Book Description
Unlike European countries where the consolidation of town planning was based on legislative reforms, Latin America’s urbanismo mainly stemmed from urban plans for national capitals and metropolises. Austrian academic and planner Karl Brunner was hired in Chile, Colombia and Panama from the late 1920s to advise in the professional and academic domains, marking a shift from the so-called École Française d’Urbanisme (EFU) of Haussmannesque descent towards the Austrian-German Städtebau, While coordinating the municipal office and plan for Bogotá, Brunner translated his Manual de Urbanismo – the first textbook published in Latin America about the new discipline and the first to incorporate examples from local cities. Based on his 1924 course at Vienna’s National Faculty of Architecture Brunner’s Manual emphasized the ‘scientific system’ of the discipline. Brunner was the most influential figure of his time in the urban planning of the region, but has become overshadowed by Le Corbusier's and CIAM’s prevailing influence after the Second World War. Complete with a supporting introduction written by Arturo Almandoz, this volume includes the full copy of the original Manual de Urbanismo with an English translation of the synthesis. Further materials, including an extract of Karl Brunner's "Problemas actuales de urbanización" and an accompanying English translation of the text can be accessed at www.routledge.com/9781138778573

Ha sabido hacer durante nueva años exitosos negocios, en Europa. Aristid se encuentra en su vida ante un dilema con un cliente marroquí de nombre Yerabim que ha obtenido su fortuna ilícitamente, es ambicioso, protagónico y sin escrúpulos, vio que el negocio de Aristid era próspero decide aprovechar a su clientela selecta y tomar posesión de la anhelada esfera social en la que se desenvuelve. Cuando Yerabim decide secuestrarlo, recordó las palabras de su padre: Hoy están preparándose para su futuro y la felicidad está en el interior de cada uno de ustedes. No la busquen en el exterior, en las cosas materiales. Aún así llevó a cabo su cometido, ya que el éxito de Aristid lo abrumaba, siente envidia quiere deshacerse de él y lo llevan a una isla asiática. Él no sabe en qué lugar se encuentra, sin más ropa que la que trae puesta, pasa su primera noche arriba de un árbol y ahí se inicia su “desventura”. Pasado un tiempo la selva se vuelve su “hogar” le toma cariño, afecto y respeto. En esta selva asiática, Aristid reflexiona sobre su vida que desde que aprendió el negocio ha llevado una vida lujosa y siempre anhelante de tener más dinero. Aprende que no se trata únicamente de tener una posición económica holgada. Que hay otros valores que lo llevaran a otro tipo de superación. Su Día Importante llega cuando escucha a un anciano sabio decir a una joven: Esta vida es transitoria. Ustedes son parte del universo. Cada átomo que forma sus células es igual a los del árbol, la corteza terrestre, las estrellas, la luna, todo en sí. El amor es la principal razón de esta vida y tiene que vivirse sabia e inteligentemente. Esta joven le enseña que su potencial como hombre está dentro de él. Que él puede trascender todo lo que la concepción humana ha creado erradamente como la desarmonía, el miedo, la confusión y la envidia. Así emprende el viaje de la sabiduría que lo conducirá a la felicidad y a la paz espiritual.

Book Description
At Macedonio Fernández's funeral in 1952, Jorge Luis Borges delivered the following elegy: “In those years I imitated him to the point of transcription, to the point of devout and passionate plagiarism. I felt: Macedonio is metaphysics, Macedonio is literature.” This is the first book available in English that collects essays by the world's leading scholars on Macedonio Fernández, one of Borges's most important mentors and a still enigmatic thinker of the early 20th century. Macedonio's philosophy, metaphysics, ethics, and experimental writing laid the foundations for Borges's own theoretical and literary matrix. Nonetheless, Borges helped shape a myth of Macedonio as a thinker who could not translate his oratorial geniality into written intelligibility. So, despite the centrality of Macedonio to Borges's thought, his work has remained almost unknown to English-speaking readers. Contributors to this volume demonstrate, however, that this myth reduces the complexities of Macedonio's life and creative process, as each chapter shines new light on his texts. Conceived as both a companion for new readers of Macedonio's writings and an invitation for specialists to revisit his work through new perspectives, essays in this volume provide extensive background and bibliographical references, as well as English translations of Macedonio's original texts. This collection seeks to serve as a catalyst for the continued discovery and rediscovery of Macedonio Fernández's texts and the ways they might help us to rediscover the singularities of our own present moment.
