Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Esta historia, está llena de duros y desgraciados acontecimientos, pero también, es una historia llena de dulzura, felicidad y sosiego, de acuerdo con los tiempos, que en cada momento acontecían; creo que es una historia donde el lector puede sentirse reconfortado, feliz y hasta identificado en muchos de los puntos de vista. Son muchas las cosas que han ocurrido, en este y otros países, que la gente se ha olvidado; si todos y cada uno de nosotros, echáramos de vez en cuando la vista atrás para recordar, quienes fueron nuestros ancestros. De donde procedemos y de quien. Como fuimos. Como somos y en qué nos hemos convertido; podéis tener la seguridad, de que todos y cada uno de nosotros, seríamos mucho más ricos en valores humanos; valores estos de los cuales cada día carecemos más. La historia de los pueblos y la propia de cada uno de nosotros, es el legado más valioso, que el ser humano puede tener.

This book was released on 2020-09-09 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ¿Serías capaz de guardar un secreto? ¿Qué harías si te dijera que la realidad que ves no es más que una simulación creada por seres superiores? ¿Qué si te explicara que ni siquiera existe «la realidad», sino un conjunto de ellas que se entrecruzan y superponen entre sí? Este es el trasfondo de El lugar donde los equilibristas descansan, de Frank Hidalgo-Gato Durán, quien nos regala una trepidante aventura que atraviesa universos, épocas y los cuerpos de un puñado de personajes inolvidables. Björn, Kim, Joshua y Roxanne, entre otros, serán sometidos por los arcontes a duras pruebas físicas y psicológicas en su formación como equilibristas de realidades. A partir de sus propias voces nos convertiremos en testigos de futuras y cruentas guerras contra especies alienígenas, de mundos estremecedoramente cercanos y regidos por el ciberespacio y la virtualidad o de la inevitable caída de sistemas globales carcomidos por el abuso de poder. En estos devastadores escenarios lo único que parecería mantener unidas las piezas es la incansable búsqueda del amor y a ellos mismos dentro de la infinidad de realidades que existen.

Download or read book Memorias Del Sanatorio written by Héctor Vallés and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2005-09-15 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story that unfolds in Memorias del Sanatorio has its beginnings in the mental vortex that engulfs Arnaldo Morales after the suicide of his father. There is no possible resurrection after that fact,and our main character is hospitalized in a quirky mental sanatorioum in Spain, where the sons and daughters of well to do in Latin American families, as well as of the Spanish bourgeois, are hospitalized with the hope of some miraculous cure of their mental illness from which they will continue to suffer in the clinic, year after year, in the hallways and the rooms of the Esquerdo The characters that inhabit these halls of the asylum are markedly interesting in their contorted psychologies, in their delusional systems, in the inventions of the imaginations that lead them somewhere that they do not remotely expect: the end of their shadows past the gray walls, the corridors they follow going nowhere through the center of the despair of their schizophrenias: the end of their delusions that do not provide with a way out. The writer has gotten his material for the novel from his own experience as he walked these corridors, and the streets that appear in the narrative; and of course from the experience of mental illness. One more important aspect of the narrative: The narrator find himself in the streets of Miami Beach throughout the novel, from where he recollects the thirty years past when the remembrances from the sanatorium took place. The world is going to end, like it happens in the end of every millennium, and a new imperator comes to MB to witnesses the executions of the insane.

Download or read book Per el afortunado written by Henrik Pontoppidan and published by Ediciones de la Torre. This book was released on 2008-06 with total page 954 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Escrita a caballo entre el siglo XIX y el siglo XX, nos sumerge de lleno en la crisis cultural y social que sacude al continente con la irrupción de la modernidad y que no es sino un preámbulo de la crisis de identidad del hombre actual. Por la maestría en la disección de toda una época, la novela de Pontoppidan es sólo comparable a las del alemán Thomas Mann, pero la complejidad de sus personajes y la furia con que se debaten contra su destino la emparentan sobre todo con la obra de Dostoievski, el gran novelista ruso.

Download or read book The Long Lives of Medieval Art and Architecture written by Jennifer M. Feltman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-03-08 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditional histories of medieval art and architecture often privilege the moment of a work’s creation, yet surviving works designated as "medieval" have long and expansive lives. Many have extended prehistories emerging from their sites and contexts of creation, and most have undergone a variety of interventions, including adaptations and restorations, since coming into being. The lives of these works have been further extended through historiography, museum exhibitions, and digital media. Inspired by the literary category of biography and the methods of longue durée historians, the introduction and seventeen chapters of this volume provide an extended meditation on the longevity of medieval works of art and the aspect of time as a factor in shaping our interpretations of them. While the metaphor of "lives" invokes associations with the origin of the discipline of art history, focus is shifted away from temporal constraints of a single human lifespan or generation to consider the continued lives of medieval works even into our present moment. Chapters on works from the modern countries of Italy, France, England, Spain, and Germany are drawn together here by the thematic threads of essence and continuity, transformation, memory and oblivion, and restoration. Together, they tell an object-oriented history of art and architecture that is necessarily entangled with numerous individuals and institutions.

This book was released on 2021-04-29 with total page 543 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Los equilibristas de realidades han regresado para su última aventura y esta vez no existen las fronteras, porque su playground es el cosmos infinito. Los equilibristas de realidades han regresado para su última aventura y esta vez no existen las fronteras, porque su playground es el cosmos infinito. Un castillo en lo alto de un acantilado que funciona como hospital psiquiátrico; el planeta Piersus con su atmósfera rojiza y su núcleo de almas ancestrales, o una base militar subterránea en territorio estadounidense serán los escenarios porlos que transitaremos en esta ocasión. La sed de venganza de Joshua contra Kim y Björn, y su ambición por convertirse en una Luz Divina podría desencadenar un desastre de proporciones astronómicas. Es el inevitable momento de conformar alianzas para sobrevivir. Un hijo arrebatado de los brazos de sus padres, un aprendiz que asesina a su propio maestro, el mayor sacrificio que se haría por amor, la epifanía de saberse las últimas inteligencias de una galaxia moribunda. Contrario a todo pronóstico, Frank Hidalgo-GatoDurán lo vuelve a hacer: nuestras mentes explotarán una vez más, como lo hace una realidad alternativa aniquilada por equilibristaseficientes.

Download or read book Approximation Theory written by Ole Christensen and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2004-03-18 with total page 1080 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This concisely written book gives an elementary introduction to a classical area of mathematics—approximation theory—in a way that naturally leads to the modern field of wavelets. The exposition, driven by ideas rather than technical details and proofs, demonstrates the dynamic nature of mathematics and the influence of classical disciplines on many areas of modern mathematics and applications. Key features and topics: * Description of wavelets in words rather than mathematical symbols * Elementary introduction to approximation using polynomials (Weierstrass’ and Taylor’s theorems) * Introduction to infinite series, with emphasis on approximation-theoretic aspects * Introduction to Fourier analysis * Numerous classical, illustrative examples and constructions * Discussion of the role of wavelets in digital signal processing and data compression, such as the FBI’s use of wavelets to store fingerprints * Minimal prerequisites: elementary calculus * Exercises that may be used in undergraduate and graduate courses on infinite series and Fourier series Approximation Theory: From Taylor Polynomials to Wavelets will be an excellent textbook or self-study reference for students and instructors in pure and applied mathematics, mathematical physics, and engineering. Readers will find motivation and background material pointing toward advanced literature and research topics in pure and applied harmonic analysis and related areas.
