The Ugly Bourgeoisie Editions<\/strong> just launched The Penicillin Man and Other Stories<\/em><\/strong>, a work by the Murcian author, based in Madrid, Ignacio Ramos<\/strong>The presentation will be on next Thursday, May 30<\/u>, in his Caravaca<\/u> The event will be held at the Convent of the Carmelite Fathers at 8:30 p.m., and the author will be accompanied by journalist Juan de Dios Mart\u00ednez Mateo and the editor of The Ugly Bourgeoisie<\/strong> Francisco Mar\u00edn.<\/p>\n

The Penicillin Man and Other Stories<\/em><\/strong> It is set in the humble and harsh landscape of the fields of northwestern Murcia, in the solitude of stones that dot the mountainsides, or in the orchards formed by patched terraces, where the endearing people who inhabit this book live, work, love, cry, and laugh. They are simple people, of whom no record will ever remain; oblivious to the flash of memorable deeds, but with deep souls that suffer the pain that so often visits them, and feel the tenderness of seeing the birth of a child, a lamb, a bird... And they love with a silent heart, almost without proclaiming it.<\/p>\n

Some may underestimate these villagers, but they are the ones who dug their gardens with their claws, who worked these lands with their sweat, who leveled the hills, festooned their terraces with banks, and carried water from the springs in ditches to carry it to their crops; they sowed and harvested the wheat that gave the rest of us our bread. Yes, they were important people, even if we never recognize their merits.<\/p>\n

In the mid-20th century, with the wounds of the civil war still fresh, life in these camps was even more difficult. And although sometimes living was so hard that dying meant eternal rest, people fought for survival, to support their families, to improve their precarious situation. These stories belong to those brutal years, but searching for the good within them, which there was.<\/p>\n

Thus, within the pages of The Penicillin Man, we find Petra the Piconera, protecting her children, even if she had to hide behind lies; the wife of P\u00faa, enduring her role as a submissive wife; the brothers of the river, fighting against nature; Juli\u00e1n, forging his pride with blows of the hoe\u2026 Among them, we also find Fidel and Anto\u00f1ita, defending their fairground love; Perico the Fool, anxiously seeking affection; Do\u00f1a Mercedes, refusing to admit her loneliness; the sisters Matilde and Teresita, earning their heaven among pots; the miller's daughter, her love devoured by wolves\u2026 And, finally, the \u201cpenicillin man,\u201d a kind of magician arrived from civilization, determined to overcome difficulties and dangers to save the sick and those in love.<\/p>\n
