University City Campus of Excellence "?

I have the campus of the City University as one of the most enjoyable ride sites in Madrid. When I was a college student, years ago, I used to walk on the outskirts of the classes, the long journey from the Law School to the Plaza del Callao around which had, by then, my home. Currently I am content to walk sometimes in the Avenida Complutense, mingling with the students or with those who will play the sport of cycling. My favorite places are the Botanical Gardens Alfonso XIII, indispensable visit in spring and autumn, and the nearby Museum of Costume in the Avenida de Juan de Herrera. Unfortunately

not stop warning for this morning walks, signs degradation such as papers on the floor or as a disordered set leaflets, graffiti everywhere, dirt, the negative aspects that contrast with the neatness that this campus had at one time.

If evil is general and widespread throughout the grounds, there is nevertheless a particular site that features a special degradation. I refer to the monument known as the "The Torchbearers" at the Plaza de Ramón y Cajal from the Faculty of Pharmacy, Medicine and Dentistry of the mouth just behind Metro Ciudad Universitaria.

This monument, " The torchbearers " (The Torch Bearer) was carved by Mrs. Anna Hyatt Huntington (1876-1973), famous American artist, wife of the American hispanist Archer Milton Huntington, founder of the Hispanic Society of America based in New York. The modeling of this group sculpture took three long years and more than one's cast aluminum. Features a naked young rider restraining his horse to take out of the hands of an old exhausted the symbolic heritage of Western civilization and transmitted from generation to generation. Donated by the artist to the Villa de Madrid was inaugurated on May 15, 1955 in the presence of Huntington marriage.

There are several other copies, aluminum and bronze, this statue: four are in the U.S. and one in Spain, in Valencia. I recently passed through the square where the latter is located and I could see what good condition

But the monument of the City University today announces the deplorable aspect that can be seen in the accompanying photograph which obviates simple vision description.

I do not know which institution was responsible for the conservation of this monument, if you are the Rector of the Complutense University and the Polytechnic, the City of Madrid or all three together, but what I am sure that those who appropriate competition brings al fresco civilization Western cultural heritage, the image of the university and public decency.

I read just yesterday (November 26, 2009) that the Moncloa Campus has been recognized by the International Excellence Campus. I do not know in detail the proposed project is to understand the commitment of promoters to improve the functioning of the University in all aspects. Rectorate suggest to start their performances rewarded with the most elemental, this is the reorganization of campus space and in particular to take urgent necessary measures to those with a sensitivity that we passed this monument because of the generosity of a foreign artist we are not falling as English and citizens the world of shame seeing the deplorable state it is his legacy.

"The" step "Pajares" Garcia Mercadal

few days ago, rummaging through old books in the Cuesta de Moyano casually stumbled a little novel that struck me the name of its author and its colorful cover, illustrated for Mosque. As it was in a lot of everything to 1 had no qualms € echármela pocket to examine quietly at home. It was number 100 in the collection The World Novel (Year III, 9 February 1928). Its title: The "step" and its author Pajares José García Mercadal. AbeBooks then I saw Consulting announced the sale of copies esta novela a 6 € y a 10€ .

El nombre de su autor no me era desconocido. En mi biblioteca personal tengo al menos dos obras de este autor aragonés: “ Viajes por España ”, una selección hecha por su autor de impresiones y comentarios de viajeros ilustres que han visitado nuestro país desde tiempos remotos hasta finales del siglo XIX, publicada por Alianza editorial en 1972 y una biografía ilustrada de Azorín en Ediciones Destino fechada en 1967.

