The woman and the monster

" Creature from the Black Lagoon " (1954) degrees in its commercial debut in Spain as " The monster from the Black Lagoon " is an American production of the fifties, after many years, I've never seen on television tonight, now with the new title of "Women and monster."

There are scenes of movies seen in childhood when you strongly make and survive in your memory, despite the years that have passed. One of these nebulae pictures, kept hidden somewhere in my memory is the sequence of swimming exercise of the protagonist of this film, the beautiful Julia Adams, wearing a tight bathing suit, while others breaststroke semi erotic romps monster of the lagoon, submerged and swimming parallel to it, try rubbing the foot of the beautiful with the sharp claws of their ugly webbed hands.

seems that the film, directed by a specialist in science fiction films, Jack Arnold, was originally shot in 3D, this is your vision needed polarized glasses (do not remember having seen well in Spain) and their success , produced a couple of sequels, "Revenge of the monster from the Black Lagoon " (1955) and " The monster walks among us " (1956) unreleased in our country, as far as I remember.

The film, return to see now, tells the story of a group of scientists (geologists) to start on an expedition to a remote river in the Amazon basin (the Black Lagoon) in search of fossil remains prove the existence of a link between terrestrial and marine creatures in the Devonian period. Expedition up the two young scientists, the "good", David (Richard Carlson) who is good with his girlfriend, Kate (Julia Adams) who is "take bread and dip" and "bad" Mark (Richard Denning) engaged in discovering the monster hunt them down and kill him. There are other secondary characters, all male, two senior scientists, the ship's captain and a couple of sailors aboard a ship named "Rita."

At the bottom of the lagoon and communicated in a cave with this, lives a monstrous creature, played, as I have read by two different players, one for the scenes on land and one for water. The poor monster must be so tired of his solitary existence is the scales stand on end as you see the palm of the beautiful and never stops chasing to not know that perverse purposes, but to us imagine (curiously the men of the expedition are not aware of the more than explicit intentions of the monster, attentive only to capture him alive or dead, for their scientific purposes.)

whole not going to tell the incident, because really all that matters to the viewer is the impossible relationship between beauty and the beast. Julie Adams, film and television actress, is spectacular and boasts a body of scandal. The monster, called by the Americans, the Gill-man (a man with gills), falls sympathetic from the beginning, but the young players who seem stolid fags beach. "

Finally, the time has passed for everyone. The "dangerous" saved the water scenes and the presence forever grateful for the protagonist, is naive bordering on stupid. The sweet Julie Adams, whose image erotic dreams troubled child, is now 84 and I'm just a "Jubilate" with the airs of an amateur writer, before going to sleep, I wanted to recommend to the readers to see, when given the opportunity, this curious version of the timeless story of impossible love between Beauty and the Beast. Have you dream sweet dreams and if perhaps with monstrous creatures, at least, are so human in their desires as the monster from the Black Lagoon.

7. interwar international relations: collective security turns to the war

The world wars, the settlement represents the values \u200b\u200binherited from the nineteenth century and the beginning of a new era and a new reality. This is an extremely turbulent time full of revolutions and crises that will mean the decline of a world and the dawn of another century in which we were born. The previous time we made a double population and economic growth but on the other the Great War is the daughter of that growth (the first war "industrial" inevitable consequence of worldwide industrialization and imperialist objectives arising from the same .) With respect to politics, witnessing the decline and fall of our continent as a center power, a shift to the second World War will only aggravate. But while the policy this time also characterized by the crisis of democracy and the emergence and development of European fascism, by the new order imposed by Japan in Asia result of its expansion and dominance in the area, by the consecration of EE . U.S. as a new world power and, above all, by the Russian Revolution of 1917 and the subsequent formation of the USSR, which represents the first company organized under the Marxist model, the initial triumph of the proletariat and the establishment of socialism as a system social and state. And to end this review also the colonial world will be stirred, stirring which will become seeds of your awakening and rebellion against the reigning European colonialism.

Economically they live, also the consequences of World War I affect the capitalist economy: the new situation will force a reorganization and reordering to be the prelude to the 1929 crisis and Thus depression. In the social order takes shape and mass society requires, just as in art or literature will see the emergence of new movements such as Cubism and Surrealism.

Then I leave a video that sums up the essence, which meant that regularly update for Europe and the world.

About daily life in the Weimar Republic see the next video.

