POEMS

Bago Aplaya

By Macario Tiu

Picture

Hinay ang tapya sa balod

Ug nagsugod na ang taob.

Namasbas ang pari sa bangkang de motor,

Ug lakip tang nawiskan sa bendita.

Uban sa mga gagmayng mananagat nga nanag-alirong.

Nalipay ako sa ilang kalipay

Nga nakaangkog himan sa panagat:

Mao kana ang atong gisaulog.

Apan hinay ang tapya sa balod

Ug nagsugod na ang taob.

Ug sama sa karaang magbabalak,

Akong nabati ang walay kataposang kasubo

Nga dala sa balod.

Apan dili tungod sa pangagho sa katawhan

Kondili sa akong kaugalingong kahimtang.

Ugma, mobiya ka na sa hangtod

Samtang hinay ang balod

Ug magsugod na ang taob.( Tropangjacque!)

Analysis of the Text

The poem itself stated and described the life of a fisherman. Even though fisherman is an ordinary job, they are still thankful. They embraced and contented in what they have. Being a fisherman is also one of the dangerous jobs. Specially when we have a bad weather the storms and big crashes of waves makes them struggle more, but they keep on going, cause they believe God is there whose leading them with a light in a pathway, who are also helping and watching them, doing their jobs just to catch fish so that they might help and support their families and do their full responsibilities to other people to earn small capitals.

Taphag

By: Teresa may Mundiz

Nong Porferio prepares the rice, eggs, and a roll of native cigarette for that day’s ritual. A son of a neighbor has had a fever for more than a week, and no medicine could seem to subside the illness. According to Anok, his grandson, they were just playing and shouting in the forest a fortnight ago. So Nong Porferio asked for Anok to help him do the taphag. It is also high time that his grandson learn their tribe’s ritual and panawagtawag.

“’Nok,” called out Nong Porferio, “can you please come out of the hut and help me here?”

Anok, in his brightly colored shirt and faded shorts, comes out of the hut. The boy lives with his grandfather because his school is just a kilometer away from his grandfather’s house. Both Anok and Nong Porferio have sunkissed skin, unkempt hair, lithe bodies, and honest faces. They are both Mandaya Kamayo living in Barangay Borboanan.

“Help me prepare the table for the taphag,” ordered Nong Porferio to the quizzical-faced Anok.

“Taphag-what?”

“Taphag is what we call our tribe’s ritual. During taphag, we prepare the table for our offerings to the spirits.”

“Are those rice and eggs for the spirits?” responded Anok almost with disbelief and excitement. He knows he is a Mandaya Kamayo, but he has not known about rituals or offerings all his 12-year-old life.

“Yes,” curtly replied Nong Porferio. “We have to do this because your friend has not been healed of his fever.”

Nong Porferio sets the buyo into the wooden mortar. He has to have his mama ready as well.

Anok, sensing the urgency of the taphag, quickly grabs on the bolo, goes at the back of the hut to get fresh banana leaves he will set on the table, then returns to where his grandfather is seen pounding the buyo for his mama.

“Tang, what else do we include in the taphag?” asked Anok. Indeed, he remembers another young boy whom he was playing weeks ago. He has not seen him after that, and he has heard about his fever. There was another neighbor who related on how this young boy’s stomach has swollen, too. “Tang?”

“Oh, I’m sorry, dong,” muttered Nong Porferio. “Please take out the chicken in the pot, and place it on the ritual table. Do not even try to put salt into it.”

“Why?”

“You know, the spirits…” jokingly responded the old man. “There has to be sweets like candies on the table, then, some rhum. But, again, no salt.”

Anok balances the pale chicken on the sartin plate as he walks towards the bamboo table filling up the gifts for the taphag. He sees his grandfather’s favorite rhum, still unopened, the eggs whose raw, hardened shell has the same color as the unsalted chicken, and a lot of candies. He wants one, but he has seen how Nong Porferio is also eyeing him. His eyes telling him, Do not steal from the spirits. Embarassed, Anok walks away from the table.

“They will be here in a minute,” remarked Nong Porferio.

“Nong!” came a shout from the distance. There are also other voices, leaves ruffling. They have visitors.

“Uy! come here,” ushered the old man. “Come near here in the table. I am almost done.”

Along with the entourage is the sick boy. He looks really frail, and his eyes have dark circles under them. His mother has been crying. “Please heal him, Tang.”

