–cualquiera sea su lengua madre-<br />

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 />

<strong>of</strong> the colourful playing board and<br />

the design and printing <strong>of</strong> posters,<br />

registration cards, prize passes,<br />

comment cards, activity sheets, book<br />

report forms and other materials. In all,<br />

close to 100,000 items were produced,<br />

printed, processed and delivered by<br />