Below we reproduce a series of texts that work in the classroom:

"If what we propose is that, at least a generation Germany can not even buy a median prosperity, if we believe that all our recent allies are angels pure and all our recent enemies, Germans, Austrians, Hungarians and others are children of the devil, if we want, year after year, Germany is impoverished and starving children and sick, and is surrounded by enemies, then reject all offers generous, particularly those that can help Germany to recover some of their old material prosperity. (...).

If so estimate the nations and relations with each other was adopted by the democracies of Western Europe, then, that Heaven save us all If we aim deliberately to impoverishment Central Europe, vengeance, do not hesitate to predict, not delay. "

JM Keynes. The economic consequences of peace.

"In 1925, a somewhat superficial all started back in order: the global production regained its level before the war (...). New hopes and technical solutions emerged. The industrial and financial world is then animated by a thirst to produce and win that was cut by the most serious economic shocks in history. The upheaval began in 1929 worsened in 1931 and their signals were felt long after 1933. "

Pierre Leon. Economic and social history of the world. War and crisis (1914-1947).

"The upper class, however, owner of power and wealth, did not realize the danger threatening the fragile balance of their position. The rich had fun dancing the Charleston and new rhythms of jazz, fox-trot and some cumbias of blacks were a wonderful indecency. Renewed travel by boat to Europe, which had been suspended during the four years of war and became fashionable Nortameamérica others. Novelty golf came, bringing together the best company to hit a ball with a stick, as did two hundred years before the Indians in those places. The ladies put fake pearl necklaces and knee-deep pot hats to the eyebrows, had his hair cut like men and painted as prostitutes, had removed the leg brace and smoked up. The Knights went dazzled by the invention of U.S. cars, which arrived in the country in the morning and sold the same day in the afternoon, despite costing a small fortune and were nothing more than a roar of smoke and running loose nuts at breakneck speed for a few roads that were made for horses and other beasts natural, but in any fancy machines. In the table games were played inheritance and easy riches of the war, uncovering the champagne, and was the novelty of cocaine to the most sophisticated and vicious. "

Isabel Allende. The House of Spirits. Ed Plaza and Janes. Barcelona, \u200b\u200b1992.

"For those of us who live the years of the Great Depression, yet incomprehensible that the free market orthodoxy, so obviously discredited then, has been presiding over again a general period of depression in the late eighties and early nineties, which has proved equally incapable of providing solutions. This strange phenomenon should serve to remind a great historical fact that illustrates this: the incredible lack of memory of the theoretical and practical aspects of the economy. It is also a clear illustration the need that society has of historians, who are "reminder" professionals what their citizens wish to forget. "

E. Hobsbawm. Twentieth century history.

"Soon, a business much more attractive than the theater attracted my attention and my country. It was a little matter called the stock market (...). If you bought eighty thousand dollars of stock, had only pay in cash twenty thousand, the remainder is left to the staff duty (...). The market kept rising and rising (...). The surprise of the market in 1929 was that no one sold a single share. People bought incessantly (...). The plumber, the butcher, the ice man, all yearning to be rich cast their paltry wages, and in many cases the savings of a lifetime "on Wall Street (...). One day the market began to falter. Some more nervous customers panicked and started selling (...); sales initially were orderly, but soon the panic began to set aside the good sense and everyone started to throw the ring values \u200b\u200b(.. .) and the agents began to sell shares at any price (...). Then one day, Wall Street gave up and collapsed. That on the towel is an appropriate phrase, because by then the whole country was crying. "Groucho

The magic of the adventurous type

Every Christmas and Easter gift I usually do myself to start the year well oiled intellectually, buy a book from Jose Antonio Marina, so I have in my library many titles theirs.

Once, during a conference, I heard that Jose Antonio Marina, just lacked one thing to be an influential philosopher in the world: being born in the United States. But as it happens, that Marina was born in Toledo, as a server, I fear that his literary personality is not too well known outside our latitudes, which is a shame because their books easily worked with a difficult, are the clearest , entertaining and even, rigorous we can find in Spain, culturally dominated by the scourge of a public and private broadcasters are affront to the intelligence and good taste.

understand, if so, to Marina, with good sense, given this grim outlook, prefer to focus more on the education of new generations, who attend the elementary and secondary classrooms (or they are called now, these levels of education) than to adults seduced by the screaming, howling and other signs of "intelligence" lavish characters and so are people that regularly attend our galaxies media (and which cause serious damage to neurons, if I allow relief).