“We have to make peace, and ask the spirit to heal him,” came the reply.

Then, changing his usual clothes with a vest, and a piece of undergarment, both grandfather and Anok gather up the kamanyan leaves to build a fire. Anok fans the smoke as it rises up on air. Chewing on his mama, Nong Porferio lifts one by one the items on the table. He then chants a prayer, and moves toward the sick boy.

The smoke continues to rise, along with the taphag. Anok looks at his grandfather with pride and awe. He has not seen him in trance. Nong Porferio, in his old age, still moves lightly, circling the sick boy. And he guides the boy to move with him.

Anok feels the wind blowing, rustling the leaves of the trees around them. He sees the boy kneeling, his grandfather still in trance. Then, silence falls.

“Nay,” a weak voice came. It is the sick boy. His face no longer pale. A little smile forms his mouth.

“The spirits heal!”

“The spirits forgive!”

When everyone of the family gathers around the boy, Anok, also in trance, walks toward his grandfather. Nong Porferio is slumped, his head bowed down. He has fallen asleep after the taphag.

Analysis:

The story about it tells the importance of tradition which is ritual's. Our older relative are practicing the ritual's even though in the present they believe that through ritual's it can heal any diseases.

Element:

Character: Nong porferio,anok,the who has a sick which fever, neighbor.

Lines: 96 lines

Stanza: 17

Figure of speech: metaphor, Personification,

Symbolism: chicken it's symbolize the offering to the spirit who heal the diseases that they believe.

JOTHAM C. SEREÑO.

Friendship

It is cosmic. But why do we try

reducing it precisely to habits?

Perhaps it sleeps, too, and wakes

to a new day like we do.

It sits momentarily, reviews a list of needs

and few serviceable tasks in a day.

Perhaps it looks for a quick inspiration, too.

A good call, or a response to a message

which has not been read for a couple of hours.

Neither circumstances nor excuses will ever

lose its value. After conflicts and neglects,

it restores and seeks itself again.

Perhaps it finds a new space

sometimes: once in a week, a month or two.

How long can it travel alone? It learns

where it stumbles upon itself.

It does not know it loves

because sometimes it reads too much.

It raises a mirror to itself and gazes

long at what it only wants to see,

and throws a question it cannot even answer.

Only when it demands, it delivers

a disappointed look.

It also hates and does not accept,

even itself. When it is in pain, it goes back

to where it once found itself easy.

It strangles with both hands but stops

to a sight of love, open as widening palms.

Then it goes home, empties out its pockets

full of ever-hefty disquiet.

Later, before it rests, it remembers

and holds a new precious thought.

Only it knows how it always wishes itself best.

Bonsai

By Edith Tiempo

All that I love

I fold over once

And once again

And keep in a box

Or a slit in a hollow post

Or in my shoe

All that I love?

Why, yes but for the moment-

And for all time, both.

Something that folds and keeps easy,

Son’s note, or Dad’s one gaudy tie,

A roto picture of a young queen

A blue Indian shawl, even

A money bill.

It’s utter sublimation,

A feat, this heart’s control

Moment to moment

To scale all love down

To a cupped hand’s size.

Till seashells are broken pieces

From God’s own bright teeth,

All life and love are real

Things you can run and

Breathless hand over

To the merest child

Analysis:

The poem tell us that all things we hold dear may give us happiness and security but the happiness and security they offer are but temporal yet life on earth is so short.

Element:

Character:

Setting:

Line: 25 lines

Stanza: 4 stanza

Symbolism:

In alphabetical order, they are: Be Prepared, by Vera Brosgol, sends young Vera, a Russian girl living in an American suburb, to summer camp—Russian summer camp, the only one her single mom can afford and the one where she just might be able to fit in,

The Cardboard Kingdom, by Chad Sell, follows a neighborhood of kids who transform ordinary cardboard into fantastical homemade costumes as they explore conflicts with friends, family, and their own identity.

Hidden Witch, by Molly Knox Ostertag, continues the story of Asler, hero of The Witch Boy, as he takes magic lessons from his grandmother and tries to help his non-magical friend Charlie escape from a curse that's trying to attach itself to her.

Last Pick, by Jason Walz, takes readers to an earth overrun by alien invaders, where only those too young, too old, or too "disabled" have been spared from abduction...but maybe the kids last picked can step up and start a revolution.

