How To Build A Dining Table

poet

At the end of 2010 and before 2011 in his first year allegedly wailing weeping and damn, I want to thank our readers, regular or occasional visitors followers of this blog, the attention I have been dispensed and, especially, comments, questions and observations that have been the shipping details and have attempted to answer, where possible.

Blogs are now a fruitful reality, through which people we do not know, sometimes far apart geographically, we formed a kind of spiritual and cultural community, where we present experiences, feelings and knowledge, to arouse confidence interest, complicity, or at least mutual curiosity.

For me, as for many others to write a blog is a way of life, to express, to entertain myself and say what I think. Baltasar Gracian said that the journey of life there are three seasons: the first is to talk with the dead (the books), the second, with the living, the third himself. Apart from that there are many great books live more than most mortals, I think, daring to clarify the thinking of the learned Jesuit of Aragon, which is good not to lock itself and maintain with others, even if distant, a relationship that, at least for me, today, is very rewarding.

So the prospect of renewed energy to start with a new season blogger, I wish everyone, dear readers, health and happiness for 2011 (it seems naive to me also wish you prosperity). And I hope, thought added to the traditional formula, not cejéis in your quest or need to know more things, whether through lectures, discussions or travel. Curiosity is certainly not equivalent to happiness but mitigates the loneliness and smooth, as Montaigne would say "the wrinkles of the spirit" and that, when they have crossed the ports of maturity, as in my case, it is enough.

to everyone, at heart, Happy 2011.

Carmen de Burgos (Colombine), a life of film

" English beauty is a kind [...] nose, thin and gentle [...] mouth, static, schoolgirl, with two corners fine chin [...] a happy childhood with a hole subtle [...] [...] as if she remained alive in his portrayal of girl " ( Ramón Gómez de la Serna )

suspect that for the present generation readers, the name of the writer Almeria Carmen de Burgos (Colombine) (1867-1932) is almost unknown. His works are very abundant, were banned during the Franco regime and this has contributed to the almost universal neglect of the literary figure, which, however, is coming out in recent years, thanks the publication of a couple of good biographies, at least one of them, excellent 1 and celebration of the centennial of the encounter between the writer and Ramon Gomez de la Serna in 1909 2.

My sudden interest in this writer comes from the accidental finding in a used bookstore, one of his novels "The antique " 3 , confused between a lot of literary novels pink and acquired for the modest price of 2 € 4 .

Before reading this book, I tried to find some biographical features of the author that, read and verified, I am amazed, besides for his immense culture, decision and firmness of character that reveal, in a traditionally prudish Spain, especially from the perspective of a woman's fundamental. Could qualify for a life of film, "novel" his biographer calls it Núñez Professor King, no less than that we usually have our French neighbors of their national myths such as Colette, Piaf or Coco Chanel. Biography



Carmen de Burgos Segui was born in Rodalquilar (Almería) on 10 December 1867, "in one of his great estates, of which he owns" 5 , daughter of Jose Burgos Cañizares, owner and Vice Consul Portugal in Almería, and I kept Nieto Nicasia 6, marriage she would have ten children .

He married very young, at sixteen, against the wishes of his father, Arturo Alvarez Bustos, journalist, son of the governor of Almeria, fourteen years her senior, settled in that city. His father owned a printing press that was made in the local newspaper, which allowed him to become familiar with that world 7. He had four children, of whom only survived him a daughter, Mary, who would, at the same time, a lot of satisfaction and also a lot of headaches. His husband, " the biggest mistake of my life " he was unfaithful and abusive in word and deed, and she decided to leave him to die the second of his daughters, marching with Mary at Madrid. Previously, in 1895, had begun studies of Education, graduating in 1898 at the Normal School of Teachers of Granada, where he keeps his record and run 8 Almeria poor girls' school "Santa Teresa" (1899-1901) .

Ramón Gómez de la Serna, who lived with a gripping story of love and work for twenty years, told us so, so sublimated his early days in Madrid: " Carmen came to Madrid to rebuild their lives, without resources, with her daughter in her arms, like those poor shawl with beating his son under the shawl in a piece of them and the child, the child who is a mild and high bulk which ends uplifting the stature of the mother, and it seems like that child embedded in stone, and one being built in it of Our Lady of the Almudena. Carmen, with her hat and her daughter thought always in arms, he studied mastermind, won his opposition to Normal mingling all that with articles on all sides and even strips at home writing a dressmaker who had a regular fashion. Carmen was then Carmen de Burgos and to give variety his name used pseudonyms naive and romantic "Raquel" Honorine "Marianela". Distressed, nervous, tired, writing for a living, until finally it was the first "editor" of newspapers. By then Augusto Figueroa, the great journalist, he said one day to the output of "Universal Journal:" You must sign Colombine "and she was called since then" Columbine. "

indeed arrived in the capital of Spain, Carmen de Burgos start writing literary essays and poems at the same time, again contested to obtaining a place at the Ecole Normale de Guadalajara (1901). In 1905 he obtained a scholarship for further studies abroad and in 1907 was commissioned to carry out the Department of Home Economics at the School of Arts and Industries 9 Madrid, where series travels to Madrid and the Deaf and Blind 10 . That same year he transferred to the Superior Normal School of Teachers in Toledo (perhaps as punishment following an article by her and published in the Heraldo de Madrid which did not satisfy the academic authorities), " where he was trapped in a hostile environment that surrounded it snares " new note 1 so can travel to madrid weekends only new note 2 In 1909 he moved to Madrid as Assistant Section of Literature at the Central Normal School Teachers 11, while playing, since 1910, the Chair of Home Economics in the College of Industrial Arts and Industries of Madrid. In January 1911 he was appointed special lecturer in the School of Arts and Crafts in Madrid, founded in 1871 and a month later obtained by opposing the position of tenured professor in the Department of Literature at the Normal School of Teachers in Madrid.

