Rebelión en la granja.Un mundo que sostiene a gente como Frau Gruber, Herr Schickl y sus insanos asociados no es el mundo en el que vivimos. Aunque en muchos aspectos parece ser similar, es más bien un universo paralelo, desconectado de la realidad que conocemos.No obstante, a veces el lector puede no prestar atención a las diferencias. En esta novela sorprendente y enigmática, el lector se ve sutil y lentamente sumergido en un microcosmos imaginario, un mundo fantástico a la vez poético y terrible, a veces conmovedor y otras horrendo, en el que la vida no es más que una mercancía sin valor.Los gallos como seres humanos son solo actores momentáneos en una obra mucho más grande, o sea demasiado miopes para entender —con la excepción del viejo gallo Ba Ba Lup, que, como los antiguos profetas, tiene ojos para ver pero no tiene el poder para cambiar.La única manera de otorgar un significado a tiempos tan terribles es guardarlo todo en la memoria, que es el marco en el que esta novela se basa:la fe humana, el olvido, el recuerdo y la esencia de la vida durante una época imposible. A pesar de partir de una descripción mayormente improvisada de la infancia de Adolf Hitler, el Campo de Frau Gruber no se limita a relatar una historia en muchos sentidos paralela a la historia de los judíos en Europa. Antes bien, evoluciona hasta transformarse en una fábula sobre el aspecto general de la experiencia humana en el siglo XX, escrita a través de los ojos de un espectador del siglo XXI, como un acto de bravura contemporáneo. El autor, Ted Barr, de 54 años, posee una maestría en Economía y tiene diversas áreas de interés, entre otras, historia alemana, simbolismo, tácticas de batallón y de división y astronomía.Barr es un afamado artista, que se especializa en galaxias y otros elementos celestiales.El autor ha desarrollado una técnica de pintura única, que enseña en talleres en todo el mundo.También es el fundador del Current Art Group y en el sitio de arte www.tedpaintings.com se puede ver el fruto de su actividad artística.   En 2006 se publicó por vez primera en Israel una versión hebrea de El Campo deFrau Gruber, tras la primera obra de Barr, Krombee, un libro para niños publicado en 1990.

        He Was Your Father

        by Alessandro Gallo

        “When I was 15, I found out who my father really was reading about him in a newspaper, and I realized that I had a choice in front of me: to follow his steps and mark my role inside his circle, or to show that I belonged to my mother’s world – a clean and pure way of life, full of sacrifices; a different legacy. And that’s what I decided to do.” This is how Gallo describes his upbringing, and the fates of his characters are inevitably similar to his own life. This is the story of a father – a well-known member of the Camorra – and his three children, all forced to make a choice that will shape their lives forever: to be or not to be a part of the family kingdom. The sons, Giusuè and Alberto, have no doubt in mind: they want to fill their father’ shoes and rule a criminal empire of drugs, illegal traffic and enterprises stretched all over the Country. But the daughter, Camilla, is torn between the love for her family and a voice within that tells her to be different and claim another life. All she can do is try and find the strength to achieve what seems to be impossible. But there is a big price to pay for this kind of freedom…

        Las chicas no lloran

        by Olivia Gallo

        In the courageous and melancholic vein of Milena Busquets or the sensual insouciance of Miranda July, these stories dissect the rawness and horror of love and the violence of its contradictions: Those dark passages like those on a ghost train where mothers, fathers, and children wander. Characters who, in order to grow up, embrace uncertainty and disillusionment.  Like a young sage, irreproachable and pious, sharp and delicate, Olivia Gallo tells what happened yesterday with distance. She pushes away the past, twists it, stretches it, tastes it like sour candy, allows for emotion or annoyance, but never enough to cry. Never that much.  Magalí Etchebarne

        The Queen’s Jeweler

        by Nieves Herrero

        A great novel about the jewels of the queens of Spain that marked the dramatic life of Victoria Eugenia and, a century later, are worn by Doña Letizia. Jewels are not only faithful custodians of the passage of time, but also hold the great secrets of love and heart-breaks of those who have worn them. Queens have worn them as amulets and also as signs of power. These pages present a different and original vision of Victoria Eugenia de Battemberg, the last Spanish queen before the Second Republic. She came from England to Spain in 1906 to marry Alfonso XIII, bringing a new air to the Court and arousing much criticism for what were considered transgressions. Her existence was marked by political conspiracies, bombings, disillusionment and exile.While her life was falling apart due to the blood disease that some of her children inherited and the constant infidelities of the king, his jeweler, Ramiro García-Ansorena, taught her the history and life of the queens of Spain through his jewelry. He also made her understand that diamonds, pearls, and precious stones would be her strength and security: "A jewel is the only thing that lasts forever." Her extraordinary necklace of diamonds grew in tandem to the king's lack of love for her, as he kept buying her jewels to buy her forgiveness.

        And they say

        by Susana Sánchez Aríns

        Dicen (And they say) is a family story crossed by Franco's repression.   It tells what is not registered in notarial acts, or in newspapers, or in books, or in provincial archives. It tells a story of a day-to-day silence that became long, very long, and that has conditioned us until now.   Dicen tells real events in a network of voices silenced for generations, it is not written from the political reflection, but from the poetic justice, it is the contemporary account of the Spanish postwar period.   Dicen is an innovative book. It is not poetry, it is not an essay, it is not a short narrative and it is everything at the same time. Written in short sequences, it collects the intimate memory of a family and reconstructs their insignificant lives to show the terror of repression after the civil war. Conversations, poems, stories, essay references, fragmented sequences that the reader orders in a shocking story.   The narration drags the reader to the end by the rhythm, the different voices, the authenticity and the gradual understanding of why that time is silenced.   The author speaks of poetic justice as a way of giving life to those who did not want to be named after their death: the oppressors. This story recovers their names, their ways of acting, their personalities, their power. And it also brings back to life those who died in the ditches or lived marginalized: the victims.   It is very difficult to make historical memory from politics, however, literature is its natural space. An original work, with enormous expressive force and a unique point of view discovered by Susana Sánchez Aríns, an experienced, committed voice.   The book has received the Madrid Booksellers Award for Best Fiction Book 2019. (Premio de los Libreros de Madrid al Mejor Libro de Ficción)
