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 Black Market Capital written by Andrew Konove and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2018-05-25 with total page 317 pages. 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 Unholy Trinity written by Rebecca Janzen and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2021-09-01 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rebecca Janzen brings a unique applied understanding of religion to bear on analysis of Mexican cinema from the Golden Age of the 1930s onward. Unholy Trinity first examines canonical films like Emilio Fernández's María Candelaria and Río Escondido that mythologize Mexico's past, suggesting that religious imagery and symbols are used to negotiate the place of religion in a modernizing society. It next studies films of the 1970s, which use motifs of corruption and illicit sexuality to critique both church and state. Finally, an examination of films from the 1990s and 2000s, including Guita Schyfter's Novia que te vea, a film that portrays Mexico City's Ashkenazi and Sephardic Jewish communities in the twentieth century, and Carlos Carrera's controversial 2002 film El crimen del padre Amaro, argues that religious imagery—related to the Catholic Church, people's interpretations of Catholicism, and representations of Jewish communities in Mexico—allows the films to critically engage with Mexican politics, identity, and social issues.

Download or read book Dreaming of Dry Land written by Vera S. Candiani and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2014-06-04 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Not long after the conquest, the City of Mexico's rise to become the crown jewel in the Spanish empire was compromised by the lakes that surrounded it. Their increasing propensity to overflow destroyed wealth and alarmed urban elites, who responded with what would become the most transformative and protracted drainage project in the early modern America—the Desagüe de Huehuetoca. Hundreds of technicians, thousands of indigenous workers, and millions of pesos were marshaled to realize a complex system of canals, tunnels, dams, floodgates, and reservoirs. Vera S. Candiani's Dreaming of Dry Land weaves a narrative that describes what colonization was and looked like on the ground, and how it affected land, water, biota, humans, and the relationship among them, to explain the origins of our built and unbuilt landscapes. Connecting multiple historiographical traditions—history of science and technology, environmental history, social history, and Atlantic history—Candiani proposes that colonization was a class, not an ethnic or nation-based phenomenon, occurring simultaneously on both sides of an Atlantic, where state-building and empire-building were intertwined.