autodidact, polemicist, faced with the most reactionary sectors of society for their positions towards women's vote in favor of divorce and against the death penalty, his literary output is very numerous: more than one hundred novels and many short and long books of other genres including studies include political and social issues that currently exists, as well as travel books, biographies ("Larra", "Leopardi"), translations, educational studies, etc.. It was the first war correspondent in Morocco for the newspaper El Heraldo de Madrid, one of the most prestigious of the time

Despite its many activities had time to travel to Europe and America and to cultivate literary friendships and personal . Rafael Cansinos-Assens left us in his gossipy " a writer's novel " 12 a vision, a bit frivolous, the writer and the people who attended the literary salon on Wednesday, first in the street Eguilaz 7 and then at the mansion on Calle San Bernardo. Worthwhile, despite its superficiality, save a few paragraphs:

" is a woman, a modern young woman, who campaigned in favor of divorce and speaks in Republican circles, something new and interesting that deserves worth watching closely ... the first female journalist who does not is countess reports or blessed as Pardo Bazán ... "(1,200)

" Colombine, a woman tall brunette, pale and thick as a Valencia, dressed in street, but with an apron tight to the body. (1,200)

"Colombine The room is every day more lively ... Colombine is success and all come to hover around that blinding flame. Colombine is successful and can give it. Has the newspaper publisher has Sampere and is also ... a beautiful woman, a vulgar beauty, but attractive, ham rezogante and legend easy woman "(1. 391)

In policy field, Carmen de Burgos, embraced Republican principles, defended the inclusion of women in public life and voting female. To this end he founded the Crusade of English women, in imitation of the introduced in Portugal for his fraternal friend, Ana de Castro Osorio. Intellectually restless founded in 1908, the Alianza Hispano-Jewish media whose body was " Critical Review" in which prominent writers collaborated gestation, but then was of short duration.

On 9 October 1932, during a speech a meeting of Socialist Radical Circle in the street Francisco Ferrer 12 on a theme of "sex education", to finish the following sentence " At the wedding of the future , by taking the sayings, attended by the doctor, instead of confessor, fell ill, being transferred to his home in Nicasio Gallego 1 street where he died of a pulmonary edema complicated by heart failure. According to the newspaper "The Sun" 13 his last words were " I die happy because I die live the Republic Republican !".

Cansino Assens wrote: "He had a death secular glory, which makes it worthy to appear, as will appear, among the saints of the Republican calendar, with an aura of martyrdom. His last thought was for the Republic " (3366).

His civil burial at Madrid on 9 October, in the rain, Agran was an outpouring of grief.

Antiquarians

Ramón Gómez de la Serna was to this novel as one of the best of the author and among the best contemporary describes in detail and abundant detail the environment in which antique move that Carmen should know very well (apparently some cousins \u200b\u200bwere involved in the antiques), inventory for sale (jewelry, furniture, statues, china, silver, glassware, weapons, unique items) and employing tricks or skills to antiquarians "to fake." The bad thing about the novel, in my view is that, despite the change of scenery, Madrid, Paris and incursions by other cities, has a minimal story, which eventually bore the reader.

The book, written neatly, abounds in brilliant judgments and sentences that characterize the author, chronically ill, the tireless encouragement: "If it hurts one hand, I think worse is that I ache the two, it hurt me two, I think it hurt worse than cheese head, and when I hurt all I think the worst would be having died "or institutions Social: Al After the marriage the wife is a lady who comes to visit and never leaves . "

The novel also has enough of complaint regarding theft of English artistic heritage that the author concia closely during his "exile" in Toledo (withdrawal of the foreign sales of two paintings by El Greco for his owner, Count Guendulain). So the chapter that interested me most about this novel is the fourth " Old town" where he describes the journey that make marriage Toledo antiquarian for antiques, considered by pastors, administrators and even bishops as "a luxury useless " worth of discard in exchange for money in the legitimate exercise of their right to property " Antiquarians skillfully exploited this willingness and churches and convents were to them precious springs." Rescue

chapter IV another paragraph:

" Fabian entered the cathedral, looking suspicious of you think find a neglect to take something. I looked around and within a possibility. I knew from experience that it was all about price, not lack understood someone to replace a real object by another false . "

This view of the old city dam the greed of some and the prey of others, I think that is very close which gives us another writer of the time, Felix Navarro Urabayen (1883-1943), professor of literature at the Normal School of Toledo from 1911 to 1936 author of significant works such as "stripped Toledo " 14 .

I stay, wanting to read other works by this author that always characterized by its feisty character and his progressive spirit. I especially interested in his biography of Larra (Figaro , 1919), which many cite as a first exploration of the writer's life, but if someone recommended to me, I will read with interest any of the other his many works.

The blind ants, Ramiro Pinilla

H horn the appearance of his major novels, the series " green valleys, red hills " 1 , this novel by Ramiro Peña (Bilbao, 1923), " The blind ants "Nadal Prize and the Critics Award in 1961, recently reissued 2, was considered" as the quintessential Basque novel ", to the extent that, as pointed out by Fernando Aramburu in the preface to this new edition combines the stubborn mentality of the Basque people with a cruel fate" that has finally prevailed in the history of my countrymen. " Since then, attended the above, I am not likely to introduce pre-reading of this work, the only one I know of the author, however, as I am struggling reader, I have come, in earnest, at the end of this story really dark and airtight.

The argument seems to be taken from real events lived in "old times." Unleashed a furious storm on the coast Cantabrian thrown against the cliffs a British ship loaded with coal that is spread on the rocks. As a human wave, a whole people come at night to pick up the black gold they so desperately need to heat their homes, braving the risks of storm, cold, and wave height. Among those who go there is the family home Jaúregui Sabas, consisting of a father and his four children Fermín, Cosme, Bruno and Ishmael, but his brother Peter.

