Download or read book Josaphat un Fot Grafo Entre Dos Mundos written by Alfonso Martínez Guerra and published by Palibrio. This book was released on 2012-07 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Esta obra trata sobre la vida de un exitoso fotógrafo poblano de principios del siglo pasado, Josaphat Martínez, cuya transcendencia en las artes gráficas de su época, dejó de una profunda huella en la modalidad fotografía. Su talento y sensibilidad le permitieron ascender rápidamente como profesional, primero en México, retratando a los principales caudillos de la Revolución Mexicana, y posteriormente en las ciudades de Rochester y Nueva York, encomendándosele la toma fotográfica del presidente Woodrow Wilson, algo difícil de darse a un mexicano, debido a las tensas relaciones EU-México, y por lo tanto la animadversión hacia los mexicanos era en ese entonces sumamente marcada. Sin ser biografía de Josaphat propiamente dicha, la obra describe una parte de su interesante vida y por otro lado, en el relato de la misma, pueden captarse los momentos históricos que se vivían, en ambos países, llegando hasta la vida posrevolucionaria de México.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Relata en forma ágil los pormenores de una su suigéneris investigación para tratar de dejar en claro de una vez por todas la imposibilidad de la supuesta paternidad del rey español Felipe V sobre uno de los antepasados del Autor, el capitán Juan Diego Longoria, uno de los fundadores en 1749, junto a otras 40 familias, de Santa Ana de Camargo en el antiguo Nuevo Santander. A algunos de los descendientes del capitán Longoria les fueron mercedades por la Corona Española, en 1767, tierras de extensas dimensiones al Norte del Río Bravo, mismas que a raíz del Tratado de Guadalupe Hidalgo quedaron del lado de territorio norteamericano. El rumor -llegado a oídos del Autor en 1986- de una supuesta herencia derivada de la extracción de petróleo en dichas tierras y que estaría a disposición de sus descendientes hasta la octava generación, amén de un viaje realizado por el Autor a España, Francia y Portugal en 1989, fueron motivo de su primer libro que no rebasó el ámbito familiar. En este su segundo corrige los errores y omisiones en que incurrió en el primero y de paso descubre cómo algunos de los apellidos más conocidos de la región forman parte de su árbol genealógico.

Book excerpt: En La inagotable lectura, Eduardo Lantigua se vale de la poesía para enfocar algunas paradojas del hombre citadino en la posmodernidad: la soledad en medio de la multitud, estar muerto en vida y el nomadismo. Para ello, adopta una directriz metafórica que nos permite hurgar allá, en lo más hondo, a través de ciertos símbolos intuitivos y evocativos, sensoriales a veces, que nos dejan una visión llena de matices y aristas de un Nueva York cruento, frío y bestializado.

Download or read book El Ascenso de Marco Rubio written by Manuel Roig-Franzia and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-08-07 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now in a Spanish-language edition: the definitive biography of Senator Marco Rubio, the youngest Speaker of the Florida Statehouse and the biggest rising star in the Republican Party. Florida Senator Marco Rubio has been called the “crown prince” of the Tea Party movement and “the Michael Jordan of Republican politics.” Some might think that’s a bit of an exaggeration, but no one—not even his rivals in the Democratic Party—disagrees with the fact that Marco Rubio is going far in American politics. Manuel Roig-Franzia delivers the story of how Rubio came up so fast and why. It’s a classic American odyssey: his parents left Cuba for a better economic life in Miami a few years before Castro came to power; his father worked as a bartender, his mother as a maid and then stock clerk at Kmart. When the cocaine cowboys were terrorizing south Florida, Rubio’s family moved to Vegas, where his father worked in a gambling hall. When they moved back to south Florida, the small but tough Rubio made the football team, became an expert on the Miami Dolphins, and raced to begin a political career minutes after graduating from law school. By the time he was sworn in as speaker of the Florida House of Representatives in 2000, he was the youngest person and the first Hispanic to hold that position. Mike Huckabee likes to say: “He is our Barack Obama with substance.” Marco describes all facets of this policy wonk married to a former Dolphins cheerleader with whom he has four children. Rubio has the endurance, smarts and charisma to be a presence on the American political scene for years to come. This is a book his fans, and critics, must read.

Download or read book Latin American Women and the Literature of Madness written by Elvira Sánchez-Blake and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-05-11 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the turn of the millennium, narrative works by Latin American women writers have represented madness within contexts of sociopolitical strife and gender inequality. This book explores contemporary Latin American realities through madness narratives by prominent women authors, including Cristina Peri Rossi (Uruguay), Lya Luft (Brazil), Diamela Eltit (Chile), Cristina Rivera Garza (Mexico), Laura Restrepo (Colombia) and Irene Vilar (Puerto Rico). Close reading of these works reveals a pattern of literary techniques--a "poetics of madness"--employed by the writers to represent conditions that defy language, make sociopolitical crises tangible and register cultural perceptions of mental illness through literature.