This approach to young people, parents and teachers is the one with the last book Marine-acquired off-season, failing this time with the annual provision, entitled "The magic of writing ", co-authored with Mary I avail myself of their habitual collaborator. I think a work that, even if, as is pointed out, a clear concern to teaching, it is interesting for all kinds of readers, as most of the works of Marina that can be read profitably by both the specialist and the citizen. Resumo

what I consider essential in the book, interspersed with comments or personal reflection.

passive intelligence and Intelligence are active, co-authors write. Passivity, the fact watch TV at all hours, for example, is not good. Passivity limits our ability to act, we are weak and subject to several easements, moldy our capabilities and convenience often intoxicated. Human intelligence can be a source of occurrence, or may be a sad mockery, as these false sources recycled over and over again the same water in a closed circuit. Passivity is a failure of intelligence that should be active and creative.

Where does occurrences are the result of our creative intelligence?. From the depths of our privacy, where there was speech, expression, co-authors respond. Think it is expressed. "Talk and educate our personality eloquent expression involves education of the whole personality . "Hence the importance of educating the expression and practice.

The most common form and full of practicing oral expression through conversation, inmprescindible for coexistence. Talking is not dialogue to reach an agreement or investigate a case, there is debate to reach the truth, let alone play, something all by himself in the trash TV programs, a true threshold of hell. "Conversation is an exchange feelings, information, thoughts interralación where the staff is more important than the logical thread.
Express well, think well, write well, create, are habits, " the same as playing good tennis ," say the sponsors. It takes a minimum of authority, a determined attitude and sufficient training.

write co-authors of creative intelligence, learn how to use language well is to teach or to use intelligence-can be represented by the following equation Psychological

I witty = red Memory + OS + activity + eagerness + escape from the routine evaluation.

explain this a little. Our self witty is the union of our creative memory and our habits operative. I think, as the sponsors, which is a shame that schools have been deleted in the habit of learning texts by heart. I belong to a generation that was educated in a school where the memory was the main source of learning, then I have no memory left to grow throughout life and I regret that over the years is losing the nearest memory (the distant is that longer stays).

mental operations to express themselves well are varied: link, merge, inserting variables extrapolate, invent models, ask questions. Each of these operations can be automated, become a habit. This requires addition, an effort, an activity. " important thing, as I said Threshold that this effort will not notice ."

creative intelligence still requires another element: the systematic routine flight. When this combination of items flowing spontaneously creative intelligence. But still need something more. Select all occurrences of the good. Build our own system of selection, which is, as the trial of the artists, a slow and mysterious.

Modern life requires a complete mastery of writing. From learning any office until their tax obligations or participate in the civic life of the community, any fact required to complete forms, send requests, translate the written opinion or a report. This we know well who have spent a career in public administration where we have tried to act with "Love and Pedagogy" at the service of citizens, as claimed by the institution and improve the style of the administrative language. Foster

expressiveness of children in primary school is one of their goals. But writing is not easy. Involves, among other things, manual dexterity, concentration, clarity of ideas, will and perseverance, and a time and a place. Fundamental results the work of the teacher " an adult who is with the children to give the best of himself, to develop the well, the habit of creation, and commitment imagimnación ." The authors, based on their teaching experience, are convinced that children and young people like to write, comment upon and many useful suggestions for teaching primary and secondary education (for example, writing workshops in high school).

able to speak, knowing that, knowing how to write, are basic skills, but to cultivate these capacities, writes Adela Cortina, "training is essential that comes from regular and attentive reading of good books, a school is convinced that it is a disservice to students when they are not caring for the language, namely to understand, explain, draft, because more free to communicate what think those who run the fluent speech " 1.

