en la presentación del archivo lowry
By Alberto Rebollo
One of the finest privileges that may have a human being in the professional is able to translate and publish a work, and if this is an exceptional work of art it is even better now that it accurately and with reliability is almost a miracle, only own a medium or an initiate. Such is the case and the fate of Raul Ortiz and Ortiz, whose pen and magic in the Hispanic world know the masterpiece of Malcolm Lowry: Under the Volcano. Fortunately, the Mr Ortiz ended in 1964, after years of hard work in Cuernavaca, the translation of the titanic novel, arguably the best written by a foreigner on Mexico and from there, generations of Spanish-speaking parishioners have followed in the footsteps of the English writer. His translation has been praised by various writers and remains the only necessary because it was not another. As if this were not enough Mr Ortiz has followed since Lowry's work promoting in the most diverse ways, met the author's wife, Margerie Bonner, convinced her to return to Mexico and was received with honors, he showed with no major setbacks the novel scenarios of her husband's novel, she answered giving him a series of photographs and other objects that belonged to Lowry, and carried a beautiful and fruitful friendship that lasted a lifetime, unfortunately Margerie died September 28, 1988. Ortiz has even translated other lowrian texts as for example the short story "Under the Volcano" and has been the main promoter of Lowry's work in Mexico, so to have the opportunity to present the Archive Lowry, a testimonial book on the work of Raul Ortiz beyond the mere translation of Under the Volcano is an immense privilege and even more splendid part of the Blue House of Frida Kahlo, Mexican artist of European parents with whom Lowry had curious coincidences: both parents were Europeans, they lived and were enamored of Mexico, both born in the first decade of the twentieth century, died at age 47, hated the war, Lowry cheated Jan with prostitutes and Frida cheated on Diego with Trotsky, in 1937 Lowry became arrived in Oaxaca and Trotsky in Mexico, even the consul (alter ego of Lowry in Under the Volcano) is mistaken for Trotsky in the final chapter of the novel ... so as to present here the Archive Lowry seems like a pretty happy coincidence and this happening on a day of the dead becomes the ideal framework to bring back to life the work of English writer who suffered and drank in Mexico, but above all loved.But back to the translation of Under the Volcano, this was a crucial parcel, the novel was conceived in Mexico with various word games, puns and rhetorical turns intricated that required someone with deep knowledge of Mexican culture and cultural background English literature which refers constantly Lowry, otherwise endless chain of mistakes would have been total misunderstanding of the message he wanted to convey, Lowry expecting an excellent translator for his novel, he cared very much that was not bad interpreted in any context, but especially in Mexico, which had inspired his work and where he had suffered and loved more deeply than was what he wanted: to live fully and write.Finally, in this 2011 comes to light this compendium of evidence and testimony of the vast and profound work of Raul Ortiz, it was necessary for all those studying the work of Lowry. We greatly appreciate having to reach both images, such as original texts, and privileged information that is published today in this book indispensable for all lowriano. We also thank the Institute of Culture of Morelos, which, assuming responsibility takes its rightful Lowry's work, a true promoter of culture of the state of Morelos and follows up the work that has been developed on the author. Thanks mainly to Angel Cuevas who has been permanently with our friend Raul Ortiz, standing on the organization we have today Lowry Archive on the hands. Congratulations to them both and thank you all.

El Inframundo de Malcolm Lowry
This is La Casona Spencer, the image corresponds to the year 1939, but the history of La Casona goes back to the sixteenth century as it was built before the Cathedral of Cuernavaca. This house was in his first stint as council of Spanish settlement, the passage of time and in the twentieth century, was hotel and guest house until finally, thanks to John Spencer, the English sculptor and benefactor of culture in Cuernavaca, became a cultural center open to all expressions, this is where Malcolm Lowry Foundation is headquartered.
We want to tell you that at our last event "The underworld of Malcolm Lowry" presents a series of films related to the life and work of Lowry, but the unusual of these presentations is that we did in the interior of La Casona cruise that resembles the old catacombs Roman, one of the walls of this space, the south wall are traces of the base of a pyramid that was reused tlahuica to sustain the current ceiling by Spanish builders. That is, where the films are at least a thousand years of telling the pre-Hispanic pyramid and the five hundred years after the conquest.
