n the form of a historical essay, 500 years full of connections, misunderstandings, and disputes between the US, Europe, and Germany are examined. This "kinship" across the Atlantic has fluctuated for centuries between ignorance and affection, both between changing governments and among the population. The 18th century elevated the US to a model of Western "liberty," which, despite two world warstriggered in imperialist Europe in the 19th centuryonly prevailed in the 20th century, after the defeat of Nazism and fascism. Germany, too, only found its way westward to parliamentary democracy and civil society within the EU.

Ashton Pelham-Martyn, hijo de familia inglesa ilustre, se cría en la India, al pie de la cadena de montañas sagradas conocida como Pabellones lejanos. Tras la muerte de su madre, regresa a Inglaterra, pero añorado, volvera mas tarde a lo que considera sus raices... Y ahi empieza todo.Es esta Pabellones lejanos una historia de lealtades en un siglo XIX marcado por los conflictos coloniales y las guerras regionales; de amistades que persisten hasta la muerte; de grandes aventuras, y del atemporal choque entre Oriente y Occidente. Y tambien una historia de amor, porque pronto Pelham conocera a la princesa india Juli, y su romance, ya dificil de por si por las barreras culturales, resultara tan apasionado como peligroso.A las ardientes llanuras y las montañas coronadas por la nieve de la grandiosa India, en estado de ebullicion, M.M. Kaye añade su extraordinario talento narrativo y una meticulosa precision historica, ademas de la comprension del corazon humano. Y, con ello, Pabellones lejanos se eleva a la cima de las grandes novelas de aventuras, de los grandes clasicos.

Esta antología ofrece una recopilación sustancial de la poesía que emerge directamente del deslumbrante y fascinante misticismo judío. Atendiendo a la incitación de Gershom Scholem de penetrar en el tremendo potencial poetico de la tradicion cabalistica, Peter Cole ofrece composiciones escritas en tres continentes a lo largo de mil quinientos años en iluminadoras versiones.Ademas de la traduccion de los poemas, Cole introduce cada una de las secciones del libro con vivaces comentarios sobre la poesia y sus autores (de Yanai a Ibn Gabirol, de Halevi a Luria, del Zohar al Libro de la Creacion). La antologia cierra con un apartado de notas que da cuenta de aspectos de esta tradicion en todas sus vertientes y referencias. Una obra que, en su conjunto, implica al lector en el campo de fuerza del verso cabalistico, donde se revelan los componentes fundamentales tanto del lenguaje como de la existencia misma.Desde himnos tan acendrados como Leja dodi hasta misteriosos conjuros que describen el ascenso a los cielos, los poemas de esta obra revelan tambien un judaismo distinto y pleno de erotismo en el seno de la propia religion.

Los cuentos de Fray Mocho reúnen diversas historias breves cargadas de humor, ironía y ternura. Ambientados en la Buenos Aires de finales del XIX, los relatos muestran personajes populares —compadrit

"El argentino-húngaro-brasileño Jorge Schwartz es uno de los máximos conocedores del modernismo de su país adoptivo y de la modernidad continental. Su suma Las vanguardias latinoamericanas, que el lector tiene en sus manos en version actualizada, es un utilisimo artefacto. Un mapa imprescindible para quien quiera orientarse por la fascinante selva de los ismos novomundicos" (Juan Manuel Bonet). En sus origenes, las vanguardias artisticas asumieron la responsabilidad de guiar la reivindicacion politica y cultural de la sociedad, tomando una actitud revolucionaria. Dentro de las letras latinoamericanas, no se apartaron de la idea de cambio radical como punto de partida. La voluntad de construir y moldear una realidad distinta se hizo con la exaltacion de lo transitorio y volatil por encima del culto a lo eterno e inmutable.En este libro Schwartz recopila ensayos, manifiestos, prologos, poemas, reflexiones y autoconfesiones en torno a las corrientes "vanguardistas" del siglo xx latinoamericano, desde el criollismo ultraista del joven Borges, pasando por el indigenismo de Mariategui, hasta la glorificacion del dinamismo de la ciudad y de la maquina en el manifiesto antropofago del brasileño Oswald de Andrade. Sin duda, la lectura de estos textos garantiza una osada exploracion del mapa literario que abarca de la urbe a la pampa, cruzando por la orografia del futurismo, el constructivismo, el estridentismo, el surrealismo, la negritud y la raza cosmica.

Are you "in Gods hands" in court and on the high seas? No: In the hands of the judges! Called "judicial independence". And this is infinite. It can even lead to miscarriages of justice. Subsequent apologies? Not a chance! In other words: the judiciary operates in a legal vacuum. Countless examples document this. The German constitutional state functions in part as it did over 100 years ago. Thats how old the abuses are. And the organization of the courts. That is why we should not rely on the much-vaunted principle of the rule of law. The examples cited above show how judicial errors can destroy peoples lives and how helpless we are as victims. Nevertheless: what you can do if you (actually) cant do anything: Read for yourself!