Ahondando algo más en la biografía de este autor, me informo que fue un trabajador intelectual infatigable. José García Mercadal (Zaragoza 1883- Madrid 1975) pertenece to the great generation of writers, journalists in the first half of the twentieth century. As a journalist did everything to become director of "The Fair", the prestigious liberal newspaper founded by D. Eduardo Gasset. As a writer it was no fee. Intervened in the creation of "New Library" and in this editorial from the Ruiz Castillo published his monumental " Spain seen by foreigners" in 3 volumes (1917-1921) source document still must be consulted and cited on the subject, and a compilation of texts on Costa and Ganivet . In 1935 (or 1943, according to others) won the National Book Award for his work "History of English Romanticism ." During the civil war is aligned with the nationalist side of the hand of Giménez Caballero and Reconquista Editions published his unequivocal " Air, land, sea (the greatest episodes of the epic English). During the forties published endless biographies of historical characters with a character discloser: Cervantes, Cisneros, Churruca, the Empress Josephine, Gracian, Moliere, Andrea Doria, Maria Luisa of Austria and many more. Also made in life Azorín, Baroja and Pérez de Ayala important studies on their lives and work. Special mention should be writing for what was an inveterate traveler whose journeys reflected in works like " Between the Tagus and the Miño", "Spain Corners," "Pyrenees " or the copy dedicated to Zaragoza Encyclopedia of Chart. Much loved his home town and surroundings Zaragoza Aragon. Your city rescued the archives of General Palafox. La Gran Enciclopedia Aragonesa dedicates these warm praise: " monastery from his home, crammed with books and papers-radiated literary information for numerous national and international researchers who attended with caring helpfulness. "

The data that interests me now is not the biography of his encyclopedic knowledge nor the right-wing ideology, but that Garcia Mercadal was the director of the library "The Global Novel" appeared during the years of dictatorship of Primo de Rivera and short-lived (1926-1928). The National Research Council has published in his collection Brief Literature, directed by Alberto Sanchez Alvarez-Insua (I think it is the nephew of Alberto Insua) within the series devoted to short fiction, literary studies in this collection of wide circulation very popular at the time as " Weekly The Tale " The Short Novel" and several others. Much has been disputed whether this "literature kiosk encouraged reading or distorted taste. In my opinion, I understand that reading is always good, even popular novels. In my case I was, small, stubborn reader of comics and novels infumables teenager today I would blush to mention, but surely I got used to reading habit and taste, more, more substantial literary fruit. Reading, although not more than the newspaper, as, indeed, do many English, it is always advisable.

To which we. One of the titles in this collection CSIC is who is devoted precisely to " The World Novel." The introduction and study of the collection is due to that Sánchez Álvarez-Insua and cataloging of its 130 issues was conducted by María del Carmen Barceló Santamaría. Thus, by reading this study I find that the publisher of the World The Novel was Rivadeneyra SA and its owner and developer Luis Montiel Balanzat (1884-1976), representative, with the director of the political right, but apriorists without sectarianism. Among the authors who appeared in the collection include Pio Baroja, Valle Inclan, Ramón Gómez de la Serna, Perez Ayala, Eugenio Noel et al. This same editorial published humor magazine Gutiérrez, led by K-Hito, the weekly collection Estampa and theatrical farce, some of whose numbers I remember seeing at home.

As acquired novel - "The" step "Pajares" - the story is minimal. At a meeting of friends, one of them as alien tells the following story: A young doctor, Fernando Morales, incidentally by Leon, Asturias way, is visiting the cathedral, "a beautiful woman, slender and graceful body, which is followed by the city to the door of a tavern not dare speak to him. The next day on the train has to drive you to Oviedo, Fernando coincide in the same department with the mystery lady ... and a priest who goes to join his new parish. Among the three begin a lively conversation over lunch and enjoy the scenery. Temporarily absent from the priest during a stop, his fellow travelers believe they have been on the ground and release the platform her suitcase and travel purposes [this very funny little scene recall having seen in the film "Sister San Sulpicio, adapted screenplay on the novel Palacio Valdés, with the protagonists of two nuns Andalusia (Seville Carmen Julia Caba Alba Galician and a doctor (Jorge Mistral)] - Reintgrado the priest asus clarifies the confusion seat without major problems. Alone at last the two young men, once arrived at their destination, the priest, Fernando, taking advantage of the darkness of a tunnel, he dares to plant a kiss to the beautiful, receiving in exchange a resounding slap and a reprimand. The lady, initially angry, but flattered at the bottom, she explains that she is married to a doctor and mother of two girls. Just forgive his audacity and reach the station of Oviedo has a husband and offspring. To leave the lady "Normal professor of Madrid" gives Fernando a coin with two pesetas to buy a candle and put it to the Virgin of Covadonga where the sanctuary is to visit soon. Fernando will crimp a fillet of gold this coin will always carry on a chain around his neck. Friends gathered at the end they discover that the narrator of this story and Fernando are the same person.
TRTA
As we are a sappy story that serves the author, good traveler, to describe monuments and landscapes from the train at the transition between León and Asturias by passing Pajares, recently opened l (1925) the electrification of the line railway.

