Book excerpt: The Big Chill meets The Group in Deborah Copaken Kogan's wry, lively, and irresistible new novel about a once-close circle of friends at their twentieth college reunion. Clover, Addison, Mia, and Jane were roommates at Harvard until their graduation in 1989. Clover, homeschooled on a commune by mixed-race parents, felt woefully out of place. Addison yearned to shed the burden of her Mayflower heritage. Mia mined the depths of her suburban ennui to enact brilliant performances on the Harvard stage. Jane, an adopted Vietnamese war orphan, made sense of her fractured world through words. Twenty years later, their lives are in free fall. Clover, once a securities broker with Lehman, is out of a job and struggling to reproduce before her fertility window slams shut. Addison's marriage to a writer's-blocked novelist is as stale as her so-called career as a painter. Hollywood shut its gold-plated gates to Mia, who now stays home with her four children, renovating and acquiring faster than her director husband can pay the bills. Jane, the Paris bureau chief for a newspaper whose foreign bureaus are now shuttered, is caught in a vortex of loss. Like all Harvard grads, they've kept abreast of one another via the red book, a class report published every five years, containing brief autobiographical essays by fellow alumni. But there's the story we tell the world, and then there's the real story, as these former classmates will learn during their twentieth reunion weekend, when they arrive with their families, their histories, their dashed dreams, and their secret yearnings to a relationship-changing, score-settling, unforgettable weekend.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mi ayer, al que me referiré en este libro, es 1947, año en el que me gradué. En ese entonces, ser médico significaba haber adquirido los conocimientos teóricos en la facultad y los prácticos en los hospitales. El conocimiento médico avanzaba de a pie y con paso de paseo. Los médicos podían ser clínicos y cirujanos, y abarcar varias especialidades. Ser médico hoy es muy diferente. A la responsabilidad ética de antaño hacia la propia conciencia, se ha sumado la responsabilidad legal respecto de pacientes muchas veces hostiles y estimulados por abogados poco escrupulosos. Mañana (un mañana que ya es hoy) se le añadirá todavía la responsabilidad económica, exigida por quienes gerencian los sistemas de salud. Así, cualquier clínico, además de enfrentar problemas activos de un paciente concreto, deberá enfrentar –ya lo hace hoy–problemas probabilísticos. Ayer, hoy y mañana no son sólo cambios cronológicos, sino también variaciones de pautas culturales. Sabemos que no podemos detener el tiempo; aun así, podemos defender de la erosión las pautas culturales que creemos dignas. Hasta hace algunas décadas, el médico vivía la pauta cultural de la entrega generosa y la sabiduría, que hoy debe cambiar por la de la efectividad y la eficiencia. El esfuerzo debe apuntar, entonces, a conciliar ambas culturas; el desafío es cómo hacerlo. Alberto Agrest Sus escritos, que deberían ser de lectura obligada para quienes se dedican a la medicina y más aún para las nuevas generaciones que planean hacerlo, lo han convertido ya en un clásico de la reflexión sobre el destino de la medicina contemporánea.

