El padre Peter-Hans Kolvenbach, S. J., superior general de la Compañía de Jesús de 1983 a 2008, dedicó gran parte de sus escritos a precisar el sentido y las características de una universidad jesuita en el mundo de hoy. Este sexto número de Clásicos Ignacianos presenta algunos apartados de sus discursos universitarios más importantes, por considerarlos de gran pertinencia para la reflexión sobre el sentido y la práctica de la educación ignaciana.

¿En qué sentido la revelación de Dios, como autocomunicación de su íntima voluntad sobre el hombre puede suceder históricamente en este mundo? ¿Cómo puede darse tal autocomunicación de Dios en el hombre de tal manera que este pueda conocerla con certeza? El autor aborda el concepto mismo de revelación basado principalmente en Karl Rahner, y responde en forma concreta a las preguntas formuladas. Para esto aborda las tradiciones del Pentateuco en el Antiguo Testamento, y en el Nuevo las tradiciones pascual y de la pasión. Para finalizar, plantea la hermenéutica filosófica de la revelación bíblica de Bultmann y, además, configura una hermenéutica de la revelación esencial según Rahner.
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.

Originally published in 2011, The Mosquito Bite Author is the seventh novel by the acclaimed Turkish author Barış Bıçakçı. It follows the daily life of an aspiring novelist, Cemil, in the months after he submits his manuscript to a publisher in Istanbul. Living in an unremarkable apartment complex in the outskirts of Ankara, Cemil spends his days going on walks, cooking for his wife, repairing leaks in his neighbor’s bathroom, and having elaborate imaginary conversations in his head with his potential editor about the meaning of life and art. Uncertain of whether his manuscript will be accepted, Cemil wavers between thoughtful meditations on the origin of the universe and the trajectory of political literature in Turkey, panic over his own worth as a writer, and incredulity toward the objects that make up his quiet world in the Ankara suburbs.
