Book Cr  menes  Diez casos reales  Cr  menes 2

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

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».

[...] Sin duda, Carles Porta se ha convertido en un maestro de la narración de crímenes reales en el mundo de los medios modernos». Laura Pérez Mariño, Qué! ...Sobre Crímenes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the summer of 1792, a man wearing the rough garb of a vaquero stepped out of the night shadows of Mérida, Yucatan, and murdered the province’s top royal official, don Lucas de Gálvez. This book recounts the mystery of the Gálvez murder and its resolution, an event that captured contemporaries’ imaginations throughout the Hispanic world and caused consternation on the part of authorities in both Mexico and Madrid. In this work Lentz further provides a readable introduction to the Bourbon Reforms as well as new insights on late colonial Yucatecan society through the vast depictions of the cross-section of Yucatecan people questioned during the decade it took to uncover the assassin’s identity. These suspects and witnesses, from all walks of life, reveal the interconnected layers found in colonial Yucatecan society and the social networks of Mérida’s urban underclass as well as their unexpected ties to the creole elites and rural Mayas that have previously been unexplored.

Book Propriety and Permissiveness in Bourbon Mexico

Download or read book Propriety and Permissiveness in Bourbon Mexico written by Juan Pedro Viqueira Alban and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 1999-09-01 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The eighteenth century in New Spain witnessed major changes: among these, one of the most significant was the adoption of French customs among the upper groups of society in response to the spreading ideas of the Enlightenment. In addition, New Spain's economy and culture were also changing radically. The spread of these French-inspired ideas and customs soon reached the rest of urban society. These new ideas, it has been assumed, brought a relaxation of social customs. But Viqueira Alban takes this assumption, and raises the question: Was it really a period of relaxation of social customs, in this age of "growth without development?" He discovered that the movement of rural workers and their families to urban centers created a concern within the church and government hierarchy about the threat of disorder, leading to the need for new social restraints. By the end of the eighteenth century, New Spain was characterized by a very rich, agitated, and varied social life. This book explores the history of Mexico City in the eighteenth century, focusing on society, social classes, elite culture and popular culture. Propriety and Permissiveness examines how the elite culture in Mexico City attempted to create more space between themselves and the masses. Their anxiety about their status encouraged laws and practices that enforced social space. Bullfighting, the theater, street diversions, and the game of pelota (called jai-alai in the United States today) are all examined as part of the culture of this period. This new text is ideal for colonial Latin American survey courses, courses on the history of Mexico and Latin American literature, and courses on the popular culture and social history of Latin America.

Book The Birth of Modern Mexico  1780 1824

Download or read book The Birth of Modern Mexico 1780 1824 written by Christon I. Archer and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2007 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Birth of Modern Mexico, 1780-1824 investigates the roots of the Mexican Independence era from a variety of perspectives. The essays in this volume link the pre-1810 late Bourbon period to the War of Independence (1810-1821), analyze many crucial aspects of the decade of conflict, and illustrate the continuities with the first years of the independent Mexican nation. They all contribute to a nuanced view of the period: the different conceptions of legitimacy between the popular masses and the elite, the skill and importance of pro-Spanish propaganda, the process of organizing conspiracies, the survival and thriving of a mercantile family, the causes of failing mines, the role of religious thought in the supposed secular state, and differing conceptions of authority by the legislature and the executive. One of the few readable, concise books on the topic of independence, this volume probes the birth of modern Mexico in a crisply written style that is sure to appeal to historians and students of Mexican history.
