Inventory of some lost things
Judith Schalansky · Cliff · 2021
Inventory of some lost things It is a book halfway between an essay and a personal chronicle that covers some cultural treasures that have been submerged in oblivion., the deterioration of time or destruction at the hands of humans, but those we can trace in historical or literary documents. Thanks to the tour offered by Judith Schalansky, We can reflect on the loss and importance of memory by reliving the importance of these twelve treasures lost forever with a continuity, thanks to literature, history and our own imagination.

“Any good man from Madrid always thinks about the extermination of the social class to which he does not belong”. The Castle in front of the Commune. Fascists vs reds. Demonstrations and internet forums as weapons of mass destruction. There are Santiago and Ramiro, actors and witnesses of a crazy city where naivety has been eradicated and love has become a privilege. S.P

C3PO at King Philip's court
Pedro Vallin · Arpa · 2021
The last ten years of Spanish politics can be explained by using the android of Star Wars, of Matrix pills, of the Oedipus Rex investigations or the Media Markt slogan opening new perspectives and plausible futures. We qualify, One of the most lucid journalists in this country can do it, bringing out his deep knowledge of contemporary culture and the functioning of the state machinery., about the political intertwinings and about the human condition in general. Vallín takes out his laser sword to mercilessly attack the journalistic guild—endogamous and inconsequential—, to political imbecility—from which he saves José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero—, to the Madrid Court—centralist and absorbing—, more aware of the numbers than the speech, to the vermin that bustle in the sewers of the state in connivance with high places, and to the Constitutional Court, worn out and discredited by his descent into the mud of politics. C3PO at King Philip's court points the finger at the dynamics and atrophies of a complex world in which a Spanish democracy that can be greatly improved is inserted. Their sharp analyzes discover that the reactionism that reigns in Spain today is a consequence of the unfinished resolution of 15M and the Procés, that Spain is a solid state in a failed nation, that neoregionalism spurred by the success of Teruel Exists in the last elections draws a new crisis of the two-party system, that the scarcity of firm certainties explains the success of simplifying discourses about the confusing contemporary reality, that with the dismantling of the Soviet Union the fear of communism disappeared, and with him, incentives for a solvent welfare state, that the definitions related to our sexual identity, territorial, ideological or class (become a central political issue) They are more useful to third parties than to ourselves, and that generational war has replaced class struggle. Much to think about condensed in journalistic pieces that prestige the profession. S.M.
