Book excerpt: Roberto entra al consumo de las drogas de la forma en que TODOS lo hacen; "Gradualmente", no se trata de una narración de hechos externos solamente, Roberto narra sus experiencias psíquicas, emocionales y sobre todo espirituales, en un drama de prostitución, homicidio, narcotráfico, corrupción, alcoholismo, drogadicción y espiritualidad. El alimento a sus apetitos perversos son satisfechos a su antojo pero, el espíritu también reclama su alimento que lo encuentra al alcance de su respiración, solo que al inhalarlo lo exhala rápidamente, los fantasmas de su mente nacieron en su infancia traumatizada por el abuso sexual, el alcoholismo de su padre y la drogadicción de sus hermanos mayores. La miseria interna es mezclada con la divinidad de su espíritu llevando en sus poros la lucha eterna del amor y el odio, la paz y la guerra, la muerte y la vida, la condena y la emancipación. La novela es narrada con lenguaje cotidiano e intencionalmente prosaico tocando la vulgaridad para remontar en la belleza de la descripción subjetiva y refinada para el disfrute de la lectura. En ningún momento es tediosa o predecible, contrario a esto va de un drama catastrófico familiar hasta llegar al culmen de la perversión individual en un intenso desarrollo existencial. Su vida se desarrolla en la ciudad de México encontrando su desenlace en un país tan lleno de paradojas sin sentido y que irónicamente es ahí donde el final se desarrolla. Los hijos de Dios... no es una novela religiosa, tampoco es una novela de superación personal, es una novela de realidad subjetiva vista desde un mexicano Drogadicto. A pesar de ello no deja de ser una historia ficticia mezclada con elementos reales, aunque los escépticos pueden muy bien leerla tendrán que responder a muchas preguntas que surgirán en su mente en el transcurso de la lectura. Por lo tanto la novela no busca dar solución a problemas existenciales, plasma los problemas existenciales más comunes para provocar empatía y analizar las alternativas de clarificación so pretexto de las adicciones. La motivación surgió después de muchos años de escuchar historias de adictos y, que a pesar de la diversidad de experiencias y que muchas de ellas son sorprendentes, todos ellos tienen algo en común: "El adicto usa droga por que busca algo", los adictos son buscadores y muchos de ellos se pierden en esa búsqueda. Su búsqueda no se centra en cosas tangibles, como posesiones económicas o materiales a pesar de las apariencias, su deseo de encontrar va mas allá de lo físico, por eso la mayoría de los drogos son metafísicos, su atención se detiene en lo misterioso, en la subjetividad y sobre todo en lo espiritual. Lo más curioso es que cada adicto encuentra su propio camino de búsqueda, los expertos opinan que la puerta de entrada al universo de las drogas inicia casualmente con el uso de una droga legal para terminar con las ilegales, sin embargo; se observa que hay un comportamiento previo a esto, conducta dirigida a la obtención del placer proporcionado por los instintos en el cuál el mas destacable es el sexual, cosa que no es de sorprenderse porque el efecto de cualquier droga es orgiástica...y es así querido lector que esta obra esta impregnada de erotismo pero descrita desde el interior del protagonista sin acudir a la descripción literal.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the late fifteenth to the nineteenth centuries, the Hispanic Monarchy was one of the largest and most diverse political communities known in history. At its apogee, it stretched from the Castilian plateau to the high peaks of the Andes; from the cosmopolitan cities of Seville, Naples, or Mexico City to Santa Fe and San Francisco; from Brussels to Buenos Aires and from Milan to Manila. During those centuries, Spain left its imprint across vast continents and distant oceans contributing in no minor way to the emergence of our globalised era. This was true not only in an economic sense-the Hispano-American silver peso transported across the Atlantic and the Pacific by the Spanish fleets was arguably the first global currency, thus facilitating the creation of a world economic system-but intellectually and artistically as well. The most extraordinary cultural exchanges took place in practically every corner of the Hispanic world, no matter how distant from the metropolis. At various times a descendant of the Aztec nobility was translating a Baroque play into Nahuatl to the delight of an Amerindian and mixed audience in the market of Tlatelolco; an Andalusian Dominican priest was writing the first Western grammar of the Chinese language in Fuzhou, a Chinese city that enjoyed a trade monopoly with the Spanish Philippines; a Franciscan friar was composing a piece of polyphonic music