And José Guadalupe Posada , great happy ghost, whose dead children bastards kept me absorbed and admired, not realizing that I would lend his Gran fandango and revel in all the skulls to give meaning and identity to this book fun and spooky, but I never dreamed published between Guadalupe Teresa and hatched the plot of this frenetic dance that is the path to eternity in nothingness.

The skull of Catrina
. Case 
El poeta inglés John Donne, al escuchar en su pueblo el tañido de las campanas, afirmaba que éstas suenan por nosotros que algún día vamos a morir. Ese tañir de campanas es el espejo de la muerte. El recuerdo de que no somos eternos o infinitos. Y que algún day, like it or not, we're stuck in that wooden box, consumed by fire or eaten by worms.
This certainty in the midst of an uncertain world, as we are living, "was the one that was a source of inspiration to the writer Ignacio Ramírez Pinzón to write a wonderful book about the dead happy, who from childhood have surrounded his life.
For some readers, the book's title - Ghosts happy - can be a paradox, because in our culture, death, with his deep religious sense, has always been solemn, momentous, and Worst of all, has been detached of life.
Thus, only an agnostic writer and esoteric as Ignacio, could write a book irreverent and humorous, about a thorny issue for the human race.
In the fifty-four poetic prose that make up the book, Ramirez makes it a tribute to the illustrious dead, but not from the transcendental and religious perspective that has seen the dead, but from a profoundly human, secular and holistic .
For Ramirez, death is closely linked to the existence, is part of life that no one can escape.
Life and death, the only couple indivisible remains true to the end of our days.
Therefore, the writer Bogota, which is close to death with the spirit of the hound, is the black lady with respect, but at the same time, desecrates, the ironic and mocking it in order to make it more human.
The book, which was released in Bogotá by Teresa Montealegre and is illustrated with cartoons of the Mexican José Guadalupe Posada, opens with three intimate portraits that refer to the origin of the writer: "Felisa" dedicated to his mother "The train" , which travels with him the remembrance of his father and "Uncle of flowers that connects us and fond his uncle Miguel, who had the privilege of being a true gardener.
I think that in these three literary stories are the deeper roots of the man who from childhood had emerged as a writer. The statement
poetry in memory of his mother is present the love and indulgence in reading. In the proclamation on his father's life is the unbridled passion for travel. In the flight of his uncle's words about the gardener's love of nature and beings in harmony with it.
These three elements: love, and travel books are those that mark the literary fate of Ignacio Ramírez.
Then, breaking with the micro-universe family, the book will open the world of the illustrious dead of art and literature. Most killed by disease or old, with the exception of Cacipa friend, who died in the Colombian Guajira by wild hordes of the paramilitaries.
There, under the pen fine Cronopio brother, parade : Henry Miller, the wily old bald, Italo Calvino that to the miseries of the underworld, chose to live in the treetops, the painter Alejandro Obregón, the novelist patio, Hector Rojas Herazo, the poet Fernando Charry Lara, the master Enrique Buenaventura, Julio Cortázar, the Cronopio who died of love, the Master Pedro Gómez Valderrama; Barranquilla writer Marvel Moreno, Celia Cruz, the guarachera of Cuba, the Venezuelan artist Jesus Rafael Soto, the novelist of Tolima César Pérez, Maria Felix, the immortal Doña finally succumbed, and the country of Tibacuy; Rafael Chaparro Madiedo the nefelibata; Germain Vargas Cantillo, the reader currambero the painter Cali Kat; Cachifo, writer Nadaísta, the Mexican novelist Juan José Arreola, Rene Rebetez, cosmogonic writer, Eduardo Pachon Padilla, the man who was a fairy, Miguel de Francisco, who died downpour in Paris, Fanny Luz Ortiz, who still sings in the Son of crickets and the master Arturo Alape. Mausoleum of men
and women of exquisite pen described by Ignacio Ramírez Pinzón.
Dead celebrities, living underground that are more alive today than ever.
happy ghosts of dead A feast of laughter
By Hugo Berendth
From New York
http://cronopiosdiariovirtual.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html September 22, 2007
unusual and gratifying to do in this time of gruesome deaths, a book that goes beyond death with humor and reason!
Just published in Colombia and author Ignacio Ramirez is a renowned writer who bustle than its own literature and thought, promotes a virtual newspaper called Cronopios, who works for the sheer love of art and arrives without fail every day to over 50 thousand people who receive it free at various locations in the five continents of this crazy planet.
happy Ghosts is the title of this book written from the playful handling its author, who among other things has been declared clinically dead (in Italy, 2000) and faced dangers inherent in a wandering adventurer who traveled several sometimes hundreds of countries in the exercise of stubbornness with motto: to show that most Colombians are peaceful people and we must unite to appease the violent. Ignacio Ramírez
account happy ghosts their personal experiences with death, also runs stories and memories of their loved ones have died and countless opens up a range of characters where they are from the most great artists and public figures who will never forget, to movers and shakers who want to discover and descriptions from these lectures. Sample Buttons: María Félix, Celia Cruz, Alejandro Obregon, Hector Rojas Herazo, Manuel Zapata Olivella, Marvell Moreno, Arturo Alape, Germain Vargas ... and also a poet and philosopher named Glicerio Wayuu Pana, with whom he spent nights and nights on the beaches of Cabo de la Vela talking about poems and stars, or Eustorgio a raicero's Lair, in the Choco rainforest, who taught him the secrets of plants, or an uncle who was a gardener by trade and initiated him into the poetry with the names of flowers. And the painters: Saturnino Ramirez, Heinz Goll, Tiberius Vanegas, another painted to live and live to paint or a man who wrote birds, or one that lived in trees and to die in the sky vanished.
