Download or read book Cr menes Diez casos reales Cr menes 2 written by Carles Porta and published by RESERVOIR BOOKS. This book was released on 2022-04-07 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: *****INCREÍBLEMENTE REAL***** El periodismo literario de Carles Porta sigue la estela de Ferdinand von Schirach y Patrick Radden Keefe. Carles Porta probablemente sea uno de nuestros mejores periodistas, pero sin duda se ha coronado, con sus libros, podcasts y series televisivas, como un magistral narrador de relatos reales. En este volumen, que recoge diez de los casos más impactantes de la crónica negra reciente, descubriremos su especialidad literaria: contarnos extraordinarias historias de crimen y trabajo policial mientras nos mantiene en vilo hasta la última línea. La fórmula puede parecer sencilla, pero él la convierte en inimitable gracias al tratamiento riguroso que hace de los grandes personajes que escoge y la manera en que los sabe envolver en tramas tan potentes como verídicas. Aquí encontraremos, entre otros: el caso de Amaia Azkue, la vecina de Zarautz cuyo asesino fue identificado por un detalle trivial; la estremecedora desaparición de los hermanos Òrrit en el hospital de Manresa y la búsqueda que ha llevado a cabo durante décadas su numerosa familia; el asesinato a sangre fría de un hombre en Madrid a causa de un macabro juego de rol; o el sangriento robo que cometió una mujer en Fargo, Dakota del Norte, contra su propia vecina. La crítica ha dicho: «El rey de la crónica negra en España.» El Mundo «Un maestro de relatar crónica negra.» Lídia Penelo, Público «Un profundo ejercicio de depuración de estilo.» ABC «Periodismo en profundidad, y próximo.» La Vanguardia «Combina el rigor y el entretenimiento sin caer en la tentación del morbo ni tampoco rehuir los anzuelos para propulsar la lectura.» El País La crítica ha dicho sobre La farmacéutica: «Se lee todo del tirón y uno no da crédito a que sucediera de verdad. [...] Crónica definitiva de aquel secuestro, es un libro de lectura muy dinámica.» El Mundo «Lo que realmente le gusta a Porta es contar buenas historias. [...] La última es un clásico de 1992, tiene como protagonista a una farmacéutica y la cuenta en un gran libro.» La Vanguardia «Un solo hilo narrativo que combina la vivacidad, el drama y la ironía, además de evidenciar la grandeza y, a su vez, la miseria humana. [...] Sin duda, con esta crónica, Porta se consagra, según los expertos del género, como un maestro del periodismo narrativo.» NacióDigital «Este libro pone orden y claridad a los acontecimientos: Porta narra con dinamismoy rellena todos los agujeros con tal de revertir los malentendidos que circulan en la esfera pública.» El País «Una crónica trepidante.» ABC «Una especie de Fargo en la Garrotxa.» Diari de Girona

Download or read book Cr menes Siete historias de oscuridad Cr menes 1 written by Carles Porta and published by RESERVOIR BOOKS. This book was released on 2023-10-19 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Los crímenes reales más increíbles, como jamás te los han contado. Por el creador de ¿Por qué matamos? y Crims/Crímenes ***INCLUYE EL CRIMEN DE LA GUARDIA URBANA*** Carles Porta es el narrador de crímenes más singular del panorama nacional. Sus historias son estremecedoras sin amarillismo, frías pero delicadas, apasionantes sin caer en lo morboso. En este volumen se reúnen siete crónicas narradas con ritmo experto y rigor documental, la marca del éxito de su autor. Entre ellas, destacan el crimen de la Viuda Negra de L'Hospitalet, que en los años noventa fue definida como «la asesina en serie por envenenamiento más importante de la historia criminal española»; el caso del rico informático catalán descuartizado en Bangkok; la historia del camionero alemán que, en sus viajes por Europa, fue dejando un rastro de muerte a largo de veinte países; o el célebre caso de la Guardia Urbana, en el que las intrincadas declaraciones de los protagonistas van conformado un relato donde la realidad supera a la ficción. Como colofón, esta edición incluye también los guiones completos de la miniserie El Crimen de la Guardia Urbana, emitida en TV3 y Movistar+, donde asistimos al desenlace final de uno de los sucesos más mediáticos de la historia reciente de nuestro país. La crítica ha dicho: «Hoy, Porta es el capo del true crime en España». Antonio Rivera, Esquire «Periodismo en profundidad, y próximo». La Vanguardia «El rey del true crime en España».

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this extraordinary new book, Andrew Konove traces the history of illicit commerce in Mexico City from the seventeenth century to the twentieth, showing how it became central to the economic and political life of the city. The story centers on the untold history of the Baratillo, the city’s infamous thieves’ market. Originating in the colonial-era Plaza Mayor, the Baratillo moved to the neighborhood of Tepito in the early twentieth century, where it grew into one of the world’s largest emporiums for black-market goods. Konove uncovers the far-reaching ties between vendors in the Baratillo and political and mercantile elites in Mexico City, revealing the surprising clout of vendors who trafficked in the shadow economy and the diverse individuals who benefited from their trade.

Download or read book Fatal Love written by Victor Uribe-Uran and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2015-12-16 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One night in December 1800, in the distant mission outpost of San Antonio in northern Mexico, Eulalia Californio and her lover Primo plotted the murder of her abusive husband. While the victim was sleeping, Prio and his brother tied a rope around Juan Californio's neck. One of them sat on his body while the other pulled on the rope and the woman, grabbing her husband by the legs, pulled in the opposite direction. After Juan Californio suffocated, Eulalia ran to the mission and reported that her husband had choked while chewing tobacco. Suspicious, the mission priests reported the crime to the authorities in charge of the nearest presidio. For historians, spousal murders are significant for what they reveal about social and family history, in particular the hidden history of day-to-day gender relations, conflicts, crimes, and punishments. Fatal Love examines this phenomenon in the late colonial Spanish Atlantic, focusing on incidents occurring in New Spain (colonial Mexico), New Granada (colonial Colombia), and Spain from the 1740s to the 1820s. In the more than 200 cases consulted, it considers not only the social features of the murders, but also the legal discourses and judicial practices guiding the historical treatment of spousal murders, helping us understand the historical intersection of domestic violence, private and state/church patriarchy, and the law.
