Resiliencia y Memoria es un libro atravesado por la vida, por la pérdida y por los vínculos que nos sostienen cuando todo parece quebrarse.A través de recuerdos personales, escenas familiares y fragmentos de una historia marcada por la literatura, la fe y el afecto, Mario Bizzari construye un relato honesto y profundamente humano. La figura del padre Dino Bizzari, profesor de literatura y escritor, la memoria de la madre, la fuerza del amor compartido con su esposa y su hija y los espacios que dejaron huella (el liceo, la parroquia, el barrio, la imprenta) se entrelazan para dar forma a una obra que habla de identidad y pertenencia.Este no es solo un libro de memorias: es un ejercicio de resistencia emocional, una celebracion de la palabra como refugio y un testimonio de como, incluso en los momentos mas oscuros, la memoria puede convertirse en un acto de amor y de esperanza.

Geoeconomía estratégica revela cómo los factores económicos moldean las dinámicas del poder global y regional con un estilo entretenido y riguroso en el que se analizan 65 casos de estudio reales que estan transformando el orden mundial. Analistas economicos, academicos, estudiantes y profesionales de relaciones internacionales, economia politica internacional y estudios de seguridad, y todo aquel lector que desea entender la situacion internacional actual encontraran en esta obra una referencia imprescindible. El economista Jose Luis Moreno Casas aborda la nueva realidad global con los hechos. La geoeconomia estrategica explica como las naciones compiten, influyen y condicionan economicamente, y permite comprender lo que de verdad esta en juego: el acceso a los recursos, la supremacia tecnologica, la seguridad energetica y el dominio de las cadenas de suministro. Estados Unidos, China y Europa estan redefiniendo sus estrategias no solo en funcion de su capacidad militar y financiera, sino tambien en su capacidad para atraer capital y talento. Geoeconomia estrategica destaca por su rigor y actualidad. Su valor reside no solo en la amplitud de los temas que aborda energia, demografia, tecnologia, finanzas, gobernanza, seguridad, sino tambien en la claridad con la que los conecta. Daniel Lacalle. La gran enseñanza de Geoeconomia estrategica es que, en un mundo de fuerzas geopoliticas aceleradas y competitividad extrema, la autentica fortaleza no reside en la velocidad, sino en la direccion, por lo que esta obra ofrece una brujula rigurosa y reflexiva para entender donde se mueve el poder global.

Sara y Xan son dos jóvenes apasionados por la música y la investigación. Residen en Ibiza, donde conocen a Chelu, un isleño con el que hacen buena conexión y que esconde un secreto fascinante que decide compartir con ellos.Chelu tiene la capacidad de viajar en el tiempo a traves de las ondas sonoras, la cual le fue concedida por un chaman descendiente directo de las antiguas civilizaciones que poblaron Centroamerica en la epoca precolombina. Agradecidos por compartir el secreto con ellos, Sara y Xan trazan un plan de viaje en el que investigaran de primera mano la evolucion y el desarrollo de la musica contemporanea durante el siglo XX y lo que llevamos del XXI, utilizando como hilo conductor la influencia de la tecnologia en la musica durante ese periodo de tiempo.El viaje comenzara en el año 1913, con una visita a Paris con motivo de la presentacion de la obra Le Sacre du Printemps, del maestro ruso Igor Stravinsky, considerando este hecho el inicio del cambio de paradigma de la musica contemporanea del siglo XX.A partir de ahi, recorreran, en diferentes etapas, lugares fundamentales en el desarrollo de la musica contemporanea, conociendo e interactuando con algunos de los personajes que posibilitaron dicha evolucion. Zurich, Londres, Nueva York, Colonia, Kingston, San Francisco, Bristol, Chicago, Detroit, Ibiza y Dusseldorf son algunos de los sitios clave que visitan en su periplo.Igor Stravinsky, Arnold Schoenberg, Robert Moog, Lee Scratch Perry, Giorgio Moroder, Afrika Bambaataa, Kraftwerk, Derrick May, Dr. Dre, Genesis P. Orridge, Aphex Twin, Massive Attack, Goldie o Ryoji Ikeda son algunos de los protagonistas que visitan nuestros personajes en el transcurso de su viaje a traves del tiempo.

