This tale teaches us that we have abandoned the wise lifestyle of the little bird and the freedom that we enjoyed once upon a time, only to get lost in a labyrinth from which we cannot escape as easily as one might have imagined. And understanding that nothing is as difficult as knowing oneself, and that this cannot be but through his own interest and knowledge. And only, a stop along the road so as to be able to find out: Where have we come from? And where are we going? The answers to these questions will enable us to take the true road and to achieve self-realization,not only as human beings, but also, and more profoundly as the spiritual and immortal beings that we are. And, to enlighten ...
The Boy with a Heart of Gold is a coming of age story that incorporates several timely cultural themes in Latin America: the undemocratic forces that have enslaved communities for generations and the causative damage this corruption has on personal and social attitudes. The protagonist of the story, Jonathan, is a kind and wise soul who intercedes to save a whale during her torturous capture by a brutal pack of pirates. His courage in confronting these brutes and his generosity in paying for her release is both endearing and transcendent.Jaime Bedoya Martinez then poses the paradox that is Jonathan's life as he is the son of a ruthless dictator which provides him the boat and resources to fa...

EL PADRE, de Jaime Bedoya Martinez, El Pijao Rebelde como lo llamamos sus amigos, es un gran logro. Es la culminacion de todo un proceso de busqueda, de experimentacion, y, sobre todo de fe, de constancia en el trabajo, de seguridad en las metas propuestas. Aunque es una curiosa mezcla de Ensayo Filosofico, Novela y Poema Didactico, no hay duda del valor que tiene. En adelante sera una obra para consultar en el derrotero de las letras, ya que marca el principio de una etapa necesaria y definitiva en la armada de una estructura, vale decir, del andamiaje literario. El autor ha avanzado un largo trecho en el discurso, en la disposicion gramatical, en el ensamble de las ideas y en el contenido....

Consciente, que existe un enorme vacio en la educacion del hombre, he escrito este pequeno libro con la mas sublime sencillez y con un timido y humilde toque filosofico, al alcance de todos; en la seguridad que con el transcurso del tiempo, este mini breviario del hombre, se convertira en texto de lectura permanente y en una tranquila fuente de meditacion. Ademas, me impulso el convencimiento que servira de ayuda en la educacion de los pueblos y en la transformacion del hombre en criatura humana.Creo firmemente en lo que escribio Juan Picco de la Mirandola: "Cuales sean la semilla que cada hombre cultive, tales maduraran y daran en el su propio fruto. Si son vegetativas, sera como una planta...
The boy with a rifle is a profound and timely criticism of youth engaged in senseless violence against nature. Their actions are often not by choice but rather the lack of prescribed choices.

As a passionate devotee of nature and its importance in our lives, Jaime describes the tragedy when idle thinking partners with human's tendency to destroy, not malevolently but blindly.The reader will agonize as school children -presumably innocent, sentient, moral- murder defenseless birds for the sake of playing a game and proving their worth. One is enraged by the lack of remorse ...
Little giants of paradise is an epic poem showcasing Jaime Bedoya Martínez talent for creating fantastical storylines premised on the mundane, the visceral; that is, the natural world of insects, and the surprisingly sophisticated social rituals and hierarchies which dominate their existence. His experience and insight as a laborer, manager and educator in the fields of Colombia- a region blessed with some of the most diverse ecological areas in the world- is in full display as he creates modern mythological heroes and legends, but not mythologies based on cultural or religious traditions.The engineering feats of bees, wasps, worms, fish, birds et al. are framed as equivalent in quality to ...