" There it was, hanging and indifferent, while others were still holding the rope, the father approached him and, from the edge of the mountain, grabbed his right hand and placed it tip earthy corner, while most of us said rope. Then, surrounded by (the father and the sack) of all, untied the rope and dropped it and opened the mouth of the bag, stretched their heads, we saw: bright carbon black irregular pieces, neither large nor small, the cold with only comforted him with enough power to launch the nations to war, greasy, materialization of the charity that provides warmth, grateful to us, his predestined unearthed ... "

rescue operation in the coal dies Fermín accidentally, one of the children. The remaining family members, which must be added the mother, Josefa, younger sister, Neil, and grandmother, strive to conceal the couple dead brother's body and the valuable cargo of ore, sheltered from the curiosity of the neighbors and the Civil Guard investigation.

Critics see in this novel Steinbeck formal influences (" The Grapes of Wrath") and Faulkner (As I Lay Dying ). As in the above, other family members separately Jauegui tell the story which they live and contemplate forming a prism narrative provides the reader with their different points of view. One of the characters for which the author seems to have a predilection, the youngest son, Ismael, fourteen years ago in Nexus connection between multiple accounts, but the relevant figure is the plot of the father, Sabas Jauregui, strong man, the "blind ant" careful to follow the route and transporting the load, overcoming all obstacles

"Always continuing. They stumble and rise. Are prepared to defeat everything that is put forward. They are invincible. Have been created with the slogan and meet. "

Like the blind ant, Sabas Jaúregui a man is invincible, unavailable to the failure: " will face a host of adversities, even child lost in the attempt to lead his family to despair and to exhaustion, if the ill muster against the people, to the end, not getting the fruit that has painstakingly pursued " 3 .

Well written, (I learned the meaning of Basque and Castilian words for me so far unknown as acullu "," hopper, "" cartola " gorse", not "gorse "or" talo "), with some artificiality in some dialogues and ruminations of the characters, and perhaps some anachronism (the quote from the movie" The Three Musketeers "), with a solid plot, dark as coal, is, despite the effort that has been reading an interesting novel, which, as the author himself acknowledges in the preface written on the occasion of this new edition, will have supporters and detractors but in any case leaves reader indifferent.

Como tumbarte en esta tumbona, y besarte en los besos de la tarde atardecida. Mecida por la brisa, llorando de alegría tibia y silenciosa, me pregunto por qué me castigo con el silencio de mis propias palabras, cuando al escribir me expando irremediablemente. Para qué castrarme, para qué repudiarme, cuando siendo lo más hermoso que tengo, cuando doy alas a mi alegría, a mi alma, esta me responde con mil ideas sólidas y blanditas, flexibles y firmes, perfectas en su imperfección.

Cui-Ping-Sing, Agustin de Foxa

morning I read in the press (in Madrid there is no evening papers) that the Santander Bank Foundation has published a book of Agustin de Foxa 1 containing little literary material known by this author, famous during the civil war and its aftermath, along with one of his plays in verse, best known Cui-Ping-Sing, which these days has earned the praise of Luis Maria Anson 2 and that According to this account, the director liked film, Juan Antonio Bardem, at odds ideologically with the Count de Foxa.

This news has reminded me that I was in my youth Foxá reader in an edition of his Complete Works (Volume I retain only) that English Press published in 1964. Have read, when you are twenty years to this Phalange official author, is one of those peccadilloes of youth over time has been occupied and which dissipate at this point in my life I have nothing to be ashamed.

Agustín de Foxa (1906-1959) is remembered today for his work than "very well done and something antañona" 3 for his rudeness and irony: "We rolled out fascism in Spain and let us go to live abroad", possibly blinded, under its apparent cynicism, a sensitive temperament. Diplomat since 1930 "a luxury in the diplomatic service," as he defined himself, was certainly hated by many college friends and mistreated by the ministry: "I sent back to the tropics, it is my certain death." I still remember seeing a picture of him posted on ABC where he saw his move to Madrid by air, and mortally wounded, lying on a stretcher. Augustine had a brother, Jaime, and seasoned pro Falangist hunter in the 60's of last century was much the "s boring" on English television (the only one then was) and came to be appointed civil governor of Toledo, where he is remembered also for his sentences, like that of "Toledo each time is farther away "to make explicit the communication problems that existed between Madrid and the Imperial City.

As I say, twenty years, I read Foxá (except for journal articles) and admit that I liked his poem "postmodern" románticoide classicism that was well suited to be recited "sotto voce" and thus linked with the girls that was the ultimate goal of my generation (and of which have happened then, I guess). I still remember some loose lines:

" And where is that boy of communion and hoop
today, my blood of man, like a ghost play"

"To think that after I morning there will still die

that under a bright blue sky, spring
indifferent to my house season
incarnate in the silk of the roses "

I especially liked that verse that began:

"Thank you, because you gave me your grace and guessed
teenager in your womb collegiate water "

That the "college within " brought me yours about the " mouth párvula song "sufferer, which helped to create an ideal model girlfriend that he was only in my fevered mind.

I also read, I think it's a stretch, his novel " Madrid, Czech cutting", completed in September 1937, civil war, a kind of chronic subjective history of the conflict, seen and judged by a young lifetime rights and a critic, Jaime Siles, see, in my opinion, too, "one of the best novels of the twentieth century."

