9 CUENTOS

Autor: Mario Ramón Meneses Ramos

Número de Páginas: 196

Los seres humanos pocas veces estamos contentos con nuestra suerte, la mayoría quisiéramos tener una o mas vidas diferentes. Es en este sentido, que la literatura narrativa, nos da la oportunidad de recrearnos en la vida de otros individuos, reales o imaginados. En estos “9 Cuentos” de diversas temáticas, que Mario Ramón comparte, nos lleva como en los sueños: de un macro a un microcosmos, de un país a otro, utilizando libremente el manejo del tiempo; del presente al pasado y de este al futuro, igualmente de la vida a la muerte y de esta nuevamente a la vida. Cuentos que se acercan y se alejan de la historicidad, para entrar en el mundo de los mitos, de la magia, de la imaginación y de los sueños. Mario R. Meneses. R., (1942) es asiduo asistente a las citas del “jueves por las tardes en la Librería Gandhi” para junto con el grupo de lectura, tener un acercamiento a las grandes obras de la literatura universal.

Dudosa Certidumbre

Autor: Catalina Martínez Estévez

Número de Páginas: 90

La duda es una cualidad humana en la que poco reparamos, y que muchas veces ni siquiera consideramos en la asuncin y percepcin de lo que nos rodea. Lo tangible simplemente existe, aunque slo sea aparentemente. Lo intangible, nuestros sueos, nuestros sentimientos, aparecen como sumergidos, distantes, borrosos, irreales. La Dudosa Certidumbre rompe con esta engaosa rutina. A travs de las diferentes historias que componen esta obra, el lector se sentir atrapado en un mundo que considera imaginado y cuya existencia se le manifestar sorpresivamente bajo un concepto diferente al que ste haba pensado. La existencia de la verdad es remplazada por la certeza de lo incierto. La autora nos enfrenta a esta paradoja que unifica la estructura de cada una de estas breves y fuertemente introspectivas ancdotas.

I Believed In Me

Autor: Ambrocio Magana

Número de Páginas: 164

I was born in a small town that at that time had about 300 inhabitants between children and adults ... I am a simple person, not very happy but not bitter. I am always willing to help those who need it; I do not wait for me to go begging, I offer help. I do not have much education I went to school for a short time. I finished sixth grade until I had 15 years old, but I remember that since I was young I liked to write stories, although I had never had the opportunity to publish them. I hope these stories reach your hearts and I also hope they like you. I want you enjoy them so much that you want to read them all... and other stories more. Remember that reading gives you education and culture. A part of these stories is true. A common occurrence for some people, whether by nature or custom, is to criticize or judge others and, often we do not realize that we make that person, or their family feel bad. Sometimes we can even physically or mentally harm them. Among the stories written here, one is true. It speaks of a little girl who has been criticized since her birth but has had the intelligence to turn criticism into positive energy. She has not stopped to listen to mediocre...

The Cremades Plans

Autor: Javier Cremades Sanz-pastor

My father, Juan Antonio Cremades, first met Saint Josemaria Escrivá when they were fellow-students in the Department of Law at the University of Zaragoza, Spain, from 1925 to 1927. It was there that they made friends. Years later, at a very painful time for the founder of the Opus Dei, when his mother had just died, my father was able to do him a service for which Saint Josemaria was very grateful ever after. And for that reason, the large Cremades family – my parents and all of us ten siblings – enjoyed a very close, direct friendship with him until he went to Heaven. In this book I have collected some of the adventures – really big adventures! – that we had with our father and friend, Saint Josemaria. I have tried to highlight his kindness, the affection and friendly warmth that he scattered (especially on my lucky family), his sanctity, his joy and sense of humor. Also, his closeness to God, and the way he was able to bring all those who crossed his path closer to God.

Cartucho and My Mother's Hands

Autor: Nellie Campobello

Número de Páginas: 144

Nellie Campobello, a prominent Mexican writer and "novelist of the Revolution," played an important role in Mexico's cultural renaissance in the 1920s and early 1930s, along with such writers as Rafael Muñoz and Gregorio López y Fuentes and artists Diego Rivera, Orozco, and others. Her two novellas, Cartucho (first published in 1931) and My Mother's Hands (first published as Las manos de Mamá in 1938), are autobiographical evocations of a childhood spent amidst the violence and turmoil of the Revolution in Mexico. Campobello's memories of the Revolution in the north of Mexico, where Pancho Villa was a popular hero and a personal friend of her family, show not only the stark realism of Cartucho but also the tender lyricism of My Mother's Hands. They are noteworthy, too, as a first-person account of the female experience in the early years of the Mexican Revolution and unique in their presentation of events from a child's perspective.

