Having grown up in a sheltered environment in Switzerland and trained as a teacher with "head, heart, and hands," Ruth Wyss sees her dream job turn into a nightmare under an arbitrary and authoritarian mentor. When she wants to give up to study music, theology, and literature, her pragmatic father encourages her to look for a job, telling her that she will find joy in working independently. A self-confident, energetic woman develops, turning her musical talent into a career. She co-founds a music school, becomes an ensemble director, raises two children, and travels the world with her husband on business. She navigates the pitfalls of life with deep faith, helpfulness, and empathy. "The wind bends the grass, but it does not break it" is particularly true of this strong woman.

Tras casi dos décadas, Miguel Morey retoma el gesto que dio forma a Pequeñas doctrinas de la soledad y lo prolonga en este libro con la misma lucidez que caracteriza toda su obra ensayística. En este nuevo volumen plasma una constelacion de textos que oscilan entre el ensayo, el pensamiento eminentemente filosofico y la literatura, desplazando el centro del discurso para dejar que las ideas logren respirar en el claroscuro de lo fragmentario. La mirada de Morey, ahora mas literaria pero siempre filosofica, pasa revista a figuras clave del pensamiento y el arte Nietzsche, Foucault, Deleuze, Benjamin, Handke y se interroga por temas como la experiencia del presente, la imagen y las artes visuales, la lectura, el lenguaje y la traduccion.¿Que persigue el autor con ello? Una travesia, abrir una puerta en el pensamiento del lector que lo conduzca hacia una experiencia de conocimiento que tan solo el lector puede hacer, y cada lector la suya. Tal como en una buena conversacion. Nuevas doctrinas de la soledad nos sacude para sacarnos del embrutecimiento de lo cotidiano y obligarnos al complicado ejercicio de pensar. Una vez mas, Morey sorprende con su erudicion y sus reflexiones cargadas de inteligencia.

Este libro rescata las crónicas que Ricardo Ragendorfer escribió para Télam entre 2021 y 2023 y que sufrieron los efectos destructores que impuso la "batalla cultural" iniciada por Javier Milei en 2024Con el cierre de la agencia de noticias, se inhabilito la plataforma y ya no fue posible acceder a la cablera de fotos y notas y tampoco a su valioso archivo. Los relatos van del siglo XIX a la actualidad; sus protagonistas son personajes famosos del poder, del mundo artistico y tambien seres anonimos. La linea que los une es lo aleatorio de su drama. Asi, se narran episodios cruciales para el espia de San Martin, Manuel Rodriguez; Alexander Alekhine, el genio del ajedrez que destrono a Capablanca; el Pibe Cabeza, famoso gangster criollo que asolo la provincia de Buenos Aires en la decada de 1930; la verdadera historia del asesinato del Che Guevara en La Higuera; las horas desesperadas de los ultimos dias de Ringo Bonavena; el almirante Massera, Martha Mc Cormack y su desafortunado marido Fernando Branca; Giovanni Ventura, terrorista de la ultraderecha italiana, devenido dueño de una pizzeria de moda en el barrio de Retiro; Hector Colella, el "angel guardian" de la ruta del dinero del empresario Alfredo Yabran; el comisario "Fino" Palacios y sus vinculos con los hechos mas siniestros del ultimo medio siglo; Victoria Villarruel y su fascinacion por el excapitan Alfredo Gonzalez, que hoy purga una condena a veinte años de prision por hechos aberrantes en la ESMA. En esta antologia memorable, Ragendorfer despliega su arte de gran narrador para recrear un momento decisivo de estas vidas, plenas de paradojas y matices, con un emocionante ritmo de thriller.

Poesía que arde con ternura y nos recuerda la magia del deseo¿Cómo contar la ternura? ¿Cómo conjurar hechizos de amor? ¿Cómo invocar rituales que protejan al corazón? Florencia Dapiaggi nos responde estas preguntas con inocencia y honestidad: todo se construye con el aprendizaje mismo de la vida. Por eso, en este libro hay poemas donde reina el brillo y las cosas lindas. Hay poemas que hablan de madres y amigas; poemas de lenguas que se cruzan con pasion; poemas donde una espera y otros donde una es esperada; poemas de cabellos teñidos de fuego y poemas sobre mapas que se trazan sobre cuerpos desnudos. Hay que leer a Flor no solo para conmoverse y recordar la materia de la que estamos hechos; hay que leerla tambien para estar en compañia, que es, por lejos y para siempre, lo mas lindo de la poesia.

"Angélica Gorodischer nos pone frente a una biblioteca personalísima y torrentosa, un río cuyo ímpetu es capaz de arrastrarnos a varios kilómetros de casa. Las jubeas en flor es una gran oportunidad para conocer la energia y el caracter de su pluma inolvidable." Valeria TentoniConvencida de que "si no fuera por los nombres no existirian la cultura, la civilizacion, el hombre, el mundo", Angelica Gorodischer acepta en este libro el desafio de narrar todo un universo con establecimientos penitenciarios, sus viajes interestelares, sus textos miticos, sus navegantes ciegos, sus bares, kioscos y gatos. En una palabra: su aleph. Cada capitulo es una pequeña pieza de encastre en un mosaico mayor, cuyo ensamblaje depende tanto de las capacidades de quien escribe como de quien lee. Sin duda uno de los libros mas ambiciosos de Angelica Gorodischer, Las jubeas en flor excede los limites del genero (cuento, novela, realismo, ciencia ficcion, fantastico) al aventurarse hacia la narracion de un mundo polifacetico y proliferante en el que las cosas suceden todas en todas partes al mismo tiempo.

In recent decades an expanding cadre of archaeologists has embarked to the field and laboratories. Their endeavors have sparked the collection of troves of data about worldwide pasts at multiple scales from the molecular to the macroregional. Investigation has been amplified by new technologies including computers, satellite imagery, mass spectrometry, and sequencers for ancient DNA. As information-rich findings are rapidly being deciphered, it is clear that the temporal depth and global breadth of archaeological discoveries are sufficiently rich to inform us regarding key contemporary issues--sustainability, inequality, governance, well-being, and heritage. Ernest Hooten once described archaeologists as "the senile playboys of science rooting in the rubbish heaps of antiquity." Although Hootens view of archaeology as an esoteric discipline remains intact in some quarters, clearly times have changed--and in this volume a diverse suite of archaeologists marshal their thoughts regarding the current state and future of the discipline.
