Contemplar la realidad desde una perspectiva fantastica. O quizas acechar y descubrir en la realidad cotidiana algunos de los muchos mundos diferentes que esta esconde. Tal es el proposito de las tres historias que componen este libro. Los relatos nos alumbran otras realidades y nos hacen vivir otras existencias. Nos llevan a paisajes desconocidos, nos traen nuevas refl exiones. Esa fuerza creadora es la que mueve a los protagonistas de estas historias. La primera de ellas, "El viejo, el buho y el nino de la cometa," narra el encuentro entre un nino sonador y un viejo singular que le ayuda a explorar los hechos extraordinarios de una realidad de apariencia del todo cotidiana. Mirar, observar, apreciar lo que nos rodea son las puertas para penetrar en esos otros mundos que, como dijo Paul Eluard, existen pero estan en este. Un buho, el vuelo de una cometa, un parque donde las estaciones van creando un paisaje cambiante a lo largo del ano, un album de cromos, la lluvia, la nieve y los demas elementos, los relatos imperecederos de los buenos libros: todo sirve para llegar a atisbar ese momento magico por el que penetrar en un mundo distinto. En la segunda, "Una jornada en el aprendizaje de un principe," el hallazgo de un lugar en medio de un bosque donde algo parece susurrar historias fantasticas conduce a un muchacho a un extrano sueno donde los insectos hablan, un escarabajo guia a un pequeno principe en su aprendizaje por la fl oresta y el agua, el aire y la luz estan habitados por sorprendentes espiritus. Un mundo que una vez encontraron quienes escribieron los cuentos de hadas dejandonos historias inolvidables que viven para siempre en nuestros corazones. El tercero de los relatos, "Imaginando historias," viene a ser una historia de historias, casi al modo de los cuentos orientales. En el su protagonista, un muchacho lleno de imaginacion, escribe tres cuentos que va presentando a un certamen que tiene como premio un viaje al lugar que elija el ganador. "La sombra del desvan," "A la caza del narval gigante" y "Amor mas alla del sueno" son las tres historias que imagina, la ultima de las cuales viene a fundirse con la que el chico ha empezado a vivir en un sueno que se repite noche tras noche y que acabara haciendose realidad.

The ongoing crisis in Europe has dramatic impact on the life in many Southern European cities: Unemployment, social deprivation, poverty, political instability, severe cuts in the welfare state budgets and a wide spread feeling of despair have eroded much of the social foundation of the cities. In this book, contributors from Spain, Greece, Portugal and Italy provide an insight into the complex interference between the different aspects of the crisis. They show that the recent urban crisis is not purely a result of the budgetary problems of the nation state ("austerity urbanism") but needs to be seen as multiple contestations. The Crisis of the City is therefore understood as a result of a changing nation state, cultural diversity, challenged urban planning and politics and a globalized economy.
