Claudio Rodríguez Library |
The town library received a donation of books from The British Council library, more than they could handle, so we were allowed to enrich our collection. We brought back classics of English literature along with abridged versions for students of English. They have found a good home.
ASEDOW is very grateful to the library staff for thinking of us when disposing of this surplus book stock.

Bring back the Le Corbusier inspired buildings.
Built to house the multitudes of homeless after the Second World War,

the 1950s.
The housing shortage, especially for workers in the hospitality sector,
workers in holiday resorts could be addressed.
We could have valuable and valiant initiatives, just like La Maison Radieuse.

Una tertulia

There are two sides to every story
Shi Huangdi. The name of the Chinese Emperor who ordered history books to be burnt. He wanted history to begin with himself.
‘El
Infinito En Un Junco’ has many interesting facts. This book recommendation came up in our talks yesterday.
Papyrus plant Egypt |
We touch on many subjects.
Yesterday
we began by talking about the terrible plight of the people in Palestine and
ended up talking about Peruvian oral tradition.
We had the
same oral tradition in Ireland. Academics have been responsible for rescuing languages that
were in danger of extinction, places where they did not use the written word to
pass down folk memory.
Lady Jane
Wilde, the mother of Oscar, was a Gaelic speaker. She helped collect the memory
of the Irish people in her written publications and this goodness of spirit on
her part no doubt contributed to her son’s humanity, empathy and storytelling
ability.
Our
conversations weave in and out effortlessly, making connections.

The connection between morals and art
https://www.vqronline.org/essay/moral-prerogative-oscar-wilde-look-fairy-tales
We love this essay, The Moral Perogative In Oscar Wilde: A Look At The Fairy Tales by John Allen Quintus, which was published in 1977 in Virginia Quarterly Review and we really appreciate the easy access to the wonderful Virginia University publication.
We hope you enjoy it too.
