El Puente Viejo de Murcia
La construcción del Puente Viejo o de los Peligros constituye una de las empresas públicas más importantes acometidas en la primera mitad del siglo XVIII en Murcia. En 1701 una riada se llevó el puente anterior y desde esa fecha hasta su inauguración en 1742, con desigual intensidad y acierto el Consejo procuró iniciar las obras, la primera piedra se puso en 1718, evitar que los trabajos se paralizasen y buscar maestros con la formación adecuada para elaborar las trazas, dirigir el taller o revisar la tarea en curso hasta su finalización. Mosén Aparicio, Vicente Soler, Bartolomé Alcázar, Toribio Martínez de la Vega, Jorge Próspero Verboom, Jerónimo Gómez de Aya y Jaime Bort se vincularon de forma diversa a su realización y su presencia demuestra la trascendencia de la obra. Más allá de su valor estableciendo un paso sobre el Segura, el puente se convirtió en elemento articulador y germen del crecimiento urbano en la ribera meridional del río.
Mined lives. 25 years
"[...] A heartfelt cry against terrible injustice and daily tragedy: how the everlasting physical injuries that severed their bodies affect these wounded people". An ongoing project of the most current photojournalism, like the infinite aftereffects caused by antipersonnel mines. Gervasio Sánchez has been working with victims of this scourge since September 1995, a job that has been running through most of his professional life. The devastation the mines cause is lifelong. The eleven victims in this project were selected randomly in African countries such as Angola and Mozambique; in Asian countries like Cambodia, Afghanistan, and Iraq; El Salvador, Nicaragua, and Colombia in Latin America; and European countries such as Bosnia-Herzegovina. "Gervasio knows we need the wounded voices if we hope to write the complete history. And to do so, it is vital to advocate, faced with the hate that mines, the courage that observes." Irene Vallejo (Foreword)
The Spanish Frustration
Old troubles with remote origins persist in modern Spain, including huge public debts, extensive corruption, widespread unlawfulness, oligarchical politics, territorial splits, and permanent protests and riots. When did Spain screw up? The Spanish Frustration provides an interpretation of several important aspects of present-day Spain and its past stories. It argues that, in the long term, Spain missed the opportunity to become a consolidated modern nation-state because it was entangled in imperial adventures for several centuries when it should have been building a solid domestic basis for further endeavors. In short: a ruinous empire made a weak state, which built an incomplete nation, which sustains a minority democracy.
