En cada palabra que escribo, dejo un pedazo de lo que siento. Hay ausencias que solo encuentran su voz en el papel, recuerdos que se convierten en versos cuando el corazón calla. Y en cada línea, un eco de amor, de nostalgia y de un adiós que nunca se olvida. Perder a alguien cambia muchas cosas. No siempre de golpe. A veces solo te das cuenta de que ya no eres el mismo de antes. Este espacio es para quienes atraviesan ese momento. Para quienes siguen adelante mientras por dentro algo duele. Para que quien lo lea sepa que no está solo en ese dolor.

Before the 19th century, the Greek word stasis meant sedition. The word revolution did not exist. Exploring the roots of everything he saw around him, James Leaf invites us to consider the origin of art, the uses of conversation, the meaning of solidarity, and the plurality of the self. Beyond the moral passion of dramas he directed, even at his lowest moments, Leaf records feeling “the germ of some stubborn genius.”

Великая поэма, праздник нелепости и гротеска, от которой парадоксальным образом отсчитывают историю русского реализма.

Escrever sempre foi um sonho e ao mesmo tempo uma necessidade. Da adaptação de textos bíblicos, passando por grandes parceiros de composição, cheguei aos primeiros arremedos de poemas, rabisquei textos tornados em canções, até pisar e cultivar o solo fértil de Todo canto é lugar. A sensação ao vê-lo concluído é de que há muito ainda por ser dito e escrito. A vida ainda pulsa e os sonhos não envelheceram.

In ihnen zeigt Büchner Menschen im Spannungsfeld von Macht, Freiheit und existenzieller Not – mit einer sprachlichen Präzision und psychologischen Tiefe, die ihrer Zeit weit voraus waren. Auch die Erzählung Lenz zeugt von Büchners einzigartiger Fähigkeit, innere Zustände und seelische Grenzerfahrungen literarisch erfahrbar zu machen. Seine Texte brechen mit klassischen Formen, verzichten auf einfache Antworten und stellen die großen Fragen nach dem Menschen in einer oft widersprüchlichen Welt.
