El áloeA translation of The Aloe

Katherine Mansfield

Portraying the quandaries of colonial life in New Zealand throughthe story of one family’s move from Wellington to a small ruraltown, this masterful novella is partially autobiographical, and partsof it were incorporated into Mansfield’s acclaimed story “Prelude.”Though the Burnell family relocates a scant six miles from the city,the move is far from inconsequential; in fact, it causes a majordisruption to their former way of life. A mysterious aloe plantand the slaughtering of a duck in their well-kept yard suggestthat the family is concealing brutality and ignorance of anotherway of life that was rejected—that of the Maoris, the rightfulowners of the colonized land. The novella describes the author’ssense of unease from belonging to the group of invaders.

Dramatizando las disyuntivas de la vida colonial en NuevaZelanda a través de la narración de la mudanza de una familiadesde Wellington a un pueblo rural, esta magistral novela cortaes parcialmente autobiográfica, y algunas partes de la obra seincorporaron en el cuento aclamado de Mansfield, “Preludio.”Aunque la familia Burnell se muda apenas a seis millas de la ciu-dad, el movimiento no es intrascendente; de hecho, provoca unaruptura con su anterior forma de vida. Una misteriosa planta deáloe y un pato sacrificado en su bien cuidado patio sugieren quela familia oculta la brutalidad y una ignorancia hacia otra formade vida que fue negada—la de los maoríes, legítimos dueños deaquellas tierras colonizadas. La novela describe el desasosiego dela autora por su pertenencia a la casta de los invasores.

Herman Melville

Presented together in this collection are two stories by HermanMelville: a satire on spiritualism that examines the conflictingimpressions of the members of a family of a bug-infested tableand a reflection on the contrast between the pleasant life of richbachelors and the alienation of enslaved young women. In “TheApple-Tree Table,” strange sounds come from a table before150-year-old bugs begin to emerge from it. “The Paradise ofBachelors and the Tartarus of Maids” points out the outrageousdifferences between two groups by juxtaposing the lavish dinnerof a group of single men in London with a visit to a paper factorywhere young women toil under subhuman conditions.

Presentados juntos en esta recopilación hay dos cuentos deHerman Melville: una sátira del espiritismo que examina lasopiniones divididas de los miembros de una familia sobre unamesa infestada de insectos y una reflexión sobre el contrasteentre la vida placentera de los ricos solteros y la alienación de lasjóvenes esclavizadas. En “La mesa de madera de manzano,” unamesa emite un extraño crujido antes de que insectos de 150 añosemanen de ella. “El Paraíso de los solteros y el Tártaro de lasdoncellas” muestra las inauditas diferencias entre dos grupos,yuxtaponiendo una cena pantagruélica con solteros en Londrescon una visita a una fábrica de papel en la que trabajan mujeresjóvenes en condiciones infrahumanas.

Respirar por la heridaSeeing Red

Víctor del Árbol

With a well-concocted plot and an atmosphere of intense pain andguilt, this novel pushes the main characters’ limits with precisionand psychology. Perhaps God rolls the dice with destiny; or maybeit’s chance that snatches from people that which they love most; orit could be that everything that happens is simply the result of peo-ple’s actions. These are the thoughts that torment Eduardo, apainter for whom nothing makes sense anymore after the death ofhis wife and daughter. Nothing, that is, until a famous cellist giveshim the biggest challenge of his life: to paint the portrait of a manof an uncertain past. With each brush stroke, Eduardo opens doorsthat were meant to stay shut—doors which, once open, can neverbe closed again.

Con una trama bien urdida y un ambiente de dolor y culpa descar-nada, esta novela desborda los límites de sus protagonistas con pre-cisión y psicología. Quizás Dios juega a los dados con el destino; otal vez sea el azar el que les arrebate a las personas aquello que másaman; o puede que todo lo que ocurre sea simplemente el resultadode los actos de la gente. Estos son los pensamientos que atormen-tan a Eduardo, un pintor para quien nada tiene sentido tras lamuerte de su mujer y su hija. Nada, es decir, hasta que una famosavioloncelista le encarga el mayor reto de su vida: pintar el retrato deun hombre de pasado incierto. Con cada pincelada, Eduardo abrepuertas que habría sido mejor mantener cerradas—puertas que,una vez abiertas, nunca podrán volver a estar cerradas.

