Este libro ha sido concebido como una obra colectiva y redactada por muchas manos, seleccionadas según el ideario del proyecto que enfatiza la descentralización del discurso desde Santiago y convoca a personas especializadas y/o que hubiesen realizado arqueologia en distintas regiones del pais, incluidos aquellos territorios y maritorios tradicionalmente excluidos de los relatos convencionales, como pueden ser las islas alejadas del continente y la Antartica. En veinte capitulos, cada uno de ellos aborda las historias de las arqueologias en un area especifica, delimitada por la trayectoria investigativa de la zona y por la geopolitica administrativa del Estado chileno. Indudablemente, algunos de los textos atraviesan la historia local mas alla de su incorporacion al Estado de Chile, como sucede, por ejemplo, en Rapa Nui y el desierto nortino, pero tambien en el resto del pais antes de su independencia.

"Letters on England" is a collection of letters created by Voltaire after his three-year exile to England (1726-9) following imprisonment in the Bastille for his satirical writings. Voltaire wrote this series of letters offering the French public a panoramic view of English culture. He was full of enthusiasm and freedom - as opposed to the tyrannical feudal society of his homeland. "Letters on England" discusses English religious sects, politics, scientists and writers with great admiration, yet the clever Voltaire also flattered his French readers with humorous references to the old-fashioned clothes and speech of the Quakers and to antics in the House of Commons. At first banned in France, this intriguing and often comic account of a culture viewed through foreign eyes was to prove highly influential in shaping French attitudes to England.

Una república gobernada por poetas, literatos, periodistas e intelectuales. Como presidente, un crítico teatral melenudo y místico. Sus principios: el pacifismo radical, la democracia directa, la justicia social y el poder de la fantasia. ¿Es una utopia? No: es historia. En noviembre de 1918 se proclamo en Munich la Republica Libre de Baviera. Thomas y Heinrich Mann, Hermann Hesse, Rainer Maria Rilke y otras muchas personalidades de la cultura alemana simpatizaron con el movimiento que derroco la monarquia y se hizo con el poder. Sin embargo, la republica termino, a los pocos meses de nacer, con el presidio, el exilio o la muerte de la mayoria de sus lideres. El campo quedaba abonado: pocos años despues el nacionalsocialismo se adueñaria de la sociedad alemana. Weidermann transforma las verdades subjetivas de los testigos y protagonistas en una agil narracion que nos conduce por los dias convulsos y efervescentes en los que un grupo de idealistas pudo haber cambiado el rumbo del siglo XX. La republica de los soñadores es un palpitante reportaje, casi un thriller historico, sobre un episodio unico y poetico por si mismo en el que sutilmente resuenan algunas evocaciones de nuestro momento presente."Una deliciosa invitacion a adentrarse en un episodio utopico, y sin embargo real, del que sabemos demasiado poco".

Ostend, 1936: the Belgian seaside town is playing host to a coterie of artists, intellectuals and madmen, who find themselves in limbo while Europe gazes into an abyss of fascism and war. Among them is Stefan Zweig, a man in crisis: his German publisher has shunned him, his marriage is collapsing, his house in Austria no longer feels like home. Along with his lover Lotte, he seeks refuge in this paradise of promenades and parasols, where he reunites with his estranged friend Joseph Roth. For a moment, they create a fragile haven; but as Europe begins to crumble around them, they find themselves trapped on an uncanny kind of holiday, watching the world burn.

Este ebook presenta "Una casa encantada", con un sumario dinámico y detallado. El único volumen de cuentos debido a Virginia Woolf que vio la luz pública durante su vida. Virginia Woolf siempre tuvo la costumbre de escribir relatos, de vez en cuando. Cuando se le ocurria la idea de un relato, solia esbozarlo de forma muy rudimentaria y guardarlo en un cajon. Luego, si un editor le pedia un cuento, y Virginia Woolf tenia el humor propicio para ello, sacaba el esbozo del cajon y lo volvia a escribir, en ocasiones muchas veces. Cuando Virginia Woolf estimaba, lo cual le ocurria a menudo si se hallaba en trance de escribir una novela, que necesitaba dar descanso a su mente por el medio de escribir otra cosa durante un tiempo, escribia un ensayo critico, o bien desarrollaba uno de sus esbozos de cuento. Adeline Virginia Woolf (1882 - 1941) fue una novelista, ensayista, escritora de cartas, editora, feminista y escritora de cuentos britanica, considerada como una de las mas destacadas figuras del modernismo literario del siglo XX.

En 1928 a Virginia Woolf le propusieron dar una serie de charlas sobre la mujer y la novela. Lejos de cualquier dogmatismo, planteó la cuestión desde un punto de vista realista, valiente y particular. Planteo una pregunta: ¿que necesitan las mujeres para escribir buenas novelas? y a la misma, una sola respuesta: independencia economica y personal, es decir, una habitacion propia.
