Marcelino
Pumpkin Seeds · Bibiana Collado Cabrera
En un entorn rural i pobre sense nom, enmig d’una Espanya negra, la tendresa i el respecte entre les persones compensen moltes deficiències. The story of Marcelino —contada en la veu d’un gran home que recorda la seua vida— és un despullament entre la por, the pain, la masculinitat i l’amor. Una gosadia, la de fer parlar un home que al llarg de la seua vida no trobà les paraules. Una novel·la profunda i plena d’humanitat. LOURDES TOLEDO
when the world sleeps / Quan el món dorm
Francesca Albanese · Galaxia Gutenberg / Paper Tiger
La relatora especial de la ONU sobre la situación de los derechos humanos en los territorios palestinos ocupados, Francesca Albanese, He has been speaking out for years in his denunciation of the genocide that Israel is perpetrating against the Palestinians., with the support and complicity of the United States and some European powers. Making clear what a GENOCIDE is is one of Albanese's great purposes in this book, to support, without any doubt, that what Israel perpetrates in Gaza is a genocide in every letter, broadcast live, with light and stenographers. Detaching Judaism from the state of Israel is another of its objectives, since the Israeli government crookedly claims to be the universal representation of Judaism in order to accuse anyone who dares to criticize its actions of being ANTI-SEMITE..
Albanese is an experienced jurist but she spares us the cumbersome legal language because when the world sleeps addresses us, to civil society, the only one that seems to have not completely lost its moral compass and humanitarian conscience. The author collects the teachings of the people who have opened her eyes regarding the Palestinian question over the years: Palestinian friends, of course, but also Jewish intellectuals who understand Israel's actions as an extension of European COLONIALISM. Another key word from this book, next to APARTHEID: the system implemented by the colonizing power—Israel—, invited by the previous colonists—the British—, to end up expelling or subjugating the population that has inhabited that land for generations. A territory buried in pain that two peoples that carry a collective trauma have been forced to share. Albanese herself is placed within the story because she lived her good years in Jerusalem., He saw firsthand how Palestinians were expelled from their homes and seeks to, through it, let's recognize our own Western prejudices.
She wants to x-ray the situation and explain how she reached the conclusions she reached., but also to draw us what the Palestine he knew was like before the Hamas attacks of 7 October. Violated by bulldozers, walls, checkpoints, Israeli settlers and soldiers, Yeah, but also full of life. Theodor Adorno thought it would be impossible to write poetry after Auschwitz; hoy, seeing the victims turned into genocides, many of us have lost faith in humanity. Francesca Albanese is one of the few pillars to cling to so as not to completely lose hope. S.M.