Anyway ... is only an emotional remembrance of names, images, and breaths that remain after reading happy Ghosts, a book that lends skeletons Guadalupe Posada live rumba, a cheerful philosophy and logic of Lady Death, a book and hopefully a friend for wanting to keep on hand on the nightstand, in the companion case everywhere, because here we are reminded at every turn that the word, poetry, criticism, philosophy of great fun Cronopio Julio Cortázar, who also lives happily his death reflect between humor and freedom the only tangible truth: Here we are!

---- Ghosts happy
By Ignacio Ramírez Cronopios
Director
At this point and in these conditions just notify me that I will have a new son of paper. I, who had many years virgin in my resolve not to re-publish a book. Do not ask me the reasons why you'll see in the next lines of what daring dresses so fortuitous irony and works with accuracy and an efficient blade boomerang.
All may be impact from the conspirators Antonio Jurado and colleagues Fabio Correa, who disregarding my pleas not only honored me at the Book Fair this year it launched a booklet with the seal of the University's literary and about my dalliances with the now familiar but always discreet green glove lady.
Few, very few copies were distributed. However, the spider spins its web and it happened that in that act, for me, memorable, was Teresa Montealegre, publisher of Impresol , who after thirty years at least, we came to realize that your company only managed to publish about a hundred titles, a few with my name, other authors of those patrons was joyful and proud when I could, other I was hired to write his works and thus allowed me to pursue the part of the black writer in my complete devotion to the word ... So many secrets only we know she and I and recently renewed pledges not to itemize those things the end of the day are as fleeting as a whole.
But Teresa, supportive and generous, when memory was thought that so much ink and so sleepy deserves a celebration and at the moment, although without my noticing, I was pregnant with this part that I have no way to interrupt. So that I have news: you are about to leave and move Ghosts happy that in every instance had and takes into account shocks to my life and my flirtation with death. There are not all they are, although they are everyone.
I think there are more than 50 papers spontaneous leisure about characters who are on the curve of anonymity to celebrity, but from my perspective as I saw and still see ghosts real happy and cronopios cronopios who took this journey mysterious to be the best could be as much as possible and especially to ensure that the joy and harmony to infect others, figures in these wild times we can only cherish and projects without us climb the blood to the cheeks, the dreamers. O
ghosts, of course. Those who have gone through life and death going to game plan, as they always have all the dead that drew the genius Mexican named Jose Guadalupe Posada , who lent me their skeletons dancing and outrageous that the name and intent of Title I identify which mirror.
With happy ghosts are supposed to have opened a Collection of Readings for Cronopios and lost texts Series, now raised, as many of them were found in old trunks or in newspapers of childhood and adolescence, and with cobwebs. Here
dedication is glaring: "Those who put on airs of the living" . Of course the intention never was to make a book, but I like and see how much change seduces me every day and how something we wanted to be, we were.
First Things First: Some people absolutely unknown to you, but the most important to me: my dad and my mom, my uncles, my deceased lovers, dead for some reason I came to the soul. And very famous men and women like Celia Cruz and María Félix, Arreola, the lame lit Dario Lemos and vibrant remember when my brother Jotamario the Nadaísta visited the tomb of Tristan Tzara and left him a copy of symphonies for typewriters. And of course colleagues: the great Hector of Tolu, the vain and valuable Erre Hache, Alape at the time of parting, César Pérez who does not even notice a year without death took him when he wrote his first lines morning.
will be a book for everyone, but especially for my friends. Will be sold exclusively by mail, never in bookstores, data and instructions will come and for now just give the news to be separated by dozens or hundreds if you want. Of course friends do not pay and those will come soon, somehow, like certain persons for whom I have beating my gratitude and to whom I can just let this memory wallpaper like inheritance and recognition evidence.
That's right: all hope on Tuesday September 25 at 6:15 pm in Room Aurelio Arturo National Library , pleasant space that fortunately was Cronopios Nights, as it had in leading to arrests I thought it might have become a miracle in the Tower of Babel, which was never possible but I do not mind being so naive because such idealistic perspective was given to me the essence of my human condition.
But that's another story and what I wanted was to share the news of my fatherhood late paper a new child at this stage and under these conditions.
sudden desire I have to toast the happy haunts . Wherever they are, and Cronopios Cronopios, raise our glasses and drink all for this great feasting and fandango of the dead. ---

El poeta inglés John Donne, al escuchar en su pueblo el tañido de las campanas, afirmaba que éstas suenan por nosotros que algún día vamos a morir. Ese tañir de campanas es el espejo de la muerte. El recuerdo de que no somos eternos o infinitos. Y que algún day, like it or not, we're stuck in that wooden box, consumed by fire or eaten by worms.