I think it's a shame that these messages" provocateurs "have no more echo. They are simple mosquito bites in a shell of steel. We live in hard times for ethics (immorality) and aesthetics (bad taste). While the politicians, the holders of the media, professionals give away their responsibilities, that is each in its sphere and its own scope, not on almost anything. Given a task that offends morality, intelligence, education and good taste can not be said " that if I do not, somebody else will," or resort to subterfuge that " that's what the audience asks "as I heard him say on TV recently called a journalist, an actress stalker dying. If there's a heartless willing, at least that you're not. "

Writing is also a profession or a way of life. There's a writer's craft, a profession that has over others, significant advantages starting with the not inconsiderable to be every man his own boss and to organize their time please. It is a somewhat traditional trade, as only learn by practicing. Each writer has his reasons for writing and this is reflected in surveys often are made between writers. The truth is that once you start typing, whatever the reasons that everyone has the passion for creating never ends. " The writers do not retire, because your joy is to keep writing until the end of his days ." Could also apply this recipe we, the writers of blogs.

childhood memory, his constant reference operator is part of the real or imaginary world evoked by the writer. Rilke wrote "I ven if you were in a prison, whose walls drown every sound in the world, is not always pra poseeriais childhood, that precious, that real wealth, the treasure of memories ." The world of childhood is a world of feelings, a sensory world, colorful and unique self. " Everything I've written comes straight from my childhood " he writes in his diary Jules Green. I can add that in any other age in childhood and feels most keenly the injustice, real or apparent, suffered by the child, in both senses of mistreatment and abuse of power.

The man writes to a trace of what is inside. True, it may leave a mark in other ways-in the children, a gift, a foundation, as did the Indians, but the writing is the most primitive of preservarlamemoria. "Write ," Threshold-new appointment, is a self-affirmation . "

Only the creative process frees us from the inertia, routine, disillusionment and boredom. I endorse these recommendations of Jose Antonio Marina and María de la avail myself to practice and also invites readers of this blog. Read, understand, write us to stay alive and lucid in a world ever more complicated, where all we are, more or less time, some survivors.

Zalacaín

Since young I am devoted Baroja reader. From his extensive work of fiction I have read almost everything important, including his memoirs (" Since the last turn of the road ") and twenty-two action novels that make up the time series centered on the character of Aviraneta ("Memoirs a man of action "). Some of his novels I have them in early editions of the publisher of his brother, Rafael Caro Raggio, others in more modern editions and even keep it, as gold cloth, a rarity for its final stage, published in collections of popular novel, when the writer already diminished powers, merely repeating arguments using the technique of "cutting and paste. "

Since young I liked Baroja. Disagreement, their rebellious spirit, his reply to the established order, present in characters so full of good intentions which is unfortunate Andrés Hurtado de " The tree of knowledge , Luis Murguia of" perverted sensuality "or Fernando Ossorio "from" Way of Perfection. " Over time I learned that prolonged reading of these novels Baroja, so pessimistic, it was not good for mental health and their enjoyment was graduating instinctively, reserving it for certain days and times.

But if Baron is a novel I read repeatedly, tirelessly, and without my mind decay, this is without a doubt, "the adventurer Zalacaín ( 1909) 1 , third in his trilogy " Basque Land" after "House of Aizgorri " (1900) and "The firstborn of Labraz " (1903). With " Zalacaín "something very curious. It can be read and enjoy both a fifteen years old to eighty. The young enjoy with the adventures of Martin Zalacaín Urbina, the prototype of action Baroja, the indefatigable hero, rude and childish that makes war on its own, threatening their lives, no matter a jot. The old man already looking at the end of his days notice after the story a disenchanted view of human existence embodied in the protagonist's fate.

attracts me, like everything, the hero, adventurer and lover, but mostly I love the cut of supporting characters who appear in the novel: the anticlerical and Arriscado Tellagorri, Great Uncle Martin " man of ill repute and good heart "who" greeted with more respect for a poodle to the parish priest "and for whom the most social of his theories was" that everyone keep what you have and what you can steal ", Don Sorobarri Fermin, the old town clerk of Urbina, who justified his memory lapses with "Well ... I forgot species ", the loyal Bautista Mr. Urbides ... In contrast the types of women, Catherine " pert, smiling, cheerful and very nice , Rosa, Linda, Ignacia, a counterpoint to the male, I find worse drawn. Also run by the unsympathetic characters novel .

Baroja recall writing this because I just saw on a television, the movie " Zalacaín adventurer" in the 1955 version, directed by Juan de Orduña, written by Manuel Tamayo. He has not had much luck Baroja in the film adaptations of his novels. As I have seen on the Internet has been, throughout the history of English cinema only five films based on arguments Baroja: a change from 1927, entitled "Madrid In Hollywood," an adaptation of the play "The horrific crime Peñaranda Field "and four sound, all shot in black and white.

