Life, Bernard Trink, Published on 07/03/2016
» The first lesson every recruit learns is keep your head down and never volunteer. There are 22 ranks above yours and all give you orders. They don't want to hear a word out of you, except "Yes, sergeant" or "Yes, sir". It's been like this since ancient times. Don't even think. It is not what you are in the army for.

Books as bridge to Latin culture
Life, Anchalee Kongrut, Published on 07/03/2016
» For many Thais, Latin America seems an unknown land. Asst Prof Pasuree Luesakul, an acclaimed translator of many Latin American novels, believes that Thais miss a good chance to learn the culture which is strikingly similar to ours. With a doctorate in Latin American Literature from University of Salamanca in Spain, Pasuree is now head of Spanish section and director of the Center of Latin American Studies, Department of Western Languages at Chulalongkorn University's Faculty of Arts. She has translated the Chilean Nobel laureate Pablo Neruda's Twenty Love Poems And A Song Of Despair and María Rosa Lojo's historical novel Finisterre. She is also editor of the bilingual version of César Vallej's Anthology, a project subsidised by the Embassy of Peru in Thailand to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the diplomatic relations between Thailand and Peru.