Los estratosThe Strata

Juan Cárdenas

Far from the preexisting models that deal with the realities ofLatin America with a stark, apocalyptic realism or a trivial cele-bration of the exotic, this novel is radical support for literaturedevoted to writing, understood to mean the transformation ofthe everyday experience and as a reflection on the way in whichpersonal, social, and historical stories are constructed. Throughone voice constantly interrupted by many others, it tells the storyof a man besieged by the need to reconstruct a vague memoryfrom his childhood, while essential elements of his private lifecollapse with each passing day. The book is a philosophicalexploration of the peculiar forms of desire typical of late capital-ism in a society as unequal and contradictory as Colombia’s inthe beginning of the 21st century.

Lejos de los modelos preestablecidos que abordan las realidadesde América Latina desde el tremendismo apocalíptico o la banalcelebración de lo exótico, esta novela es una apuesta radical poruna literatura apegada a la escritura, entendida como la transfor-mación de la experiencia cotidiana y como reflexión sobre lamanera en que se construyen los relatos personales, sociales ehistóricos. A través de una voz intervenida constantemente pormuchas otras, cuenta la historia de un hombre asediado por lanecesidad de reconstruir un recuerdo impreciso de su infancia,mientras los elementos esenciales de su vida privada se desmoro-nan con el paso de cada día. El libro es una exploración filosóficade las particulares formas del deseo propias del capitalismo tardíoen una sociedad tan desigual y contradictoria como la colom-biana de comienzos del siglo XXI.

El Príncipe PitoLo esencial es evidente a los ojos, para quienquiere verPrince Prick: What Is Essential Is Visible to the Eye, for ThoseWho Want to See

Pablo Perel

A philosophical fable that parodies and questions—and in turngoes beyond the proposals of—Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s TheLittle Prince, this light, humorous story is channeled through themain character’s penis, which becomes a key character with whichthe protagonist has conversations throughout the book. WhenAdam and Eve are expelled from Eden for acting in collusion, theunion of the genders is broken, splitting into two worlds separatedby competition, submission, and lack of understanding. A youngman sinks into desolation until Prince Prick appears to turn hisheart upside-down, stripping down all at once religion, sex, war,love, and the existence of the soul.

Una fábula filosófica que parodia y cuestiona—y a su vez va másallá del planteamiento de—El Principito de Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, este relato ágil y humorístico se canaliza por el pene delpersonaje principal, el cual se convierte en un personaje clave conel que dialoga el protagonista a lo largo del libro. Cuando Adán yEva son expulsados del Edén por actuar en complicidad, la uniónde los géneros se quiebra y se escinde en dos mundos aislados porla competencia, el sometimiento y la incomprensión. Un hombrejoven se hunde en la desolación hasta que aparece el Príncipe Pitopara darle la vuelta a su corazón, desnudando al mismo tiempo lareligión, el sexo, la guerra, el amor y la existencia del alma.

Jean RolinTranslated by Luisa Feliu

When Britney Spears begins receiving threats from an allegedIslamic sect, the French secret service sends one of its own toLos Angeles to investigate. At first blush, the agent in questiondoesn’t seem to be the most qualified: he doesn’t drive, isn’tinterested at all in the entertainment industry, and suffers froma nervous condition. However, he does everything in his powerto get himself up to date quickly: he infiltrates the world of thepaparazzi, frequents Sunset Boulevard and Rodeo Drive, andbecomes an expert on Britney Spears and on the city’s publictransportation system. Using the famous singer and a comicaldetective as a starting point, the author offers his own satiricaltake on famous people who are known more for their excessesand private lives than for their work.

Sinembargo, hace todo lo posible para ponerse al día rápidamente: seintroduce en el mundo de los paparazzi, frecuenta Sunset Boulevardy Rodeo Drive y se convierte en un especialista en Britney Spears yen la red de transporte público de la ciudad.

Michael Bird

Demonstrating how new developments in various materials—oil-based paint, plastics, paint tubes—and technology—paper, pho-tography, welding—have radically changed the way art isproduced, this illuminating book draws parallels between thosechanges and others that have occurred within a wider culturalframework. The study of optics and anatomy, for example, aswell as more conceptual concerns, such as chance and ephemeral-ity, are all discussed as ideas that have influenced art throughoutits history, from the Paleolithic Age through ancient civilizations,the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, and into modern times.

Demostrando cómo nuevos desarrollos en diferentes materiales—óleos, plásticos, tubos de pintura—y tecnologías—el papel, lafotografía, la soldadura—han cambiado radicalmente la manera enla cual se produce el arte, este libro revelador dibuja paralelos entreesos cambios y otros que han ocurrido dentro de un marco culturalmás amplio. Por ejemplo, el estudio de la óptica y la anatomía,además de temas más conceptuales tales como el azar y lo efímero,son discutidos como ideas que han influenciado el arte a lo largo desu historia, desde la época paleolítica y a través de las civilizacionesantiguas, la Edad Media y el Renacimiento hasta la época moderna.

