Download or read book Histories of Perplexity written by A. Ricardo López-Pedreros and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-03-19 with total page 455 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By combining chronological coverage, analytical breadth, and interdisciplinary approaches, these two volumes—Histories of Solitude and Histories of Perplexity—study the histories of Colombia over the past two centuries as illustrations of the histories of democracy across the Americas. The volumes bring together over 40 scholars based in Colombia, the United States, England, and Canada working in various disciplines to discuss how a country that has been consistently presented as a rarity in Latin America provides critical examples to re-examine major historical problems: republicanism and liberalism; export economies and agrarian modernization; populism and cultural politics of state formation; revolutionary and counterinsurgent Cold War violence; neoliberal reforms and urban development; popular mobilization and counterhegemonic public spheres; political ecologies and environmental struggles; and labors of memory and the challenge of reconciliation. Contributors are sensitive to questions of subjectivity and discourse, observant of ethnographic details and micro-politics, and attuned to macro-perspectives such as transnational and global histories. These volumes offer fresh perspectives on Colombia and will be of great value to those interested in Latin American and Caribbean history.

Download or read book God is Round written by Juan Villoro and published by Restless Books. This book was released on 2016-04-22 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A brilliant, kaleidoscopic exploration of soccer—and the passion, hopes, rivalries, superstitions, and global solidarity it inspires—from award-winning author and Mexico’s leading sports journalist, Juan Villoro. On a planet where FIFA has more members than the United Nations and the World Cup is watched by more than three billion people, football is more than just a game. As revered author Juan Villoro argues in this passionate and compulsively readable tribute to the world’s favorite sport, football may be the most effective catalyst for panglobal unity at the time when we need it most. (Following global consensus, Villoro uses “football” rather than “soccer” in the book.) What was the greatest goal of all time? Why do the Hungarians have a more philosophical sense of defeat than the Mexicans? Do the dead play football? In essays ranging from incisive and irreverent portraits of Maradona, Messi, Ronaldo, Pelé, Zidane, and many more giants of the game to entertaining explorations of left-footedness and the number 10, Juan Villoro dissects the pleasure and pain of football fandom. God Is Round is a book for both fanatics and neophytes who long to feel the delirium of the faithful. Praise for God is Round “If you want to talk about soccer, go talk to Juan Villoro.” —Carlos Fuentes “In trying times like these, when the anguish and uncertainty can be almost too much to bear, Mexico turns to him, its philosopher-fanatic, to make sense of the seemingly nonsensical. With the nation’s hopes for the World Cup spiraling into doubt and chaos, Juan Villoro, one of Mexico’s most decorated and esteemed writers — who also happens to be a leading soccer analyst—comes charging down the metaphorical field to scold, explain and extract the lessons within.” —The New York Times “The literature of Juan Villoro…is opening up the path of the new Spanish novel of the millennium.” —Roberto Bolaño “[Villoro] has assumed the Octavio Paz mantle of Mexican public wise man of letters (though with none of Paz’s solemnity, for Villoro is as boyishly effusive, brimming with laughter and cleverness, as Paz was paternalistically dour—and, of course, Villoro, the author of the book God Is Round, may be the most fútbol-obsessed man alive)” —Francisco Goldman, The New Yorker Juan Villoro is Mexico’s most prolific, prize-winning author, playwright, journalist, and screenwriter. His books have been translated into multiple languages; he has received the Herralde Award in Spain for his novel El testigo, the Antonin Artaud award in France for Los culpables. His novel, Arrecife, was recently short-listed for the Rezzori Prize in Italy. Villoro lives in Mexico City and is a visiting lecturer at Yale and Princeton universities. Thomas Bunstead's translations from the Spanish include work by Eduardo Halfon and Yuri Herrera, Aixa de la Cruz's story “True Milk” in Best of European Fiction, and the forthcoming A Brief History of Portable Literature by Enrique Vila-Matas (a co-translation with Anne McLean). A guest editor of a Words Without Borders feature on Mexico (March 2015), Thomas has also published his own writing in the Times Literary Supplement, The Independent, the Paris Review blog, 3ammagazine, Days of Roses, readysteadybook, and >kill author.

