http://www.oscarhuerta.com/chile.mp3 As part of a collection sui generis ABRACALIBRO Corporation International Publishers, Cuban writer and journalist José Antonio Gutiérrez Caballero better known among us by Josan CABALLERO, publicly released three titles in Miami this interesting editorial in the framework of the Miami Book Fair.
The event took place in Cuba Eight Art Center, whose president and director are Yeney Roberto and Ramos, respectively, a space that has become the place of promise, to meet Cuban culture, within a universal and transcendental. Musicians, poets, painters, collectors, bloggers, essayists, writers and scholars, meet weekly to celebrate the wonder of creation and the general plural in an atmosphere of closeness and warmth, where we can all share and socialize, directly, with the protagonists of the different forms of art, like a true confluence of creative styles and nationalities, we have to congratulate the owners, due to its consolidation in the socio-cultural landscape and recreational values \u200b\u200bof Florida, in the last two years.
As an alternative proposal has also emerged editorial ABRACALIBRO, that in 2009 we gave the Compass Magazine Miami, now an online magazine and Cultural Mosaic Florida, with a frequency quarterly, on paper, as well as the supplement Trotamar, Papalote Children's Building, which was created in response advertising the workshop Literary and Art Expression Trotamares Hello!, will soon have its seat in the very Cuba Art Center Eight to channel and develop the artistic vocation of many children of Miami Dade County.
Serve this preamble to introduce our ABRACALIBRO imprint, and within it the alternative proposal of its founding Series CHILDREN'S LIBRARY HISPANICS, a collection that is dedicated to publishing, in two ways (School and Family), the best child and universal heritage, halfway between now and the literary tradition of our people, but the biggest area of friendliness, which capture and shake the core values \u200b\u200bof the spiritual message about the training and education of new generations Hispanic: School and Family.
And like everything in life has its roots, the School and Family Library makes his homage to the founder of such collections "for instruction and delight" childhood and youth on the continent: Sagar and Blez Juan Bautista, who between 1839 and 1864, respectively, edits and rewrites, from Santiago de Cuba, the world, the seventeen books that comprise the famous series CHILDREN'S LIBRARY CUBAN, first attempt, in Castilian, to create a collection aimed to disclose, among the smallest, history, literature and cultural heritage of peoples, whose range exceeds the 49 editions during the nineteenth century.
The work of Juan Bautista Santiago Blez Sagar and universal has its precedent in the Youth Library (1750), English John Newberry, in Library Villages (1780), by the Frenchman Arnaud Berquin, and the Children's Library , conceived from 1778, by the German pedagogue Joachim Heinrich Campe, well known in Cuba by The English version of the young Robinson, 1779, by the poet, fabulist and English historian Tomás de Iriarte.
Considering the etymology of the word "library" must be Greek "biblion" means "book", while "Theke" talks "closet." To this is added the content of the diffuser and educational project of Juan Bautista Sagarra, when condensing the semantic value of word "library" in plain language, the English variant "library" that can translated as "library", in its broadest sense, and even very free.
On the other hand, THE LIBRARY OF HISPANIC CHILDREN, we are dealing with a project that requires the participation and consent of all interested and / or compromised in any way with the promotion , education and enjoyment of Hispanic children and youth, especially in Florida, needed to venture into the literary and cultural traditions of their parents and grandparents, so we need the support and subscription basis who are in their creative, theoretical research and publishing the highest sense of responsibility and commitment to a charitable cause, and proselytizing, which will allow the full identity and socio-cultural training and intellectual of the younger generation Hispanics, whose members have decided to do this in the future of this fruitful contact idiosyncratic and the American neocultural universal.
This Nov. 19, at 7:00 pm, took place presentation of the first three titles, created by Josan Caballero, for founding library LIBRARY OF HISPANIC CHILDREN, which was attended by leading personalities of culture and art in Miami, among which were the Aristide Cuban cartoonist, blogger Daniel Lázaro González Valdés (LADAGOVAL), Angel Rodriguez (by Angie Policy Printing Services), and journalist Nelson Rubio, among others, who chaired the event, along with José Antonio Gutiérrez Caballero, who praised with eloquent comments of his artistic work, education and publishing, that nurtured over this evening and he printed a special stamp to the end, after a musical ingredient, Josan had prepared for the attendees, which will be discussed at the end of this chronicle.
