آیا تا به حال پلی ساخته‌ایم؟
در زمان‌های دور دو برادر در کنار هم بر سر زمینی که از پدرشان به ارث برده بودند کار می‌کردند و در نزدیک هم خانه‌هایی برای خودشان ساخته بودند و به خوبی روزگار می‌گذراندند. برحسب اتفاق روزی بر سر مسئله‌ای با هم به اختلاف رسیدند. برادر کوچکتر بین زمین‌ها و خانه‌هایشان کانال بزرگی حفر کرد و داخل آن آب انداخت تا هیچ گونه ارتباطی با هم نداشته باشند.
برادر بزرگتر هم ناراحت شد و از نجاری خواست تا با نصب پرچین‌های بلند کاری کند تا برادرش را نبیند و خودش عازم شهر شد. هنگام عصر که برگشت با تعجب دید که نجار بجای ساخت دیوار چوبی یک پل بزرگ ساخته است.
برادر کوچکتر که از صبح شاهد این صحنه بود پیش خود اندیشید حتماً برادرش برای آشتی دستور ساخت پل را داده است و بی‌صبرانه منتظر بازگشت او بود.
رفت و برادر بزرگ را در آغوش گرفت و از او معذرت‌خواهی کرد. دو برادر از نجار خواستند چند روزی مهمان آنها باشد. اما او گفت: پل‌های زیادی هستند که او باید بسازد و رفت.

Have we ever built a bridge?
In the distant times, two brothers worked side by side on the land they inherited from their father and built houses for themselves nearby and had a good time. As it happened, one day they had a disagreement over an issue. The younger brother dug a big canal between their lands and houses and poured water into it so that they would have no connection with each other.
The older brother was also upset and asked a carpenter to install tall hedges so that he could not see his brother and left to the city himself. When he returned in the evening, he was surprised to see that the carpenter had built a big bridge instead of a wooden wall. The younger brother, who witnessed this scene from the morning, thought to himself that his brother must have ordered the construction of the bridge for reconciliation and was impatiently waiting for his return.
He went and hugged his big brother and apologized to him. Two brothers asked the carpenter to be their guest for a few days. But he said: There are many bridges that he has to build and left.

La historia textil de la Magdalena Contreras no puede contarse correctamente sin la del Ferrocarril del Balsas, que fue clave para el florecimiento de la localidad.

En 1897 se inauguró oficialmente la vía Ferrocarril México-Cuernavaca y el Pacífico que, además de permitir el tráfico de materia prima y mercancía terminada; ofreció trabajo a muchas generaciones de Contrerenses.

Durante décadas la vida productiva de la región orbitó alrededor de la presencia del ferrocarril, originando una cultura de respeto y admiración hacia el oficio que aún prevalece hasta nuestros días. 

En 1997, después de casi 100 años de operación, el Ferrocarril Balsas dejó de dar servicio, enterrando así el romance que sostuvo con la industria textil durante tanto tiempo.  Actualmente algunos vestigios de la línea férrea se exhiben en el parque recreativo-cultural La Estación, que mantiene vivo el recuerdo de la época dorada del ferrocarril en Contreras. 

Pese a que el lino, la lana y el algodón ya no forman parte de la cotidianidad de la Magdalena Contreras, hay muchos indicios que permanentemente les recuerdan sus raíces a los locales. El Parque de Los Dinamos, por ejemplo, le debe su nombre a las plantas de energía hidroeléctrica escalonadas –conocidas como dinamos- que alguna vez alimentaron a las industrias textiles. El antiguo domicilio de los dueños de la fábrica El Águila es ahora La Casa de las Bellas Artes Juventino Rosas, en honor al célebre compositor quien, supuestamente, aquí escribió el “Vals sobre las Olas” inspirado en el vaivén del Río Magdalena. La fábrica per sé es ahora el Foro Cultural, mientras que el Centro Cultural Magdalena Contreras se erige sobre lo que en la década de los cuarenta fue el Cine Contreras.

If you thought social media was just a place for viral dances and cat photos, think again.

Popular influencers on apps like TikTok and YouTube have been boosting book sales with their videos.

And many are watched by millions.

The BookTok community on TikTok has been influential in encouraging users — who are often young people — to buy real books in bookshops.

But a survey from 2022 found that YouTube is actually the most popular place for young people to discover new books on social media.

The survey was done in November 2022 by Nielsen Book Data. It found that in the UK, 34% of people aged between 14 and 25 used YouTube — which is known for its BookTube community — for their book ideas.

TikTok was used by 32%, and 27% went to Instagram to find out about new books.

Some reports in recent years have said that young people are reading less than ever. But according to The Guardian, people in the 14 to 25 age group bought around 61 million books in the UK in 2022.

This was 18% of all books bought.

And it's not just social media where they're finding reading recommendations.

The most common way to discover new books is by talking to friends. Forty-one percent said they do this, while 35% find out about their books by visiting bookshops.

The survey also reported that fantasy action and fantasy adventure stories are the most popular among young people.
