A cien años de su publicación, Tirano Banderas no ha perdido un ápice de vigencia y se disfruta hoy como un atlas, tan real como simbólico, del poder totalitario.En 1926, se publicó por primera vez Tirano Banderas, una novela radical Valle-Inclan en forma y fondo. Con ella, el autor rompe con las formas narrativas tradicionales, implanta el esperpento en la novela y construye un retrato feroz del poder totalitario. Aunque ambientada en una republica ficticia (se descubre el paisaje de Mexico como trasfondo, pais al que viajo Valle en distintas ocasiones), la novela no busca verosimilitud telurica sino retratar la estructura psicologica del despotismo.La figura del general Santos Banderas no es solo un personaje, sino una sintesis del caudillo iberoamericano, desde Rosas hasta Trujillo, pasando por Porfirio Diaz. Con su prosa riquisima, su lexico mestizo, su mirada deformante y su critica brutal, Valle-Inclan abre un camino que recorreran luego Asturias, Roa Bastos, Garcia Marquez o Vargas Llosa, entre otros.A cien años de su publicacion, Tirano Banderas no ha perdido un apice de vigencia: la manipulacion del lenguaje, el uso del terror como herramienta politica, el culto al lider, la violencia institucionalizada... siguen presentes en muchas naciones a lo largo y ancho del planeta. Esta obra no solo es una pieza literaria de primer orden: es un mapa actual y simbolico del poder.

Illness is not simply a matter of biology. Our thoughts, conscious or otherwise, can make us feel pain or become unwell. If you experienced side effects from your Covid vaccine, the chances are that these were caused by your belief that you would experience them. When a nurse tells you this is going to hurt, it generally does - but perhaps it shouldnt.In this revelatory study, neuroscientist Helen Pilcher explores the hidden impact of the nocebo effect - the placebos evil twin. Medical studies have proven the nocebo effect to cause pain, nausea, paralysis, seizures, and even blindness. The nocebo effect impacts how we grow sick and grow old, explains why people who dont have food allergies have dietary intolerances, and why adults and teenagers are equally susceptible to catching tics through social media. From Havana Syndrome to hex deaths, chronic pain and mystery illnesses, this book explains what happens when illness, psychology and society meet - and shows us what we can do to become less ill and more well.