Book excerpt: Un testimonio único y estremecedor de uno de los periodos más terribles de la historia de Colombia Yo soy el hijo del cartel de Cali es el testimonio de William Rodríguez Abadía, hijo y sobrino de Miguel y Gilberto Rodríguez Orejuela, fundadores de una de las organizaciones criminales más temidas de Colombia en la década de los noventa. Por primera vez y con un tono íntimo, el heredero de uno de los emporios criminales más grandes de América cuenta cómo se vivió al interior de la familia Rodríguez Orejuela la encarnizada lucha contra Pablo Escobar y el agotamiento de los recursos para lograr impedir las órdenes de extradición que pesaban en su contra. Tras cuatro años de vivir en la clandestinidad y luego cumplir pena de cárcel, el autor pone en riesgo su seguridad y la de su familia para describir en este testimonio revelador, los entresijos del funcionamiento del cartel, la compra de conciencias y la penetración de la organización criminal en las más altas esferas de la vida política, económica y social de Colombia. El lector conocerá a una familia dominada por el pacto de silencio del padre y el tío y encontrará respuestas a muchas interrogantes que van desde el vínculo entre el fútbol y el narcotráfico hasta los favores políticos y el Proceso ocho mil.

Book excerpt: El mundo de los Recursos Humanos está plagado de generalizaciones que traen de cabeza a los responsables de esta área de negocio. Tanto es así que en más de una ocasión preguntas como si es mejor contar con gente leal a la hora de elegir un equipo o no, si la experiencia es la condición básica a la hora de incorporar a alguien a una empresa, si pedir una cláusula de blindaje es una muestra de desconfianza hacía el candidato, cómo elaborar un código de conducta o cuál es la mejor forma de medir el impacto en la formación de un empleado, resuenan en sus adentros cual dilema indescifrable. Con el fin de arrojar luz sobre dichas dudas o situaciones, los diez autores de Los mitos de Silvia (Plácido Fajardo, Ignacio Mazo, Carlos Espinosa, Aránzazu Montes, Jorge Cagigas, Eugenio de Andrés, Juan Pablo Ventosa, Amparo Díaz-Llairó, Javier Martín de la Fuente y Carlos Sánchez) han elaborado un ameno y sencillo manual que, a buen seguro, ayudará a más de un profesional a tener la respuesta adecuada en diferentes situaciones o a valorar si la decisión que se toma es la mejor.

Download or read book Tell Me Who I Am written by Julia Navarro and published by PLAZA & JANÉS. This book was released on 2014-02-13 with total page 964 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A journalist receives a proposal to investigate the eventful life of his great-grandmother, about whom all that is known is that she fled Spain, abandoning her husband and child, shortly before the Civil War broke out. The memoir of an entire century, this novel adds a new, original chapter to Julia Navarro's best-selling career. Tell Me Who I Am surprises and enchants with a captivating and heartrending story. This is a novel about memory and identity with an exceptionallywell-drawn and unforgettable literary character: a woman who throughout her extraordinary life was able to achieve the highly difficult feat of knowing herself. A victim of her mistakes, aware of her guilt, frightened by her traumas, she is above all an anti-heroine, a flesh-and-blood woman who always acts according to her principles, facing up to every challenge and making errors for which she will never fully pay. A woman who decided that she couldn't be neutral in this life. Navarro's most personal novel surprises for its melodrama and the raw emotions transmitted by many of its stories. It is filled with pure adventure, introspection and political chronicle. From the tumultuous years of the Second Spanish Republic to the fall of the Berlin Wall, including World War II and the Cold War, these pages are packed with intrigue, emotion, politics, espionage, love, betrayal and settings like Madrid, Barcelona, Paris, Buenos Aires, Mexico, Moscow, London, Berlin and Warsaw with brief stopovers in The Basque Country, Cairo, Athens, Lisbon and New York.