Lumberjanes: The Infernal Compass, by Lilah Sturges and polterink, finds the Janes separated during an orienteering outing, thanks to a mysterious compass that others very much want to lay their hands on.

My Beijing: Four Stories of Everyday Wonder, by Nie Jun, introduces Yu'er and her grandpa, who live in a small neighborhood in Beijing that's full of big personalities—with a story around every corner and a hint of magic each day.

Onibi: Diary of a Yokai Ghost Hunter, by Atelier Sento, transports readers to the places where natural and supernatural meet, as it explores some of the lesser-known parts of Japan in a story that is part fantasy and part travelogue.

Peter & Ernesto: A Tale of Two Sloths, by Graham Annable, tells the story of two best friends who are nothing alike—Peter loves their tree and never wants to leave, while Ernesto loves the sky and wants to see it from every place on earth.

The Prince and the Dressmaker, by Jen Wang, finds Prince Sebastian hiding a secret life―taking Paris by storm wearing fabulous dresses as the Lady Crystallia―and relying on the brilliant young dressmaker Frances, who guards his secret but has dreams of her own.

Sanity & Tallulah, by Molly Brooks, features best friends who live on a dilapidated space station at the end of the galaxy―but when Sanity creates a definitely-illegal-but-impossibly-cute three-headed kitten, the havoc it wreaks may mean the end of their outer space home.

Many, many thanks to judges Faith Roncoroni, Tameshja Brooks, and Nola Pfau, who were assisted by Kids Read Comics and A2CAF co-founder Edith Donnell!

The winner will be announced on Friday evening, June 14 at the Ann Arbor District Library

can’t sleep. gonna talk abt the gym leaders for my homebrew pokemon region

couple of notes:

bc this region was conceived as a TTRPG setting the gym leaders are meant to be fought in any order (save for one who must be fought last), so they have rotating teams depending on how many badges a trainer already has. that said they all do still have an “ace” pokemon aka the toughest in their party and the one to watch out for. they have a low tier ace, mid tier ace, and high tier ace.

instead of typing, the gyms all have themes bc i think that’s fun

gym leaders my have pokemon not normally found in the region. they’re supposed to be experts in their field ofc! so it makes sense to me they’d be doing some traveling in their lives

all gym battles are best 2 outta 3. i might change that for higher level battles tho

all character names are subject to change bc i’m Bad At Names

ok! here they are in order of them being written down in my notes

Leader: Rex. he gives the Scale badge as his theme is reptiles

i already talked abt him and Luna here, but the tldr is that he’s v passionate abt pokemon husbandry, and is v active in school/education programs

low tier ace: Aron. mid tier ace: Seviper high tier ace: Kommo-o

Leader: Luna. she give the night badge as her theme is nocturnal pokemon

like i mentioned, i’ve talked abt her before. tldr she pulls double duty as gym leader and head librarian. she’s usually busy and always tired. ppl joke that booking a match w her is half the challenge

low tier ace: Duskull. mid tier ace: Umbreon. high tier ace: Noctowl.

Leader: Rowan: he give the Forest badge as all his pokemon are arboreal

he’s a v quiet and reserved man. his gym’s locations in Sharpford has him living in the midst of protected forests. he’s not a pokemon ranger himself, nor has he ever been, but he helps out w the nearby ranger bases throughout the woods. however unknown to everyone he’s being paid off by a poaching operation to turn a blind eye and help cover their tracks

low tier ace: Skwovet. mid tier ace: Hawlucha. high tier ace: Trevenant.

Leader: Trent. they give the Mud badge as their pokemon are amphibious.

big conservationist. actually did used to be a ranger before they decided to settle down and work in education. the biggest friendliest guy you’ll ever meet. their gym being in Fermat means it’s surrounded by swamp and forest on all sides. with their pokemon perfectly adapted for this environment they occasionally join the rangers on search and rescue missions. has a bad knee from their ranger days, but they doesn’t let that slow them down

low tier ace: Mudkip mid tier ace: Lombre high tier ace: Seismitoad.

