Lowry, Ortiz and the Volcano
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.

Lowry, Ortiz
y el Volcán
Por Alberto Rebollo
Uno de los privilegios más hermosos que puede tener un
ser humano en el ámbito profesional es poder traducir y publicar una obra, y si
se trata de una obra de arte excepcional pues es todavía mejor, ahora que
hacerlo con precisión y con solvencia es casi un milagro, sólo propio de un
médium o de un iniciado. Tal es el caso y la suerte de Raúl Ortiz y Ortiz, por
cuya pluma y magia conocemos en el mundo hispano la obra cumbre de Malcolm
Lowry: Bajo el volcán. Por fortuna,
el maestro Ortiz terminó en 1964, luego de años de intenso trabajo en
Cuernavaca, la traducción de la titánica novela de Lowry, sin duda la mejor
escrita por un extranjero sobre México y a partir de ahí, generaciones de
feligreses de habla hispana han seguido los pasos del escritor inglés. Su
traducción ha sido elogiada por diversos escritores y sigue siendo la única pues
no fue necesaria otra más. Por si esto fuera poco el maestro Ortiz ha seguido
desde entonces promoviendo la obra de Lowry de las más diversas maneras:
conoció a la esposa del autor; Margerie Bonner, la convenció de que regresara a
México y fue recibida con honores, le mostró sin mayores contratiempos los
escenarios de la novela de su marido, ella le correspondió obsequiándole una
serie de fotografías y demás objetos que pertenecieron a Lowry, y llevaron una
hermosa y fructífera amistad que duró toda la vida, desafortunadamente Margerie
murió el 28 de septiembre de 1988. Ortiz incluso ha traducido otros textos lowrianos como el cuento “Bajo el
volcán” y ha sido el principal promotor de la obra de Lowry en México, de tal
manera que tener la oportunidad de presentar el Archivo Lowry, un libro testimonial sobre la labor de Raúl Ortiz
más allá de la mera traducción de Bajo el
volcán es un privilegio inmenso y más aún en el marco esplendoroso de la
Casa Azul de Frida Kahlo, artista mexicana de padres europeos con quien Lowry
tenía curiosas coincidencias: ambos eran padres de europeos, ambos vivían y
estaban enamorados de México, ambos nacieron en la primera década del siglo XX,
murieron a los 47 años, odiaban la guerra, Lowry engañaba a Jan con prostitutas
y Frida engañaba a Diego con Trotsky, en 1937 Lowry llegó a Oaxaca y Trotsky
llegó a México, incluso el cónsul (alter ego de Lowry en Bajo el volcán) es confundido con Trotsky en el capítulo final de
la novela… de manera que presentar aquí el Archivo Lowry me parece una feliz y
bella coincidencia que, en un día de muertos se convierte en el marco ideal
para traer nuevamente a la vida la obra del escritor inglés que sufría y bebía
en México, pero que sobre todo amaba.
Pero volviendo a la traducción de Bajo el volcán; se trataba de una encomienda crucial; la novela fue
concebida en México con diversos juegos de palabras, retruécanos y giros
retóricos intricadísimos que requerían alguien con el conocimiento profundo de
la cultura mexicana así como el bagaje cultural de la literatura inglesa a la
que Lowry constantemente hace referencia, de lo contrario una cadena de errores
interminables nos hubiera llevado a la incomprensión total del mensaje que
Lowry quería transmitirnos, Lowry esperaba un excelente traductor para su
novela, le importaba muchísimo que no fuera mal interpretado en ningún
contexto, pero especialmente en México, país que le había inspirado su obra y
lugar donde había sufrido y amado con mayor intensidad que era lo que él
deseaba: vivir al máximo y escribirlo.
Finalmente en este 2011 surge a la luz este compendio
de pruebas y testimonios de la labor amplísima y profunda de Raúl Ortiz, mismo
que era necesario para todos aquellos estudiosos de la obra de Lowry. Apreciamos
enormemente tener al alcance de la mano tanto imágenes, como textos originales,
e información privilegiada que se publica hoy en este libro indispensable para
todo lowriano. Debemos agradecer
también al Instituto de Cultura de Morelos, el cual, asumiendo la
responsabilidad que le corresponde retoma la obra de Lowry, auténtico promotor
de la cultura del estado de Morelos y le da seguimiento al trabajo que se ha
desarrollado sobre el autor. Gracias principalmente a Ángel Cuevas quien ha
estado permanentemente con nuestro amigo Raúl Ortiz, apoyándolo en la
organización del Archivo Lowry que
hoy tenemos en las manos. Felicidades a los dos y gracias a todos.