But what I liked most was his Foxá verse drama "Prom Captain" (1944), romantic drama set in the scene of the Carlist wars and, above all, "Cui-Ping Sing, "some of whose verses memorized. This work was premiered in the Teatro Principal in San Sebastian during the civil war, on December 28, 1938, before an audience, I imagine, composed mainly Falangists uniformed military and their families, which would be somewhat shocked by so beautiful and delicate "chinoiserie." The argument of the book, succinctly stated as follows:

The sweet and beautiful Cui-Ping-Sing is the only daughter of Afo, a longtime trainer of fish. They live alone in a cabin in a remote area of \u200b\u200bthe Empire. The father refuses to fishermen suitors of his daughter as too little to her. A day comes to the humble cottage, Hoang-Ti, prime minister and favorite of the emperor, the prototype of every wise man learned in books. Commissioned by their sovereign comes to take you to the Palace portraits of the most beautiful girls from all corners of the Empire, so choosing between them would be his new wife. While Chang, the painter who accompanied him on his journey, set in the canvas, perfect features of the girl, Hoang-Ti and Cui-Pig-Sing will love each other, to the satisfaction of the elderly parent concerned.

Cui-Ping-Sing, my daughter
our bamboo hut and mud came
happiness;
not miss it like a swan
that touches a window at night
and is lost after

Hoang-Ti this "casting" for the girl and so is recognized the painter:

I love because it is perfect and clear
as astronomy. My youth

dusty book raises in his mouth

Love that is matched by the beautiful who asked his beloved:

you love me my lord?

What this answer shaky

About this hut will
Blue Palace
With my touch our children
Our bleeding edge
bedroom garden will
kisses fall into the hive or
roses will know your mouth strawberry
butterflies and bees will dance in the bridal lamp.

Love sensed by Hoang-Ti from centuries ago:

Listen
What other rare cherry world
your voice heard? On which planet
slow snow bronzes and saw your eyes
a million centuries ago Where were you?

finished their mission. Hoang-Ti and Chang have to return to the Emperor's Palace ells carrying with portraits of thirty girls pure, the most beautiful of the Empire. Hoang fears Cui-Pin-Sing is chosen to be Empress:

The other women but she is love.
The other pass,
look and kiss, they are blue lakes
on whose banks reflects the soul.
But she is not reflected
lake, drowning.
His flesh is immortal, is by far
and has lived for centuries with ours.
deserved
His chest feathers, or scales to protect
against the breeze in the morning.
has in her white fingers
key sources and dreams, his breath

polishes the mirror of the moon.

Huang-Ti think to hide the portrait, but it is impossible for the governor of the province where you live Cui-Pin-Sing has warned of its existence the Emperor. However, Chang convince the painter to shatter the beauty of his beloved in the material, deforming his smile.

On his return found that the atmosphere of the Court has changed. The tyrant Chancellor Liang, who hates Hoang-ti because years ago she refused to her niece as a wife, is the new favorite. Hoang-Ti is graciously received by the Emperor, who, impatient, began to contemplate the thirty portraits of the most beautiful women of the Empire. When looking at the portrait deformed Cui-Pin-Sing is attracted to his eye

His eyes wrapped me in silk
heart. Hot Kisses

I fly through the roof of the mouth

of their mouths torn But that breaks the harmony of her beautiful face and away from the preferences of the Emperor, while it approaches the love of Hoang-Ti:

Thanks, Fo-I, spirit of air, and genii
night.
Thank
severe shadows of my ancestors.
It's mine ... and forever.
My soul has two bloods,
my veins, two beats.

Hoang-Ti, which has left the Emperor, and left the court, lives with Cui-Pin-Sing, happy together for three years in the palace he had built on the old fisherman's hut , the girl's father, now deceased, but with the hidden fear that the sweet dream end abruptly. And so it goes. Chang, painter, confesses, including delusions, on his deathbed, deception and reveals where the couple is hidden. Known history, Liang, the powerful chancellor and rival of Hoang-Ti, tells the emperor who has to travel to the city where he lives willing to steal his wife.

Hoang-Ti, warned by his friend, the Astrologer the emperor, rejected the offer that makes him flee disguised as a fisherman and directed to prepare a welcoming banquet which should assist Cui-Pin-Sing. To save his love and escape the danger that stalks them, there is only one possibility of sacrifice: Cui-Pin-Sing shred her beauty, tearing his mouth with a knife, which is reached by love for her husband.

If, for you, I tear off my husband's mouth

break my smile.
But tell me
"disfigured my beauty, you still love me?

More than ever.
To get there, beloved,
to the distant peaks of love, we needed
pain.
already have. Tonight

mix the flesh and spirit.

Emperor arrives with his entourage, longing to behold the beauty of Cui-Ping-Sing. While they wait for the end of dressing for dinner, the conversation revolves around the torture traitors deserve. Finally comes the bride, but instead of seeing disfigured, appears more beautiful than ever :

Como infamous ... ..! Instead afearse

enhanced her beauty.

is more beautiful than ever.
was stronger than his ambition.

Turned into Empress, Cui Ping-Sing lives surrounded by pleasures and loved by her husband the Emperor. But this feels the bitterness of jealousy when it comes the memory of Hoang-Ti:

But first loved you. He had

your dawn of love, grace

your chest
intact and unspoilt
your eyes and flush your skin only knew
silk, air, water.
He enjoyed the silliness of your lips
the timid ignorance of your fingers to touch his body

transfigured touch on the touch
The routes taught you desire.

Jealousy that are fanned by the evil Chancellor Liang:

Hoang-Ti
should die Can not remember the law?
death penalty who usurp the thalamus of Prince
The lips that kissed your wife
should have the earth between his teeth .

Knowing sentenced to death, and Cui Hong-Ti-Ping-Sing are seen :

Hoang-Ti, Hoang-Ti ... shocked to see that troubles my heart

His face resembles that of the Empress, Our Lady. I accept the blame

La Novela de Hoy. "Honor Guard", in Martínez Olmedilla

Augusto Martínez Olmedilla from Madrid (1880-1965), to judge by reading his biography, was a writer with a letter that touched all styles: contemporary novels, stories, anecdotal novels, theater and several, according to his own classification, not counting their articles in newspapers and magazines, written over a thousand, in spite of which is now a forgotten author whose works are readily available at low prices on stocks selling books and on-line bookstores.