In the first, "the adventurer Zalacain , 1929, Baroja brothers appeared in two" slips "(today we call" cameos "), Ricardo playing the role of Tellagorri and Pio Carlist Sgt.

The second, and after the civil war (1949) was " The concerns of Shanti Andia " directed by Arturo Ruiz Castillo, a good director. I think I've seen this movie but I do not remember .

leave the commentary of the third, the second version of " Zalacaín adventurer" to the end .

On the fourth " The search" was a worthy adaptation of Angelino Fons, filmed in 1966 that failed despite having the excellent French actor Jacques Perrin ("Girl with a suitcase, "" The escape ) in the lead role.

Zalacaín version directed by Juan de Orduña contains elements of the novel, combining your way. It's a decent movie, well set, a little folk, with esteemed actors in their roles as the handsome Portuguese Virgilio Teixeira (1917-2010), a regular in the films' historical and cultural "at the time as" holy Queen " "Agustina de Aragón " or "Cañas y barro " two beautiful actresses, Margarita Elena Espejo and Andrey, with a certain physical resemblance between them, and even a youthful María Dolores Pradera that ventures into a zorcico. Say which is a Zalacaín but can be decaffeinated.

The film also comes as rapporteur Baroja himself, and so old.

To end this post I want to pick up a paragraph of the novel that sums up the thought Baroja about courage, talent and fortune

" There are men for whom life is an extraordinary facility. They are something like a ball rolling down an inclined plane without mishap, without difficulty.

Is it talent, it is instinct or luck? The people themselves claim to be instinct or talent, his enemies say coincidence, luck, and this is more likely than other men because there are excellently prepared for life, intelligent, energetic, strong and yet do nothing but stop and stumble.

A Basque proverb says "A good scare value of bad luck. And this is true sometimes ... when you have good luck. "

WORLD WAR

Europe in 1914

1. name is fully justified "World War " since fought in all the oceans and involved contestants from all continents. Was the first Great War?
2. Why had catastrophic consequences? Certainly not only global but also its extension to a combination military technology and culture of peoples in conflict. A good example is the submarine warfare. The same is true of the air war

Karl von Clausewitz wrote in the aftermath of the Napoleonic wars, the war was composed of three aspects: policy government, military activities and passions of the people.

2 European powers in 1914

• Until the late eighteenth century many of the current powers had remained socially homogeneous. It was basically agrarian societies dominated by a landed gentry and governed by historical monarchies legitimized by the Church.
• BRITAIN: the richest power in the world but was more vulnerable than ever. The mastery of the seas was what kept the Empire together and fed their subjects. The loss of naval supremacy that was a nightmare.

To meet the German naval challenge, Britain threw away in 1907 a new type of battleship, the Dreadnought , which revolutionized the industry naval war. Because of its speed and its power fire any battleship of the time could be measured to him. However, since its launch powers began to build new ships along the lines of Dreadnought. The new battleships increased size, speed and power and the number of guns. It brought a real "naval race" that made the end of the Great War was an entirely obsolete.

