Eduardo Berti

Yabanci Bir Baba

With sensuous imagery and musical cadence, Berti conjures up a star-crossed love story for a brother and sister in pre-revolutionary China. Their hearts' desires collide with their parents' strictness, superstitions, the delicate balance between modernity and tradition, and with the indelible memory of their grandmother, who visits the young girl in her dreams from the "imagined country" of her death.

The Imagined Land

Düşlenen ülke

In 2015, Eduardo Berti spent several weeks in residence at the University Hospital Centre in Rouen, France, observing and conversing with the staff of its palliative care department. From that experience he created this series of lightly fictionalized testimonials from nurses, nursing aides, doctors, administrators, social workers, volunteers, and the other people who make the unit tick. The result is a distinctly intimate and often poignant portrait of sickness and care, an unflinching look at death through the eyes of the people who work with it every day - but also a profound reflection on what it means to be alive.

Resumen: Esta antología recorre la producción literaria de dieciséis escritores argentinos que, por alguna u otra razón, han estado vinculados a la vida o a la obra de Borges, si no a ambas. Los cuentos dan cuenta de algún aspecto o de alguna faceta de Borges. Más aún, en alguno de ellos el propio autor de "El Aleph" aparece como personaje. "Galaxia Borges" refleja las huellas del maestro, claro está; pero en simultáneo cumple otro anhelo: el de proponer una especie de mapa o de retrato de una etapa en la historia de las letras argentinas.

Galaxia Borges

An inventory of fictional writings, this collection depicts outrageous inventions as conceived in the minds of their ingenious writers. There is Baby H. P., by Mexican author Juan José Arreola, which describes an electronic devise that mothers can use to convert their children's vitality into an energy source for the home. There is Kallocain, by Swedish novelist Karin Boye, which describes a totalitarian world of terror where citizens are forced into taking a "truth drug" that suppresses their opposition to authority, and various other fantastical inventions are also part of this collection.