Religión y comunicaciónReligion and Communication, a translation from the Catalan of Religió i comunicació

Lluís Duch

Describing the increasing importance of the media as a means ofcommunicating religious doctrine, this book contends that the wayinformation is disseminated is nearly as vital as the message itself.The author argues that religions do not effectively communicatetheir beliefs and that religious communities suffer from a lack ofquality of their broadcasts. The examination explores the conceptof tradition, the importance of symbols, the difference betweeninformation and communication, the crisis of confidence in reli-gious institutions, the diminishment of the sacred, and the revolu-tion of belief. The future of religion depends on a direct manner ofcommunication and appropriate contextualization, and this bookprovides necessary information for reaching out to believers.

Describiendo la creciente importancia de los medios de comuni-cación para comunicar la doctrina religiosa, este libro sostiene quela manera en que la información se disemina es casi tan vital comoel propio mensaje.

El análisis explora el con-cepto de tradición, la importancia de símbolos, la diferencia entreinformación y comunicación, la crisis de confianza en las institu-ciones religiosas, la erosión de lo sagrado y la revolución de locreíble. El futuro de la religión depende de un modo directo de lacomunicación y una oportuna contextualización, y este libro pro-porciona la información necesaria para alcanzar a los creyentes.

El budismoUna perspectiva histórico-filosóficaBuddhism: A Historical and Philosophical Perspective

Miguel Rodríguez de Peñaranda

Using the central concept of dependent origination—the belief thatnothing exists independently of other things—as a springboard,this study explores the myriad interpretations of this teachingthroughout Buddhism’s long history. In addition to an unprece-dented examination of the original intention of this concept in thephilosophical and spiritual context of fifth-century India, theauthor also discusses little-known or poorly interpreted events inthe subsequent evolution of Buddhism, including the earliest coun-cils and schisms within the religion and the development ofMahayana Buddhism, the largest current major tradition inBuddhism. The book ends with several reflections on the possiblerole Buddhism can play in modern-day society, basing itself on theideas of contemporary philosophers.

Tomando como punto de partida el concepto central de la origi-nación dependiente—la creencia que nada existe independiente-mente de otras cosas—este estudio explora el gran número deinterpretaciones de esta enseñanza a lo largo de la larga historiadel budismo. Aparte de una clarificación sin precedentes de laintención original de este concepto en el contexto de la filosofía yespiritualidad india del siglo V a. C., el autor recorre episodiospoco conocidos o no siempre bien interpretados de la historiaposterior, incluyendo los primeros concilios y cismas dentro de lareligión y el desarrollo del mahayana, la principal tradición actualdel budismo. El libro termina con unas reflexiones acerca delposible papel del budismo en la sociedad moderna a partir de lasideas de filósofos contemporáneos.

The thought of leavinghis homeland behind leaves Dalil with conflicting emotions: onthe one hand, he is desperate to leave behind the war. On theother, however, he is unable to imagine a life without Shaima.

Una conmovedora historia sobre los horrores de la guerra y las difi-cultades de una vida en el exilio, esta novela se centra en una famil-ia católica iraquí. Dalil es un niño de 13 años viviendo los peligrosde la Guerra del Golfo. En medio del sonido ensordecedor de lasbombas y la amenaza de los misiles, sólo una cosa le hace feliz: suamiga Shaima. El amor que siente por la niña es lo único que lepermite superar un día a día marcado por el miedo y la incertidum-bre. A medida que la situación de su familia se hace insostenible,tienen que decidir entre quedarse en Irak o reunirse en Francia conel tío de Dalil. La idea de dejar su país natal provoca en Dalil sen-timientos encontrados: por un lado, quiere dejar atrás la guerra,pero por otro, no es capaz de imaginarse su vida sin Shaima.

Roddy Doyle

“Written mostly in dialogue, at which Doyle excels, and populated witha charming foursome of Irish women, this lovely tale is as much aboutovercoming the fear of death as it is about death itself.”

—Publishers Weekly, starred review, on the English-language edition

“This elegantly constructed yet beautifully simple story, set in Ireland andspun with affection by Booker Prize winner Doyle, will be something dif-ferent for YA readers. These four lilting voices will linger long after thebook is closed.”

—Booklist, starred review, on the English-language edition
