Recomendaciones para este<br />

LIBROS<br />
· La muerte de Artemio Cruz<br />
(Carlos Fuentes, México)<br />
La literatura suele ser la mejor<br />
manera de aprender historia. Éste<br />
clásico mexicano es una prueba<br />
de ello. La revolución, sus aciertos<br />
y errores, el caos político que le<br />
sucedió y las vivencias de sus<br />
protagonistas son algunos de los<br />
temas que ocupan las páginas<br />
de este libro, hechos carne en su<br />
protagonista, Artemio Cruz.<br />
En su lecho de muerte, Cruz se<br />
obliga a recordar. La condena<br />
de una memoria abrasiva, nos<br />
permite a los lectores armar, a<br />
través de distintos recuerdos<br />
del protagonista, una vida que<br />
representa la de muchos otros:<br />
quienes al finalizar la revolución<br />
mexicana, sacaron provecho del<br />
caos político basándose en la<br />
corrupción y la injusticia social.<br />
Los episodios de su memoria<br />
van desde fines del siglo XIX<br />
y se prolongan hasta los 60 y<br />
demuestran cómo un hombre se<br />
aleja de los valores de la revolución<br />
para convertirse en un miembro<br />
más de la elite de líderes que<br />
hundió al campesinado mexicano,<br />
robándole sus posibilidades y<br />
haciéndolo sufrir las eternas<br />
injusticias sobre su propia tierra.<br />
· Todo Mafalda. (Quino, Argentina)<br />
Seguramente, para quienes han<br />
tenido el gusto de conocerla,<br />
Mafalda es mucho más que un<br />
personaje de historietas creado por<br />
el dibujante y humorista Joaquín<br />
Lavado (Quino). Es una niña con<br />
preocupaciones de grandes y<br />
chicos, que encarna la idiosincrasia<br />
argentina, y ha cosechado con<br />
los años la admiración y el cariño<br />
mundial.<br />
En este inmenso libro, puede<br />
encontrarse además de todas las<br />
tiras de Mafalda, un manuscrito<br />
July/August 2006 Access Magazine • www.londonpubliclibrary.ca PAGE 5<br />
de García Márquez sobre la<br />
“Quinoterapia”, la cronología<br />
de vida de Quino, inéditos,<br />
presentaciones para televisión,<br />
la historia, su relación con otros<br />
personajes de comics y hasta una<br />
misma tira en los 12 idiomas que<br />
ha sido traducida.<br />
«Quino, con cada uno de sus<br />
libros, lleva ya muchos años<br />
demostrándonos que los niños son<br />
los depositarios de la sabiduría. (...)<br />
Comprobar esto en cada libro de<br />
Quino es lo que más se parece a la<br />
felicidad: la Quinoterapia», opina<br />
García Márquez.<br />
CINE<br />
· El Gallo de oro (Juan Rulfo-<br />
Roberto Gavaldón, México)<br />
Las inclemencias del sol, la tierra<br />
seca, el polvo creciendo en una<br />
nube que oculta y que miente, y los<br />
personajes que caminan a través de<br />
ella, constituyen el mundo que nos<br />
Rotary grows support for Reading Garden!<br />
presenta el universo creado o<br />
recreado por Juan Rulfo. En relatos,<br />
cartas de amor y fotografías, fue<br />
indiscutiblemente, uno de los más<br />
grandes artistas del siglo XX.<br />
Como El Gallo de Oro, varios textos<br />
para cine escritos por<br />
Rulfo fueron<br />
realizados,<br />
algunos con<br />
más faltas<br />
que logros,<br />
por distintos<br />
directores<br />
contemporáneos.<br />
En este caso,<br />
la historia es la<br />
de un humilde<br />
pregonero, que<br />
recibe un gallo<br />
dorado de pelea<br />
moribundo y lo<br />
revive con sus<br />
cuidados. A partir de entonces, la<br />
suerte en las ferias y sus palenques,<br />
la seducción de una cantante y el<br />
dinero, darán un giro en la vida de<br />
este pregonero que tal vez, vuelva<br />
al mismo lugar de donde nunca<br />
debería haber salido. “El que nace<br />
pa’ maceta no pasa del corredor”,<br />
<strong>London</strong> Rotary Club held its annual<br />
volunteer recognition barbeque in the<br />
Rotary Reading Garden in June. The<br />
event recognizes in particular those<br />