Leader: Lily. she gives the Breeze badge as most her pokemon’s primary mode of transportation is flight

might be a bit of an airhead (cue laughter) but she’s deadly serious when it comes to competitions. the windy seaside Metrona City is the perfect place for windsurfing and kitesurfing, and thanks largely to Lily’s efforts in bring the sport to Salmar Metrona City is the region capital for the Pokeathlon

low tier ace: Wingull. mid tier ace: Yanma. high tier ace: Altaria

Leader: Edith. she gives the Garden badge as most of her pokemon are grass or fairy type to aid in, you know, gardening

the oldest gym leader. she’s been manning the Corda Town gym and overseeing its greenhouses for decades now, and she doesn’t plan on stopping anytime soon. she’s known to the younger locals as “Auntie Edith”. she’s also p traditional. she believes that the league, the contest circuit, and now this “pokeathlon” thing have gotten to big. too many people visit to watch the events in person, and then they decide to move here, so then more marsh needs to be paved over to build the homes, so now more ppl here are making a living off the tourism, repeat the cycle ad nauseam.

low tier ace: Petilil. mid tier ace: Ribombee. high tier ace: Muk - Alola

Leader: Priscilla. they give the Junk badge as they research “artificial” pokemon, many of which are said to be discarded trash and the like

many ppl avoid going to them last bc, 1: the gym is located kinda out of the way and 2: all this research involves a lot of ghost and psychic types so the area around their lab/gym miiiiiight be a lil cursed. Priscilla looks like your typical mad scientist and acts like one too, but rly they’re just super enthusiastic abt their work. they also don’t see why ppl are so scared of their gym like, just don’t make eye contact w any dolls you might see? make sure to turn off all of your electronics before you get too close? do not try to pick up any trash you might see. come on ppl, it’s just basic safety here

low tier ace: porygon. mid tier ace: porygon2. high tier ace: porygon-z

Leader: Cora. she’s the only leader you have to fight last. gives the Terrain badge bc she specializes in terrain/weather/status effects and bc in order to have earned the right to face her you must’ve travel Salmar far and wide.

she’s the last gym leader bc her battle style is highly technical so it can only be preformed using higher level pokemon + it gives trainers time to master their own skills before facing her. her gym is in the capital of Salmar; Harmony City. she’s a p big celebrity but she always has time for new challengers. she’s been known to cancel and fully refund events/meet-ups if it means making scheduling a battle easier. another reason she’s located in Harmony City specifically is bc it’s the starting point for Victory Road. its docks are the only ones that take ppl to Bolbar island. from there spectators are taken to the league stadium, and trainers are dropped off to navigate their way to Coda as they choose

for now her ace is a klefki as i remember when those little Fucks owned the meta. it’s subject to change tho as i dig more and more into the pokerole meta

JULIO CORTÁZAR, AKEJANDRA PIZARNIK Y LA MAGA DE RAYUELA.

Alejandra Pizarnik es quizás la poeta argentina envuelta por más mitos y misterios: su vida, sus amistades, sus amores y su muerte siempre dieron que hablar a la par que su literatura. Su obra la puso a la altura de los grandes escritores de su época, y con algunos de los cuales tuvo una relación de amistad, como es el caso de Julio Cortázar. Alejandra Pizarnik y Julio Cortázar se conocieron en París en 1960, cuando ella viajó por primera vez. Alejandra y Julio se conocieron tal vez en Pont des Arts, una mañana, casi por accidente. “Andábamos sin buscarnos pero sabiendo que andábamos para encontrarnos...” Casi no hablaron. Pero se enamoraron con esa mezcla de asombro y distancia que suele unir a los amigos. Alejandra estaba sola y se sentía sola; había viajado a Europa luego de atravesar por un cúmulo de frustraciones. Muy pronto se hicieron evidentes, entre ellos, grandes y sutiles afinidades. La verdad no está en los libros sino en la piel, en las miradas, en las ramas de los árboles, en los puentes sobre el río neblinoso y en las amadas palabras cotidianas. La amistad se fue cocinando mediante una infinidad de gestos de extrema delicadeza y con una mutua actitud de ternura vigilante. Desde entonces y hasta la muerte de ella, tuvieron una amistad profunda, de la que también mucho se habló, muy cercana en París y a distancia mediante cartas, entre París y Buenos Aires. La escritora Alejandra Pizarnik fue la primera en declararse como la fuente de inspiración, ella misma pronunció “La Maga soy yo”. Incluso algunos arriesgan que el personaje la Maga pudo haber estado inspirado en ella, algo que Cortázar mismo desmintió en cartas que explicaban que para 1960, Rayuela (Sudamericana, 1963) ya estaba escrita. Una de esas cartas para su amiga Ana María Barrenechea en 1982, dice textualmente “Alejandra nunca tuvo nada que ver con el personaje de la Maga”. Tiempo después salió a la luz el nombre de Edith Aron, quien para muchos es realmente Lucía, o La Maga, como mejor se le conoce. Pero esta ya es otra historia. Baste decir que Edith ya anciana, reconoció que algunos hechos contados por Cortázar en Rayuela son coincidentes con su relación allí, pero que ella en nada se pareció jamás a la Maga, que es un personaje ficticio.

