This Friday, February 1st, we will feature the presentation of the book "Un mal espa\u00f1ol" by Cieza native Federico de Arce at the Padre Salmer\u00f3n Municipal Library at 8:00 p.m.<\/p>\n
Mochuelo Libros is releasing a new book conceived in Toledo. This time, author Federico de Arce launches a collection titled \u00c9cfrasis, a collection of literary works that also reflect on visual works.<\/p>\n
A Spanish Evil is a long poem that connects with the stark and shocking nature of Goya's work, traveling back to the 19th century to see through the eyes of Ram\u00f3n Casas, making the darkness portrayed by Berlanga tactile. It seeks to understand the incomprehensible... to see if through this vile effort the madness of division can end.<\/p>\n
About Federico de Arce:<\/strong><\/p>\n Federico de Arce (Cieza, Murcia, 1968) holds a degree in Philosophy and Literature and teaches Literature at the Sefarad Institute in Toledo. He writes under his own name, but also under the names of his heteronyms, including Ismael Alcayna, Jos\u00e9 Luis de la Bodega, Anna and Hans Schliemann, Abraham Abravanel, and the Chinese poet Hu Zi, whom he considers his mentor. He is the author of the preliminary study El diario de Paco esteta y otros relatos (The Diary of Paco Esteta and Other Stories) by Francisco Rojas; the introduction, epilogue, and biography of the sculptor Alberto S\u00e1nchez, collected in Alberto. Encuentros en Toledo 1895-1995; and numerous texts of aesthetic reflection that have appeared in various specialized magazines and catalogs. He has published the novels \u00bfPor qu\u00e9 no hay una Hofbr\u00e4uhaus en Toledo? (Why Isn't There a Hofbr\u00e4uhaus in Toledo?), La voz de El Shaday (The Voice of El Shaday), and La vieja (The Old Woman), and the poetry collections Miel de Brujas (Witch's Honey) and Aguas arriba de mi madre (Upstream of My Mother). A selection from his book "In the Guest House" appeared in the magazine El signo del gorri\u00f3n. Winner of the Dulce Chac\u00f3n literary competition with "Piratas," he is the author of the essay "Dulce Chac\u00f3n, the Spider Woman." Inspired by "Waiting for Godot," he wrote and directed "Pleased to Meet You," a rock opera recognized by the Ministry of Culture.<\/p>\n However, the editors find greater merit in certain biographical aspects of the author: his having managed to get used to waking up early, over the decades, to meditate; his having transformed a deserted urban wasteland into a garden destined to be the pride of the people of Toledo; his ability to escape to the countryside, to Marjaliza, to read and write by the warmth of the fire.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This Friday, February 1st, we will feature the presentation of the book "Un mal espa\u00f1ol" by Cieza native Federico de Arce at the Padre Salmer\u00f3n Municipal Library at 8:00 p.m.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6022,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ciezaentumano.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6021"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ciezaentumano.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ciezaentumano.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ciezaentumano.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ciezaentumano.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6021"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/ciezaentumano.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6021\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6023,"href":"https:\/\/ciezaentumano.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6021\/revisions\/6023"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ciezaentumano.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6022"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ciezaentumano.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6021"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ciezaentumano.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6021"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ciezaentumano.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6021"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
