  • El efecto Berkeley
    The Berkely Effect
    El efecto Berkeley
    Author:
    JUAN ARNAU
    Publisher: EDITORIAL PRE-TEXTOS
    Philosophy in the theatre. Everything is conveniently arranged so that we can hear the dialogues: the characters, the scenery, the special effects. The real drama of a life and thoughts in their context. The voices and impressions that move us prevail, interpreted for the relief and enjoyment of the soul. Scenes from a life, in this case that of Berkeley, are like a collection of postcards.

    The Huemul
    Author:
    Jorge Guasp
    Publisher: Editorial Kolima
    "The Huemul" is a wonderful story about a deer who was born to be free, yet submits to domestication, domination and even the worst kinds of humiliation. And all because of fear. Fear of the unknown, of leaving his comfort zone and daring to live his dreams. This is a fable about how to transform our fears in order to achieve a fuller life, the life we truly deserve.