Piero Martinetti (1872–1943) representa una de las cimas más elevadas y, paradójicamente, más aisladas del pensamiento filosófico italiano del siglo XX. Historiador de la filosofía y pensador origina

Un funcionario gris, a punto de jubilarse, da con unos legajos que hablan de un soldado nacido en 1880. Nada extraordinario, salvo por un detalle: ese hombre podría haber vivido cerca de ciento cuarenta años. Lo que empieza como una broma para incomodar a sus superiores se convierte en una investigacion obsesiva que desentierra una vida imposible de ignorar: la de Majencio Arraez Sayagues.Soldado voluntario en el 98, amante de una mulata cubana con secretos que desbordan el melodrama, testigo en carne viva de la derrota española en Puerto Rico y participe de la amarga repatriacion, Majencio no es solo un superviviente. Es un insumiso nato, un joven que escapa de un futuro impuesto para buscar el propio entre el barro, la sangre y las habaneras desafinadas, junto a un cabo seco y fiel, un medico esceptico y una mujer que desafia los limites de su tiempo.Entre escenas de guerra, amores frustrados y traiciones intimas, esta primera entrega de la trilogia recorre las primeras tres decadas del siglo XX con una mezcla equilibrada de ficcion historica y memoria emocional. La voz del narrador, a medio camino entre la cronica burocratica y el arrebato novelistico, nos enfrenta a la pregunta de que hacemos con los relatos que incomodan al poder, en un pais que, entre derrota y derrota, sigue sin saber que hacer con sus fantasmas.Una novela para quienes buscan personajes con carne, errores y memoria. O la verdad entre los papeles que nadie quiere leer.

Fernando no es un héroe. Tampoco es un ejemplo. Es un tipo cualquiera, con el corazón en carne viva y una historia que muchos podrían contar, pero que pocos se atreven a escribir. ¡Cuánto has tardado! No es solo una novela romantica, es una inmersion brutal, sin filtros, en los altibajos del amor moderno y el desarraigo emocional.Desde los barrios de Madrid hasta los ecos caribeños de Paola, su nueva compañera, Fernando se arrastra, tropieza y se reinventa tras una ruptura que lo deja hecho trizas. Lo que podria ser una simple historia de desamor se convierte en una radiografia visceral de una generacion que busca querer y ser querida, entre expectativas que pesan y pasados que no sueltan.Con una prosa desbordante, popular y profundamente humana, Alejandro Luisi Buchelli no embellece el dolor ni edulcora las pasiones. Prefiere mostrarlo todo: los celos, los silencios que duelen, el sexo sin poesia, los reproches familiares y las pequeñas luces que se encienden cuando parece que todo esta perdido.Este libro no da lecciones, pero incomoda. No busca agradar, sino decir: asi es como a veces se quiere, como a veces se sufre, como a veces se sigue. Y eso, en un mundo lleno de artificios, es mucho decir.

Like a comet! Why, Peters, I laid over the lot of them! Of course there warnt any of them going my way, as a steady thing, you know, because they travel in a long circle like the loop of a lasso, whereas I was pointed as straight as a dart for the Hereafter; but I happened on one every now and then that was going my way for an hour or so, and then we had a bit of a brush together.But it was generally pretty one-sided, because I sailed by them the same as if they were standing still. An ordinary comet dont make more than about 200,000 miles a minute. Of course when I came across one of that sortlike Enckes and Halleys comets, for instanceit warnt anything but just a flash and a vanish, you see.You couldnt rightly call it a race. It was as if the comet was a gravel-train and I was a telegraph despatch. But after I got outside of our astronomical system, I used to flush a comet occa-sionally that was something like. We havent got any such cometsours dont begin. One night I was swinging along at a good round gait, everything taut and trim, and the wind in my favorI judged I was going about a million miles a minuteit might have been more..