• France: in 1801 its population was 27 million, the largest in Europe. In 1910 was only 35 million, when in the same time Britain had increased from 11 to 40 million people (the newly unified Germany was 65 million). While it continued to exert their dominance in terms of wealth and culture, domestic politics was very unstable (the country was divided between those who had taken advantage of the revolution and socialism on the rise). In foreign policy or forgot or forgave the annexation of Alsace and Lorraine to Germany in 1871, which, in turn, also resulted in excessive dependence on Russia to counter the growing German power.
• RUSSIA: big rival Britain (Russian expansion to the south and east was attacking the route to India via the Middle East), although its potential was huge, he was limited by the backwardness of their society and ineffective government. In the early twentieth century tsars ruled a population of around 164 million, composed overwhelmingly of peasants freed from slavery (it was abolished after the Crimean War). Its pillars were: an absolute monarchy supported by an Orthodox church and a huge bureaucracy and lethargic. The educated elites were divided Westernizers and Slavophiles . Until the late nineteenth century attention was directed in its expansion in Asia, but after their defeat against the Japanese in 1904-05 turned to southeast Europe where Orthodox Christian communities in Greece, Serbia and Bulgaria had asked for his support as fellow Christians and Slavs. And something similar happened with the Slavic population, Serbia and Croatia that were part of Austria-Hungary.
• AUSTRIA-HUNGARY: the Habsburg monarchy was composed entirely of nations submerged. In 1867 he had formed a dual monarchy to ensure the mighty Magyars of semi-independence in the kingdom of Hungary, who shared with only a German Austrian monarch (Francis Joseph ruled since 1848), an army, a Ministry of Finance and Foreign Affairs ministry. The Magyars considered something of a superior race, so oppressive rule over the Slavic minorities (Slovaks, Romanians and Croats). For their part, the Austrians ruled the northern Slavs (Czechs), Northeast (Poles and Ruthenians) and south (Slovenes and Serbs), in addition to land italianoparlantes the southern slopes of the Alps.
• GERMANY: due to the inefficiency of the Reichstag In these circumstances, the Kaiser's personality was of paramount importance, and the great misfortune to Germany was found in the person of William II (of the House of Hohenzollern) an individual who personified as one of the three qualities that characterized the German ruling elite : archaic militarism (the military was socially dominant), excessive ambition (they were starring in a new industrial revolution that will take them to claim the status of world power, Weltmacht ) and neurotic insecurity.
• RIVALS PARTNERSHIPS: Since 1871 Germany was seen surrounded by enemies everywhere. Considered, and rightly so, that France was irreconcilable. Therefore try to neutralize encouraging colonial ambitions that would lead to confrontation with Britain, and ensured that found no allies among the other European powers in assembling all of its own system of alliances. Easy thing was to unite the dual monarchy and the Italians (Triple Alliance which supported Italian claims against France). As regards Russia, and Bismarck had been concerned to cultivate their friendship linking it to their "system" through an alliance concluded in 1881 and renewed as reinsurance treaty in 1887. With respect to GRAN BRITAIN, have their two main natural enemies, France and Russia, central power was to their liking. The only thing I feared Bismarck, and rightly so, was a war in the Balkans between Austria and Russia that could destabilize a situation so poorly established. So the Congress of Berlin in 1878 negotiated an agreement that divided the Balkans into two spheres of influence between Russia and the dual monarchy, giving the latter a kind of protectorate on the northern Ottoman province of Bosnia-Herzegovina. This arrangement lasted until the end of the century, then everything began to crumble from the same time that Bismarck's successors were unable to renew the treaty with Russia. So things in 1891 France (abundant source of investment for the sake of modernizing Russia) and Russia signed a treaty, DOUBLE ENTENTE to deal with the Triple Alliance. For its part the British, though relations with Germany had been more cordial than anything else, were uneasy about the transatlantic fleet that Germany was arming. Consequently, their response was the establishment of relations with France in 1904 known as the entente cordial . But there was the Russian Empire who in 1907 (after the painful defeat against Japan in 1905) signed an agreement with Britain on a land border with Persia and Afghanistan, creating the Triple Entente . SYSTEM OF ALLIANCES

However, to understand the path that led to the Great War must we fix on other fundamental changes that will alter decisive way the world was passing XIX century to century, and in a series of CRISIS that preceded the conflict.

The afterlife myths

A myth is, to not roll enough definitions, a person or thing surrounded by the highest estimate. Myths are as popular as unattainable, we can only approach his pedestal and worship them looking up. If the height where it reaches our eyes find a movie screen, then we will have a movie myth .

En este pasado mes de marzo, duro para las necrológicas, han muerto varios mitos cinematográficos. Jane Russell, la exuberante actriz, junto con Bettty Grable y Ginger Rogers, uno de los iconos sexuales de los soldados norteamericanos en la II Guerra Mundial, falleció a edad avanzada, 89 años. La antaño competidora de Marilyn, el mito for ever, en “ Los caballeros las prefieren rubias ” llevaba, al parecer bastantes años internada en un clínica de rehabilitación debido a sus problemas con el alcohol. Recuerdo con simpatía a esta actriz, de corta pero rotunda filmografía, ya saben por qué, y no olvido los buenos moments that led me as a child, the vision of his film "Paleface ", next to Bob Hope.

will not even within the category of local myths, there are always classes, the Andalusian Amparo Muñoz, as beautiful as unfortunate and the bullfighter in Seville, famous in his day, Pepin Martin Vazquez.

Amparo Muñoz saw in the beginning, when I was a couple of Maximo Valverde, shopping at a grocery store near my home, because we were neighbors. His films never interested me, not a good actress. Television recently put one of his worst films, "the minister Women", where it was little more than looking body.