El Inframundo de Malcolm Lowry
Esta es La Casona Spencer, la imagen corresponde al año 1939, pero la historia de La Casona se remonta al siglo XVI ya que fue construida antes que la Catedral de Cuernavaca. Esta casa sirvió en su primera etapa como Cabildo del asentamiento español, al paso del tiempo y en el siglo XX, fue hotel y casa de huéspedes hasta que finalmente, gracias a John Spencer, el escultor inglés y benefactor de la cultura en Cuernavaca, se convirtió en un centro cultural abierto a todas las manifestaciones, aquí es donde la Fundación Malcolm Lowry tiene su sede.
Queremos contarles que en nuestro último evento "El inframundo de Malcolm Lowry" presentamos un ciclo de películas relacionadas con la vida y obra de Lowry, pero lo inusitado de estas presentaciones es que las hicimos en el crucero interior de La Casona que semeja las viejas catacumbas romanas, uno de los muros de este espacio, el muro sur, es vestigio del basamento de una pirámide tlahuica que fue reutilizada para sostener la bóveda actual por los alarifes españoles. Es decir, el lugar donde proyectamos las películas tiene cuando menos mil años de existencia contando la pirámide prehispánica y los quinientos años después de la conquista.
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.

Este ciclo de cine consistió en cuatro presentaciones durante el mes de noviembre de 2011 y atrajo a gran cantidad de personas interesadas en la vida y obra de Malcolm Lowry. La primera función correspondió a la película "Morir en Madrid" de Frédérick Rossif y que fue escogida precisamente por la relación directa que tiene con "Bajo el volcán" en donde, en muchos pasajes, se menciona la Guerra Civil Española y sus connotaciones libertarias.

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.
Resultaron muy interesantes y, diriamos, que apasionados, los comentarios del fotógrafo Ricardo Vinós (a la derecha de la foto) por su conocimiento sobre "Morir en Madrid" y su autor, pero además, como buen representante de la migración republicana a México (ya que Ricardo es descendiente directo de uno de los educadores republicanos que engrandeció la cultura de nuestro país), habló sobre el exilio español e hizo una crítica al exilio republicano, todo esto en relación con la novela "Bajo el volcán".
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”.

El realizador Óscar Menéndez y miembro de la Fundación Malcolm Lowry de Cuernavaca, relató los avatares que acontecieron en 1985, en la producción de la película "Malcolm Lowry en México". Gracias a esta filmación nos quedan las imágenes del Casino de la Selva, la estación del ferrocarril, las cantinas, el búngalo de Malcolm y muchos escenarios que sirvieron de base para la novela "Bajo el volcán". En esta película se refleja lo que vio Malcolm Lowry en 1939 pero, lamentablemente, todo este escenario prácticamente ha desaparecido, el Casino de la Selva ya no existe y las calles que menciona Malcolm de Cuernavaca están convertidas en ríos de automóviles ruidosos y contaminantes.
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, miembro activo de la Fundación Malcolm Lowry, hace una disertación y un intercambio de opiniones con el numeroso público de la película canadiense "Volcano, vida y muerte de Malcolm Lowry" de 1976 de Donald Brittain y John Kramer, estos autores en su célebre película logran rescatar el entorno de Malcolm desde su infancia hasta su fallecimiento en 1957 en Ripe.
También se proyectó en la última función la película de John Huston "Bajo el volcán", película rodada en los alrededores de Cuernavaca con grandes actores, pero considerada por el público y los comentaristas como una película fallida en su concepción cinematográfica, aunque importante dentro del mundo lowryano.