Eves Diary is a comic short story by Mark Twain. It is written in the style of a diary kept by the first woman in the Judeo-Christian creation story, Eve, and is claimed to be "translated from the original MS." The "plot" of this novel is the first-person account of Eve from her creation up to her burial by, her mate, Adam, including meeting and getting to know Adam, and exploring the world around her, Eden. The story then jumps 40 years into the future after the Fall and expulsion from Eden.The book may have been written as a posthumous love-letter to Mark Twains wife Olivia Langdon Clemens, or Livy, who died in June 1904, just before the story was written.Mark Twain is quoted as saying, "Eves Diary is finished Ive been waiting for her to speak, but she doesnt say anything more." The story ends with Adams speaking at Eves grave, "Wherever she was, there was Eden."

The object of this book, which is addressed to all cultured men and women, is to set forth the primitive manifestations of love and to throw light on those strange emotional climaxes which I have called "Metaphysical Eroticism."I have taken no account of historical detail, except where it served the purpose of proving, explaining and illustrating my subject. Nor have I hesitated to intermingle psychological motives and motives arising from the growth and spread of civilisation.The inevitable result of a one-sided glimpse at historical facts would have been a history of love, an undertaking for which I lack both ability and inclination. On the other hand, had I written a merely psychological treatise, disregarding the succession of periods, I should have laid myself open to the just reproach of giving rein to my imagination instead of dealing with reality.

The speaker had just pushed his horse over the brow of a slope which he and his servant had for some time been mounting, through the steamy warmth of a foggy May morning.The thick haze which lay heavy in this region of marshy ground had hidden the surrounding country from them hitherto; but as they reached the summit of the gradual rise they had been ascending, the cloud wreaths suddenly drifted away, and the sun began to shine out upon the undulating plain stretched before their eyes; and lo, the plain was alive with squadrons of soldiersinfantry, cavalry, artillerydrawn up in battle array; and the note of the bugle rang through the air, whilst away in the distance, on the opposite side of the plain, there was a movement which told that already the battle had begun.A sullen roar from the guns boomed forth, and the whole plain shook with the reverberation. Great masses of smoke rolled along and slowly dispersed after each salvo; but it was upon the evolutions of the bodies of horsemen and footmen that the keen eyes of the youthful traveller were intently fixed.

Euthyphro (right-minded or sincere) is one of Platos early dialogues, dated to after 399 BC. Taking place during the weeks leading up to Socrates trial, the dialogue features Socrates and Euthyphro, a religious expert also mentioned at Cratylus 396a and 396d, attempting to define piety or holiness.Euthyphro has come to lay manslaughter charges against his father, as his father had allowed one of his workers to die exposed to the elements without proper care and attention (3e4d). This worker had killed a slave belonging to the family estate on the island of Naxos; while Euthyphros father waited to hear from the expounders of religious law (exegetes cf. Laws 759d) about how to proceed, the worker died bound and gagged in a ditch. Socrates expresses his astonishment at the confidence of a man able to take his own father to court on such a serious charge, even when Athenian Law allows only relatives of the deceased to sue for murder.Platos sophistication as a writer is evident in his Socratic dialogues; thirty-six dialogues and thirteen letters have been ascribed to him, although 1518 of them have been contested. Platos writings have been published in several fashions.

No Longer Human is one of the most important works of modern Japanese literature. The novel is presented as a series of notebooks written by ba Yz, a deeply troubled man who feels incapable of understanding or connecting with other people. From childhood, Yz believes he is fundamentally different from those around him. To hide his fear and confusion, he adopts the role of a clown, using humor to mask his inner anxiety and alienation. As he grows older, his life becomes increasingly chaotic, marked by failed relationships, addiction, and repeated emotional breakdowns. Despite occasional moments of kindness and affection from others, Yz cannot escape his sense of disconnection from society. His struggles lead him into destructive behaviors and despair, as he gradually loses any hope of belonging in the human world. Often considered semi-autobiographical, the novel reflects Osamu Dazais own experiences with depression and existential crisis. Written in a confessional and intimate style, No Longer Human is a powerful exploration of alienation, shame, and the fragile nature of identity in modern society.