For stay with something written in pencil within the margin of the page for this portrayal of the Cathedral of León:

"There are, however, an impression that stays fresh and indelible memory more scatterbrained and forgetful of [passenger] that comes from the direct view of the warheads and ceiling of the huge openings of its walls and be pleasantly surprised by a whole world of flowers and fruit of real and imaginary animals of heraldic decorations and historical and biblical characters, who seem to have life in those wondrous windows.

Is It Normal To Be A Furry

As a vehicle of knowledge help us to know how customs evolved, as were the fashion, to what extent has changed the urban fabric and transformed the landscape. I am sure that could be studied in classrooms historical memory of the country, region or country girl, without writing a single line, using only the exhibition of old photographs often sleep the sleep of the righteous in family albums or simple cardboard boxes, waiting for the "hand of snow" oblivion tear them know they are lying.

This introduction is about what I have: A few weeks ago, wandering through the flea market in search an uncertain booty, I stumbled by accident, confused, at the bottom of a can, among many other papers and trinkets, with the photograph, which I reproduce below, where you see three young pedestrians in an urban setting is no doubt that the Plaza Mayor of Salamanca, in a timely fashion and that the car, visible in the background, stand at 30 years of the last century. From the first moment of his vision, I was struck by the character of the right of the photo, the tall young man carrying a book in his hands.

Arthur C. Doyle Desierto de las Palmas

Most readers know Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) as the creator of intelligent detective Sherlock Holmes and his faithful and naive assistant Dr. Watson , characters, by the way, as happened with respect to Tenorio Zorrilla, ended up being hated by his author did his best to keep them away from the taste of readers, not fully achieve, "making appear in stories and stressful stories weak " 1.

What is less known, or at least I did not know, the Scottish author's biography is that before becoming a "prolific writer" she studied medicine, practicing the medical profession for fifteen years in hospitals , whaling ships and private practices. This explains the cause and reason of this series of stories that today commented: "The red light" (in England, the red lamp was lit indicates that a GP consultation was going on), subtitled "Realities and fantasies of life a doctor " 2 published originally in 1894. The author explains in the preface to this book that his intention is to reflect the more unpleasant side of the medical profession as "can not write to the light of medical practice," knowing that "a narrative could lead to reader beyond the usual way of thinking, that requires him to face the gravity of things, plays the same role as alternative remedies or tonics dela field medicine: are a bitter taste, but in the end result stimulants. "

Despite these caveats the author on the unrewarding nature of their stories, the reader of today can not find them any distress or bitterness, but a whole different story, a tender and even endearing, like the one titled "Two Lovers" fine stories like "Question of diplomacy, some almost detective-like" Lady Sannox case "or" Lot No. 249, "this with mummy included, and finally, my favorite, "Doctors of Hoyland" which chronicles the reactions of a male doctor, practicing only in a small English town before the arrival of a rival doctor who happens to be .. a woman.

All these stories, excellently written (with impeccable translation of Gregory Quarry) are part of novelistic production of better Doyle and therefore deserve to be appreciated in what they are worth so I hasten to recommend, not only for the practitioners of the medical profession, but for all lovers of good literature. In particular, given its brevity, it seems an appropriate reading for this evening of winter ahead (if possible, to create the necessary atmosphere, good reader installed in a comfortable chair, with the fire lit and a glass of cognac the hand) or to be discussed at these, essential and, praiseworthy book clubs, modern version of the literary circles, both are doing for the extension and improvement of the quality of reading in Spain.

Masterbation Question

many years ago as a teenager, I first visited together with my parents and others, the natural landscape of Desert Palms, between Benicassim and Castellón. From that brief visit I only remember the detail that the closure of the monastery could only access for men and the story that they bought a major garrafilla a sweet liqueur made by the Carmelite Fathers of the field with herbs as a secret formula that as explanatory leaflet read a long time was running down the family home.

Now, after half a century, stepping over the threshold of old age, I have returned back to the Desierto de las Palmas, of course, with different sensitivity and greater knowledge than I had then. So I know the name of "desert" that receives the place is on the ground that there was traditionally a place of meditation where suspects were leaving the ascetics only inhabitants of the hermitage and the name of "Las Palmas is because the abundance of" margalló "or palm, a species native to the area.

