HÉLÈNE BERR: KAWAKAMI HIROMI

"When I write" Jewish "does not translate my thoughts, because to me there is no such distinction: I do not feel different from others, nunca llegaré a considerarme parte de un grupo humano segregado, quizá por esto sufro tanto, porque ya no comprendo. Sufro al ver la maldad humana. Sufro al ver cómo el mal se abate sobre la humanidad: pero como siento que no formo parte de ningún grupo racial religioso, humano (porque siempre implica orgullo), sólo me sostienen mis luchas y mis reacciones, mi conciencia personal."

En este hermoso párrafo se contiene la esencia principal del Diario de Hélène Berr, un libro tan real como la vida misma, y por ello emotivo y cargado de un significado que pocas obras pueden alcanzar. Junto al famoso Diario de Ana Frank, constituye uno de los most revealing documents on the persecution of Jews during the dark years of Nazism, in this case in the German-occupied Paris.

Hélène wrote this diary in April 1942 and March 1944. Belonging to a Jewish family, she and her siblings were all born in Paris, and his father had even fought in the service of France during the First World War. This is important to understand why Helen, as she herself admits, does not perceive as their own Jewish identity. She feels a girl again, a European or French like so many, but the suffering of other Jews will feel closer to this group I would have liked at first.

Hélène is a brilliant student at the Sorbonne when Paris is occupied by the Nazis during the Second World War. Music lover and avid reader, she Hélène will darken the city that much light and happiness he has brought so far with the presence of the Germans and the publication of the first measures against the Jews. His world of classes, lectures and meetings with friends, concerts and tours of environments such as the Luxembourg Gardens, begins to crumble in an expedited manner, although she tries to maintain normalcy in his life as far as possible. To this helps Jean Morawiecki the presence of a young student which falls in love with Hélène and will be the final recipient of the Journal .

One of the first laws passed against the Jews is the obligation to wear the famous yellow star sewn into clothing. Hélène takes from the beginning, because he thinks it is a sign of courage, solidarity with those who carry it, but not because you feel too identified with it. In this regard we are told, in the entry for June 8, 1942: "It's the first day I feel really on vacation. Makes a sunny day, very fresh after yesterday's storm also (...) is the first day that I will wear the yellow star. Are the two aspects of modern life: the freshness, beauty, youth of life, embodied by this morning clear, barbarism and evil, represented by the yellow star. "

But the first blow which will shaken the foundations of his optimism is his father's arrest and deportation to the Drancy camp in June 1942. Although it will be released later, this is the beginning of the nightmare for Berr. Hélène be involved then more than ever in helping others, working with other young people in a solidarity organization dedicated to locating and protecting Jewish children whose parents have been deported. Gradually the pages of the newspaper was overshadowed. Hélène still trying to live within the nomal, but the departure of her beloved Jean, who left Paris to fight in Africa with the Free French forces and the growing fear of deportation, they fill their testimony of reflections on mankind of the young reaches a height worthy of praise. On the other hand, it is surprising that the literary quality off these pages. Some paragraphs are really touching and, above all, contain an astounding capacity for analysis in a girl her age:

"I have a duty to write, because we need to let others know. Each hour of the day is repeated the painful experience is to realize that others do not, do not even imagine the suffering of other men and the evil that some inflict on others. And I'm trying to tell this painful effort. Because it is a duty, is perhaps the only one who can meet (...) For how to heal mankind, but first to reveal all their corruption, how to purify the world, but making him understand the magnitude of the evil he commits? "

"I have a fear of not being here when Jean returns (...) But it is not fear, because I have no fear of that could possibly happen, I would accept it, because I have accepted many hard things and I have a character who rebels against a penalty. But I fear that my beautiful dream can not be completed, done. No fear for me, but for how great it would have been ".
Finally
Hélène fears are confirmed. In March 1944 he was arrested and deported with their parents, first to Drancy and then Auschwitz. Three die shortly before the end of the war. Hélène was then 23 years. Through these pages, their testimony and their feelings still survive, leaving only a guess of the suffering that accompanied so many people during those fateful years. His Journal is certainly a lesson in humanity from which all can and should learn.

How Often Can I Take My Benzonatate

Journal: The sky is blue, white ground

Whenever I think in Japan, a country I love to meet someday, I imagine people are very busy, working long hours and with unusual efficiency. In contrast, the novels written by Japanese authors are just the opposite. Transmit peace and serenity that I have not yet found in any other literature. Represent a relaxation exercise, a kind of inner journey towards self-discovery, and create an environment where the rush and stress have no place.

me is what has happened again with this book, which has been praised by critics and the public (which is unusual), and is the first novel translated into Castilian of Kawakami. This writer is very popular in his country, and indeed has received several awards throughout his more or less brief literary career. His name is added because so many others, Banana Yoshimoto, Yukio Mishima, and famous and Haruki Murakami, among a long list of them, we are becoming better known thanks to the warm welcome popular literature in Japan is getting our country for a while.