This certainty in the midst of an uncertain world, as we are living, "was the one that was a source of inspiration to the writer Ignacio Ramírez Pinzón to write a wonderful book about the dead happy, who from childhood have surrounded his life.
For some readers, the book's title - Ghosts happy - can be a paradox, because in our culture, death, with his deep religious sense, has always been solemn, momentous, and Worst of all, has been detached of life.
Thus, only an agnostic writer and esoteric as Ignacio, could write a book irreverent and humorous, about a thorny issue for the human race.
In the fifty-four poetic prose that make up the book, Ramirez makes it a tribute to the illustrious dead, but not from the transcendental and religious perspective that has seen the dead, but from a profoundly human, secular and holistic .
For Ramirez, death is closely linked to the existence, is part of life that no one can escape.
Life and death, the only couple indivisible remains true to the end of our days.
Therefore, the writer Bogota, which is close to death with the spirit of the hound, is the black lady with respect, but at the same time, desecrates, the ironic and mocking it in order to make it more human.
The book, which was released in Bogotá by Teresa Montealegre and is illustrated with cartoons of the Mexican José Guadalupe Posada, opens with three intimate portraits that refer to the origin of the writer: "Felisa" dedicated to his mother "The train" , which travels with him the remembrance of his father and "Uncle of flowers that connects us and fond his uncle Miguel, who had the privilege of being a true gardener.
I think that in these three literary stories are the deeper roots of the man who from childhood had emerged as a writer. The statement
poetry in memory of his mother is present the love and indulgence in reading. In the proclamation on his father's life is the unbridled passion for travel. In the flight of his uncle's words about the gardener's love of nature and beings in harmony with it.
These three elements: love, and travel books are those that mark the literary fate of Ignacio Ramírez.
Then, breaking with the micro-universe family, the book will open the world of the illustrious dead of art and literature. Most killed by disease or old, with the exception of Cacipa friend, who died in the Colombian Guajira by wild hordes of the paramilitaries.
There, under the pen fine Cronopio brother, parade : Henry Miller, the wily old bald, Italo Calvino that to the miseries of the underworld, chose to live in the treetops, the painter Alejandro Obregón, the novelist patio, Hector Rojas Herazo, the poet Fernando Charry Lara, the master Enrique Buenaventura, Julio Cortázar, the Cronopio who died of love, the Master Pedro Gómez Valderrama; Barranquilla writer Marvel Moreno, Celia Cruz, the guarachera of Cuba, the Venezuelan artist Jesus Rafael Soto, the novelist of Tolima César Pérez, Maria Felix, the immortal Doña finally succumbed, and the country of Tibacuy; Rafael Chaparro Madiedo the nefelibata; Germain Vargas Cantillo, the reader currambero the painter Cali Kat; Cachifo, writer Nadaísta, the Mexican novelist Juan José Arreola, Rene Rebetez, cosmogonic writer, Eduardo Pachon Padilla, the man who was a fairy, Miguel de Francisco, who died downpour in Paris, Fanny Luz Ortiz, who still sings in the Son of crickets and the master Arturo Alape. Mausoleum of men
and women of exquisite pen described by Ignacio Ramírez Pinzón.
Dead celebrities, living underground that are more alive today than ever.

happy Ghosts is the title of this book written from the playful handling its author, who among other things has been declared clinically dead (in Italy, 2000) and faced dangers inherent in a wandering adventurer who traveled several sometimes hundreds of countries in the exercise of stubbornness with motto: to show that most Colombians are peaceful people and we must unite to appease the violent. Ignacio Ramírez
account happy ghosts their personal experiences with death, also runs stories and memories of their loved ones have died and countless opens up a range of characters where they are from the most great artists and public figures who will never forget, to movers and shakers who want to discover and descriptions from these lectures. Sample Buttons: María Félix, Celia Cruz, Alejandro Obregon, Hector Rojas Herazo, Manuel Zapata Olivella, Marvell Moreno, Arturo Alape, Germain Vargas ... and also a poet and philosopher named Glicerio Wayuu Pana, with whom he spent nights and nights on the beaches of Cabo de la Vela talking about poems and stars, or Eustorgio a raicero's Lair, in the Choco rainforest, who taught him the secrets of plants, or an uncle who was a gardener by trade and initiated him into the poetry with the names of flowers. And the painters: Saturnino Ramirez, Heinz Goll, Tiberius Vanegas, another painted to live and live to paint or a man who wrote birds, or one that lived in trees and to die in the sky vanished.
Anyway ... is only an emotional remembrance of names, images, and breaths that remain after reading happy Ghosts, a book that lends skeletons Guadalupe Posada live rumba, a cheerful philosophy and logic of Lady Death, a book and hopefully a friend for wanting to keep on hand on the nightstand, in the companion case everywhere, because here we are reminded at every turn that the word, poetry, criticism, philosophy of great fun Cronopio Julio Cortázar, who also lives happily his death reflect between humor and freedom the only tangible truth: Here we are!
