CATALÀ SENSE DISTÀNCIES 2 (GENERALITAT DE CATALUNYA) (Ficción moderna y contemporanea)

La necessitat d'iniciar l'aprenentatge del català o d'ampliar-ne els coneixements es fa especialment difícil de resoldre a aquelles persones que, per motius diversos, no poden assistir als cursos presencials. Per això s'ha dissenyat l'obra Català sense distàncies, amb materials pensats i elaborats per a l'autoaprenentatge, fet que no exclou la possibilitat d'utilitzar-los en un curs reglat amb professor.Els continguts es distribueixen en sis graus didàctics que reben alhora un tractament teòric i pràctic. Hi són objecte d'anàlisi els textos com a unitat comunicativa per excel·lència i la gramàtica entesa en el sentit més lat del terme: aspectes de morfosintaxi, lèxic, fonètica i ortografia. Es presenten, a més, uns temes d'estudi que permetran tenir uns coneixements generals suficients sobre l'origen, la història i la situació actual de la llengua catalana. La profusió d'activitats acompanyades de les claus corresponents afavoreix l'autoavaluació dels progressos assolits.La programació del curs es basa en els programes de llengua catalana dels nivells intermedi i suficiència elaborats per la Secretaria de Política Lingüística. La consecució d'aquests nivells vol dir tenir els coneixements de llengua catalana necessaris per a desenvolupar-se amb normalitat, correcció, fluïdesa i creativitat en qualsevol situació comunicativa oral i escrita.

LAS PLEGARIAS DE MI BOCA (PARDO MURRAY, EDMÉE) (Ficción moderna y contemporanea)

Nunca se hará buena literatura si no se tiene un toque de músico y uno de artista plástico y gráfico. Déme Pardo es dueña de un registro musical y visual en cada frase, y esa es una de las razones de que su narrativa se escuche y se mire con nitidez y una exactitud que son como superficies de agua profunda y fluida. Precisamente el agua es un elemento rector de este libro: las islas, los ríos, las albercas, los lagos son espacios propicios para que los personajes descubran o simplemente padezcan a ciegas las tensiones primordiales de sus vidas. Sólo que la autora es también sensible a la tierra y al aire: cuentos como “El tren” y “El globo” están destinados a todas las antologías de la narrativa mexicana del naciente siglo XXI. Y el cuarto elemento, el fuego, habita a Déme Pardo tanto como a sus criaturas: fuego de vivir, fuego de abrasar, fuego de acción intensa y para siempre. El Premio Internacional de Narrativa, organizado por la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, el Colegio de Sinaloa y Siglo XXI Editores, alcanza con este volumen un prestigio irreversible.

Richard, the oldest of the Symington offspring, followed Ronald into medicine, but he can't escape his father's shadow.
