CATA DE LIBROS. El libro de la risa y el olvido. Milan Kundera.

“La lucha del hombre contra el poder es la lucha de la memoria contra el olvido.”Comenzamos el año con la voz única de Milan Kundera, quizá uno de los grandes novelistas del SXX todavía con vida. Miramos hacia Kundera buscando afianzar los cánones de la novela de nuestro tiempo. «La novela—dice— es como una síntesis de la filosofía, la narración, los sueños, el reportaje y la autobiografía». Sin alejarnos del SXXI regresamos a la Europa de finales de los años setenta con su cuarta novela «El libro de la risa y el olvido», una obra que mezcla varios géneros, un conglomerado de imágenes, reflexiones y vidas ajenas, que confluyen en el mar de los fanatismos y el amor —temas recurrentes en esta obra. La Republica Checa, su difícil historia, está narrada con crudeza, pero siempre con lealtad a su propia estética. La historia de la República Checa se reconstruye a partir de los diarios de Tamina —protagonista de la historia— y las cartas de amor de Mirekz. Esta obra, como otras del autor tiene una estructura narrativa poco convencional que, entre otras cosas, nos ha motivado su inclusión en nuestro Club de Lectura. «El libro de la risa y el olvido» es difícil de clasificar. Sin ser un libro de difícil lectura, se requiere un lector activo y preparado para el encuentro con el peculiar universo kunderiano. «Milan Kundera nació en Brno (República Checa) en abril de 2019 cumplirá noventa años.En su lengua materna escribió, en estricto orden de escritura, el volumen de cuentos El libro de los amores ridículos y las novelas La broma, La vida está en otra parte, El vals del adiós (La despedida), El libro de la risa y el olvido, La insoportable levedad del ser y La inmortalidad. Ya en francés, las novelas La lentitud, La identidad, La ignorancia y La fiesta de la insignificancia; la obra de teatro en tres actos Jacques y su amo. Homenaje a Denis Diderot; y cuatro ensayos: El arte de la novela, Los testamentos traicionados, El telón y Un encuento.». Tusquets Kundera, desde hace algunos años, es uno de los grandes favoritos al Premio Nobel de Literatura. Además de novelista, es poeta, ensayista, crítico literario y musicólogo. La música está presente en gran parte de su obra. Fue y es un gran admirador de Cervantes a quien rinde homenaje en su literatura.  «Me veo a mí mismo como uno de los últimos artistas de la gran cultura centroeuropea, que está a punto de ser masacrada» En 1982 se publica la traducción de la obra por la editorial Seix Barral. Tusquets publica la última revisión de la obra en 2016.Traductor: Fernando de ValenzuelaCoordina la CATA la escritora Eva Losada Casanova.

Nearly 900 Rochesterians have already taken this course which is being given for the 21st time! Rationale: Our nation’s economy is being jeopardized by our expensive health care system which costs nearly twice as much per person as most other advanced nations. At the same time, our population is heavier and, in many ways, sicker than it as ever been. We rank approximately 30th among the nations of the world in expected longevity. Many health care professionals and members of the public have become interested in addressing these issues with simple and inexpensive lifestyle changes. This course is designed for them. Goal: Participants will learn the rationale behind eating a whole-food, plant-based diet. The power of lifestyle changes to prevent, arrest, and reverse our nation’s most expensive and devastating diseases—including obesity, diabetes, and heart disease—will be addressed. Participants will discover that a healthy plant-based diet is abundant as well as optimal for human health. They will learn how to nourish themselves, and their families and friends, with a diet free of animal products, and will be given advice on shopping for food, and eating at restaurants and social gatherings. They will be able to explain how this way of eating benefits their health, the future of the planet, the welfare of animals, and our nation’s prosperity and security. Physicians and other health care providers will learn how to empower their patients to take charge of their own health by moving as close as possible to a plant-based diet. Course Instructors: Ted D.