Examining the "underworld" in my library, I just found it a title Martínez Olmedilla, "Women of English Romanticism" 1 , brief biographical sketches of more or less famous women, written with fluency and amenity. However on my last visit to that box of surprises that is, every morning of Sunday, the flea market, I found, by chance, and bought it on purpose, for the modest price of 2 €, a short work of Martínez Olmedilla, " Honor Guard " published within the series' novels today "2 on June 12, 1931.

is in the first third of the twentieth century when it emerges in Spain a new editorial model popular collections of short fiction, which by its low cost, carried out massive print runs, it becomes the preferred reading in English and many cheapest form of entertainment. This collection of short literary collections (" Theatre La Novela," " The World Novel," " 's comic novel," " The Short Novel," "La Novela Semanal ") is being filed by the Council Scientific Research and to which the series that includes this short novel, "La Novela de Hoy , founded by Artemio Precioso, which, in 1928, alongside" The Novel Night "and the magazine" Thank ", members of the editorial package would be controlled by the powerful Latin American Company Publications (CIAP) in operation orchestrated by the banking Bauer and piloted by Pedro Sainz Rodríguez 3, which would be The director of this collection of short 4 literature.

Many years later, a longtime Rodriguez Sainz I wrote the following about his passage through CIAP:

" CIAP publishers that made ... came to be sections of an organic whole. Atlantis, for such popular publications such as La Novela de Hoy, which allowed the public taste humble little masterpieces of the most famous contemporary authors. It was I who personally took care of the direction of the novel of today, not because I had intended to make a selection of novelists of the epoch, but because it sought to purge it of a trend that today has become the epidemic of popular literature , of which at that time literature is called green and now, clearly and frankly, has become pornographic. I excluded most of a writer who specializes in that genre, although I must say that those authors compared to what is now displayed in stalls of books and journals, readings could be aimed at the Ursulines " 5 .

" honor guard" of Martinez Olmedo is not, of course, a small masterpiece, nor a novelette "peep", although it contains some expression of questionable taste (" I thought it was a clitoris with legs "), but rather a weaving of stories, supposedly funny that people are the protagonists to the theater, a medium that our author knew well (he wrote " Madrid's theaters. almanac of celebrity Madrid, published in 1947).

What most struck me is the language used, with some phrases and idioms, unusual or even unknown in our time. The 20 are, as the teacher has studied Perez-Rioja 6, a time of change where they live almost fossilized forms of colloquial language that refuse to die, starting with bold expressive witness and measure the times . In theater, specifically, where it develops action of the novel records the voices coming from outside, Gallicisms (" couplet," cabaret "," debut, "matinee " vedette "...) and to a lesser extent, Anglican (" dancing", " girl "...) and Italian (" clubhouse, "props "...). In this novel we find some of these strangers, " vaudeville," reprises "(reruns)," flirt " Soubrette (poor voice actress) "gentleman " been coat, marked in italics, to better distinguish them.

These neologisms on imports alternate with pure, traditional words and expressions, many of which have yet to come, more or less, to us, " If you were a man and not a Juan Lanas ..." (Male timid that lends to do everything you kindly send your spouse), " much I had noticed her as the Moro Muza " (in the unknown, anyone), "barbilindo (juveniles, precious cute and handsome) or others whose meaning is not as clear as water to a foot (do a task "anyone?), or is unusual," is seen as a nabob "(figuratively, very rich man") or whose use linguistic and precise meaning is unknown to modern man, " but it is possible that this girl ...?; tonga tonga Go with the girl, who gives them character!. Read

these forgotten authors holds some of the findings and helps to increase our vocabulary trite, but this only serves to show off to friends. So, dear reader / s of this blog, you recomiendo que leas un poco de todo, hasta “los papeles rotos de las calles”.

The House of Mirth, by Edith Wharton

" The greatest pleasure," wrote Gracian- is to read a book every day "even with the risk, complete the sentence, that this reading we find it boring , as is the case discussed today " The House of Mirth " novel by Edith Wharton, author of the above anything we had read and which is likely not return to read anything more in the future .

Edith Wharton (1862-1937), U.S. writer and designer, had a hectic love life. Married at twenty years, with Edgar Robbins Wharton, frequent infidelities of her husband led her to keep an affair with a journalist from the newspaper "The Times , William Morton Fullerton, who was bisexual and alternated this relationship with a Indian rajah. At the same time, Edith was also bisexual and was known romances with other famous women of her time, including the English-American poet Mercedes de Acosta had numerous lovers, the most famous Greta Garbo and Marlene Dietrich. Women

world, seated on the good society and an extensive knowledge of European culture-crossed the Atlantic sixty-six times, in 1907 settled in France, where she met Henry James, who is said was the most eminent his literary successors.

During World War I traveled on motorcycles all the front lines, describing that experience in a series of articles. Also developed a comprehensive social work recognized by the French Government the Legion of Honor. He died on December 11, 1937 in Saint-Brice sous Forêt small French town of Ile-de-France near Paris, where he lived from 1919

His most famous novel, maybe not the best, is " The Age of Innocence " ( The Age of Innocence) awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1921, of which there have been several theatrical and film adaptations, the latest version directed by Martin Scorsese in 1993, with Michelle Pfeiffer and Winona Ryder in the main female roles, the film that won an Oscar for her costume .

" The House of Mirth " (The house of mirth ) is his first major novel, written in 1905. Was published in installments, a very normal at the time, in the magazine Scribner's Magazine, January to November 1905. That same year, and as a book published by Charles Scribner's Sons, New York 1.

The novel's title is taken from Ecclesiastes, 7:4 " The heart of the wise inhabits the house of mourning, but the crazy inhabits House of Mirth", although it seems that she refused to include this quote on the cover of the first edition of his book and wanted the authors.