The first book was released With Scribble, written for preschoolers, and where little is co-author, from his illustrations, which are not "botched lines " as has been claimed in the Dictionaries, but the most endearing way of connecting with their pariguales, adults, and society in general, so the first surprise of the event was the presentation of Melisa Ortiz (8 years), which was added, suddenly, Sofia Rubio (7 years), daughter of Nelson, who entered immediately trust, compared to a painter's easel, to give samples of their vocations plastic, and that became a real game emulation of girls to see who had the most beautiful and quick drawing, to which both took the ground assault to achieve, in frank and friendly competition, each one of his doodles were the coolest.
sympathetically Everything that happened between them, while presenting the book Josan With a Doodle, whose sentence central Marti was chosen by its author, to summarize and call each of the component parts of the poems, taking into account the different dose levels and receiving content as well as plastic expressiveness of children according to their biological age and development or stimulation of their abilities and skills:
Comments on the first notebook is closed after reading Pages Infinite "poem instigator of the drawing, in this unique children's book, which purports to be a poetry book of poetry and labor to be used by parents and teachers, so they can follow the life cycle of their children and / or disciples, in their expressiveness and psychosocial development of children:
The managed environment and receiving what was happening was so magical, Nelson Rubio himself praised this great moment, as it seemed incredible that in the midst of so many hostile and controversial circumstances, may could you be holding a meeting of its kind in Miami, where those present were enjoying it at home, a children's book launch.
Watercolor: Landscape Décimas became the second book, presented by Knight Josan the nearly forty participants in the warm and friendly discussion group, which took place in Cuba Art Center Eight as part of the shows that leads to the XXIV International Book Fair in Guadalajara, Jalisco , Mexico, between 27 November and 5 December 2010.
As its name suggests, is a Watercolor decimario for children and youth, Josan written by Knight in 1976, but this is its third edition, revised and enlarged internalization as an exercise in poetics of landscape in the style of the great artists of the genre on the continent. Hence, it is very nice to hear their Décimas Landscape:
In this book, the author returns to the tenth as a starting point to get to the renewal of the traditional classical formula through "colored landscapes, which can unfold and reinvent it, since its original creation by the English Vicente Espinel, to create a " tenth with estrambote " of twelve verses, that Josan called "twelfth" with which reaches its highest expression in the "Black Landscape"
Another interesting fact is that the poems have a prologue written by the researcher, philosopher and blogger Javier Guzman Simon (son of Cubans living in Sevilla), who supports the work of Josan Knight, along with a brief study of Wichy War, already in 1979, left early evidence of the importance this initial book, created by José Antonio Gutiérrez Caballero, when I was a teenager.
also illustrations Margarita García Alonso, singular poet, painter and blogger (based in Le Havre, northwest of France), give this book a high level of intimacy and clear Cuban, within their apparent universality.
Finally, he was presented the greatest jewel of the collection, which constitutes Treasure Found, or The Children's Literary Series of Cuba to Latin America, Book One (1783-1857) of a historical research, which consists of four case studies for different periods of analysis.
The second part was completed by José Antonio Gutiérrez Caballero, in 1988, when he won the Scholarship Award economic Reason for , convened by the Center for Cultural Promotion "Alejo Carpentier" MINCULT of Cuba, and was dedicated to Children's Literary Series from 1858 to 1899, thesis resulted That boy The Golden Age, Centennial Essay Award The Golden Age 1989, published in book form during 1998, and with which he was conferred the Award La Rosa Blanca 1999, the Cuban Committee the YBBY, for its analytical rigor and depth.
However, in the event that blew the author commented on the many avatars of this first investigation, which was also his academic thesis, for the specialty of Philology, Cuban Literature, discussed before a prestigious jury in December 1986 that made Vicentina Antunes and Eliseo Diego, as president. The great Cuban poet above made up the prologue Treasure Found, and here are some memorable words of that text, which tops the list of luxury in the great book of Josan Knight:
But despite Treasury ... was a finalist in the essay genre Casa de las Americas Competition 1987, and in addition integrate all works published by Editions UNION, then their preparation as such, worked as a rehearsal for more than two years, with notations Soviet, while the book was published in English. In more than three occasions he was sent to the USSR, and returned to Cuba with more errors than those given in the previous time, so that the generated rupture and collapse of the socialist camp, delivered the copy to the UNEAC in 1989, falling text in an editorial lethargy insurmountable, until he delivered to Josan Knight in 2000 (11 years), this manuscript and negatives of the illustrations, without decision, to which the offender is one who manages another publication at any time.
