?? (Odos) in greco antico significa strada, via, viaggio. Un viaggio che si puo intraprendere anche attraverso lanima, la mente: un viaggio metaforico, attraverso gli altri per trovare, alla fine, noi stessi. Il sottotitolo Storie di Strade, infatti, non e casuale. Ogni strada percorsa dai vari personaggi di Mariapia Crisafulli e una strada percorsa da Mariapia stessa e, volendo, da noi che leggiamo. In questa raccolta vi sono temi che si ripetono, sebbene in varie forme, come il mare e la nostalgia per un passato che tale rimarra. Il tema del mare e predominante, forse perche siamo noi siciliani ad avercelo dentro, il rumore del mare [] E lo sentiamo dovunque.. La ? (sumpatheia), termine meraviglioso, designa la condivisione del pathos, della sofferenza altrui: denota empatia. Se la presente raccolta dovesse essere riassunta in una parola, ecco, sarebbe questa: empatia. [] Le strade che si percorrono leggendo queste pagine sono di varia natura: scivolose, pavimentate, sabbiose ma alla fine e la psiche la vera strada, quella che conduce verso la scoperta della piu profonda e reale identita di ciascuno. [] Ogni uomo e un viaggio come dice Mariapia nel componimento che chiude la raccolta; questo componimento riassume il cammino che ci ha mostrato con i suoi racconti, un cammino che, insieme ai suoi personaggi, anche lei si accinge a riprendere.

El tío Ricardo ni siquiera sabía tocar el piano y en el momento de morir ahí se quedó, con su mano pegada al instrumento. Ni unos aguerridos bomberos pudieron conseguir que el pobre hombre se desprendiera del piano, al que se habia aferrado en el utimo instante de su vida. Este es el argumento de Rigor Mortis, el cuento ganador del II Premio Enrique Gallud Jardiel de relatos breves de humor, al que acompañan otros nueve cuentos cortos que quieren transmitirnos la idea de que, al fin y al cabo, ni la vida (ni la muerte) hay que tomarselas tan en serio. Mas aun en una epoca como en la actual en la que vamos de aqui para alla, arrastrando nuestras preocupaciones, con un rigor mortis exageradamente anticipado a cuando deberia. Desfilan por estas paginas tambien personajes tan entrañables y peculiares como el ilustre literato Felipe Cardenillas o un pobre chaval que tendra que verselas con un mago calvo que se la tiene jurada y con la misma muerte, que tambien parece que le ha cogido algo de mania. Historias extravagantes, comicas y desenfadadas para sacarnos aunque sea una pequeña sonrisa en esta epoca tan aburrida. Ah, y tambien hay un alienigena que chantajea a su profesor para que le apruebe la asignatura de Formacion del Espiritu Nacional en plena epoca franquista.

Edición, estudio y notas de Francisco Rodríguez Risquete.Aunque fraguadas sobre todo entre 1858 y 1861, las Rimas están integradas por piezas compuestas a lo largo de casi quince años, hasta el momento de la muerte de Becquer, sin alcanzar una ordenacion definitiva. Los temas dominantes son los propios de la poesia amorosa de todos los tiempos, como la melancolia y la incomunicacion, modulados por toda la tradicion aprendida (desde el clasicismo grecolatino hasta los romanticismos de escuela, pasando por la literatura delSiglo de Oro) y prestando atencion a procedimientos propios de la literatura de consumo, como el sentimentalismo del folletin, la dramatizacion de la vida privada, la metrica de la zarzuela o el tono de la poesia alemana y de la balada de mediados de siglo.La edicion de Francisco Rodriguez Risquete atiende a las diversas fuentes textuales de los poemas y lleva a cabo una nueva y minuciosa evaluacion del origen, orden, validez y titulo del Libro de los gorriones, el autografo en cuya parte final se encuentran las piezas liricas. La rica anotacion contextualiza linguisticamente la aparente sencillez de Becquer y documenta su capacidad unica para convertir el lugar comun en algo distinto e inolvidable.