We said at the beginning of this post that we had tired of reading this book and it is not because it is misspelled. By contrast, the painting of environments and characters is achieved, especially the protagonist, Miss Lily Bert, a beautiful and ambitious young man, who, lacking property, plan to participate in New York society of rich and famous lover fun and relaxed and luxurious environment.

This is the first impression your love Lawrence Selden receives it, when incidentally found in Grand Central Station:

"The shape of the delicate ear, curly hair up - do a little polishing by artificial means? - the thick curtain of black lashes and straight ... everything in it was at once vigorous and exquisite, strong and weak. Selden had a confused idea that it must have been very expensive, many people ugly and poor had to be killed in some mysterious way to create . "

To Miss Bert, perhaps a transcript of someone close to the author herself, " liked to think of her beauty as a power for good, as something that would give the opportunity to reach a position from which they could exert some influence on a vague diffusion of refinement and good taste. He liked the pictures, flowers and sentimental novels and could not avoid the idea that possession of such things ennobled his desire worldly advantages. "

Lily is not easy to enter this world of luxury and elegance, as apart from maintaining a behavior according to social conventions, this kind of life is high costs, " single woman is paid in tips and playing letters, going to the best dressmakers, wearing the appropriate dress for each occasion and being always fresh, delicious and fun . "

I will not reveal which are the problems to be faced by the protagonist and what is the end of this classic American novel not to disturb potential readers. The truth is you do not fully understand just what are the differences between him and his admirer, Selden, a thoughtful man and little decided. Perhaps its different idea of \u200b\u200bwhat success is, as expressed in the following dialogue:

[Seldon] "Success ... What is success?. I am interested in your definition.
- Success? - Lily hesitated. Well, I guess life is to get everything you can. Is a relative quality, after all. Do not match your idea with mine?
- My idea? Absolutely! She sat up with sudden energy, rested his elbows on his knees and stopped the placid look at the fields. "My idea of \u200b\u200bsuccess he said, is personal freedom.
- Freedom? What concerns?
"Everything ... money, poverty, comfort and anxiety, all materials accidents. Maintain a kind of republic of the spirit of what I call success .

this reader, the only independent republic before it is advertised by a popular shopping center, they can not excite these feelings and sensations between people who hate the ugliness, discomfort and poverty and live in a showcase only social attentive to themselves, their luxury and comfort. Therefore, despite its serious literary, I must confess that I am bored this type of stories that convey anything but me is the indifference towards the world "lost?, Populated by unsympathetic and selfish beings. By the way, nor find in this novel ironic vision and offers fine critics who say the author of this social group that should know so well and so faithfully portrayed, perhaps, that if, with a touch of cynicism.

The world of yesterday, Stefan Zweig

confess that I really wanted to comment on this book suggestive title, from a day when, leafing through an old manual random Literary History 1 , I read that in addition to biographies, novels worked in a very personal and poet, Stefan Zweig, who I had a child and almost forgotten author, it was " one of the most important works of literature germana, fictionalized biography," The world of yesterday " which is, moreover, one of the most representative documents of our time. "

Then I saw rave about this work, including 2 Rosa Montero and Antonio Muñoz Molina 3 , but what moved me most has been reading the recommendations of good friends in whose wisdom and trust literary taste. I'll

discussing some features of the biography of Stefan Zweig, leaning as much as possible in reading his book (written in italics is taken from the original) and only minimally on other sources I cite at the end of the text.

Son of a wealthy family of industrialists of Jewish origin, Stefan Zweig, the second of two brothers, born in Vienna in 1881 - " In no other European city of culture, the desire was as passionate as in Vienna, promoted culture, food and even created by Jewish community "- and lived there until the end of World War I, going to the dismemberment of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, an event that gave him the feeling Zweig that whole ideal of life, an orderly world, " the security world " settlement.

Times were peaceful, Zweig writes in which being young " an obstacle to any career and only the old age became a advantage," which explains that the school had a distinctly authoritarian and that the Young was subject to the family, while pounding out a city full of inspiring attractions, theaters, museums, libraries, universities, music ... The young people of his generation " seemed to have a fever for knowledge and know everything that occurred in in field of arts and science ", especially " we read, we read a lot, everything fell into our hands " for updates, although" the best school where reported a better all the news was coffee. "

At age 16, Stefan, knew all the poetry of Baudelaire and Whitman and was an enthusiastic of the nascent work of Valery and Rilke. Like all youth cults of the time despised the sport, a "waste of time " and shied away fearfully the problem of sexuality, " because any form of free love or out of wedlock was against bourgeois decency ... that was, first, assume the existence of sexuality and its natural development in private, and, secondly, I did not recognize it under any circumstances public. " To channel the vexed extramarital sexuality-the male, it is understood, because women had to come to marriage " not only with the body intact but with the pure spirit " prostitution was a profession regulated like any other, the huge expansion in Europe before the Great War.

This time of glorious youth is summarized by the author: " as citizens enjoy more freedom than the current generation [the book was written in 1941 and published in 1944] ... we dedicate ourselves to our favorite art , follow our intellectual inclinations, shape our private life in a more individual and personal .... had, in fact, vastly more individual freedom and not only loved but also the we used .. had the sense of freedom and self-confidence. "

During the following years before the outbreak of the war, Zweig is a poet and storyteller who travels to bohemian Paris, the city of eternal youth "who as a young going there a year it saves a memory incomparable happiness throughout his life "and Belgium, where he met one of his idols, the poet Emile Verhaeren (1855-1916), one of the main founders of modernism" Emile Verhaeren was the first French poet who tried give Europe what Walt Whitman gave America: a statement of faith at the time, future. " He also met during the same time Leon Bazalgette and " silent, enigmatic and invisible " Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926) whose portrait trace human and writer with a master hand in the evocation of even the smallest details of his strange personality, " is wonderful that we had between us like poets." Through Verhaeren met Auguste Rodin (1840-1917), " great men are also more polite and yet those who live easiest way."

