Todo es cristalino en Alfonso Reyes, sus obras eruditas, su poesía, sus cuentos y ahora sus anécdotas, recogidas al gotear de la pluma y correr de los años, y en las que se confirma el humorismo que siempre lo caracterizó. Esta selección de anécdotas nos hace recordar su sonrisa, sus ojos pícaros y vivaces, su agudísimo sentido de la fonética y de la electricidad. Nada más qué añadir, nuestro “duende alfonsino” tiene la palabra.

"También yo he pagado mi tributo al arte de cocina y bodega: ya un poema sobre la confitería de Toledo o una rápida alusión a las sevillanas y murillescas yemas de San Leandro; y hasta he dejado noticia de mis andanzas en busca de caracoles borgoñones. En fin, éste no es un libro de tesis ni de disertaciones. Este libro sólo se destina a gente de honrada naturaleza capaz de apreciar el arte del buen comer."

History & Criticism

Bibliotech Press

Alfonso Reyes (1889-1959) was the leading Mexican writer of his time. He was revered by his great successor Octavio Paz, a writer who, like himself, was also an Ambassador. Enormously prolific, he was a master of the essay, that "most Latin-American of art forms" and an outstanding critic. He knew Hispanic and classical literature, and translated Homer, Sterne, Chesterton, Stevenson, Shaw, and Chekhov. In turn, Samuel Beckett translated some of his poems into English; some of his essays, too, can be read in English. 
Reyes saw writing as "the richest means of expressing human feeling". "Double redemption by the word: first through the concord of bloods; second through the shaping of the personality, in its relation to others as well as in its inner growth." His poetry was varied, always skilful and urbane, and was far outweighed by his huge output of prose. The present selection aims to convey his amazing, half-forgotten skill and some of the flavour and astonishing variety of his formal verse. 
"Yes, we have some outstanding poets, a playwright, several critics and three or four prose writers. But above all we have a man for whom literature has been something more than a calling or a destiny: a religion. A man for whom language has been all that language can be: sound and sign, inert trace and wizardry, a clockwork mechanism and a living thing. In short: Poet, critic and translator, he is the Writer; miner, craftsman, peon, gardener, lover and priest of words. His work, various and perfect, is history and poetry, reflection and creation: it is a Literature... Need I name this writer who, while remaining himself, is in himself a group of writers? Far from it: everyone knows I refer to Alfonso Reyes." --Octavio Paz, letter to Guillermo Ibarra, 15 August 1949 
This large selection of poetry by Alfonso Reyes is accompanied by the brilliant English versions of an award-winning rhyming translator-poet, Timothy Adès.

Organizational Systems: Managing Complexity with the Viable System Model

Organizational Systems clarifies the application of cybernetic ideas, particularly those of Beer's Viable System Model, to organizational diagnosis and design. Readers learn to appreciate the relevance of seeing the systemic coherence of the world. The book argues that many of the problems we experience today are routed in our practice of fragmenting that needs to be connected as a whole. It offers a method to study and design organizations and a methodology to deal with implementation problems. It is the outcome of many years of working experience with government offices as well as with all kinds of public and private enterprises. At a more detailed level this book offers an in depth discussion of variety engineering that is not available either in the primary or secondary literature.