Hay una anécdota que no tuvo tanta trascendencia que, de haber terminado de otra manera, podría haber causado que uno de los libros más importantes de la literatura argentina jamás se hubiera publicado: Rayuela. Está confirmado que Alejandra estuvo a punto de perder los originales de esa mítica novela, cerca de impedir que se publicara. Y que fue posiblemente su primera lectora. En esa dirección lo confiesan diferentes amigos de la escritora en el Capítulo 4 de Memoria Iluminada, dedicado a la vida y obra de Pizarnik, un documental que se emitió en el canal Encuentro: “Julio Cortázar, su gran amigo, no tenía quién le pase a máquina Rayuela”. “Para que tuviera un poco de plata, le dio Rayuela para que tipee”. Según detalla en el documental el poeta y artista Fernando Noy, quien fue amigo de Alejandra en esos años, ella extravió los originales en su desordenado departamento, lleno de papeles, y cuando Cortázar la llamaba para recuperarlos se negaba a atender el teléfono. “—Alejandra, ¡es Cortázar! —No, no, decíle que no estoy. “Estoy buscando los originales de Rayuela y no los encuentro”. Así recrea Noy los diálogos que mantenía con la escritora mientras ella no podía encontrar la única copia de Rayuela que existía en ese momento. “Nada de su tiempo y de su vida era habitual y predecible”, explica. Pero entonces… Si Alejandra Pizarnik, encargada de pasar a máquina por primera vez Rayuela, perdió los papeles, ¿cómo llegó la novela a ser publicada y convertirse en el libro célebre que consagró a Cortázar y que miles y miles de lectores disfrutan hasta el día de hoy? Pizarnik finalmente halló los papeles en su departamento y se los devolvió a Julio, que quizás los pasó a máquina él mismo o encomendó la tarea a alguien más responsable. Esta historia puede parecer otro de los mitos que rodean a la figura literaria de Pizarnik, pero son varios de sus allegados y amigos los que la relatan, y resulta verosímil cuando explican también el modo en el que la poeta vivía: según ellos dicen, todo lo “doméstico” y “terrenal”, como hacer un trámite o prepararse la comida, le molestaba mucho, porque ella solo quería vivir por y para la poesía.

Como muestra de su relación, dos cartas, posiblemente las últimas entre ambos.

Carta de Pizarnik a Cortázar

(Fragmento)

“PD: Julio, fui tan abajo. Pero no hay fondo.

Julio, creo que no tolero más las perras palabras. La locura, la muerte. Nadja no escribe. Don Quijote, tampoco.

Julio, odio a Artaud (mentira) porque no quisiera entender tan sospechosamente bien sus posibilidades de la imposibilidad.

Me excedí, supongo. Y he perdido, viejo amigo.

De tu vieja Alejandra que tiene miedo de todo salvo (ahora, ¡Oh, Julio!) de la locura y de la muerte. (Hace dos meses que estoy en el hospital. Excesos y luego intento de suicidio -que fracasó, hélas).

P.D. En el hospital aprendo a convivir con los últimos desechos. Mi mejor amiga es una sirvienta de 18 años que mató a su hijo.”

—Alejandra

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Carta de Cortázar a Pizarnik.

“París, 9 de septiembre de 1971

Mi querida, tu carta de julio me llega en septiembre, espero que entre tanto estás ya de regreso en tu casa.

