Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "En un mundo lleno de incertidumbre y desafíos, el estoicismo se presenta como una brújula que nos redirige hacia la serenidad, la fortaleza y la sabiduría interiores, al tiempo que nos ayuda a aceptar aquello que no podemos controlar y a enfocar la energía en lo que sí está en nuestras manos: nuestras actitudes, acciones y valores para superarnos y transformarnos en nuestra mejor versión hoy. Este manual, una guía práctica de desarrollo personal que utiliza los principios estoicos para mejorar la vida cotidiana, nos invita a dialogar con grandes filósofos del estoicismo, así como con aquellos que, sin ser estoicos, han dejado su huella en la filosofía influidos por esta escuela de pensamiento. Séneca, Marco Aurelio, Cicerón, Quevedo, Michel de Montaigne, Erasmo de Róterdam, cada uno de estos personajes, más que filósofos encerrados en sus cavilaciones, fueron actores significativos en la vida pública de su tiempo, hallando la manera de dar sentido a su existencia y sus actuaciones en medio de la tumultuosa realidad. Su ejemplo es nuestro camino."--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Esta es la historia de una gran mentira entre los miembros de una familia de clase media: los Daniels. El rumbo de sus vidas cambia drásticamente a causa de un matrimonio y el nacimiento de un hijo. La dependencia al alcohol de los Daniels, la malsana influencia de los Powell y el fracaso espiritual de un sacerdote, derrumba la frágil estructura que sostiene a nuestros personajes que caen atrapados en una telaraña de intriga entretejida con deslealtad, venganza y lujuria. Abrumados por el devastador resultado de sus propios actos, no comprenden sino hasta muy tarde, que han sido ellos mismos las únicas víctimas, por querer controlar el destino de otros con el único propósito de satisfacer sus malsanas intenciones. Por estar reducidos a vivir en perenne turbiedad no sospechan que la reconciliación y redención interna estuvieron esperando desde un principio y sin sospecharlo detrás del amor.
Download or read book Abuela's Letter written by Debbie Zapata and published by American Psychological Association. This book was released on 2024-10-15 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abuela’s Letter is a beautiful story that addresses loss and grief within a Latin family where a young girl is challenged by the death of her grandmother and discovers letter-writing as a way to cope and connect with her loved one's passing. Alma’s favorite days are when her big family gathers at Abuela’s house. Tíos take siestas while tías tell their stories, and primos play dominoes while Abuela stirs the frijoles. Always at the center is the love of Abuela! Alma’s beloved grandmother and her number one fan! When Abuela dies, all of this is suddenly gone. Alma is filled with sadness and grief, until she finds a letter that Abuela left for her. Could Abuela’s words be what fills her heart again with love and sweet memories? This thoughtful story captures the concept of “familismo” beautifully ― a Latin cultural value that involves dedication, commitment, and loyalty to family. Regularly spending time with one's immediate and extended family is part of familismo, as well as seeking the family's advice and support for important decisions and life transitions, such grief and loss. Includes a note to readers in English and Spanish with coping strategies essential to Latino and Hispanic families about grief and loss of a loved one, as well as additional ways to support children and honor the life and memory of beloved family members.

Three days. What could go wrong? She is not like the others…Charlene Beckett, the unacknowledged daughter of an earl and a courtesan, has just been offered a life-altering fortune to pose as her half-sister, Lady Dorothea, and win the duke’s proposal. All she must do is: * Be the perfect English rose [Ha!] * Breathe, smile, and curtsy in impossibly tight gowns [blast Lady Dorothea’s sylph-like figure] * Charm and seduce a wild duke [without appearing to try] * Keep said duke far, far from her heart [no matter how tempting] When secrets are revealed and passion overwhelms, James must decide if the last lady he should want is really everything he needs. And Charlene must decide if the promise of a new life is worth risking everything . . . including her heart.

Book Synopsis Narratives of Resistance by : Ana María Manzanas Calvo
Download or read book Narratives of Resistance written by Ana María Manzanas Calvo and published by Univ de Castilla La Mancha. This book was released on 1999 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The articles included in this collection cover a wide range of literatures and topics, but most of them address the ways in which ethnic writers create themselves in opposition and resistance to the mainstream. These narratives of opposition and resistance do not equate protest narratives but represent a consciously subversive effort. There is agency and creativity in the confrontation, for the majority of the these narratives are not only demystifying an old world and order but creating a new one; there narratives are not reproducing as much as producing and forging culture and literature. The articles we presente resist not only the politics of traditional canon formation but the politics of cultural nationalism as well; they challenge the margins as well as the center. With this revisionist agenda, the aim or this collection is to invite readers to further their rethinking of American and Caribbean literatures.
