Detrás del primer muro había más muro, más rejas, y cámaras y reflectores y sensores de movimiento, además de soldados armados hasta los dientes y helicópteros de caza; no era solo cuestión de saltar y escabullirse en la tierra de la libertad. Esta frontera no era como las de America Central, tan endebles, ni como la que separa a Mexico de Guatemala.En pequeños grupos o tan grandes como para formar caravanas, personas originarias de Centroamerica, y otras partes del mundo, que se dirigen a Estados Unidos, detienen su paso en las ciudades fronterizas de Mexico. Antes y durante la pandemia de covid-19, la escritora Yael Weiss realizo estancias en las principales: Ciudad Hidalgo, Ciudad Juarez, Tenosique, Tijuana y Reynosa, para conocer de primera mano las historias de mujeres, niños y hombres que recorrieron de sur a norte el territorio mexicano, a pesar del miedo a la enfermedad, el hambre, la migra y el narco.Los muros de aire y otras cronicas de frontera es el retrato dinamico de los problemas y los azares de la migracion. Un inigualable mosaico de voces que representa una diversidad de experiencias, motivaciones y sueños. Cinco cronicas literarias que nos acercan a los caminos, a los albergues, a sus comedores y dormitorios, pero tambien a esas zonas grises, tierras de nadie, kilometros y kilometros peligrosos de andar o rodear antes de llegar a la linea.

Primer viaje alrededor del mundo es la fuente principal de información sobre el viaje alrededor de la tierra de Fernando de Magallanes, y el primer documento disponible en Europa acerca del idioma filipino. Antonio Pigafetta fue un marinero y cronista italiano que acompaño de Magallanes en su aventura. Fue uno de los dieciocho hombres que sobrevivieron al viaje, de entre unos 260 de la tripulacion inicial. Pertenecia a una rica familia de Vicenza; y desde su juventud estudio astronomia, geografia y cartografia.Sirvio ademas a bordo de las galeras de la orden de Rodas, a principios del siglo XVI, y hacia 1519 acompaño al nuncio papal, Chieregati, a España, donde conocio al emperador Carlos I.En Sevilla supo del viaje de Magallanes, y tras financiar su pasaje lo admitieron en la expedicion. Zarparon el 10 de agosto de 1519. Pese a sus iniciales discrepancias con Magallanes, gano su confianza y le sirvio como linguista y cartografo. Durante el viaje, Pigafetta compilo numerosos datos sobre la geografia, el clima, la flora, la fauna y los habitantes de los lugares recorridos. En el combate en que Magallanes perdio la vida, Pigafetta tambien recibio graves heridas. Sin embargo, logro curarse y regreso a España bajo el mando de Juan Sebastian Elcano a bordo de la Victoria.Antonio Pigafetta, y el resto de los dieciocho sobrevivientres, llego a Sanlucar de Barrameda (Cadiz) en septiembre de 1522, tres años despues de zarpar. Pigafetta murio en Vicenza en 1534. Su experiencia quedo en este Primer viaje alrededor del mundo, publicado en Venecia en 1536.