Hemos compartido hospitales, aunque por motivos diferentes; la mía es harto banal, un accidente de auto que estuvo a punto de… Pero vos, vos, ¿te das realmente cuenta de todo lo que me escribís? Sí, desde luego te das cuenta, y sin embargo no te acepto así, no te quiero así, yo te quiero viva, burra, y date cuenta que te estoy hablando del lenguaje mismo del cariño y la confianza –y todo eso, carajo, está del lado de la vida y no de la muerte. Quiero otra carta tuya, pronto, una carta tuya. Eso otro es también vos, lo sé, pero no es todo y además no es lo mejor de vos. Salir por esa puerta es falso en tu caso, lo siento como si se tratara de mí mismo. El poder poético es tuyo, lo sabés, lo sabemos todos los que te leemos; y ya no vivimos los tiempos en que ese poder era el antagonista frente a la vida, y ésta el verdugo del poeta. Los verdugos, hoy, matan otra cosa que poetas, ya no queda ni siquiera ese privilegio imperial, queridísima. Yo te reclamo, no humildad, no obsecuencia, sino enlace con esto que nos envuelve a todos, llámale la luz o César Vallejo o el cine japonés: un pulso sobre la tierra, alegre o triste, pero no un silencio de renuncia voluntaria. Sólo te acepto viva, sólo te quiero Alejandra”. Escribíme, coño, y perdoná el tono, pero con qué ganas te bajaría el slip (¿rosa o verde?) para darte una paliza de esas que dicen te quiero a cada chicotazo.

—Julio

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

(El 25 de septiembre de 1972, Alejandra aprovechó un permiso del psiquiátrico y se suicidó con una sobredosis de Seconal Sódico.)

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Entre varios poemas que le dedicó Cortázar a Alejandra, este breve y sentido, lo escribió a modo de despedida.

“Alejandra Puesto que hades no existe, seguramente estás allá, último hotel, último sueño, pasajera obstinada de la ausencia. Sin equipajes ni papeles, dando por óbolo un cuaderno o un lápiz de color. – Acéptalos barquero: nadie pagó más caro el ingreso a los Grandes Transparentes, al jardín donde Alicia la esperaba”.

—Julio Cortázar

8 libros famosos no solo por su contenido

No es exagerado ni imprudente afirmar que a menudo los libros sobreviven a pesar de sus autores. Existen numerosos ejemplos de verdaderas obras de arte que consideramos imposible creer que haya elaborado una persona más cercana a la vulgaridad y a la locura que a la genialidad absoluta. En otros casos, los autores han sido ignorados y su reconocimiento les ha llegado después de muertos. También conocemos anécdotas de autores que se han volcado en escribir un libro que se ha hecho más famoso por cuestiones que traspasan cualquier interés literario y la inmortalidad y el reconocimiento les llega por aspectos que nada tienen que ver con la historia que cuentan. Pero si de algo estamos seguros los lectores es que los libros suele ser las víctimas, testigos de las manías, juegos y trampas que nos ofrece el autor muchas veces a su pesar.

1. Rayuela, de Julio Cortázar. El libro cuenta las andanzas de Horacio Oliveira en París tras los pasos de su amante Lucía o la Maga (inspirada en una amante suya llamada Edith Aron). Horacio y Lucía mantienen una relación amorosa desigual porque mientras ella lo ama apasionadamente, él se siente más atraído por las discusiones sobre política y moral. El libro ofrece tres opciones de lectura, a pesar de ser creado mucho antes de que la tecnología digital abra nuevos caminos en la lectura. Una de las opciones es leer el libro según el orden natural de los capítulos. Otra alternativa es seguir la lectura guiada que propone el autor en una que aparece en el prólogo. Finalmente, la tercera opción es libre, el lector puede leer el libro como considere.

2. El nombre de la rosa, de Umberto Eco. Las investigaciones sobre una serie de crímenes cometidos en una abadía benedictina son la excusa para ofrecernos una visión de la situación sociocultural del Occidente del siglo XIV: hambre, corrupción, abusos de poder y el lugar que ocupaba la cultura en unas seiscientas páginas. Por otra parte, podemos encontrar una serie de guiños a los autores predilectos de Eco. El personaje principal, Guillermo de Baskerville se apellida como la ciudad donde se ubica el libro el perro de los Baskerville, de Conan Doyle, autor de la serie de Sherlock Holmes. Otro personaje, Jorge de Burgos, es un homenaje a Jorge Luis Borges.

