Cuando uno está instalado en la Presencia, ésta es intemporal y no está localizada en ninguna parte ni en un tiempo preciso; la Presencia, ES. En la Presencia se vive de una forma en la que no hay nada que ganar, nada que adquirir y tampoco nada que perder. Incluso en tus desplazamientos te puedes encontrar fisicamente en Roma, Paris o Berlin, pero siempre estas, como si dijeramos, en casa. La Presencia nunca puede estar afectada por la temporalidad ni por el espacio. Asi pues, no hay que preocuparse por la muerte, hay que ocuparse de la vida. Hay que descubrir la vida y, cuando se ha descubierto, ya no se plantea el problema de la muerte.Jean Klein (Oharriz Navarra, 1985)Este libro recoge los dialogos acaecidos en Oharriz (Navarra) en 1985; Nuria (Girona) en 1989 y El Escorial (Madrid) en septiembre de 1990, entre Jean Klein y buscadores sinceros. Advaita no es un sistema, una religion o tecnica. Tampoco es una filosofia. Es simplemente la Verdad. J. Klein

On the day World War II ends, another war begins. Joe Taylor, an African-American veteran decides he wants to marry Nettie French, a childhood sweetheart, and buy the house belonging to Rose Beauchamp. Rose is a white teacher who has befriended both Nettie and Joe and encouraged their friendship and academic aspirations. Roses prejudice rears its head and her reluctance to sell her house to Joe sets in motion a chain of events that threatens to destroy all their futures. Harry Rosen, a Jewish immigrant from Nazi Germany, enters their lives and helps them find their way home. The setting is the living room of a graceful old home in Berkley, Virginia. A stained glass window made by Netties mother, Lily, as a gift to Rose, is a designers delight. Lily combined pieces of glass from baby bottles, eye-glasses, plates, and jewelry to create a symbol of the plays multicultural mix. Through this window, Rose, Nettie, Joe, and Harry find comfort, joy, pain, redemption; and, finally, the reality of their own prejudices.Following the death of her mother in 1938, Nettie French, smart, sassy, African American and age 16, finds a new home with her mothers friend, Rose Beauchamp, a white, Southern teacher in Berkley, Virginia who enhances the education of young African Americans in her home.In Act 1, Nettie finds the love of her life, Joe Taylor, and a friendship with a Jewish refugee from Hitlers Germany. Joe returns from World War II, mature and changed by his experiences as a soldier. Joe upsets the equilibrium when he wants to buy Miss Beauchamps house and marry Nettie; Rose cant adjust to changing racial and social norms and equivocates about the sale; In an impulsive rage, Joe leaves to pursue college and a career, assuming Nettie will follow him in a few days. Nettie, however, is pregnant and disappears, not wanting to hinder Joes life.Joes first year in college is unsuccessful, and he returns to Berkley to find Nettie, only to discover that she is missing, and Harry now resides in the house to take care of Rose Beauchamp, who is failing both physically and mentally.Her decline has been exacerbated by her own guilt leading to the disappearance of Nettie; her decline is further exacerbated when she learns that Nettie was pregnant when she left. Joe doesnt know if he can ever forgive Nettie, everything about the house reminds him of her.The house brings up memories for Harry, too, memories he is still too haunted by and too ashamed to share. Ultimately, Nettie hears that Joe is looking for her and returns to the only home she has ever known, having lost her child in childbirth, to find Joe. The loss has changed Nettie; she is no longer the naive and trusting girl planning to follow her Prince Charming. She is a woman who has faced the worst life has to offer and survived and now must face revealing the loss of their child to Joe. At first glad to find Nettie, Joe is mortally wounded to discover that he has had and lost a child without ever knowing about it; he doesnt know if he can forgive Nettie for keeping that from him.In the final scene, Rose, delusional, hears the argument and enters but "sees" both Joe and Nettie as they appeared in Scene 1, teenagers arriving for their lessons at her desk. Joe tries to confront Rose with reality, but Nettie goes along with the fantasy. Finally, Joe must decide whether to hang on to his own view of the world, which ...

La superconductividad es un nuevo descubrimiento que ha revolucionado nuestro mundo y permite augurar una revolución tecnológica comparable a la del transistor, una revolución que representará un mercado de mas de 20 mil millones de dolares anuales para el año 2000. Esta aventura cientifica, que se remonta al año 1911 y que esta jalonada de renombrados premios Nobel como Georg Bednorz y Alexander Muller - precisamente galardonados en 1987 por el descubrimiento de materiales superconductores a temperatura elevada -, es el tema central de la obra. La originalidad del libro reside en que los autores intercalan entre capitulo y capitulo, un relato escrito a la manera de Poe, Gogol, Borges, Anderson entre otros y que ilustran la principal idea fisica del capitulo que anteceden lo que permite que el lector no especializado acceda a uno de los mas bellos fenomenos de la fisica contemporanea.