Martin Vazquez The teacher did not see him fight, I'm not that old, but if I was a spectator of his first steps as a film actor in films like stale " Currito Cross," the story of a torero poor lover of a quiet country houses which he called "Senorita" and another, whose name I forget, which his partner was the actress Danielle Darrieux, a legend of French cinema who is still alive (93 years).

But the indisputable film legend, who died in these days is no doubt, Elizabeth Taylor, actress of incredible violet eyes, five times nominated for an Oscar, impressive in all his films, " a woman to whom self-importance was not prevented from owning something that few actresses have beautiful: a sense of humor " 1. The necrologic (the New York Times had prepared his obituary from 2005) have reminded us of the exciting and passionate life of this splendid little woman to always look like a living legend teenagers of my generation.

see a movie By Liz (the actress hated that nickname) made it more than once "pellets" at school, watching a movie of Taylor, in the darkness of the room, took a first kiss and our dreams juveniles became more pleasant recalling her graceful figure, enlarged on the screen, in movies like "Ivanhoe " or " The last time I saw Paris ."

Personally I must admit that I liked more Elizabeth Taylor as a young actress more. Mentally, I place before and after "Cleopatra "(1963) and it is possible that this different finding was influenced by his stormy private life. I still remember his visit to Spain, recently married to British actor Michael Wilding. A reporter asked fry marriage "who had pleaded who ." "Well, I ," the actress replied, laughing, always so determined.

But the priceless scene, that which I have stuck to my retina, and it still gives me chills to remember, for more time which I have not seen, belongs to one of the film credits that impressed me most " A Place in the Sun , 1951. I would play his staging and dialogue:

She (Elizabeth Taylor) enters the billiard room where he (Montgomery Clift) has found refuge in isolation from others, perhaps displaced from festival that takes place at that time in a luxurious mansion. She slips, radiant in her white dress, barely touching the index finger edge of the table. Never have been. She says.

" These wasting your youth."

" is possible," he replies.

"just Why, asks her" Are you afraid or 're sad?

A fairly moviegoers this scene will no doubt recall a similar one the famous scene of smoking, "the Woody Allen movie" Match Point "(2005) when Crish ( Jonathan Rys Meyers) and Nola (the sexy Scarlett Johansson) meet for the first time.

movie myths have helped many people to live and support life. As long as we keep watching and remembering their films, the cinematic myths not age nor die. Long life, then, to the myths.

• The natural evolution: the process of humanization: bipedalism, change in foot structure, modification of the column, release the hands, increased cranial capacity, etc. But what really explains the appearance of intelligence? Possibly comes from a genetic mutation que dio entre unos individuos que fueron capaces de aprovechar favorablemente dicha mutación.
• La evolución cultural : el proceso de humanización (caza, descubrimiento del fuego, largo aprendizaje, aparición del comportamiento social y aparición del lenguaje).

The time between seams

usually am not fond of reading best-sellers and, therefore, to comment, but in this case I'll make an exception for the successful novel by Maria Duenas who by chance came into my hands and, like many other readers, (32 editions, sold 750,000 copies enter years) I read avidly .

" The time between seams" is a well-written novel, with a rate that does not decay and that "traps" immediately the reader with the force of a good serial or a good movie. But it is only a matter of pace. The author knows have a long history over time and fit it in various scenarios that seem to know well, especially the area of \u200b\u200bthe English Protectorate in Morocco, where family settlement. It is also a well crafted and documented history at a precise period, as evidenced by the accompanying full bibliography. This is a particularly valuable achievement and supports the dedication of the author that, as stipulated by the lapel, a PhD in English Studies and a professor at the University of Murcia .

Indeed, one of the findings of the novel, in my view, is the mixture in the fiction of imaginary characters and real people as the "Almighty" Serrano Suner, Colonel Beigbeder and Rosalind Powell Spy Fox, who really existed and even wrote a memoir .