3. La Cenicienta consiguió casarse con el príncipe a pesar de padecer infancia miserable, infeliz y aparentemente sin salida, en eso coinciden todas las versiones. Pero Charles Perrault, el pedagogo de la corte francesa, no pretendía hacer creer que el zapatito que la joven perdió en el baile era de cristal. Un error de escritura hizo que veurre (cuero) se convirtiese en veutre (vidrio).

4. Cien años de soledad, de Gabriel García Márquez. La historia del origen, evolución y extinción total de la saga de los Buendía “condenados a cien años de soledad” llegó a China en el año 2011. Anteriormente se habían publicado muchas versiones no autorizadas y así que se puede decir que en este país conocen la obra maestra del premio Nobel colombiano desde hace bien poco tiempo.

5. El guardián desde el centeno, de J.D. Salinger. La peculiar historia de un joven de dieciséis años que tras ser expulsado de su colegio vagabundea solo mientras lo cuestiona todo y a todos fue el libro de referencia de varios asesinos. El más conocido es el hombre que acabó con la vida de John Lennon. Los otros dos son el que asesinó a la actriz Rebeca Schaeffer y el que intentó matar a Ronald Reagan. Otro dato curioso sobre el libro es que en la primera traducción al español de 1951 se tituló El cazador oculto.

6. La historia interminable, de Michael Ende. La historia del libro mágico capaz de convertir al lector en un héroe para salvar la Fantasía de la Nada que lo destruye todo tenía como propósito principal reivindicar la ficción en un momento bastante crítico. En los años 60 en Alemania se rechazaba toda publicación que no fuese realista y comprometida y Ende, cansado de justificarse sin éxito, se marchó a Italia. Allí terminó el libro desde el cual se dirige al lector para destacar la importancia de los libros, el valor de la amistad y la frágil frontera entre la verdad y la mentira. Como no podía ser de otra manera, en la versión original el libro se imprimió en dos tintas: en rojo cuando se habla del protagonista y en color verde cuando los hechos se trasladan en Fantasía. Además, hay que destacar que las primeras palabras del libro están escritas al revés y que cada capítulo empieza por una letra del alfabeto siguiendo un orden lógico.

7. 1984, de George Orwell. En una sociedad futurista un hombre decide rebelarse ante un gobierno totalitario que controla incluso los pensamientos de todos los ciudadanos y los castiga duramente si no se someten a sus órdenes. El autor tituló esta distopía en un principio 1980, pero como ser retrasó cuatro años en publicarse tuvo que cambiar el título.

8. Mi lucha, de Adolf Hitler. En 1925 se publicó este libro donde se combinan elementos biográficos con toda una apología en defensa de una ideología política del nacionalsocialismo que puso las bases del régimen alemán. En un principio se vendieron pocos ejemplares pero cuando Hitler asumió el gobierno de Alemania las ventas se dispararon y llegó a ser el autor más próspero de su país. En aquella época, era muy frecuente que el libro fuera un regalo de bodas y también los estudiantes que se graduaban recibían uno. El título llama la atención, pero el original era Cuatro años de lucha contra la estupidez, las mentiras y las cobardías, hasta que lo cambiaron.

COVID-19 spreads to more countries as China sees cases drop to lowest level in weeks

New Post has been published on https://apzweb.com/covid-19-spreads-to-more-countries-as-china-sees-cases-drop-to-lowest-level-in-weeks/

COVID-19 spreads to more countries as China sees cases drop to lowest level in weeks

The coronavirus spread to ever more countries and world capitals Monday — and the U.S. death toll climbed to six — even as new cases in China dropped to their lowest level in over a month.

A shift in the crisis appeared to be taking shape: Hundreds of patients were released from hospitals at the epicentre of the outbreak in China, while the World Health Organization reported that nine times as many new infections were recorded outside the country as inside it over the past 24 hours.

Alarming clusters of disease continued to swell in South Korea, Italy and Iran, and the virus turned up for the first time in New York, Moscow and Berlin, as well as Latvia, Indonesia, Morocco, Tunisia, Senegal, Jordan and Portugal.

The worldwide death toll topped 3,000, and the number of those infected rose to about 89,000 in 70 countries on every continent but Antarctica.

Global health officials sought to reassure the public that the virus remains a manageable threat.

“Containment is feasible and must remain the top priority for all countries,” WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said.

Around the world, the crisis reshaped the daily routines of millions of people.
