Could I Have A Brazillian Please

Another great poet leaves us .... Portrait of Women (Gonzalo Rojas)

always will be the night, a woman, to look at you face to face,
alone in your mirror, free husband nude
with accurate and terrible reality of the great vertigo
destroys you. You will always be your night and your knife, and the frivolous
phone to listen to my goodbye with a single blow.

I swore not to write. So I am calling in air
to say nothing, as the empty: nothing, nothing,
but the same and always the same of the same
never hear me, why I do not ever understand, but the veins you
burn that I'm saying.

Ponte dress red that comes to your mouth and your blood,
and burn me at the last cigarette
fear the great love, and go barefoot in the air that came with the wound
visible in your beauty.
shame of crying and crying in the storm.

I will not die. I will paint you in a flash your face
as you are: two eyes to see things visible and invisible,
nose and mouth animal archangel, and a smile
forgive me, and something sacred and timeless flying in your front
woman, and I shudder, because your face is the face of the Spirit.

You come and go, and love the sea than you away with its foam,
and stay motionless I heard that name in the abyss
night, and kiss me just as a wave. Enigma
left. Enigma will be.
not fly with me. This woman, I'll let you figure.

Irregular Heartbeat Murmur



As the battle cry sung by almogávares before the battle, so goes the name of the first specialized magazine in Military History of Antiquity and Medieval published in our country, and these days, coinciding with the exit to the street in his fifth issue, we celebrate the anniversary.


Desperta Ferro is the personal commitment of the "alma mater" of the publication, Alberto Perez Rubio, Carlos de la Rocha, Javier Gómez-Valero, insight into the historical periods for those who are passionate, moving to the magazine, in a pleasant tone but rigorous, experience and knowledge.


Each issue tends to be thematic, thus first explains the various points related to the decline and fall of the Roman Empire, the second number describes the Celtic world war and his vision from the Greco-Roman, the third shows the universe Scandinavian and Viking, and the room recreates the various sieges which has suffered the city of Constantinople. Topics from articles written by leading specialists, translated correctly understood by any layman, assortments of photos and explanatory drawings. The diversity of the same in every magazine, in conjunction with a central theme, even more interesting and useful for understanding in some depth the period treated.


But most paragraph impressed me Desperta Ferro is undoubtedly the graphics. It is here where publishers show their commitment to excellence in the evocation of types and situations that illustrate the text, faithful to the iconographic and archaeological record of the time. The magnificent illustrations found in each issue, are particularly educational for anyone who is interested in understanding the reality of war in antiquity.


Those responsible for the artistic quality of this publication are none other than our friends admired Daniel Cabrera Peña and José Ángel García Pinto (whose works illustrate this update), who along with some work of Dionisio Álvarez Cueto sadly departed, and the detailed map of Carlos de la Rocha and R. Alvarez, Ferro Desperta make a jewel editorial, off-and even above-Saxon publications envied those that marked an era.

Postcards Carlos Bartual

This month of April are 18 years of the early disappearance of Carlos Bartual Diaz, another English illustrator of military subjects, unjustly forgotten, whose work was mainly in the Department of the Army Military History.


Bartual Captain (1936-1993), professional military armament and Construction Corps - like the Dolphin admired Salas-out very soon for his love of drawing and military history, fields in which, thanks to his fate, explored thoroughly. Studies uniformology and vexicología who attended the Historical Service, made him a regular contributor to the magazine "Military History " with articles that not only put the text, but also illustrated.


But his works not only focused on research for the Center, but with Jose Luis Roman was the official illustrator of the magazine "Model "-publication of the 70 that fans remember most experienced model making, working in other publications such as magazines "Defense " or " Carteya ." Are also worth outlining the series of postcards for "Heliodorus Art Editions and Bibliophile" made, shelled in sets of six plates uniforms " the English troops in the service of empire " (1975) "The English armies in the Napoleonic era" (1976), "the English troops in the second site Gibraltar" (1978) or "Troops in the English Civil War" (1978), among others.


His drawing, clearly marked line, gives preference to display the details of the work uniformológica, without losing the freedom of stroke, although a bit naive on many occasions. In their artwork suggests a taste for the equity of the nineteenth century engravings recalling the aesthetics of the work of Daniel Vierge.


Garate José María Córdoba devotes in his article "Historical Service One" (Military History Journal No. 100 in 2006) these words: "... and then there was the excellent teacher Bartual Carlos Diaz, great restorer and given to sculpture, with irregular virtues of the great artists of the brush and bulk, but also serious historian writing successful "



I would like to thank my friends Fernando González de la Peña, Jesus Pacheco Agustín Gamarra and put me on the trail of this artist, giving me the three almost all of the information poured.