De Paris went to London where there is no fully acclimatized and then to Italy, Spain 4 , Belgium, Holland " change as the distance from the homeland, also changes the internal measure of things " America " in everything concerning the American culture were far behind in our Europe " , Africa, India, without ceasing to be, as noted by Luis Antonio de Villena, "a gentleman protected by family money " 5 and always having a way station in Vienna, a place of rest and work intervals between trips .

Rebuilding the spiritual atmosphere of the years before the First World War, Zweig, avid traveler, seen as a period of prosperity was apparent in all the cities of Europe: " the streets were wider, more luxury shops and elegant ... emerged everywhere new theaters, libraries and museums ... amenities such as bathroom and telephone, formerly privileged few, came to the petit bourgeois circles and since he had reduced the working day, the proletariat had been rising from below to participate, at least in small joys and comforts of life. Progress is breathed everywhere ... but not only cities but also people became more beautiful and more healthy through sport, to better food to shorter workday and even more intimate contact with nature .. Travel was cheaper and more comfortable ... bicycle, automobile and electric railways had shortened distances and had given the world a sense of space ... nobody, except the very poor, stayed home on Sundays. "

This world that seemed to herald a new dawn rose shattered when the 28 July 1914 fatal shot rang out in Sarajevo. " if we reflect calmly, we wonder why Europe went to war in 14, did not find no reasonable basis, not a single reason . " The people obeyed their superiors and were the war with blind faith that the sacrifice was inevitable.

cosmopolitan life and distrust take politicians Zweig vaccinated any patriotic enthusiasm, - " war needs a state of emotional excitement, enthusiasm required for the proper cause and the hatred of the enemy " - without the enormous and tragic war did shake his belief in the necessary unity of Europe. Refugee

itself, with the complicity of Rilke only for a time before this to go abroad, Zweig lives alone at home, hidden as a translator and proofreader in a library. An article " A Friends strange land" against the odds published in a German newspaper from Switzerland brings encouragement friend Romain Rolland (1866-1944) peace activist, who breathes enough encouragement to fight the word against the horrors of war. Write your drama "Jeremiah " plea for pacifism, and premiered in Zurich in 1918 .

After the collapse of the Habsburg, Stefan Zweig, who never discussed in this work that speaks of his private life, but which we know that by then was married to his first wife, Friderike, which already had two children from a first marriage, goes to live to a large house in Salzburg that he had bought during the war.

The postwar era and something very different. The world was not the same as before the war. " whole generation of young people had stopped believing in their parents, politicians and teachers: I read with suspicion any decree, any claim State." Inflation more persistent in Germany than in Austria, lasted until 1923, " nothing poisoned both the German people, nothing turned both matured and his hatred for both the advent of Hitler as inflation." Converted into a time of madness, all over Europe were altered the values \u200b\u200band not just the materials.

Since 1924, Stefan Zweig's personal life was rewarded with the arrival of an unexpected guest: success. During the 20's and early 30 century, Zweig became a celebrated author of best-sellers, which quickly translated into all European languages: the series' Builders world ", his short novels as" Amok "or" Letters from an Unknown "famous" stellar moments Humanity "(required reading in schools), and especially his work biographies of famous people: "To the biography of Marie Antoinette actually examined each and every one of the accounts to check their personal expenses, I studied all the newspapers and pamphlets of the time and I reviewed all records of the process until the last line ."

Interestingly, the explanation given by the author about his creative process of writing: " really easy for me to write and do it with fluency, in the first draft of a book Pen let it run its air and fantasize all dictated by my heart ... as a clean finish to put the first draft of a book starts for me the work itself, which is condensed and composing, a job that is never satisfied enough from one version to another ... This process of condensation and dramatization rather then repeated once, twice or three times in the galleys, and finally becomes a kind of game hunting: find a phrase, even a word, whose absence would not discriminate the accuracy and turn increase the pace. Among my literary tasks, to abolish is actually the most fun . "

The years between 1924 to 1933 Furon a relatively quiet day for Europe " traveling, rehearsing, we returned to discover Europe, the world ... capable of influence and effectiveness could be advertised for years what had become the fundamental idea of \u200b\u200bmy life, the spiritual union of Europe. " Salzburg, where he lives during these years Zweig who visit Russia and other countries, had become not only the artistic capital of Austria but the world. The most famous writers, musicians, painters, authors, scholars in all parts of the globe you are visiting and your guests and help increase the great library had been collecting autographs (and buying) of the great masters of all time .

And more years elapsed, working and traveling, learning, reading, collecting and enjoying all this ... until it was Hitler " so well known trick to force everyone promises that the day he came to power, joy seized more disparate sides" and destroyed the literary life in Germany. Authors' works were banned non-Aryans and the name of Stefan Zweig, like many others, was banned.

When in 1934, police searched his home then, in early 1934, a house search was a terrible affront "Zweig realized that Austria was lost and began to prepare for departure country, " for me freedom is the most important world. " He lived in London " physically, not to the soul " preoccupied attending events leading up to World War II .

In 1936, on his way to America, invited to give lectures, the ship calls at Vigo, in the hands of Franco, and saw standing before the City Council and formed a " some youths led by priests and dresses with their peasant clothes, probably brought from the neighboring villages "and go see them again, soon, wearing uniforms and equipment of soldiers, wondering: Who organizes these young anemic?, Who pushes them to fight the powers that be?, Who provides and pays for weapons and equipment? And answers himself: " was a new power that he wanted the domain, the same power acting here and there, a power he loved the violence, which needed the violence and he considered weak and outdated ideas that we all professed and for which we lived: peace, humanity, understanding ... who took advantage of naive idealism of youth to their power and their business " 6 .

