Aunque Josep Pla dijera que Agustí Calvet (1887-1964), más conocido por el seudónimo de Gaziel, había sido "la figura más señera del periodismo peninsular durante casi un cuarto de siglo", Josep Benet llego a la conclusion de que era, tambien, "uno de los personajes peor conocidos, incomprendidos y mas difamados" del siglo XX catalan. Ambos juicios son ciertos, pues no es exagerado decir que Gaziel llego a ser el mejor periodista no solo de Cataluña, sino de toda España, ni tampoco lo es afirmar que durante las ultimas decadas ha sido una de las personalidades mas injustamente juzgadas por un sector de la cultura catalana. Esta biografia -la primera que se publica en castellano sobre su figura- es un intento de reconstruir la compleja trayectoria vital y profesional de un intelectual que, segun sus propias palabras, "a pesar de su profunda catalanidad, de la que esta muy satisfecho, siempre ha tenido la mania de rebasar sus limites originarios. España le interesa mas que Cataluña, la Peninsula Iberica mas que España, Europa mas que la Peninsula Iberica, y por encima de todo, lo humano de Terencio, la Humanidad". Un hombre al que sus lectores amaban porque sabian que, siendo falible, era, por encimade todo, insobornable.

Los Malditos se inscribe en la tradición del "weird tale" anglosajón y despliega una exploración de lo sobrenatural entendida menos como truco argumental que como experiencia de lo numinoso. Blackwood privilegia la atmosfera: paisajes cargados, silencios sugestivos y una progresion de inquietud que reemplaza el sobresalto facil por la lenta revelacion de fuerzas inhumanas. El estilo, sobrio y sensorial, atiende a la percepcion psicologica de los personajes y a la ambiguedad entre lo exterior y lo mental, rasgo coherente con el transito finisecular hacia un terror mas moderno y sugestivo. Algernon Blackwood (18691951) fue una figura central del relato fantastico britanico, contemporaneo del auge espiritista y de los debates sobre lo oculto que atravesaron la cultura victoriana tardia y eduardiana. Su interes por la naturaleza como escenario de lo inexplicable, asi como su familiaridad con corrientes esotericas y con la literatura de fantasmas, orientan una poetica donde lo invisible se manifiesta como potencia cosmica. Esa sensibilidad, reforzada por su oficio de narrador breve, explica la precision con que administra expectativa y extrañamiento. Recomendable para lectores que buscan un terror literario de alta densidad estetica, mas cercano a la inquietud metafisica que al gore. Tambien es valioso para estudiosos del fantastico, pues permite observar como el miedo surge de la sugestion, el paisaje y la alteracion de la conciencia. Su lectura recompensa la atencion lenta y critica.

La hija de Moctezuma (Montezumas Daughter, 1893) narra, desde la voz del inglés Thomas Wingfield, el encuentro violento entre Europa y Mesoamérica durante la Conquista. Haggard combina la novela historica con la aventura imperial: viajes, naufragios, cautiverio y batallas se articulan en un relato de ritmo sostenido, atento al color local y a la espectacularidad de lo exotico. El libro construye un panorama del mundo mexica cortes, rituales, jerarquias filtrado por una mirada victoriana, y convierte el drama politico (Moctezuma, Cortes, el colapso de Tenochtitlan) en telon de fondo para dilemas de lealtad, identidad y destino. Su estilo es descriptivo, enfatico y moralizante, propio del romance tardio decimononico. Henry Rider Haggard (18561925) fue una figura central de la ficcion imperial britanica. Su experiencia temprana en el Africa austral y su formacion en el clima ideologico del Imperio alimentaron una imaginacion orientada a "mundos perdidos" y civilizaciones antiguas, donde la historia se vuelve escenario de prueba para el heroe. En esta novela traslada su repertorio exploracion, choque cultural, heroismo providencial a America, apoyandose en cronicas y tradiciones historiograficas disponibles en su tiempo, aunque no sin sesgos etnograficos propios de la epoca. Recomendable para lectores de novela historica clasica y estudiosos del imaginario colonial en la literatura victoriana. Conviene leerla criticamente: su potencia narrativa y su ambicion panoramica iluminan tanto la Conquista como las formas en que el siglo XIX la reinterpreto para entretener, enseñar y justificar una vision del mundo.