As usual in these novels, the narrative flows in a quick and easy. The language is clear, no frills. The passages remind us of normal events everyday life of people. And again the stars are incomplete beings, people who do not find their site or their happiness in the society around them. Loneliness is your home, and that is why we are attracted to those who are like them, souls that survive each day without really knowing how. So are our two protagonists, Professor Matsumoto and his former student Tsukiko. that after years without ever being found by chance in a pub and start talking. From there is a succession of meetings, some by chance and others planned, in which both they get to know while enjoying pleasant moments of conversation between sake and tasty meals.

The book reads like una gran historia de amor, y no en vano es así como aparece en el título. Una historia que nace y se va haciendo fuerte a medida que avanzamos en la lectura, pero condenada en principio al fracaso por la enorme diferencia de edad entre los protagonistas y la tendencia a la soledad y la introspección de ambos, que dificultan aún más ese mutuo entendimiento. Sin embargo, a pesar de estos obstáculos, ese amor no deja de crecer, y el lector tiene el privilegio de vivirlo casi como un "voyeur", viéndolo afirmarse en cada encuentro, en cada suceso cotidiano que acontece a la inusual pareja. Hasta que la propia Tsukiko se da cuenta de ello. Y ya no habrá vuelta atrás. Precisamente es la voz de Tsukiko, convertida en narradora, la que nos lleva de la mano en esta plácida aventura, desde el mismísimo principio:

"Aquella noche bebimos cinco botellas de sake entre los dos. Pagó él. Otro día, volvimos a encontrarnos en la misma taberna y pagué yo. A partir del tercer día, pedíamos cuentas separadas y cada uno pagaba lo suyo. Desde entonces lo hicimos así. Supongo que no perdimos el contacto porque teníamos demasiadas cosas en común. No sólo nos gustaban los mismos aperitivos, sino que también estábamos de acuerdo en la distancia que dos personas deben mantener. Nos separaban unos treinta años, pero con él me sentía más a gusto que con algunos amigos de mi edad."

To make it even more appetizing, editing Cliff is a true gift, he is very careful and adds even more charm to the work. Are you overwhelmed by consumerism and bustle of this time, dive into this story and see how shadow away any stress. And how simplicity can narrate a story of love so complicated. Although after all, is there any love story that is not?


already less than two weeks to due date, but it seems that we will come out Nuria staggering and has now decided to keep warm in the belly of his mom. For if I had time to do it later, I wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a New Year filled with happiness. I hope that this Christmas so special as it will be for me. Best wishes from this little corner of the blogosphere.

Quotes For Master Of Ceremony

PAOLO GIORDANO: The loneliness of primes

"The prime numbers are evenly divisible only by 1 and themselves. They take their place in the infinite series of natural numbers and are, like all the other, sandwiched between two other numbers, although they more separated. They are lonely numbers, suspects, and so charmed Mattia, who sometimes think contained in this series by mistake, like pearls strung on a necklace, and sometimes they too would want to be like everyone else, ordinary numbers, and for some reason could not (...) Mattia and Alice thought he was that, two lonely and lost twin primes, near to but not together. "

This paragraph explains perfectly the title of a novel that has captivated and thousands of readers, and among whom I include me. Loneliness prime number is one of those love stories impossible that in this case rests on two young people who are broken inside, each for different reasons, and that throughout their lives together again and again to finally again separated. It is as if destiny insist on denying them a future together, and both Mattia and Alice will have to fight this invisible force that seems to condemn them inexorably.

The two main characters are extremely complicated, and that makes them very attractive in the eyes of the reader. Each carries a terrible secret that away from the "normal"-a concept whose existence is questionable, "and makes them strangers before the eyes of others. This is even more true in adolescence, that period where being different is often associated with social isolation that can do much damage at this age. The burden crawl Mattia and Alice were weighed respectively throughout his life, and influence social relationships and their way of facing the future. However, although both will live their lives separately, the force that draws them together plays in key situations in which both feel that fulfillment and happiness that only sit next to the right person at the right time.

The truth is that in this book I liked everything from the characters exude a sadness and loneliness that we can not help but feel over the pages until Giordano style, simple but fluid and beautiful , a prose that reads easily and can be enjoyed from the very beginning. But surely it is this inability to reach fullness, such obstacles to happiness, what attracted me most of the book, because I firmly believe that real life is full of similar examples, not only in love but in all the aspects that make our existence, friendship, work, family. .. And the vast majority of the time is not destiny, but our own psyche, our prejudices and mental burdens, which prevent us from achieving what you truly want. This is what happens in the book. Mattia and Alice could actually be normal numbers if they wanted, but it is their personal injury who would become two prime numbers used to not really ever found.

Loneliness of prime numbers is the first novel of this young author, Paolo Giordano, and definitely provides a great debut for the Italian writer. We hope to continue delighting in the future with such touching stories like this. Me and has earned me as a reader.