with lyrics in Quechua to be played in a church decorated with Moorish-style ceilings in a Peruvian valley; or a multi-ethnic team of Amerindian and Spanish naturalists was describing in Latin, Spanish and local vernacular languages thousands of medicinal plants, animals and minerals previously unknown to the West. And, most probably, at the same time that one of those exchanges were happening, the members of the School of Salamanca were laying the foundations of modern international law or formulating some of the first modern theories of price, value and money, Cervantes was writing Don Quixote, Velázquez was painting Las Meninas, or Goya was exposing both the dark and bright sides of the European Enlightenment. Actually, whenever we contemplate the galleries devoted to Velázquez, El Greco, Zurbarán, Murillo or Goya in the Prado Museum in Madrid; when we visit the National Palace in Mexico City, a mission in California, a Jesuit church in Rome or the Intramuros quarter in Manila; or when we hear Spanish being spoken in a myriad of accents in the streets of San Francisco, New Orleans or Manhattan we are experiencing some of the past and present fruits of an always vibrant and still expanding cultural community. As the reader can infer by now, this book is about how Spain and the larger Hispanic world have contributed to world history and in particular to the history of civilisation, not only at the zenith of the Hispanic Monarchy but throughout a much longer span of time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Después de haber gozado una exitosa carrera en el campo de la pedagogía critica, Edel Romay finalmente puede dedicar toda su atención a algo que el siempre deseó hacer - Publicar sus manuscritos, que son muchos. Y este manuscrito aquí transformado en libro, nos habla de una ficción verdadera de ciertos recuerdos editados. No muy lejos de lo que Mario Vargas Llosa nos dice: La memoria es el punto de partida de la fantasía." Así pues, la narrativa breve aquí reunida nos expone a contemplar el ayer como un sueño. Algo así; como ese encuentro con la ausencia, que algunos escritores experimentan, cuando se adentran al cosmos de una hoja de papel en blanco, en el actual progresivo mundo digital. Sin embargo, el autor aun sigue usando el clásico lápiz y papel en blanco para sus borradores. Indudablemente, ese "ayer" que alguna vez fue "hoy" está suspendido en los laberintos de la memoria. Después de todo, ésta narrativa se inscribe en la premisa de que "La realidad solo existe en el lenguaje." Porque la realidad de esta obra se manifiesta; sí tú, la continúas leyendo... ¡Ves! Hay más de una lectura que te ofrece.

Book excerpt: By the early 1940s, when Ukrainian-born Irène Némirovsky began working on what would become Suite Française—the first two parts of a planned five-part novel—she was already a highly successful writer living in Paris. But she was also a Jew, and in 1942 she was arrested and deported to Auschwitz: a month later she was dead at the age of thirty-nine. Two years earlier, living in a small village in central France—where she, her husband, and their two small daughters had fled in a vain attempt to elude the Nazis—she’d begun her novel, a luminous portrayal of a human drama in which she herself would become a victim. When she was arrested, she had completed two parts of the epic, the handwritten manuscripts of which were hidden in a suitcase that her daughters would take with them into hiding and eventually into freedom. Sixty-four years later, at long last, we can read Némirovsky’s literary masterpiece The first part, “A Storm in June,” opens in the chaos of the massive 1940 exodus from Paris on the eve of the Nazi invasion during which several families and individuals are thrown together under circumstances beyond their control. They share nothing but the harsh demands of survival—some trying to maintain lives of privilege, others struggling simply to preserve their lives—but soon, all together, they will be forced to face the awful exigencies of physical and emotional displacement, and the annihilation of the world they know. In the second part, “Dolce,” we enter the increasingly complex life of a German-occupied provincial village. Coexisting uneasily with the soldiers billeted among them, the villagers—from aristocrats to shopkeepers to peasants—cope as best they can. Some choose resistance, others collaboration, and as their community is transformed by these acts, the lives of these these men and women reveal nothing less than the very essence of humanity. Suite Française is a singularly piercing evocation—at once subtle and severe, deeply compassionate and fiercely ironic—of life and death in occupied France, and a brilliant, profoundly moving work of art.