Sur cette photographie de 1939 nous pouvons apprécier la façade de la Casona Spencer, bâtiment dont l’histoire remonte au XVI siècle et qui fut construit avant la cathédrale de Cuernavaca. Cette bâtisse fut utilisée par les premiers gouvernants espagnols puis au court du XXeme siècle se convertit en hotel et maison d’hôtes jusqu’à sa conversion en centre culturel (ouvert à toutes les manifestations) grâce aux efforts de John Spencer un sculpture anglais et bienfaiteur de la culture à Cuernavaca. La Casona Spencer est le centre de réunion de la Fondation Malcolm Lowry.
Lors de notre dernière série d’évènements « L’ inframonde de Malcolm Lowry » nous avons organisé un cycle de projection de films en rapport avec la vie et l’oeuvre de Lowry. Ces projections ont eu lieu dans un endroit extraordinaire : le tunnel de la Casona, similaire aux catacombes romaines et dont le mur méridional est composé de vestiges de la base d’une pyramide de l’époque tlahuica qui furent ensuite utilisés par les architectes espagnols pour soutenir la voûte actuelle. C’est-à-dire que ce lieu de projection a au moins mille ans si l’on prend en compte la pyramide préhispanique et les cinq cents ans après la conquête.
Nesta fotografia de 1939 é possível apreciar a fachada da Casona Spencer, mas a história da sua construção é mais antiga, remontando ao século XVI e antecedendo a da catedral de Cuernavaca. Numa primeira fase, esta casa alojou os primeiros espanhóis, ajudando ao estabelecimento da comunidade; com o passar do tempo, e já no século XX, foi hotel e pensão, até que, graças a John Spencer, o escultor inglês e benfeitor da cultura em Cuernavaca, se converteu num centro cultural aberto a todas as manifestações, acolhendo também a sede da Fundação Malcolm Lowry.
Integrado no ciclo “O Inframundo de Malcolm Lowry”, foram apresentados uma série de filmes relacionadas com a vida e a obra do escritor inglês. As projecções decorreram num lugar extraordinário – o túnel da Casona Spencer, similar às catacumbas romanas, e cuja parede sul é composta por material que restou da base de uma pirâmide tlahuica, reutilizado pelos arquitectos e mestres-de-obras para suster a actual abóboda. Desta forma, os materiais do lugar de projecção contam com, pelo menos, 1000 anos de existência.
This film series consisted of four presentations during the month of November 2011 and attracted a large number of people interested in the life and work of Malcolm Lowry. The first function accounted for the film "To Die in Madrid" by Frederick Rossif and was chosen precisely because of the direct relationship it has with "Under the Volcano" where, in many passages, mention the Spanish Civil War and its libertarian connotations.
Este ciclo de cinema teve quatro sessões durante o mês de Novembro e atraiu um grande número de entusiastas da vida e da obra de Malcolm Lowry. Na primeira sessão foi apresentado o filme “Morir en Madrid”, de Frédérick Rossif, escolhido pela relação directa que tem com “Debaixo do Vulcão” [“Sob o Vulcão” ou “À sombra do Vulcão”, títulos com que foi traduzido e editado o livro no Brasil], no qual, em várias passagens, é abordada a Guerra Civil de Espanha, bem como as suas conotações libertárias.
The comments were very interesting and passionate I would say that photographer Ricardo Vinós (right in photo) for his knowledge of "Dying in Madrid" and its author, but also as a good representative of the republican migration to Mexico (because Ricardo is a direct descendant of one of the educators magnified the Republican culture of our country), spoke about the Spanish exile and made a criticism of the Republican exile, all in relation to the novel "Under the Volcano".
Les commentaires du photographe Ricardo Vinós (à droite sur la photo) concernant « Mourir à Madrid » et son auteur furent très intéréssants voire passionnants. Ricardo est un digne représentant de la migration républicaine espagnole au Mexique (il est le descendant direct d’un des éducateurs républicains ayant le plus contribué à fortifier la culture de notre pays) et à ce titre il parla de l’éxil espagnol avec certaines réserves concernant l’éxil républicain sans perdre de vue la relation avec « Au-dessous du volcan ».
