        Facing Off

        by Graciela Vaserman Samuels

        Facing Off  is a kaleidoscope of departures. In a century-long journey, men and women escape from a Europe in flames to the often convulsive but welcoming shores of Argentina. As Gabriela unveils to her daughters the land of her birth, the country becomes a map of thumbtack flags of flesh and blood. Readers see a revolving door of political parades and moments through the innocent eyes of a child, a rebel, and a mature woman. Facing Off  is a catharsis at each milestone of motherhood, reflected in the responses of Gabriela’s daughters. From Buenos Aires to Jerusalem to Paris and back to Jerusalem, fragile threads link family and tradition. A living willpower guides readers across the desert between generations. Facing Off was first published in Spanish as Dar la Cara by Metafora (Buenos Aires, 2010) and selected for display on the Argentinean stand at the 2010 Frankfurt Book Fair. Graciela Vaserman Samuels, born in Argentina, emigrated to Israel and studied political science at the Hebrew University. She holds a PhD in literature from Temple University and served as founding director of Hadassah Medical Relief Association. As a UNESCO official, she spends her time between Paris and Jerusalem. The author and her husband, Shimon Samuels, have three daughters and four grandsons. Vaserman Samuels also wrote the novel Decoding Colors. An English- Lanugage E-book edition was published in late 2014, by SWS Inc., C.A. 242 Pages, 15X22.5 CM

        Rose aus Asche

        Spanische und spanisch-amerikanische Gedichte 1900–1950

        by Erwin Walter Palm, Erwin Walter Palm, Hilde Domin

        Zwischen den beiden Weltkriegen stand die spanische Dichtung noch einmal in der vordersten Reihe der europäischen Lyrik. Deren wichtigste Vertreter, Juan Ramón Jiménez, Antonio Machado, Rafael Alberti, Jorge Guillén und Federico García Lorca, gehören inzwischen zu den Klassikern des 20.Jahrhunderts. Die Proben lateinamerikanischer Lyrik von Gabriela Mistral, César Vallejo, Jorge Carrera Andrade und anderen vermitteln ein Bild von der literarischen Eigenständigkeit eines Kontintents, der sich bewußt von europäischen Modellen löste, um zu sich selbst zu finden.

        Julio Medem

        by Robert Stone, Nuria Triana-Toribio, Andy Willis

        This thorough account of the life and films of the Spanish-Basque filmmaker Julio Medem is the first book in English on the internationally renowned writer-director of Vacas, La ardilla roja (Red Squirrel), Tierra, Los amantes del Círculo Polar (Lovers of the Arctic Circle), Lucía y el sexo (Sex and Lucía), La pelota vasca: la piel contra la piedra (Basque Ball) and Caótica Ana (Chaotic Ana), Initial chapters explore Medem's childhood, adolescence and education and examine his earliest short films and critical writings against a background of a dramatically changing Spain. Later chapters provide accounts of the genesis, production and release of Medem's challenging and sensual films, which feed into complex but lucid analyses of their meanings, both political and personal, in which Stone draws on traditions and innovations in Basque art, Spanish cinema and European philosophy to create a complete and provocative portrait of Medem and his work. ;