I was interested especially the figure of General Staff Colonel Juan Beigbeder Atienza, and I've searched references in his memoirs "makeup" of Serrano: " was a strange and unique, with a superior culture to the current, capable of a thousand follies Germanophile exalted in the early months of World War II, an Anglophile and then seduced by Sir Samuel Hoare and the staff person. Franco most devoted of whom directly writing letters calling him "My Leader" and would later be one of the few soldiers who actively conspired against him - "proven fact" - as stated in the sentences, honest man who died almost in poverty to the extent that two of his friends, who gave him a small job in a company had to pay for his funeral. Next, the Bis II "following orders, entered his room grabbing the trunk where he kept documents, letters and memoirs ." 1 She writes, however, that the roles of Beigbeder " were forgotten in the pension Tomasa "and that some months after his death were collected by " an old acquaintance of Tetuan in exchange for taking over the bill of a few thousand pesetas to the left outstanding."

In another of his book of memories " between Hendaye and Gibraltar " 2 , Serrano is credited with the initiative Beigbeder appointment as Minister of Foreign Affairs "In general Jordanian Foreign succeeded Colonel Beigbeder Minister was leaving for the office of High Commissioner of Spain in Morocco and territorial chief of the Falange in the area of \u200b\u200bour Protectorate; was also the first member of the National Council of the Falange. It was my initiative to propose. Throughout the civil war had distinguished himself by his phalanx to the point that the Falange in Africa, thanks to their protection was one of the strongest in Spain. I had met him during a trip to Ceuta and Tetuan mine on the first anniversary of the Uprising, for my views and opinion of many Falange was the belief that there had been management and successful business. I remember that Franco did not accept the principle proposal enthusiastically. "

remember seeing once in my life "cuñadísimo" to outside a hospital. So neat was an old man, smiling, smartly dressed with difficulty walking leaning on a cane. What a contrast with that powerful politician, the man who, by his own admission, " was nine times against Hitler " 3 and the only contributor was fully empowered to Franco!. Ignacio Merino, author of a book on the character, met in Marbella, on the verge of 100 years (he died almost 102) and portrays him as a charming man, still a good conversationalist, keeping intact alertness 4. María Dueñas well defines the "loneliness of Serrano" in the exercise of power when he writes "The military hated and the street was extremely unfriendly to the point that the people poured into the guilt of all the ills of Spain, since the prices of movies and shows to the drought that hit the field in those years "venturing that a cause of his fall, reported by Franco coolly, was the birth of the fourth daughter of the" beautiful and insolent Llanzol Marquise "view of Serrano.

Just as political figures are well reflected does not seem to be so with the creatures of fiction. The main character, the dressmaker Sira Quiroga finally I find inconsistent and hard to believe its evolution from naive girl, the one deceiving anyone, the proud and sophisticated spy capable of the most daring stunts. Of course there are worst spy story set in World War which also had success, like the one entitled " Shining" ("Shining trouhg ) 1992, with Michael Douglas and Melanie Griffith doing" spy by mandate. " Fiction allows these excesses and if the novel resembled the real world there would be such.

description of environments, especially in the Madrid of the Republic, is superficial. With a few lines the author clears the agonizing situation of the Popular Front of Madrid: " All around the political environment was breathing fire and strikes, labor disputes and street violence formed the usual scenario. In February, the coalition won the elections of leftist Popular Front, the Falange, in reaction, became more aggressive. Guns and fists replaced the word in political debates, tensions came to be extremely . "

The lace dates, a fact that the author makes date and to be deducted from the historical events that serve background to history, not just applicable. So one night Sira, forgiveness Aris, received in his home-fashion salon the unexpected visit of Colonel Beigbeder tells who visibly shaken " I have stopped. Tomorrow will public. " The next day afternoon, but come very much story, our heroine gets in a movie theater, the Palace of Music where they project the movie "Rebecca by Alfred Hitchcock. Yet as the cessation of Beigbeder as Minister of Foreign Affairs is produced on 16 October 1940 and the movie "Rebecca " not released in Spain until December 10, 1942, when he was not even Serrano minister, by the way which premiered at the Callao cinema and not in the Palace of Music.

course these are all forgivable pejiguerías in literary fiction, well told otherwise, addictive, with tension, sometimes overwhelming, it is not intended as an accurate reflection of reality and English international, but rather this is the scene along which historical and fictional characters, more or less credible, which are novel to the plot density.

I heard that the successful novel by Maria Duenas will be brought to the small screen, in the near future. If so, and it seems that the production is well advanced counting on a good director and good actors, I foresee an even greater success than that obtained in bookstores. They are fashionable series of contemporary historical setting and are sure to find each other easily accommodate this "stitch in turbulent times," the first novel by a promising great writer.