Book excerpt: "The most important work of fiction by an American in this literary generation." -The New Republic Now celebrating the 50th anniversary of its publication, Omensetter's Luck is the masterful first novel by the author of The Tunnel, Middle C, On Being Blue, and Eyes: Novellas and Stories. Greeted as a masterpiece when it was first published in 1966, Omensetter's Luck is the quirky, impressionistic, and breathtakingly original story of an ordinary community galvanized by the presence of an extraordinary man. Set in a small Ohio town in the 1890s, it chronicles - through the voices of various participants and observers - the confrontation between Brackett Omensetter, a man of preternatural goodness, and the Reverend Jethro Furber, a preacher crazed with a propensity for violent thoughts. Omensetter's Luck meticulously brings to life a specific time and place as it illuminates timeless questions about life, love, good, and evil. This edition includes an afterword written by William Gass in 1997. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.

Book excerpt: En Torrechica, un pueblo extremeño colindante con Cáceres y Badajoz, el amor apasionado y casi enfermizo de Diego por Aurora no es correspondido por esta, sin embargo la hija de la vecina de su madre, Blanca, y amiga de esta, ha empezando a enamorarse del chico, pero le resulta imposible hacer que Diego olvide a su amiga. Lo que no se imagina Blanca es que Miguel Solano, el hermano de Diego, hombre rudo y cuyo único objetivo en la vida es cumplir la promesa de venganza que hizo hace treinta años, suspira a cada momento por la chica. En este ambiente se mueven estos seres, la mayoría de los cuales viven del rencor de tiempos pasados: Pepa Fuentes dueña de un burdel y enamorada de Miguel Solano, aunque sabe que nunca podrá conseguir su amor; Paloma, la hija del alcalde y hermana de Aurora, mujer frívola que maneja a los hombres a su antojo hasta la llegada de Diego, y Don Leandro, el Alcalde, que guarda un terrible secreto que su mujer, Doña Pilar, llegará a descubrir. A través de las páginas nos vamos retrasando en el tiempo hasta llegar a la Guerra Civil, que es la principal causa de todos los rencores y sentimientos de venganza de los personajes. Todos quieren probar el sabor dulce de las Fresas, que para ellos significa vengarse de los que un día les arruinaron la vida, pero cuando lo logran se dan cuenta que las Fresas en vez de dulces son amargas, como lo es toda clase de venganza.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Javier Sedano completa con Rozando las estrellas su alegato a favor del modelo de vida naturista y del amor libre en una novela impregnada de misticismo y arrebatadoramente sincera donde el autor desnuda su corazón para descubrir su humilde manera de entender la vida. “Las estrellas recogen la esencia del ser humano, cuando nuestro cuerpo nos abandona una nueva estrella aparece en el firmamento”. La muerte de Alejandro inicia esta última parte de la trilogía en la que el autor nos presenta al Alejandro Ray, primogénito de la tercera generación, que ha heredado de sus abuelos, además de su porte, su respeto por la naturaleza y la lucha por las causas justas. El joven Álex y su pareja Daniel viajarán por todo el mundo descubriendo fascinantes lugares y aprendiendo de las experiencias que les sucedan que desembocarán en la revelación de un gran secreto que pondrá en peligro la vida de Álex y cambiará para siempre el destino de la humanidad. Rozando las estrellas es la novela más íntima y onírica del autor cántabro. En ella refleja la importancia del mundo de los sueños y la energía de la que estamos compuestos. Una novela mágica que te descubrirá que el amor es más fuerte que la razón y llega más allá del mundo que conocemos. Rozando las estrellas cierra la trilogía que Javier Sedano (Torrelavega, Cantabria, 1961) iniciara con Tras las puertas del corazón, novela revelación del 2009, y continuó con Preguntas sin respuesta (2010). Presidente y fundador de la Asociación Naturista de Cantabria, Sedano expone en su trilogía un conmovedor y bello argumento en defensa de la vida naturista y del amor libre.