¿Qué pasaría si la humanidad desapareciera sin apocalipsis ni juicio moral, dejando atrás un cosmos indiferente? Thomas Moynihan explora cómo, desde la astrobiología hasta la estadística, pasando por la geociencia, hemos aprendido a reconocer nuestra propia fragilidad. Con rigor historico y filosofico, Moynihan muestra como asumir el riesgo existencial (riesgo-X) define y completa, de algun modo, nuestra "mayoria de edad" como civilizacion y especie. Mas que anticipar el fin, esta toma de conciencia nos invita a reflexionar sobre nuestra responsabilidad etica: si dejamos de existir, nada humano perdurara.Asi, un libro sobre la extincion podria esconder, paradojicamente, un posible final feliz si la conquista del espacio se revela como alternativa. Ad astra per aspera.

La geografía de la memoria narra la vida de una mujer que crece en San Joaquín, Caaguazú (Paraguay), rodeada de tierra colorada, comunidad y la fuerza silenciosa de una familia dedicada a la agricultura, la ganaderia y la salud de su pueblo, recibiendo vidas y acompañando la crianza.Su infancia transcurre entre aromas de cocina y de bosque, bajo el crujido de una casa de madera que respira con el clima y ante la presencia firme de sus padres, capaces de abrir caminos en el monte y defender la vida en las noches mas oscuras.A medida que crece, descubre la dureza del desarraigo. La ciudad la enfrenta con el silencio, la discriminacion y el desafio de sostener su identidad cultural. Sin embargo, encuentra nuevos territorios para reconstruirse. Lucha por pertenecer, crea comunidad y transforma su historia en un acto de resistencia amorosa. Su recorrido demuestra que las raices no se pierden, sino que se llevan en el cuerpo y florecen alli donde uno decide quedarse a vivir.

Autobiografía de un andrógino se presenta como un testimonio narrativo que combina memoria personal, observación social y reflexión psicológica para describir la experiencia de vivir con una identidad de genero no normativa en la Norteamerica de inicios del siglo XX. El libro alterna episodios formativos, escenas de sociabilidad urbana y pasajes introspectivos, con un estilo sobrio, confesional y a ratos clinico, propio de una epoca en la que la sexualidad y el "invertido" eran tratados bajo lenguajes medico-legales. En su contexto literario, dialoga con la tradicion de la autobiografia moderna y con los primeros discursos sexologicos, ofreciendo un documento fronterizo entre literatura y archivo cultural. Earl Lind (publicado bajo el seudonimo Ralph Werther) escribe desde una posicion de sujeto observado y, a la vez, analista de si mismo. Su proyecto parece impulsado por la necesidad de legibilidad: explicar ante el lector y ante las instituciones la coherencia intima de una vida que la norma reduce a patologia. La erudicion implicita, el cuidado por la causalidad biografica y la apelacion a categorias cientificas sugieren una estrategia defensiva, pero tambien una voluntad pionera de autorrepresentacion. Recomiendo este libro a lectores de estudios de genero, historia cultural y literatura testimonial: su valor reside menos en la "trama" que en la densidad historica de su mirada. Es una lectura exigente, a veces marcada por el vocabulario de su tiempo, pero imprescindible para comprender genealogias tempranas de la experiencia trans y androgina.

A partir de la sociología del conocimiento y la crítica cultural, Figuraciones de la acción social analiza una serie representativa de figuras sociales que, elaboradas espontáneamente por la opinión publica y alimentadas por la industria cultural, el periodismo, la literatura y el cine, atraviesan la sociedad civil y los imaginarios colectivos. Los perfiles culturales que aqui se estudian son idiosincraticos e ideologicos, representan percepciones, canalizan prejuicios, miedos y deseos, y registran, a su manera, el conflicto social, haciendolo legible e interpretable. A partir de Dilthey y Durkheim hasta llegar a Gadamer, Elias y Bourdieu, pasando por los aportes imprescindibles de Simmel y de Weber, se realiza un rastreo cultural e ideologico de una serie de perfiles culturales que organizan en el presente los imaginarios transnacionales. Las figuras del amigo y el enemigo, la victima, el sobreviviente, el martir, el forastero, el pobre, el agresor o victimario, el heroe, el villano, el antiheroe, el consumidor y el ciudadano, el migrante, el ciborg y el Otro, se estudian como redes de significacion utiles para la interpretacion del cine y la literatura, el discurso politico, la publicidad, los juegos digitales y la vida cotidiana.
