  • Title: El Gran Zoo Author: Nicolas Guillen First edition Signed by Nicolas Guillen.     El pasado año se celebró el 20º aniversario de la muerte del poeta cubano Nicolás Guillén, símbolo de la lírica antillana junto con José Martí. Ahora, con este motivo, se recupera en España uno de sus libros más singulares, 'El gran zoo', un bestiario irónico y crítico con ilustraciones de Arnal Ballester.

    Publicado por Libro del Zorro Rojo, 'El gran Zoo' es un objeto libro con unas impresionantes ilustraciones en color que ha dibujado el catalán Arnal Ballerter, Premio Nacional de Ilustración en 2008, y que acompañan a cada uno de estos poemas plagados de humor y que en ocasiones se convierten en fábulas con moraleja. Unos textos en los que Guillén (Camagüey, 1902-La Habana,1989), cuya vida estuvo marcada por el fuerte compromiso social y político, se torna jovial, irónico y mordaz para construir un zoo como metáfora del mundo. Aunque algunos críticos lo señalan como la metáfora de Cuba y de los cubanos. Nicolás Guillén, la voz de la poesía negra y mulata, comenzó a escribir los primeros poemas de 'El Gran Zoo' en 1958, durante su exilio en Buenos Aires, y los publicó sueltos un año más tarde en la revista 'Lunes de Revolución'. Finalmente, en 1967 fueron reunidos en un volumen, publicado por el Instituto Cubano del Libro. Considerada obra clave de la poesía del siglo XX, el propio Guillén dijo que era el vínculo que le unía a las figuras elegidas, amigos, enemigos o conocidos.

    Para Selena Millares, en 'El Gran Zoo' "se alternan los grandes espacios, el de los agentes del bien y del mal, respectivamente; naturaleza y civilización. El primero identifica un mundo primigenio de inocencia ultrajada que se quiere recuperar, y el segundo, toda una plaga de maldiciones, que habla de represión, racismo y miseria.

    1st Edition

      This is the second-best way to expose yourself to the particular genius of Frank Zappa (music is the best, after all)--through his own words. In addition to being an idiosyncratic American composer of some degree of controversy, Zappa was an orator of no small ability or scope. He was known for his ability to expound at great length (and to hilarious effect) on any number of topics. The Real Frank Zappa Book faithfully captures this side of its author, composed of essays on everything from his background and upbringing, to politics, capitalism, and raising children. Zappa takes the opportunity to dispel some of the most pervasive rumors that surrounded him right up to (and even persist after) his death in 1993 (no he didn't do drugs, or sleep with all those groupies). If you're familiar with the man, you will be able to hear his distinctive enunciations (aided by the bold-facing of certain words and Zappaisms) as you read the assorted road stories, his views on making music for a living, and scenes from two--count them, two--organized hearings on obscenity in music. Of course, the chapter titles speak for themselves and include such Zappa winners as "All About Schmucks," "Marriage (As a Dada Concept)," and "America Drinks and Goes Marching."