House of Houses

Autor: Pat Mora

Número de Páginas: 322

Combining poetic language and the traditions of magic realism to paint a vivid portrait of her family, Pat MoraÕs House of Houses is an unconventional memoir that reads as if every member, death notwithstanding, is in one room talking, laughing, and crying. In a salute to the Day of the Dead, the story begins with a visit to the cemetery in which all of her deceased relatives come alive to share stories of the family, literally bringing the food to their own funerals. From there the book covers a year in the life of her clan, revealing the personalities and events that Mora herself so desperately yearns to know and understand. ÒPoet MoraÕs complex and dramatic family history comprises more than personal reminiscences: it also embraces resonant aspects of Mexican American history. Mora recounts her familyÕs traumatic exodus from Mexico to escape the violence of Pancho Villa and his forces and their struggles to begin new lives in another country. To anchor her psychologically rich, dramatic, sometimes funny, often touching multigenerational tale, Mora uses the image of a houseÑthe house of housesÑduring a single year, a fruitful metaphor that allows her to dwell on the bright ...

Buero Vallejo: A Dreamer for the People

Número de Páginas: 209

Buero Vallejo is Spain's most important living playwright. His profound, innovative theatre has earned him success and respect since 1949. Each new play has been an exciting experiment with dramatic form as well as a powerful expression of a tragic view of human life and Spanish society. A Dreamer for the People was first performed in 1958. In this history play, the first of a remarkable series, culminating in La detonacion ( The Shot also published by Aris & Phillips), the dreamer of the title is the often maligned Marquis of Esquilache, the reformist minister of Carlos III. Buero sets off Esquilache's relations with the king, the aristocracy, his wife and his maidservant against a lively re-creation of the build-up to the famous 1766 Capes and Hats Revolt in the streets of Madrid. Public history and private tragedy are brought together in a complex structure, bringing into clear focus the clash between forces of change and immobility that lay at the heart of both the 18th century and the Franco period in Spain. In returning his proofs, Buero compliments the author of this first translation into English of his play: 'La version de Mr Thompson es muy cuidada y fiel, asi como...

Un pas de deux, un pas de dieu

Autor: Christine Jensen Hogan

Número de Páginas: 168

Thomas Merton, monje católico y escritor del siglo XX, y Anne Bradstreet, una de las primeras poetas puritanas que publicaron en Nueva Inglaterra, se encuentran en Gethsemani, abadía de Kentucky donde Merton vivió la mitad de su vida, seis meses después la muerte de este último, en concreto, el día de la publicación de su novela ‘My Argument with the Gestapo’. El interés de Merton por su libro, una profunda declaración contra la guerra, será un tema recurrente a lo largo de la obra. El diálogo arranca cuando, al recitar una parte de su poema “Contemplations”, Anne Bradstreet interrumpe la soledad de Merton, para su consternación. Ella se ha perdido mientras buscaba su hogar y está asustada por ese monasterio “papista” que ha encontrado. La pieza, salpicada de la poesía de cada uno de los escritores, pasa de la preocupación por las apariencias externas (a Merton no le gustaban los puritanos y Bradstreet temía a los católicos), que son tan diferentes, a sus vidas interiores, que son muy similares. Se dan cuenta de que posiblemente estén en el purgatorio e intercambian pensamientos sobre la salvación y Dios, la Iglesia, el papel de la mujer, de la...

Beyond Intensity

Autor: Ramon Vila

After years of traveling the world, searching for all life has to offer, Toni Martí realizes that his youthful curiosity has soured into stagnation, depression, and drug addiction. While stumbling through what remains of his life, he commits a crime and is sentenced to community service at a nursing home. Forced to comply, he forms a grudging relationship with Juan, an octogenarian whose family long ago abandoned him, and whose day-to-day life seems undisturbed by change. He also encounters Lucía, who runs the nursing home, but not her life; too fearful to follow the lure of her dreams or rebel against her parents, she has grown dull and unhappy. “Beyond Intensity” captures the story of three characters trapped in lives that bring them only loneliness and despair. Soon, they will be forced to discover what is beyond the pursuit of momentary pleasure, beyond routine, beyond conformity. Against the backdrop of a dehumanized society, these three characters’ lives give us the opportunity to reflect on the culture of immediacy and the search for instant gratification—to ask ourselves, what lies beyond intensity?