I am not going to try to describe what to me is truth, for that would be an impossible attempt. One cannot describe or give to another the fullness of an experience. Each one must live it for himself."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Esta historia ocurrió en el paso de rio lindo, comunidad de los Manantiales del Norte, un pintoresco pueblo al que todos llamaban el pueblo rojo, porque al no tener asfaltadas las calles y por ser de tierra fértil muy roja, el continuo paso de los caballos que empujaban las carretas de los campesinos y los carros de los mas adinerados del pueblo tintaba el aire de rojo. Los residentes de los pueblos cercanos creían que era un pueblo fantasma porque los ancianoss contaban historias de espanto y decían que lo rojo del aire era la sangre de las almas en pena que quedaron deambulando por no haber sido admitidos en el cielo cuando pasaron a mejor vida. Transcurrió en un lapso de tiempo donde todo escaseaba: El trabajo, el dinero, la comida, pero según Astacio y Justina lo que mas dolía era la falta de conciencia, la falta de amor y la doble vida que llevaban los mas adinerados del pueblo, quienes por sus infidelidades y machismo hacían infelices a sus esposas, estas se acostumbraban a la vida que todas decían era perfecta por el simple hecho de que en esos tiempos ser Señora era un asunto de estatus y de clase social y las mujeres no tenían derecho a reclamar, era solo tolerar y callar. Aconteció en su mayor parte en pueblo rojo, en el mercado, donde el Loco trabajaba pelando pollos, y la perra su fiel amiga permanecía a su lado siempre. Allí las criadas iban a comprar la despensa y también a cuchichear sobre las penas de sus Doñas quienes en sus lujosas mansiones vivían encarceladas y a mano de los Señores eran víctimas de los mas grandes desamores. Ninguna de las Doñas del pueblo se atrevía a ir al mercado, pero Doña Angelina la patrona de Justina, si porque al escuchar la historia del Loco y la perra se le hablando el corazón y allí fue a parar a contemplar el mas grande y puro amor entre un Loco y una perra algo simple y sencillamente fuera de este Mundo. Durante algún momento en la historia descubrimos que la razón principal que daba fuerzas a la gran mayoría de los personajes era el amor, porque cada uno tenía su propia idea de los retos que debían vencer para vivirlo y de los sacrificios a los que tenían que someterse para defender ese amor. Esta historia es a su vez una forma metafórica de describir el amor puro, ese que ya no existe en tiempos modernos. Acá se describen diferentes etapas de la vida de una mujer y vemos como Doña Angelina logró hacer de una experiencia negativa una historia de fuerza y superación que le cambio la vida no solo a ella, al Loco y a Justina, sino también a todos en el pueblo. En una parte de la historia se toca el delicado tema de las situaciones humillantes y los maltratos a los que han sido sometidas las mujeres en diferentes tiempos, ya sea por costumbres, por chismes, por reglas absurdas de la Sociedad o de sus familias. Esta historia trata de ser voz para todas aquellas mujeres que víctimas del abuso o violencia de genero se acostumbran a esta forma de vida por muchas razones: quizás por temor a empezar de nuevo, por temor al que dirán, o por falta de apoyo moral y se niegan la posibilidad de vivir libres de infidelidades y mentiras. A medida que se va desarrollando la historia conoceremos cada personaje, la influencia de cada uno en la vida de todos y la experiencia de caminar el trayecto del pasado hacia el colorido horizonte de la vida actual para dejar de vivir una vida entre el ayer y el hoy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Las rimas de Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer, así como su obra en prosa, ponen de relieve la polaridad, la contradicción, el continuo vaivén de la esperanza y la desilusión. La estructura de sus poemas responde, en la medida de su lógica interna (sí/pero no), a la misma ley de contradicción que existe en los estratos profundos del espíritu. El problema de la vida y el amor se plantea y se une con su visión del mundo. La vida, o la experiencia, puede ser bella o fea, buena o mala. Toda experiencia abre una última dualidad insuperable, que desgarra la unidad de la existencia. En su coyuntura interna, lo uno anula lo otro; un mismo objeto o sentimiento puede ser motivo de entusiasta afirmación y al mismo tiempo de apasionada negación. Su poesía es delirio alegre o reconcentrado dolor; el ritmo psicológico oscila entre impulsos contrarios. La acumulación de las antítesis profundiza los estados internos. El alma se debate entre opuestos: la razón y la pasión; la alegría y el dolor; la esperanza y la desesperanza.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cultural modernity has habitually been defined as a focus on the means of representation themselves, as opposed to art that imitates external reality or expresses its maker's inner life. The crucial moment is usually considered the emergence of Edouard Manet in mid-nineteenth-century France, and the features of French developments have been seen as defining terms in the theory of modernity. However, recent art and cultural history have often spoken of plural modernities, distinct from the pattern set in France. For the first time, this study in cultural history explores how Spanish culture took a radical turn toward the medium of representation itself in the 1850s and early 1860s. It argues that this happened in a way that is critically at odds with many fundamental theoretical suppositions about modernity.