In the primitive hermitages appears that five would still be habitable for those who seek solitude and retreat a few miles from the busy city and beach. The most famous of the Mount Bartolo, whose name is taken from a hermit called the brother Bartholomew had to live here at home.

this intricate natural landscape rises from sea level, at the height of Benicassim, on a winding road that rises to the altitude of 480 meters. Before leaving the car park near the monastery (or back, if you prefer) should stop at the lookout, to see the valley spread out before our eyes in the direction of the nearby coast and done, if desired, photographs ) From here you can see the remains of the original monastery built between 1697 and 1733 and that because of torrential rains flooded and forced'm building a new monastery in safer place. The calm soul, contemplating this landscape.

Continuing with the car or on foot, as you prefer, the road then you get to the monastery again. It was built between 1784 and 1791 "following the traces of the Child Jesus brother Joaquin." The project was first approved by the Real Academia de San Carlos de Valencia, as I read on the website of the monastery.

The monastery has before it a wide entrance and is surrounded by a via crucis with ceramic tiles that tell the seasons. around his loom, guarded by fences, orchards, gardens, pleasant and quiet corners that invite meditation or at least, to stillness.

Sorolla. Vision of Spain

For a rare chance, I had the opportunity to visit the last few dates in Valencia, the exhibition "Sorolla . Vision of Spain. " Collection of the Hispanic Society of America . " When this collection was exhibited at the Museo del Prado (May 26 to September 13, 2009), part of the anthology "Joaquín Sorolla 1863-1923" I had a chance to see it, so the announcement to my unexpected, this last chance to see these works of Sorolla at Bancaja Cultural Centre (from October 1 to January 10, 2010) has been a pleasant surprise that I have hastened to exploit.

Joaquin Sorolla's paintings incorporated into the exposure of Bancaja's forty-eight in all, gathered in three different sets: first, the fourteen large panels charge the artist for Sir Archer Milton Huntington 2 for the Hispanic Society of 3 America who are accompanied by eight other paintings owned by the same institution, second, the twelve previous studies prior to large murals and third, the collection of paintings by Sorolla owned by Bancaja, with the awesome! Sad legacy to the head.

Sevilla. Nazarenes

Regarding the first, the fourteen murals in the Vision of Spain, (70 meters wide in total for 3 ½ high, each) restored in situ by a team of restorers English and U.S. led by Vicente cabbage, we can only marvel at the magnitude of the undertaking that occupied the artist from 1911 to 1919 and admire the results. I do not share the view of some who consider it decadent, topical and a customs and outdated. Sorolla painted what he wanted, according to the order made by the American tycoon, who first wanted a series of paintings of historical events highlights of Spain and Portugal. Are realistic studies of thoroughbred types, drawn from life, integrated natural and idealized landscapes that the artist deemed essential to the understanding of English life of his time. No I like them all equally. My favorites are, in order " Ayamonte. Tuna fishing "chronologically the last of the series (May-June 1919), work in which according to scholars and Thomas Garin surge sorollesco chord white and blue organizing composition" Then I like "Sevilla. The Nazarenes ", (March-April 1914), composition in the foreground, addressed the audience and the right side (the types of Toledo) of the giant panel The bread festival (February-December 1913).

afternoon sun

require separate mention the eight tables that belong to the extensive collection of works by Sorolla-hundred and fifty part-owned by the Hispanic Society and accompanying panels. Of these draws the immediate attention of visitors the monumental "Evening Sun " by its author considered the culmination of his maturity as an artist, not to mention the wonderful "Idyll in the sea " beach scene with bodies lying in the sun that represents the ideal Mediterranean as cultivated and pursued by Sorolla or bright and colorful "Leaving the bathroom " . By the way I've always been struck by the fact of them children and young men are completely naked, while they are dressed in long robes, which critics says, attributing to the evocation of the classical world that the artist represented. Magnificent are also portraits, especially that of Louis Comfort Tiffany operator 4 , full integration of the figure in a flowered landscape and color the most contentious of Echegaray old painter and Raimundo de Madrazo .

