Violento, rudo, carente de miramiento y civilidad: esa es la definición de bruto que da la RAE. Y así es el mundo de Nito: el barrio donde vive, la gente que le rodea. Por eso, su entrada en la escuela de cine y el descubrimiento de la escritura como vocacion suponen, para el, un transito hacia otra vida: artistica, prestigiosa, sofisticada.Esta es la historia de ese transito y de lo que Nito pierde por el camino: su mejor amigo, su novia, su familia. La escritura es, a la vez, lo que provoca la perdida y lo que la alivia, ya que gracias a ella Nito puede mantener todo aquello vivo, aunque sea en la ficcion.Los brutos no es una historia, sino una acumulacion de historias; una bateria de ficciones. Algunas parecen recuerdos, otras sueños, otras invenciones. Todas obedecen al mismo intento: buscar lo excepcional en lo real y protegerlo, asi, del paso del tiempo, de la desaparicion.

En Tiemblas en el verano, el autor se sumerge en una memoria de pasión y abandono: el tiempo recobrado de un amor de juventud. Un amor cuyo recuerdo es atravesado aquí por la escritura como un rayo de luz en un banco de niebla. De Madrid a La Coruña, de Florencia a Lausana, pagina tras pagina, asistimos a la labor de arqueologia de un narrador que busca comprender el significado y las secuelas de unos hechos destinados a cambiar su vida.Desnudez, valentia, sinceridad y radicalidad hacen de esta novela un combate cuerpo a cuerpo con el dolor y un testimonio del poder emancipador del consuelo que se gana al confrontar el oficio de vivir con el corazon herido. Tiemblas en el verano es un relato autobiografico que desafia las convenciones narrativas, una indagacion sobre el sexo, el arte, el rechazo y el poder reparador de la literatura.

Chutni es un mono un poco antipático y egoísta. Un día sale con sus hermanos a buscar algo de comida entre la maleza. Mientras Chutni se da un banquete con la fruta que consigue, se niega a compartir su botin con nadie. Su avaricia puede llegar a meterle en algun problema. Los lapices de Bruna crean escenas etereas con esa textura tan personal y una paleta de color terrosa. El conjunto nos transporta directamente al bosque de Melabu, con sus luces y sus sombras.

Aprenderas sobre los codigos binarios y morse, el alfabeto braille, la lengua de signos, el alfabeto fonetico y el Codigo Internacional de Señales.

Don Quijote de la Mancha, obra maestra de Miguel de Cervantes, se revela al lector atento como un verdadero tesoro iniciático. Mientras la academia acostumbra a presentar el texto como una crítica a la caballeria a traves de la parodia de unas novelas aun en boga a finales del siglo XVI, aqui sostenemos lo contrario: que la obra defiende y celebra la caballeria en su dimension iniciatica. Cervantes, al igual que Rabelais, recurre al principio hermetico del reverso dionisiaco, por el cual se denuncia o ridiculiza lo que en realidad se promueve o ensalza. Bajo el velo de lo comico, aflora una caballeria entendida como via del despertar, que surge desde el Imaginal. Signos, simbolos, mitemas y juegos de palabras se entretejen con sutileza para transmitir una enseñanza iniciatica magistral, situada en la encrucijada de la metafisica nodual, la cabala y el hermetismo. En estas paginas convocamos miradas que liberan: la de una espiritualidad laica, despojada del peso de las instituciones, de los codigos y de las normas de la mundanidad la del viaje iniciatico, esa locura que libera la de la caballeria errante, que escapa a toda tentativa de organizacion, unica caballeria verdaderamente iniciatica la de las alquimias internas la del amor cortes, el Amor, en definitiva, sin objeto la de la pareja como via del despertar la de la Mujer, libre, secreta, sagrada, iniciadora original y ultima, Misterio de los misterios que impregna el Don Quijote de la Mancha.
