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?

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.

Un pas de deux, un pas de dieu

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...

Resisting the onslaught of gringos coming to live in their southwestern border town, Bale & Maggie develop a friendship based on their common struggle. Where they differ is in the possibilities for each of their futures: his, closed by poverty & family tragedy; hers, opened by her relationship with her grandmother, Adela Sewa.

Conflicts of Interest

Autor: María Amparo Ruiz De Burton

Número de Páginas: 647

María Amparo Ruiz de Burton, the recently discovered nineteenth-century novelist, broke many of the boundaries that circumscribed the life of both women and Hispanics in the southwestern territories of the United States. Not only was she the first Hispanic novelist to write English, but her courage and resolve took her into the circles of governmental and financial power where very few women had tread before. Conflicts of Interest captures the conflicted personality of María Amparo Ruiz de Burton, a woman pulled in different directions by tensions of class, race, gender, and nationality. The trajectory of Ruiz de Burtons life through her correspondence makes for a compelling and revealing narrative, one that brings to life the evolution of discourse and culture in the Southwest as it was becoming integrated in the United States a process which, some might argue, continues today. This volume is as complete a collection of the Ruiz de Burton letters as is possible, given the imperfect historical record. Included are various personal and business documents and a collection of articles about her family. Among her correspondents were such important historical figures as Samuel L. M....

JUST THE WAY IT WAS

Autor: Mario Ignacio Zunzunegui

Número de Páginas: 284

This book is a simple and humble gift, a present, a legacy of past life and love. It is a tale of many joys, laughs, and even laughter, as well as tears that sometimes came to be shed. It is a small present without any monetary or significant value of any commercial interest. Nevertheless, it is very exclusive because only the author can make this gift, because within the gift there are many experiences and anecdotes of a lifetime that only he is aware of. It is a gift that may one day be useful to dad or mom, when their son or daughter asks you to tell a story. Well, finally in decades to come, this dusty and forgotten old gift might have served for something useful. At the request of my great friend Mario Ignacio Zunzunegui, I allow myself to review his book where he captures his memoir with absolute reality. We first met many years ago through the sport of rock and high mountain climbing in Mexico City. I wish to testify that Mario recounts with absolute veracity events in his book and in which he cites me as an active participant. I congratulate Mario for his excellent memory in recounting those events in which he names my sister, Yoselinda, and me. We planned a trip to climb...

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.

Palabras de Los Seres Verdaderos

Autor: Carlos Montemayor

Número de Páginas: 304

As part of the larger, ongoing movement throughout Latin America to reclaim non-Hispanic cultural heritages and identities, indigenous writers in Mexico are reappropriating the written word in their ancestral tongues and in Spanish. As a result, the long-marginalized, innermost feelings, needs, and worldviews of Mexico's ten to twenty million indigenous peoples are now being widely revealed to the Western societies with which these peoples coexist. To contribute to this process and serve as a bridge of intercultural communication and understanding, this groundbreaking, three-volume anthology gathers works by the leading generation of writers in thirteen Mexican indigenous languages: Nahuatl, Maya, Tzotzil, Tzeltal, Tojolabal, Tabasco Chontal, Purepecha, Sierra Zapoteco, Isthmus Zapoteco, Mazateco, Ñahñu, Totonaco, and Huichol. Volume Three contains plays by six Mexican indigenous writers. Their plays appear first in their native language, followed by English and Spanish translations. Montemayor and Frischmann have abundantly annotated the Spanish, English, and indigenous-language texts and added glossaries and essays that introduce the work of each playwright and discuss the...

The Falklands Regime

Autor: Dr. Mike Bingham

Número de Páginas: 308

This true story tells how twenty years after British troops died for democracy in the Falklands War, a British citizen would be forced to flee the Falklands to escape political corruption and death threats, to seek democracy and freedom of speech in Argentina. When a British biologist dared to connect the starvation of 5 million penguins to commercial fishing that was making the Falklands elite rich, a deadly game of cat and mouse was unleashed. Bungled attempts to deport, imprison and kill Bingham, landed the Falkland Islands Government in the Supreme Court, which ruled that the Governor, Attorney General, Chief Executive and Executive Council had committed acts of human rights abuse that were “morally and constitutionally indefensible”. When the Falklands Government stated in public that they were not going to be stopped by the Supreme Court ruling, Bingham was forced to seek safety in Argentina. It is good to know that British troops did not die in vain.