Download or read book Los Hijos de Dios written by MoiséS Dueñas and published by Palibrio. This book was released on 2012-08 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Roberto entra al consumo de las drogas de la forma en que TODOS lo hacen; "Gradualmente", no se trata de una narración de hechos externos solamente, Roberto narra sus experiencias psíquicas, emocionales y sobre todo espirituales, en un drama de prostitución, homicidio, narcotráfico, corrupción, alcoholismo, drogadicción y espiritualidad. El alimento a sus apetitos perversos son satisfechos a su antojo pero, el espíritu también reclama su alimento que lo encuentra al alcance de su respiración, solo que al inhalarlo lo exhala rápidamente, los fantasmas de su mente nacieron en su infancia traumatizada por el abuso sexual, el alcoholismo de su padre y la drogadicción de sus hermanos mayores. La miseria interna es mezclada con la divinidad de su espíritu llevando en sus poros la lucha eterna del amor y el odio, la paz y la guerra, la muerte y la vida, la condena y la emancipación. La novela es narrada con lenguaje cotidiano e intencionalmente prosaico tocando la vulgaridad para remontar en la belleza de la descripción subjetiva y refinada para el disfrute de la lectura. En ningún momento es tediosa o predecible, contrario a esto va de un drama catastrófico familiar hasta llegar al culmen de la perversión individual en un intenso desarrollo existencial. Su vida se desarrolla en la ciudad de México encontrando su desenlace en un país tan lleno de paradojas sin sentido y que irónicamente es ahí donde el final se desarrolla. Los hijos de Dios... no es una novela religiosa, tampoco es una novela de superación personal, es una novela de realidad subjetiva vista desde un mexicano Drogadicto. A pesar de ello no deja de ser una historia ficticia mezclada con elementos reales, aunque los escépticos pueden muy bien leerla tendrán que responder a muchas preguntas que surgirán en su mente en el transcurso de la lectura. Por lo tanto la novela no busca dar solución a problemas existenciales, plasma los problemas existenciales más comunes para provocar empatía y analizar las alternativas de clarificación so pretexto de las adicciones. La motivación surgió después de muchos años de escuchar historias de adictos y, que a pesar de la diversidad de experiencias y que muchas de ellas son sorprendentes, todos ellos tienen algo en común: "El adicto usa droga por que busca algo", los adictos son buscadores y muchos de ellos se pierden en esa búsqueda. Su búsqueda no se centra en cosas tangibles, como posesiones económicas o materiales a pesar de las apariencias, su deseo de encontrar va mas allá de lo físico, por eso la mayoría de los drogos son metafísicos, su atención se detiene en lo misterioso, en la subjetividad y sobre todo en lo espiritual. Lo más curioso es que cada adicto encuentra su propio camino de búsqueda, los expertos opinan que la puerta de entrada al universo de las drogas inicia casualmente con el uso de una droga legal para terminar con las ilegales, sin embargo; se observa que hay un comportamiento previo a esto, conducta dirigida a la obtención del placer proporcionado por los instintos en el cuál el mas destacable es el sexual, cosa que no es de sorprenderse porque el efecto de cualquier droga es orgiástica...y es así querido lector que esta obra esta impregnada de erotismo pero descrita desde el interior del protagonista sin acudir a la descripción literal.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: De Profundis and Other Prison Writings is a new selection of Oscar Wilde's prison letters and poetry in Penguin Classics, edited and introduced by Colm Tóibín. At the start of 1895, Oscar Wilde was the toast of London, widely feted for his most recent stage success, An Ideal Husband. But by May of the same year, Wilde was in Reading prison sentenced to hard labour.

This edition also includes further letters to his wife, his friends, the Home Secretary, newspaper editors and his lover Lord Alfred Douglas - Bosie - himself, as well as 'The Ballad of Reading Gaol', the heart-rending poem about a man sentenced to hang for the murder of the woman he loved. This Penguin edition is based on the definitive Complete Letters, edited by Wilde's grandson Merlin Holland. Colm Tóibín's introduction explores Wilde's duality in love, politics and literature. This edition also includes notes on the text and suggested further reading. Oscar Wilde was born in Dublin. His three volumes of short fiction, The Happy Prince, Lord Arthur Savile's Crime and A House of Pomegranates, together with his only novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray, won him a reputation as a writer with an original talent, a reputation enhanced by the phenomenal success of his society comedies - Lady Windermere's Fan, A Woman of No Importance, An Ideal Husband and The Importance of Being Earnest. Colm Tóibín is the author of five novels, including The Blackwater Lightship and The Master, and a collection of stories, Mothers and Sons. His essay collection Love in a Dark Time: Gay Lives from Wilde to Almodovar appeared in 2002. He is the editor of The Penguin Book of Irish Fiction.