Book Synopsis Retrato de un hombre libre by : Agustín García Simón
Download or read book Retrato de un hombre libre written by Agustín García Simón and published by Editorial Renacimiento. This book was released on 2013-01-14 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La tradición cultural que alimentó a los grandes maestros en las aulas de institutos y universidades españolas se ha ido extinguiendo en los últimos años, como acervo incompatible con una sociedad que niega o, simplemente, ignora la entrega callada y sabia de los viejos profesores. El ruido mediático, la velocidad y vértigo de nuestro tiempo, han arrumbado vidas y trayectorias dedicadas por vocación y pasión al saber y su transmisión, como concepto inseparable del conocimiento, la ética y el civismo. Hay que retroceder a las postrimerías del siglo pasado para encontrar los últimos eslabones sueltos de lo que antaño fue una cadena brillante y sólida de pedagogía humanística y crítica, que unía sabiduría y vida como ejemplo y método de enseñanza. Es el caso de don Santiago de los Mozos, catedrático de las universidades de Granada y Valladolid en la segunda mitad del siglo XX, protagonista de este Retrato de un hombre libre; retrato intelectual, en efecto, de uno de los maestros españoles más desconocidos y, a la vez, más fascinantes del espectro universitario español contemporáneo. Su porte institucionista, aunque nunca pasó por la Institución Libre de Enseñanza, su temple maireniano, su ideario ilustrado que expresaba una inteligencia excepcional y un don de la palabra que le hicieron justamente célebre en su medio, van revelándose en esta obra a través de un agudo diálogo entre el autor y el maestro, hasta conformar un atractivo ensayo, intenso y apasionado, sobre la historia y cultura españolas en sus claves más importantes, y en sus demonios característicos y redivivos. Un retrato espléndido que desprende por doquier la natural grandeza del maestro, cuya lección ilumina con finísima ironía la España democrática que va de la Transición al año 2000. Agustín García Simón (Montemayor –Valladolid–, 1953). Editor, escritor y periodista, ha dedicado su vida profesional a la cultura del libro, aunque sigue atento a la actualidad en sus colaboraciones en distintos medios periodísticos. En los últimos treinta años ha dirigido la edición de cientos de libros, seis de los cuales han merecido premios nacionales a los libros mejor editados. Su inclinación por la historia y el humanismo le han llevado a una exigente labor editorial en la que han primado los temas y figuras más abiertos y universales de la cultura y lengua españolas de naturaleza castellana. Entre sus grandes obras como editor destacan: Historia de una Cultura (4 vols.), 1995-1996; Historia de la Ciencia y de la Técnica en la Corona de Castilla (4 vols.), 2002; o la recuperación histórica de los Viajes de extranjeros por España y Portugal (6 vols.), 1999, de don José García Mercadal. Ha publicado ensayos sobre viajes y viajeros extranjeros por España, pero como autor es conocido, fundamentalmente, por el libro que dedicó al retiro del emperador Carlos V: El ocaso del emperador. Carlos V en Yuste (1995). Como narrador se dio a conocer con una singular novela: Valcarlos (Premio Miguel Delibes de narrativa, 2005); y, sobre todo, con los doce relatos que reunió en su última obra: Cuando leas esta carta, yo habré muerto (2009).
Book Synopsis La historia de Afanoso Rodrigues by : Reinaldo Edmundo Marchant
Download or read book La historia de Afanoso Rodrigues written by Reinaldo Edmundo Marchant and published by Mago Editores. This book was released on 2017 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En sus relatos, los cracks provienen de suburbios. Traen la rebeldía, el talento y la irreverencia a flor de pies. Son náufragos aferrados desesperadamente a un balón milagroso que hará estallar de alegría a estadios colmados de hinchas para quedar en la memoria colectiva. La pelota y sus circunstancias se plasman con agilidad, lucidez y de un seductor encanto que, con brochazos precisos, retratan la intimidad del hombre en una cancha. Cuentos inolvidables como «Lamento por Manuel Araya», «Crónica del enano bueno para la pelota» o «La diosa del Bambino de Oro», generan un encuentro del lector con esas historias sagazmente contadas, que contienen el camino donde las alegrías y adversidades son una tentativa común.
Book Synopsis The Shadow of Vesuvius: A Life of Pliny by : Daisy Dunn
Download or read book The Shadow of Vesuvius: A Life of Pliny written by Daisy Dunn and published by Liveright Publishing. This book was released on 2019-12-10 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A wonderfully rich, witty, insightful, and wide-ranging portrait of the two Plinys and their world.”—Sarah Bakewell, author of How to Live When Pliny the Elder perished at Stabiae during the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD, he left behind an enormous compendium of knowledge, his thirty-seven-volume Natural History, and a teenaged nephew who revered him as a father. Grieving his loss, Pliny the Younger inherited the Elder’s notebooks—filled with pearls of wisdom—and his legacy. At its heart, The Shadow of Vesuvius is a literary biography of the younger man, who would grow up to become a lawyer, senator, poet, collector of villas, and chronicler of the Roman Empire from the dire days of terror under Emperor Domitian to the gentler times of Emperor Trajan. A biography that will appeal to lovers of Mary Beard books, it is also a moving narrative about the profound influence of a father figure on his adopted son. Interweaving the younger Pliny’s Letters with extracts from the Elder’s Natural History, Daisy Dunn paints a vivid, compellingly readable portrait of two of antiquity’s greatest minds.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This timely practical reference addresses the lack of Spanish-language resources for mental health professionals to use with their Latino clients. Geared toward both English- and Spanish-speaking practitioners in a variety of settings, this volume is designed to minimize misunderstandings between the clinician and client, and with that the possibility of inaccurate diagnosis and/or ineffective treatment. Coverage for each topic features a discussion of cultural considerations, guidelines for evidence-based best practices, a review of available findings, a treatment plan, plus clinical tools and client handouts, homework sheets, worksheets, and other materials. Chapters span a wide range of disorders and problems over the life-course, and include reproducible resources for: Assessing for race-based trauma. Using behavioral activation and cognitive interventions to treat depression among Latinos. Treating aggression, substance use, abuse, and dependence among Latino Adults. Treating behavioral problems among Latino adolescents. Treating anxiety among Latino children. Working with Latino couples. Restoring legal competency with Latinos. The Toolkit for Counseling Spanish-Speaking Clients fills a glaring need in behavioral service delivery, offering health psychologists, social workers, clinical psychologists, neuropsychologists, and other helping professionals culturally-relevant support for working with this under served population. The materials included here are an important step toward dismantling barriers to mental health care.
