Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Desde el momento en que Peter tuvo conciencia del sentido de su existencia (5 años de edad), sintió la energía única del Caribe, la magia de Cuba que moldeó su destino sin igual. Peter, un niño con genio artístico y una sensibilidad extraordinaria, es víctima de abuso físico; al saber esto de manera accidental, su abuela y confidente, acude a la santería como un recurso para liberarlo de dicho trauma y esta experiencia trae consigo predicciones que llenan esta historia de esoterismo al estilo Caribe, en la lucha de Peter por superar las debilidades del ego y su encuentro con ley de atracción. Al ser víctima del gobierno castrista, la madre de Peter decide inmigrar a Nueva York y, a pesar del increíble desafío de empezar una nueva vida en un país foráneo y con recursos, dramáticamente, limitados, la cadena de personajes que Peter conoce en el trayecto de su vida es sin igual: Che Guevara, Fidel Castro, Liza Minelli, Oscar de la Renta, Mia Farrow, Truman Capote, Vidal Sassoon, Jaqueline Kennedy, Diana Ross, Whitney Houston y muchos más. Esta historia cuenta con la influencia esotérica de la cultura cubana, por medio de las predicciones de Isabel, la bruja santera, (entre ellas develar a los asesinos de Kennedy y Marilyn Monroe), y a la vez, varios enfoques como el de Neale Donald, “Conversations with God”, Abraham Hicks, “Ask and it is given”, Facundo Cabral “Este es un nuevo día”.

Download or read book Directory of Spanish and Portuguese Film Makers and Films written by Rafael de España and published by Greenwood. This book was released on 1994-11-29 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new book catalogues some 215 prominent film directors from both countries, giving accurate bio-filmographies and providing an in-depth reference source. Full attention is given to the propaganda cinema under dictators Franco and Salazar, to film-makers who left to work abroad--especially in Latin America--and to those filming in the regional languages (mainly Basque and Catalan). There is coverage not only of internationally well-known figures Almodovar, Bunuel, Oliveira, and Saura, but also across the complete range of feature, documentary, and animation film-making: early pioneers Segundo de Chomon, Catalans Jose Maria Codina, Fructuoso Gelabert, and Magi Muria, and Portuguese Aurelio da Paz dos Reis; experimentalists and avant-garde figures such as Lorenzo Llobet-Gracia, Jose Val del Omar, and Nemesio Sobrevila and documentarist Antonio Campos; animators Cruz Delgado, Francisco Macian, and Arturo Moreno (who worked on the first full-length animated film in Europe, Garbancito de la Mancha, in 1945). Each entry gives information on the film-maker's career (date and place of birth, educational qualifications, work experience, positions held), together with a list of films made, with dates of production. There are three indexes: Country Index, Film Title Index, and General Index. The index of film titles lists over 3,000 entries, including the original languages and their English language and aka equivalents.
Download or read book Historical Dictionary of the dirty Wars written by David R. Kohut and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2010 with total page 461 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unlike a conventional war waged against a standing army, a "dirty war" is waged against individuals, groups, or ideas considered subversive. Originally associated with Argentina's military regime from 1976-1983, the term has since been applied to neighboring dictatorships during the period. Indeed, it has become a byword for state-sponsored repression anywhere in the world. The first edition of this reference illustrated the concept by describing the regimes of Argentina, Chile (1973-1990), and Uruguay (1973-1985), which tortured, murdered, and disappeared thousands of people in the name of anticommunism while thousands more were driven into exile. The second edition expands the scope to include Bolivia (1971-1982), Brazil (1964-1985), and Paraguay (1954-1989). Includes a chronology, an introductory essay, a bibliography, and over 400 cross-referenced dictionary entries on the countries; guerrilla and political movements; prominent guerrilla, human-rights, military, and political figures; local, regional, and international human-rights organizations; and artistic figures (filmmakers, novelists, and playwrights) whose works attempt to represent or resist the period of repression.--Publisher.
