Book excerpt: En la antigüedad existieron mundos distintos a los que conocemos, pero en uno en especial, Anthemia, había tres seres puros los cuales comenzaron a perfeccionarse provocando que poco a poco esa perfección fuera su destrucción, dándose rivalidades entre ellos provocando la destrucción de su mundo. Doce ángeles caídos al traicionar su ciudad comenzaron a tratar de solucionar el caos provocado, llegando a la tierra en búsqueda de un nuevo comienzo. Mientras uno de los hermanos logra salvar la mayor parte de todos los tesoros de la ciudad mandándolos al planeta tierra, dándose cuenta de la existencia de varios mundos y dimensiones.

Download or read book Drugs Thugs and Diplomats written by Winifred Tate and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2015-06-10 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2000, the U.S. passed a major aid package that was going to help Colombia do it all: cut drug trafficking, defeat leftist guerrillas, support peace, and build democracy. More than 80% of the assistance, however, was military aid, at a time when the Colombian security forces were linked to abusive, drug-trafficking paramilitary forces. Drugs, Thugs, and Diplomats examines the U.S. policymaking process in the design, implementation, and consequences of Plan Colombia, as the aid package came to be known. Winifred Tate explores the rhetoric and practice of foreign policy by the U.S. State Department, the Pentagon, Congress, and the U.S. military Southern Command. Tate's ethnography uncovers how policymakers' utopian visions and emotional entanglements play a profound role in their efforts to orchestrate and impose social transformation abroad. She argues that U.S. officials' zero tolerance for illegal drugs provided the ideological architecture for the subsequent militarization of domestic drug policy abroad. The U.S. also ignored Colombian state complicity with paramilitary brutality, presenting them as evidence of an absent state and the authentic expression of a frustrated middle class. For rural residents of Colombia living under paramilitary dominion, these denials circulated as a form of state terror. Tate's analysis examines how oppositional activists and the policy's targets—civilians and local state officials in southern Colombia—attempted to shape aid design and delivery, revealing the process and effects of human rights policymaking.

Book excerpt: La vergenza est considerada como el sentimiento ms insoportable de todos. La vergenza duele tanto que hacemos todo lo posible por quitar de nuestro interior el dolor que produce y para asegurarnos de que nadie ms sepa que la padecemos.

Al final de cada captulo hay preguntas de reflexin para ayudarte a digerir lo que has ledo. Las preguntas tambin son aptas para el estudio en grupo.

Download or read book Todos mis padres Saga completa written by Daniel Arias and published by Guid Publicaciones. This book was released on 2019-07-21 with total page 1338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Todos mis padres’ es una saga que relata los amores de la esclava fugitiva Akukéiohn y el aventurero adolescente Rómulo Vilches. Akukéiohn y Rómulo son dos parias que intentan hacer una familia y criar un hijo en medio de la fiebre del oro de Tierra del Fuego, allá por 1886, en la Argentina. Todos mis padres es una novela repleta de otras novelas, algunas casi independientes. Los devenires de Akukéiohn, RómuloVilches y su hijo (y de todos los padres de ese hijo) desaparecen y reaparecen en la proliferación de historias de predicadores, guerreros, gauchos, oligarcas, revolucionarios, chamanes, hampones y médicos. La saga exige un lector que se someta a perderse en el laberinto, llevado a tumbos de la mano de un narrador experto, a cambio de la promesa de un final donde todas las piezas se reencuentren con una precisión de relojería. Esa esperanza, asombrosamente, se cumple. Lector, bienvenido a una maquinaria narrativa como ya no se hacen.

Download or read book A Traves de La Ventana de Sus Ojos written by Isabel Rosado Casta O. and published by Palibrio. This book was released on 2011-12 with total page 495 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La prorrogación a la obediencia ha hecho que el mundo viva sumergido en una ola vertiginosa de engaños. Por desobediencia, sobre la tierra, se han levantado guerras, tumultos y destrucción; cuyo suelo grita de dolor y tiembla de espanto porque la vanidad la está destruyendo. Por consecuencia humana, la tierra está inficionada de maldad; el océano se ha salido de sus márgenes arropando la tierra, cuyas olas entran por toda la zona terrestre; pidiendo cuenta, la naturaleza azota la tierra con furor, extrayendo la profanación que está incrustada en su suelo. No obstante, desde el cielo, un ángel se encuentra observando a través de la ventana que da al mundo, la cual por impetuosidad, descorre la cortina del cielo, presenciando al mundo ahogarse en una ola de desastre; como acto de benevolencia, decide liberar a la humanidad del sufrimiento. Al recibir el ángel el permiso de descender a la tierra y cumplir su misión de amor, es preparada por Moisés (su guía y mentor), a través de sus enseñanzas, aprende como viven los terrestres, sus vicios, amores y secretos... y cuando baja arregla la vida de éstas personas, dejándoles, a su retorno al Cielo, el camino que necesitan seguir para encontrar la felicidad.