In 1938 he produced the annexation of the Republic of Austria to the Reich, to the international passivity. Hitler became owner and master of your city and Zweig, private Austrian passport had to ask the British authorities stateless passport. With the invasion of Poland in 1939, "more intimate mission to which he had devoted all the strength of my conviction for forty years, the peaceful union of Europe, had failed ." Zweig moved to the United States and then to Argentina and Brazil.

The rest of his life is not in this book, but we can not tell. About to turn sixty, although not lacking editors or readers, fine and delicate sensibility was not able to assimilate so much disaster and 22 February 1942 committed suicide with barbiturates, along with his second wife, Lotte, in his flat in Petropolis, near Rio. The couple had prepared everything carefully so as not to disturb anyone, left money to pay the rent and salaries of employees, willing his will, precise instructions on what must be done with his stuff, who would care for her dog, recent texts corrected and ready to be published and a pile of letters stamped envelopes and properly dismissed, the image of both embraced in his deathbed, still impresses .

As Rosa Montero writes 7, what is truly important is not the act end of a person who no doubt believed that his life and his world were exhausted, but they, over time, hence the renewed relevance of his message, Zweig was right in claiming their right to live peacefully in a civilized European territory open to the world. His was, in the troubled years of the war, a light in the darkness.

Aphorism Gracian does?

I read in the newspaper "El País " of September 19 Juan Cruz a text entitled " Aldecoa " the first paragraph begins like this:

"As he spoke Aldecoa Ignacio, one of the best English writers of the twentieth century, Mario Camus, who was his friend and also the lucky director of the film version of his novel " Birds of Baden Baden " he recalled yesterday a French saying: "We have to talk a lot about all things, a little about yourself and nothing else." If you were to meet this that there would television in this country. "

At first I was struck by the lack of specificity of this aphorism (reflection, maximum or above), referred to as " a French saying," no known author attributions, which shows, by the issuer (or editor), some forget the exact source. I thought intuitively recognize in this wise decision, which I myself have sometimes used in colloquial language, the paternity of our Baltasar Gracian and I rushed to check.

I have reviewed this purpose, the works of Jesuit Aragonese I have to reach in my library, including "The Discreet ", in editing the Library of English Authors 1, and subsequent "Oracle Manual Art and Prudence I have on the issue cited in the New Library of Authors Aragoneses (critical edition of Romera-Navarro) 2 and modern, with the title somewhat bastardized, (" The art of prudence. manual Oracle) Today's editions 3.

None of these issues I found (or have not managed to find) the exact phrase, as the article's transcribed, although lengthy discourses on the individual.

Thus, in "The Discreet ", "enhancement" V " Man news plausible, the author (masquerading as Lorenzo Gracian) discovers the discreet men: "They are found men who appreciate all said and seasoned observers around gallant fact, all current news of cuts, and campaigns . These are the oracles of curiosity and science teachers in this tasteful. " In another "enhancement" (XIX) "Female notante judicious and" commends such a man: " The wise man and notante (They are found few and therefore more unique) then becomes master of any subject and object .. . All we discover, note, notes, comes to and comprehend, defining each thing by its essence . "

By more laconic, in the "Oracle" computable between the best and most influential works of English and European thought " 4 and specifically in aphorism 117" Never talk about whether "thanks presents a proposal close to what we, the latter could be a trivialization. Transcribe the aphorism:

" Never talk about itself. Or have to praise, which is headed, or has to decry, it's smallness, and being guilty of sanity in which he says is worth the they hear. If this be avoided in familiarity, much more lofty positions, where they speak together, and passes through stupidity and any semblance of it. The same problem of sanity is talking about the present, because of the danger of hitting one of two pitfalls: to flatter or reproach. " Gracian

influences most of the French moralists of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, as Madame de Sable, La Rochefoucauld, La Bruyere and others. It is possible that the writings of some of them are, in French, the phrase, as has been transcribed into Castilian. I've reviewed, at a brisk pace, the "Reflections or moral judgments and Highest "Duke of La Rochefoucauld and have found no equal, although several in the same line preventing the excesses in the conversation.

The rotation between centuries, Schopenhauer and Nietzsche are the most grateful readers Gracian. Schopenhauer, heir to the pessimism of Aragon, is a lot like aphorism "Never talk about yourself "

"We must not abandon to commend ourselves, we have much right to it. Because it is so common as rare vanity and merit, that every time we seem to praise us, even if only indirectly, all bet a hundred to one that expressed by our mouth was vanity, which is not sufficient reason to make him understand how ridiculous the praise itself. "

and ending the twentieth century, Gratian's work takes on a new vitality, edited in 1992 and the United States, "The Art of wordly Wisdom. A pocket oracle "(" The art of universal wisdom. A Pocket Oracle) 5 , translated by Christopher Maurer, which sold 200,000 copies, staying for 18 weeks (two in the first place) List nonfiction best sellers in the Washington Post. Ranked by the writer and collector Gail Goldwin phrases as "a Machiavellian but unscrupulous" lineup that undoubtedly would have astonished the same grace, "as conservative evangelical writer like the most " his "manual Oracle "as an American, became intellectual grass those executives and yuppies who worshiped the" business excellence "at the end of the nineties, before the arrival of the financial crisis.

In 2001, during the fourth centenary of the birth took place in Spain and other countries, conferences, seminars and other events on the work and thoughts of Grace for academic comfort of the flock (the people, the "mass of common people" he would say grace, always has been to cool these things, stupid as it is in our time on television .) Today, those past anniversaries of the fourth centenary, the waters have returned to their usual channel and Gracian remains, as before, an author so often quoted (" good thing if brief, twice good ") and little read .

With this digression, I think I have strayed somewhat from the question of paternity of that phrase, I understood that, unless the contrary as a vulgarization of the aphorism graciano 6. To see if please some specialist "graciniano" (I think so named) or a knowledgeable person, including those Mario Camus and Juan Cruz can make me doubt. Is rewarded with another aphorism, naturally Gracian " There is nothing that man cultivated more than knowledge."
