Waverley, la primera gran novela histórica de Sir Walter Scott, es una obra fundamental que abrió las puertas a un nuevo género literario y que aún hoy mantiene toda su fuerza y atractivo. Nos sumerge en la Escocia del siglo XVIII con una mezcla cautivadora de aventura, intriga y romance, al mismo tiempo que refleja las tensiones culturales y politicas de una sociedad en transformacion. Su relevancia perdura porque no solo ofrece un retrato vivo de una epoca, sino que tambien plantea preguntas universales sobre la identidad, la lealtad y el choque entre tradicion y modernidad. Convertida en un verdadero clasico, sigue siendo leida y admirada por su capacidad de combinar el rigor historico con la emocion de la ficcion, mostrando como la literatura puede dar vida al pasado y hacerlo cercano a cada generacion.La historia sigue a Edward Waverley, un joven caballero ingles de familia acomodada, cuya vida hasta entonces ha sido tranquila y protegida. Educado en un ambiente refinado y romantico, Waverley desarrolla una imaginacion idealista que lo empuja a buscar experiencias mas intensas, mas alla de los limites seguros de su hogar. Su destino cambia al ingresar en el ejercito y ser destinado a Escocia, una tierra llena de paisajes agrestes, tradiciones antiguas y tensiones politicas entre los jacobitas y el poder establecido de la corona britanica. Alli, Edward se ve inmerso en un mundo de contrastes: conoce la hospitalidad y nobleza de familias escocesas, pero tambien la crudeza de la vida en las Highlands. Su caracter soñador lo lleva a involucrarse en causas que no siempre comprende del todo, pero que despiertan su sentido de honor y lealtad.A lo largo de su viaje, Waverley se cruza con personajes inolvidables. Entre ellos destaca Fergus Mac-Ivor, un carismatico y valiente lider jacobita, cuya pasion por la independencia de Escocia arrastra tanto admiracion como peligro. Junto a el, su hermana Flora, hermosa y de espiritu indomable, cautiva a Edward con su firmeza y su dedicacion a la causa de su pueblo. Estos encuentros transforman al protagonista y lo ponen en medio de un torbellino de decisiones que marcaran su destino.

Volver a Ti es una conversación conmigo misma, escrita desde lacalma que llega después del ruido. No hay fórmulas ni promesas, solomomentos que me enseñaron a mirar hacia adentro. Comparto lo queentendi, lo que solte, lo que elegi volver a abrazar.Cada capitulo es un latido, una reconciliacion con mis sombras y misraices. No escribi para sanar, sino para recordar que el amor propiotambien se construye con cicatrices. Este libro es mi regreso, es unrecorrido cotidiano, honesto, que quiza tambien te acompañe en eltuyo.

Una lectura imprescindible para entender las dimensiones humanas de la guerra y un testimonio de que el perdón y la reconciliación en Colombia son posibles.Las FARC nunca perdonaron mi deserción y no han dejado de verme como una traidora. Se han reconciliado con algunos de sus peores enemigos, pero a mi no han querido ni verme. Debe de ser porque para ellos es mas facil perdonar a los enemigos que a los amigos.Volver a ser Elda es el relato en primera persona de Elda Mosquera, quien a los dieciseis años, siendo una joven campesina en Uraba, fue reclutada por las FARC. Durante mas de veinticuatro años fue conocida como alias Karina, hasta que deserto en 2008 y tuvo que afrontar el juicio de un pais para el que ella encarnaba la maldad y la degradacion de la guerra, un mito que crecio en los medios de comunicacion sin que la guerrillera, internada en la selva, tuviera conocimiento alguno de las atroces acciones que se le adjudicaban.Estas memorias, escritas de la mano del politologo Gustavo Duncan, ofrecen una mirada intima a la vida de la unica mujer que llego a ser reconocida en Colombia como una militante con mando en las FARC. Por medio de una narrativa sencilla, pero cruda y sobrecogedora, Elda relata como era la vida diaria en la guerrilla y reflexiona sobre sus emociones, dilemas morales y arrepentimientos, en especial con respecto a una hija a la que no pudo criar y a las victimas del conflicto.

"Para enfrentar las elecciones que se avecinan es indispensable volver la vista atrás hacia los años recientes de la política nacional. La revuelta de 2019, la fallida Convención Constitucional y el triunfo del Rechazo el 2022 representan nuevos clivajes que separan aguas entre derechas e izquierdas". Con estas palabras el ex convencional Ruggero Cozzi invita a repasar el periodo que engloba el llamado "estallido social", poniendo la mirada en las lecciones que dejo. A tres meses de la eleccion presidencial y parlamentaria de 2025, alerta sobre la amenaza real que representa una candidata comunista, con un proyecto comunista mas o menos camuflado, pero que en ultimo termino es similar a la frustrada propuesta de Constitucion.
