Las rosas de Orwell (Palabra En El Tiempo Ser.)
by Rebecca SolnitLAS ROSAS DE «Me encantó este libro. [...] Solnit nos presenta a Orwell como a un padre alegre, esperanzado, amante de la vida, que aprecia los sapos y a los bebés, pero, sobre todo, como a un jardinero tenaz y enérgico. [...] Un juego emocionante a través de la vida y la época de Orwell y a través de la vida y la época de las rosas».Margaret Atwood «En la primavera de 1936, un escritor plantó rosales». Así comienza el nuevo libro de Rebecca Solnit, una reflexión sobre un jardinero apasionado que fue, además, la voz más importante del siglo XX frente a la mentira y el totalitarismo: George Orwell. A partir de su azaroso encuentro con aquellas rosas que Orwell cultivó hace más de ochenta años y que siguen hoy rebosantes de vida en su jardín, la autora indaga en ese aspecto más desconocido de la vida del intelectual para descubrir en qué medida su devoción por las flores puede iluminar sus compromisos éticos y estéticos como escritor y como luchador antifascista. Con su característica capacidad para establecer conexiones inesperadas, Solnit entremezcla la vida y la obra literaria del autor de 1984, y su vínculo con la naturaleza y el mundo de los sentidos, con otras historias como la de las rosas de la fotógrafa Tina Modotti, la obsesión de Stalin por hacer crecer limones en un clima gélido, la Guerra Civil española, la crítica de Jamaica Kincaid al colonialismo o la industria del cultivo de rosas en Colombia. Una reflexión sobre el placer, la belleza, el lenguaje, la escritura, la esperanza y la verdad como actos de resistencia. La crítica ha dicho:«Bajo la batuta de Solnit, el género de la biografía se convierte en algo completamente diferente: deja puertas abiertas para los lectores y confía en que las abrirán. [...] Una magnífica biografía no biográfica escrita por una autora que sabe muy bien cómo contar una buena historia».Amy Stewart, The Washington Post «Los enamorados tanto de la naturaleza como del compromiso político querrán acurrucarse entre las páginas de este libro y reflexionar sobre una época en la que la naturaleza constituye un auténtico consuelo».Gaby Hinsliff, The Guardian «Solnit despliega todo su talento al servicio de su curiosidad».Suzannah Lessard, The New York Times Book Review «Llena de luz, [...] una carta de amor en prosa a las rosas, a Orwell y a la perdurable relevancia de su sensibilidad ética».Lyndsey Stonebridge, New Statesman «Tras su lectura, nadie verá igual 1984».Vogue «Solnit ha conseguido lo imposible: encontrar nuevos ángulos en la figura de Orwell. [...] Los lectores lo pasarán en grande».San Francisco Chronicle «Uno de los mejores libros de Solnit».Heller McAlpin, Los Angeles Times «Uno de los mejores libros de Solnit. [...] Su olfato para una buena historia no conoce límites».Heller McAlpin, Los Angeles Times «Este libro elegante y laberíntico reflexiona sobre Orwell con la brillante inteligencia y el optimismo característicos de Rebecca Solnit. Si orwelliano era sinónimo de oscuridad y opresión, ella nos descubre la vida del escritor a través de su amor por la jardinería, la naturaleza salvaje y el placer físico, su antídoto contra el sombrío puritanismo de los ideólogos.»Polly Toynbee, The Guardian «Todos sabemos qué odiaba Orwell, pero Solnit presta atención a lo que amaba. Las rosas de Orwell es una versión ingeniosa, fresca e impredecible de su vida y su época, y de los valores que apreciaba.»Dorian Lynskey

Lasting Love
by Caroline WrightThis gorgeous picture-book meditation on loss and family love is a useful tool for children navigating a first experience with death.When a family member or another loved one becomes ill, one of the scariest aspects of their sickness is the way they may change, both physically and in spirit. The feeling of loss can come so early as the person becomes more difficult to recognize. It's a hard thing for anyone to understand, and especially so for a child. This book offers a helpful visualization of a sick person's essence as a friendly creature who remains strong and warm, even as the illness progresses. The creature is always around and never tries to cheer the child up, but only serves to keep them company.Caroline Wright and Willow Heath clearly understand that, like the creature, a book cannot "fix" a painful situation or even make it a little better. Instead they simply reflect the pain of loss back to the reader and help them understand that they are not alone.