A large trial, which had to wait another year to become a reality Published a new attempt, this time, managed by José Antonio Gutiérrez Caballero, as a co-publication between Editorial Gente Nueva, of Cuba, and Melvin , of Venezuela, so that, in 2001, fitted out the book again, with his artwork, which had to wait another nine years to materialize, due to the setbacks of the changes themselves in the homeland of Bolívar.
Although, in late December 2005, without the author's consent, he prepared a number of magazine in July as in January (18/2005), for Fair Book in Havana, to be held in February 2006, where he spent many of the illustrations Treasure Found, alongside "Conclusions" trial within the section that began this publication to exposure there that: "We believe that the Treasure Trove is the most serious systemic approach to the history of Cuban children's literature."
all very special and concise, but this did not prevent, as Josan told us, that he lost the final art, as some managers reported Gente Nueva, thereby , José Antonio Gutiérrez Caballero when you order a new copy of the CD , in 2009, thinking that she should stay in Cuba, with the test to be released by then, for the September to November 2001, we reported that computers were damaged and there was no record of Treasure Found.
A strange and overwhelming coincidence, since in 2005, someone had made use of this CD or a computer file, where the book was Josan Knight, who never appeared. "This is how you value our literary studies in the Cuban publishing houses," José Antonio Gutiérrez sentenced Knight to conclude by saying that at least "hairy spiders or snacks from Castro regime had not gotten away with it, because behind the loss or disappearance of the manuscript and edited, it was the hand of the CIA, as in Cuba was always said to justify any problem, but of some unhappy specimens from that in June 1988, I discovered and I announced the kidnappings of Elizagaray Seaweed, who is being lifted up again by some cultural officials of the regime. Here it is in my hands Treasure Found, the greatest joy after my lost childhood, recoverable only with this daily feast of creation. "
In this great event we know of poetry, tenth, literature and children's painting, dark Cuban history and felonies, which are still woven on the island prison. All told us Josan Knight, in a large Cuban apotheosis of lyricism and, until the author and blogger even took the opportunity to deliver Sunshine Awards Awards, distinguishing it with Articuweb, Alcala de Henares and he delegated to Daniel Lázaro González Valdés, for his blog Ladagoval and something else, like Nelson Rubio, as Personality of the Year 2010, with other artists, displayed in a previous article Josancaballero's Blog.
before giving way to the sale of books, with the corresponding author's signature, the versatile writer and journalist wanted to share with us the musical version of the song that he dedicated to the 33 miners Mina San Jose, in Chile, conceived by Josan text Caballero, the day of universal exploit that allowed a new birth of the mountain, with the help of God, first of all Chilean authorities The NASA (U.S.) and the prayers and good vibes from the family of Camp Hope, in Copiapo.
A warm and resounding surprise, it starts, first, of passionate poetry of José Antonio Gutiérrez Caballero, at second, with music by Oscar Huerta, Cuban singer, who lives in Cali, Colombia (which was the musician Teatrovivo Group of Cuba, Josan that led, with his wife, actress Maria Eugenia Garcia Gonce, between 1989 and 1999, respectively), and ultimately, with the beautiful voice of Karen indisputable , the wife of Oscar Huerta, Colombian-German singer.
can find the anthem of the 33 Miracles, written by Josan Knight, with music by Oscar Huerta, and the voice of Karen at the following website: was a moment of high-flying, as the song is catchy, tender, and this facilitated the integration of all and until some humming the melody of the chorus, so that, when finished, they drew a thunderous applause from the audience, and the final words of Josan Caballero, since the aim is to make the song becomes a hymn of crowds, style We are the world, bringing creative distances, rather than distancing them as a contribution and gift to these 33 Miracles of Copiapo, already became the symbol of hope and unity of all mankind.
Clasp Rubio Nelson put it, when he said all that bit of Miracles 33 would grow musically and popularly, from News 1020 AM, station where he serves as chief programming, as from Monday 22 November, would begin to promote the anthem of the 33 miners of Copiapo.
A great end to this activity class, where hope flourished in different ways, as two girls made us quiver with her plastic expressions, along with a poet and journalist who has created Editorial ABRACALIBRO in Miami, with a beautiful Library of Hispanic children, and the first three books in his library, making accompanied by a large Cuban journalism and Florida, which is Nelson Rubio, followed by numerous friends around and colleagues who sang the anthem together the 33 Miracles of Copiapo, in this new Miami site of promise, which is the Art Center Cuba Eight the best meeting point for universal Cuban culture.