Book excerpt: Francisco Goya y Lucientes (1746-1828) created magnificent paintings, tapestry designs, prints, and drawings over the course of his long and productive career. Women frequently appeared as the subjects of Goya's works, from his brilliantly painted cartoons for the Royal Tapestry Factory to his stunning portraits of some of the most powerful women in Madrid. This groundbreaking book is the first to examine the representations of women within Goya's multifaceted art, and in so doing, it sheds new light on the evolution of his artistic creativity as well as on the roles assumed by women in late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century Spain. Many of Goya's most famous works are featured and explicated in this beautifully designed and produced book. The artist's famous tapestry cartoons are included, along with the tapestries woven after them for the royal palaces of the Prado and the Escorial. Goya's infamous Naked Maja and Clothed Maja are also highlighted, with a discussion on whether these works were painted at the same time and how they might have originally hung in relation to one another. Focus is also placed on Goya's more experimental prints and drawings, in which the artist depicted women alternatively as targets of satire, of sympathy, or of admiration. Essays by eminent authorities provide a historical and cultural context for Goya's work, including a discussion on the significance of fashion and dress during the period. The resultant volume is surely to be treasured by all who admire Goya's art and by those who are interested in women's issues of his time.

Su padre, un marino de la Armada Real destinado al Virreinato de Nueva Granada, le pide que se reúna con él en Cartagena de Indias. La esperan una fortuna en cacaotales y un aristócrata venido a menos con quien casarse. Pero al desembarcar le informan que su padre fue asesinado y su prometido se casó con otra. Pronto Carina descubrirá los turbios negocios de su padre, el contrabando generalizado, el clima de guerra que se vive en todo el Caribe entre España e Inglaterra, la existencia de una hermanastra mulata perseguida por la Inquisición y los pasquines difamatorios que la han puesto en ridículo antes de llegar a la ciudad. Su camino se cruzará con el de Diego de Veranz, un malcriado aristócrata desterrado de la ciudad acusado de un crimen, que tras su fachada de bonvivant trabaja en secreto para la Corona. Oculto tras el disfraz de letrado, ayudará a la mujer a la que él mismo convirtió en el hazmerreír de toda Cartagena. Ambos buscan venganza, pero serán arrollados por un elemento imprevisto: la pasión.Las plantaciones de cacao, las misas negras en las ciénagas, el poder de la Inquisición y el lujo de la corte virreinal, el pirateo en Jamaica y Tortuga, el asalto inglés a Portobello y el ataque inglés a Cartagena -el mayor en la historia naval hasta el de Normandía doscientos años después-, son el escenario de esta heroica novela de amor.

Book excerpt: INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER “If you’re a fan like I am this is definitely the book for you.” —Pete Davidson, actor, producer, and cast member on Saturday Night Live “Danny’s incredible life story shows that even though we may fall down at some point in our lives, it’s what we do when we stand back up that really counts.” —Robert Rodriguez, creator of Spy Kids, Desperado, and Machete Discover the full, fascinating, and inspirational true story of Danny Trejo’s journey from crime, prison, addiction, and loss—it’s “enough to make you believe in the possibility of a Hollywood ending” (The New York Times Book Review). On screen, Danny Trejo the actor is a baddie who has been killed at least a hundred times. He’s been shot, stabbed, hanged, chopped up, squished by an elevator, and once, was even melted into a bloody goo. Off screen, he’s a hero beloved by recovery communities and obsessed fans alike. But the real Danny Trejo is much more complicated than the legend. Raised in an abusive home, Danny struggled with heroin addiction and stints in some of the country’s most notorious state prisons—including San Quentin and Folsom—from an early age, before starring in such modern classics as Heat, From Dusk till Dawn, and Machete. Now, in this funny, painful, and suspenseful memoir, Danny takes us through the incredible ups and downs of his life, including meeting one of the world’s most notorious serial killers in prison and working with legends like Charles Bronson and Robert De Niro. An honest, unflinching, and “inspirational study in the definition of character” (Kevin Smith, director and actor), Trejo reveals how he managed the horrors of prison, rebuilt himself after finding sobriety and spirituality in solitary confinement, and draws inspiration from the adrenaline-fueled robbing heists of his past for the film roles that made him a household name. He also shares the painful contradictions in his personal life. Although he speaks everywhere from prison yards to NPR about his past to inspire countless others on their own road to recovery and redemption, he struggles to help his children with their personal battles with addiction, and to build relationships that last. Redemptive and painful, poignant and real, Trejo is a portrait of a magnificent life and an unforgettable and exceptional journey.