Foram, sem dúvida, interessantes e apaixonados os comentários do fotógrafo Ricardo Vinós (à direita, na foto), não só pelo seu conhecimento de “Morir en Madrid”, mas também pelo facto de constituir um bom representante da emigração republicana para o México – uma vez que é descendente directo de um dos educadores republicanos que engrandeceu a cultura mexicana. Ricardo Vinós abordou a questão dos exílios espanhol e republicano na sua relação com “Debaixo do Vulcão”.
The director Oscar Menendez and member of the Malcolm Lowry Foundation of Cuernavaca, said the ups and downs that occurred in 1985 in the production of the movie "Malcolm Lowry in Mexico." With this film we are left with images of the Casino de la Selva, the railway station, the bars, the bungalow of Malcolm and many scenarios that formed the basis for the novel "Under the Volcano". This film reflects what Malcolm Lowry saw in 1939 but, unfortunately, this whole scenario has practically disappeared, the Casino de la Selva is gone and the streets of Cuernavaca Malcolm mentions are converted into streams of noisy and polluting cars.
Le réalisateur et membre de la Fondation Malcolm Lowry, Oscar Menéndez, raconte certaines anecdotes concernant le tournage du film documentaire « Malcolm Lowry en México » en 1985. Ce film nous permet de voir des images du Casino de la Selva, de la gare, des cantinas, du bungalow de Malcolm et d’autres lieus qui ont servi de base au roman. Ce film reflète ce qu’a vu Malcolm Lowry en 1939 mais malheureusement, tout ceci a pratiquement disparu. Le Casino de la Selva a été détruit et les rues mentionnées par Malcolm se sont converties en fleuves de voitures bruyantes et polluantes.
O realizador Óscar Menéndez, membro da Fundação Malcolm Lowry, referiu-se aos aspectos que rodearam, em 1985, a produção de “Malcolm Lowry en México”, de sua autoria. Graças a estas filmagens, é possível ver hoje imagens do Casino de la Selva, da estação de caminho-de-ferro de Cuernavaca, das “cantinas”, da casa de Lowry, além de muitos lugares que constituíram a base de inspiração de “Debaixo do Vulcão”. Este documentário reflecte o que viu Malcolm Lowry no México em 1939, um cenário hoje, infelizmente, quase desaparecido. Já não existe o Casino de la Selva, e as ruas da cidade que Malcolm refere estão convertidas em rios de automóveis ruidosos e poluidores.
Dany Hurpin active member Malcolm Lowry Foundation, makes a presentation and exchange of views with the large audience of the Canadian film "Volcano, Life and Death of Malcolm Lowry" of 1976 by Donald Brittain and John Kramer, the authors in their manage to rescue the famous film Malcolm environment from childhood until his death in 1957 in Ripe.
Also screened at the last show John Huston film "Under the Volcano", shot in and around Cuernavaca with great actors, but regarded by the public and commentators as a movie film failed in its conception, though important in the lowryan world.
Dany Hurpin, membre actif de la Fondation Malcolm Lowry, dialogue avec le public venu en nombre lors de la projection du documentaire canadien « Volcano, an inquiry into the life and death of Malcolm Lowry » de Donald Brittain et John Kramer, filmé en 1976. Ces deux réalisateurs réussissent à recréer l’environnement de Lowry de son enfance à sa mort survenue en 1957 à Ripe.
La dernière projection fut celle de l’adaptation cinématographique d’« Au-dessous du volcan » par John Huston, film tourné dans la région et avec des acteurs connus, mais considéré par le publique et les spécialistes comme assez pauvre dans sa conception cinématographique mais qui reste cependant un document important dans le monde des amateurs de Lowry.

Foi também visionado o filme “Debaixo do vulcão”, realizado por John Huston em 1984, rodado nos arredores de Cuernavaca com grandes actores, mas considerada, apesar da sua importância no universo lowryano, pelo público e por muitos críticos como um falhanço na adaptação da obra ao cinema.
The Mexican writer Francisco Rebolledo, author of several essays on Malcolm Lowry including "From the Ravine" and "Quauhnahuac, a forest of symbols", presented a lecture at the Borda Gardens with the theme of Gordon Bowker's biography, "Pursued by furies, "to a large audience and was accompanied by the poet Ángel Cuevas, Editorial Coordinator of the Cultural Institute of Morelos.