Kendall believes it is possible to abuse this anointing - and become yesterday's man or woman. This happens by trying to move outside our calling and capabilities, for example, or even through impatience. Drawing on the Bible, especially the lives of Saul, Samuel and David, as well as on his own experience, R. T. helps us to identify our current usefulness and urges us to seek a fresh anointing of the Holy Spirit each day.

Book excerpt: Spanish-speaking patients are no rarity in United States hospitals and clinics, as many English-speaking health care providers have discovered. To help these providers better communicate with the patients they serve, Ana Malinow Rajkovic has prepared the Manual for (Relatively) Painless Medical Spanish, a lively and innovative self-teaching guide to the grammar, pronunciation, and medical vocabulary of Spanish. Presented in a systematic and highly entertaining fashion, twelve lessons cover some of the most commonly encountered situations. These include the family clinic, the emergency room, appendicitis, the social chat, pregnancy, family planning, pelvic inflammatory disease and urinary tract infection, depression, children with asthma, patients with angina, explaining a venipuncture and a spinal tap, and patients with shortness of breath. Each lesson closes with a bilingual interview that includes vocabulary and grammar introduced in that lesson. A guide to the medical history and physical examination appears in English and Spanish in the appendix. Excellent in the classroom or for independent learning, the Manual will enable health care providers better to understand and supply the needs of Spanish-speaking patients.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imagined Truths provides a twenty-first-century analysis of stylistic and philosophical manifestations of nineteenth- and twentieth-century Spanish literary realism. Bringing together the work of the foremost specialists in the field of contemporary Spanish letters, this collection offers new approaches to literary and cultural criticism and reveals how Spanish realism, far from imitative of other European movements, engaged in complex and modern concepts of representation and mimesis. Imagined Truths acknowledges the critical importance of women writers and contemporary approaches to questions of gender. The essays address the impact of economics on our perceptions of reality and our constructions of everyday life, and they argue for the importance of emotions in the social construction of individual identity. Most importantly, the essays acknowledge the post-imperial turn in literary studies. Addressing a broad range of authors, works, and topics, including the continued relevance of Cervantes's Don Quijote and the way Spanish realism moved beyond narrative to inhabit the spaces of both theatre and film, Imagined Truths comprises a series of meditations on new ways of understanding the unique place of realism in Spanish cultural history. Offering insights for specialists in a wide range of disciplines - literature, cultural studies, gender studies, history, philosophy - this collection is equally important for readers just becoming acquainted with realist narrative as a central component of Spanish literary history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is tango? Dance, music, and lyrics of course, but also a philosophy, a strategy, a commodity, even a disease. This book explores the politics of tango, tracing tango's travels from the brothels of Buenos Aires to the cabarets of Paris and the shako dansu clubs of Tokyo. The author is an Argentinean political theorist and a dance professor at the University of California at Riverside. She uses her ?tango tongue? to tell interwoven tales of sexuality, gender, race, class, and national identity. Along the way she unravels relations between machismo and colonialism, postmodernism and patriarchy, exoticism and commodification. In the end she arrives at a discourse on decolonization as intellectual ?unlearning.?Marta Savigliano's voice is highly personal and political. Her account is at once about the exoticization of tango and about her own fate as a Third World woman intellectual. A few sentences from the preface are indicative: ?Tango is my womb and my tongue, a trench where I can shelter and resist the colonial invitations to '`'universalism,'? a stubborn fatalist mood when technocrats and theorists offer optimistic and seriously revised versions of '`'alternatives' for the Third World, an opportunistic metaphor to talk about myself and my stories as a success' of the civilization-development-colonization of Am ca Latina, and a strategy to figure out through the history of the tango a hooked-up story of people like myself. Tango is my changing, resourceful source of identity. And because I am where I am?outside?tango hurts and comforts me: '`'Tango is a sad thought that can be danced.'?Savigliano employs the tools of ethnography, history, body-movement analysis, and political economy. Well illustrated with drawings and photos dating back to the 1880s, this book is highly readable, entertaining, and provocative. It is sure to be recognized as an important contribution in the fields of cultural studies, performance studies, decolonization, and women-of-color feminism.
