«El nombre de Juan Ramon Jimenez esta indisolublemente ligado al titulo de «Platero y yo», una de las obras mas conocidas у universales de las letras hispanicas. Y a pesar de ello cabe afirmar que «Platero y yo» fue victima de su exito popular. El propio autor protestaba contra tanta lectura superficial aferrada al sentimentalismo facil de la anecdota. Richard Cardwell, uno de los primeros especialistas en el gran andaluz universal, explica en la Introduction cual fue la intention basica de Juan Ramon Jimenez у el objetivo que perseguia: la propagation de los grandes ideales de la pedagogia cultural del krausismo. La prosecution de esta guia, sin disminuir el encanto, amplfa el interes de la lectura. Porque a la vez que se senalan todos los recursos del arte literario, se nos descubren las verdaderas raices de la universalidad de un libro tan conmovedor y, en apariencia, tan sencillo.»

Urban street art is an art form that reflects society at the time the art work was created. It can be a remark on something in the media, current events, or it can be the artist's own personal comment. I street art, the motive, of course is important, but also the message — often a reaction or a counter-reaction to current affairs, that the artist wants to communicate to the public. And street art is easily apprehended because of its simple visualization. In the aftermath of July 22nd 2011, street art artists reacted in their own way to the horrendous acts carried out that day. In Oslo there were many different Oslo paintings and messages of support, and all around Norway artists put up stencils in memory of those who were taken away. It was also a way for the artists themselves to mourn. These last few years, the Norwegian street art scene has gone from an anonymous existence to gaining international recognition. With the release of Street Art Norway V.2 we want to communicate this development to a wider audience.

Entre los grandes escritores del siglo XIX, Lev Nicoláievich Tolstói (1828-1910) ha sido calificado como genio único, sin equivalente en ningún otro país. Hijo de un acaudalado terrateniente que le dejó una fortuna inmensa, se lanzó por la vía de la disipación hasta que su participación como oficial durante la guerra de Crimea le hizo volverse hacia unos valores humanistas y continuar una vocación literaria en la que ya se había iniciado antes de la guerra. El cambio afectó a sus convicciones espirituales más íntimas y desembocaría, al final de su vida, en una crisis moral y religiosa que derivó hacia un cristianismo evangélico radical. Al comienzo de esta etapa escribe Ana Karenina, en la que Tolstói refleja su visión de la sociedad urbana, símbolo de los vicios y el pecado, en oposición a la vida sana de la naturaleza y del campo. De ese mundo necio y patológico de la ciudad es víctima Ana Karenina, que se ha convertido en una figura clave de la literatura universal.

The visionary and creative shots of day-to-day reality by a child of our time. Considered by many the most representative of Italian photographers, for almost fifty years Gianni Berengo Gardin has been a narrator attentive to everyday life in all its multiple aspects and in its evolution, having immortalized the story of Italy in over 1,250,000 pictures. For his work, he prefers black and white because color distracts the photographer and the viewer. And the images are what counts. People, objects, close-ups, historical monuments. Images that are concrete, never abstract, but above all real images. It's hard not to perceive the creative and visionary component of his snapshots, however much they are attentive to the day-to-day reality of humanity and its communities.