who make the Elegant Rummage Sale<br />
happen each year. At the event, Rotary<br />
President Jan Delaney (2nd from r.)<br />
and Rummage Sale Coordinator John<br />
Boyne(r.) presented a cheque for<br />
$39,167 towards their original $400,000<br />
pledge to Library Board Chair Jeff<br />
Schlemmer and CEO Anne Becker. The<br />
Rotary Foundation also gave $15,000<br />
towards the pledge.<br />
sentencia el relato.<br />
El Gallo rojo, realizada en 1964<br />
por el director Roberto Gavaldón,<br />
fue adaptada por Carlos Fuentes,<br />
Gabriel García Márquez y Roberto<br />
Gavaldón. Ocupa un importante<br />
lugar dentro de las 100 mejores<br />
películas del cine mexicano y<br />
constituye un documento que<br />
permite conocer los escenarios, la<br />
forma de hablar, las costumbres e<br />
historia del pais, ese testimonio no<br />
perecedero que es un orgullo para<br />
los mexicanos y una cita obligada<br />
para todo latinoamericano.<br />
PARA ESCUCHAR<br />
· Quién de nosotros (Mario<br />
Benedetti, Uruguay)<br />
Esta es la versión en audio de la<br />
primera novela de Mario Benedetti<br />
(publicada en 1953). Como todo<br />
audiolibro, nos aleja del aroma de<br />
las páginas, de la relación táctil con<br />
el libro, pero conserva la intimidad<br />
del rito de la lectura y la hace<br />
accesible en diferentes momentos y<br />
para todas las personas.<br />
En esta novela, Benedetti revela la<br />
historia de un triángulo amoroso a<br />
través de tres recursos: un diario<br />
personal, una carta y un cuento,<br />
respectivamente, pertenecientes a<br />
los tres personajes<br />
de la novela. Con<br />
su pluma magistral,<br />
construye la historia<br />
y sus protagonistas<br />
utilizando recursos<br />
que fueron<br />
aclamados por la<br />
crítica tanto en<br />
su lanzamiento<br />
como durante el<br />
transcurso de su<br />
carrera.<br />
La culpa, el<br />
pasado, el<br />
presente,<br />
los malos entendidos<br />
y el fantasma de los celos en<br />
una historia donde “El ausente<br />
era siempre el mejor”. Todo<br />
conducido por un realismo crudo,<br />
una obsesiva necesidad de crear<br />
convicciones y certezas ante la falta<br />
de claridad en los sentimientos.<br />
· A toda Cuba le gusta (Afro Cuban<br />
All Stars, Cuba)<br />
Este disco está compuesto por diez<br />
canciones del repertorio clásico<br />
cubano, interpretadas por una<br />
orquesta de cuatro generaciones de<br />
los mejores músicos cubanos. Así,<br />
la calidad y riqueza instrumental,<br />
celebra el sonido de las mejores<br />
orquestas cubanas del 50.<br />
Fue nominado para El Grammy en<br />
1998 y pertenece a la misma serie<br />
que el renombrado disco de Buena<br />
Vista Social Club.

Pay-what-you-can at the performanceThe unforgettable characters<br />
from Kenneth Grahame’s beloved classic spring to life in this<br />
sparkling, flash-fast, musical adaptation reset in the car-crazy 1950’s.<br />
Join Toady, as he tears up the countryside in several hot wheels,<br />
finally a Harley-Davidson! His passion for excitement has his<br />
slower-paced sidekicks, Mole, Rat and Badger, reluctantly bailing<br />
him <strong>out</strong> <strong>of</strong> scrape after scrape, from wild rides to court, prisons and<br />
a great escape. Finally, when Toad Hall is taken over by the evil and<br />
belligerent Weasel gang from the Wild Wood, the four friends must<br />
go into action to recapture Toady’s ancestral home!<br />

Why?<br />
Why does the Library spend so much time and effort<br />
designing, fundraising and producing a Summer Reading<br />
program?<br />
Our reasons vary ~<br />
• to foster a love <strong>of</strong> reading<br />
• to encourage children <strong>of</strong> all ages to read and use the<br />
library through<strong>out</strong> the summer<br />
• to act as a ‘reading bridge’ between school years<br />
• to provide an activity that is FUN!!<br />