sad legacy

Finally, among the fourteen works of Sorolla Bancaja exposed property, stands out in itself, one of them "Sad legacy ", oil on canvas, painted by artist in 1899, already had occasion to consider in a previous trip to Valencia. Framed within a theme of "social painting" or "complaint" (remember the no less famous "And even say that fish is expensive ! ") this painting meant the international recognition of the English painter Sorolla and most famous of his time to get the Grand Prix of the Paris Universal Exhibition of 1900. Copy-sometimes it is wise to copy the text, Felipe V. Garin Llombart, curator of the exhibition, wrote on the subject and on the back of the poster with the reproduction of this painting, with which flatters Bancaja visitors:

" was painted in the summer of 1899 on the beach Cabañal, arriving Sorolla on holiday with his family willing to make some paintings for the Universal Exhibition in Paris the following year. The Sorolla account as intended, seeing how far a group of naked children at the Hospital de San Juan de Dios "hangover of society, insane, feeble or lepers ..." accompanied by a priest. Previous studies did, I doubt the picture, and were his friends and journalists in the writing of "The People" who encouraged him and gave him the title, even better than he had proposed, which was "Children of Pleasure" . The picture was sent to the Paris Exposition and together with other won the Grand Prix. The victory triggered the recognition of Valencia: the City was named "favorite son" and gave him a downtown street the city still endures.

The work, with long horizontal strokes and the narrow strip of sky in shades of purple, gives a dramatic overall tone to the scene, where children grow and patent defects and the monk, with his black habit made him think Beruete , as well recalls Javier Barón-in "the monks and ascetics of the great English masters of the seventeenth century." Received very mixed reviews, but certainly had a wide popularity and was a key way in his own painting. "

"Pillow Talk" and "The Girl with a Suitcase", two Italian films

DTT Channel 8 schedule usually good movies, in principle different from those offered, repeated a hundred times, other free and paid channels. This chain also has the healthy habit of double sessions include films of the same genre, detective, western, horror, comedy or drama, which engages the viewer programming cinephile sometimes until dawn. Will

some dates, Channel 8 Madrid had the, for me, pleasantly surprised, to issue two Italian movies followed: "Confidences" (1974) by Luchino Visconti and "The Girl with a Suitcase (1961) by Valerio Zurlini. Both are among my 'movies' favorite and is so happy to see me in the stillness of the night, which is the best time to see good cinema.

"Confidences" (Italian "Gruppo di famiglia in an internal") is the living testimony of Visconti, author of the original script and director, and then seriously ill. The quiet life of a mature and educated teacher who lives an old Roman palace, isolated from the world among his books and works of art, is severely disrupted by the arrival upstairs as tenants of a peculiar and rowdy "family", the principle unsettles habits of life of the protagonist, who, little by little, is accustomed to its existence even think to consider this group as the family he never had. My favorite scene in the movie is one that runs at night when young, Lietta, Stefano, Konrad, mounted a small orgy in the secret room of the teacher, while, as background music you hear the theme from "Il Silenzo" with the very personal voice Zanicchi Iva.

I love the interpretation of Silvana Mangano, fine, statuesque actress in her youth (Riso amaro, 1949), young Lina what was Marsini?, Including Helmut Berger, and upon all the Burt Lancaster, whose role smashing been allowed teacher in middle age to print a new twist to his career, far from the antics performed in his youth and ending his film career recognized as a great actor. Surely the political message of the film is already outdated, but the corruption of the bourgeoisie do not think it less today, in the Italy of Berlusconi, who in the heady 70's, but only by the melancholy that instills in all its sequences deserves the trouble to enjoy this masterpiece of cinema.

For "The Girl with a Suitcase" I recognize that I keep a special devotion. When I saw in the 60's, would more or less the same age as its protagonist, Lorenzo Fainardi (played by Jacques Perrin) and me - and who is not! - I would have liked to "redeem" the beautiful showgirl Aida Zepponi, the paper discovered Claudia Cardinale and it would take to work then with the greats of Italian cinema. It seems, though we did not know until much later that the film was shown in Spain with severe mutilations of Francoist censorship - Aida was a single mother and her relationship with the young Lorenzo was more explicit in the original version, "yet they contributed positively or negatively to my sentimental education, and I think a whole generation of young viewers. My favorite sequence is, of course, one in which Aida, taking a bath in the family mansion of Fainardi after surprising because the bathrooms are down the stairs black and stately as an Egyptian princess among the strains of the "victory march" Aida.
