| el traidor el diario secreto: Cartel Wives Mia Flores, Olivia Flores, 2017-06-20 An astonishing, revelatory, and redemptive memoir from two women who escaped the international drug trade, with never-before-revealed details about El Chapo, the Sinaloa Cartel, and the dangerous world of illicit drugs. Olivia and Mia Flores are married to the highest level drug traffickers ever to become US informants. Their husbands worked with--and then brought down--El Chapo, as well as dozens of high-level members of the Mexican cartels. They had everything money could buy: luxury cars, huge houses, and expensive jewelry--but they chose to give it all up when they cooperated with the US government. They knew that life was about more than wealth; it was about love, family, and doing what's right. Cartel Wives is a love story, a Married to the Mob story, an insider's look into the terrifying but high-flying empire of the new world of drugs, and, finally, the story of a major DEA and FBI operation. |
| el traidor el diario secreto: A Massacre in Mexico Anabel Hernández, 2018-10-16 The definitive account of the disappearance of forty-three Mexican students On September 26, 2014, a party of students from the Ayotzinapa Rural Teachers’ College were en route to a protest when intercepted by local police. A confrontation ensued. Come the morning, the students were nowhere to be found. The crime that had transpired and the resultant cover-up brought the profound depths of corruption in the Mexican government and police force—as well as the vulnerability of ordinary Mexicans—into stark relief. Investigative reporter Anabel Hernández reconstructs the terrible events of that night and its aftermath, giving us the most complete picture available. Her sources are unparalleled. In researching this book, she secured access to internal government documents that have not been made public and to surveillance footage the government has tried to hide and destroy. Hernández demolishes the Mexican state’s official version of events, which the Peña Nieto government cynically dubbed the “historic truth.” As her research shows, state officials at all levels, from police and prosecutors to the upper echelons of government, conspired to put together a fake case, concealing and manipulating evidence, and arresting and torturing dozens of “suspects,” procuring forced confessions to back up the official lie. By following the role of the various Mexican state agencies through the events in such remarkable detail, A Massacre in Mexico shows with exacting precision precisely who is responsible for this monumental crime and who needs to be held accountable. |
| el traidor el diario secreto: The Last Narco Malcolm Beith, 2010-09-02 Mexico, April 2009. The bodies of a pair of undercover military intelligence agents, disguised as campesinos (farmers), are dumped by the side of the road. Beside the corpses is a message on a scrap of paper: 'You'll never get El Chapo.' Such is the fate of many who have dared to try to catch El Chapo, or oppose him. El Chapo is the world's most wanted drug lord, at large since he escaped from prison in 2001 after bribing guards to wheel him out in a laundry cart. His cartel moves thousands of tons of cocaine, marijuana and heroine into the US each year using tunnels, planes and submarines. He has made an estimated $20 billion, and appeared on Forbes magazine's Global Power List in 2009. He bribes or kills politicians, police, soldiers and those who betray him. He's hailed by locals as a folk hero. But the net is closing. Who will make the final move? There is no bigger crime story today, worldwide, than the Mexican drug war and the hunt for El Chapo. The Last Narco traces his life and the struggle to bring him to justice, through reportage and interviews with rival narcos, police and DEA sources. This is a non-fiction thriller to match Mark Bowden's Killing Pablo and Roberto Saviano's Gomorrah. It also tells a wider story: the brutal war between the cartels, the endemic state corruption and the US complicity in a conflict that is killing more people than Iraq. |

Supported the Arts Council Grant's for the Arts Programme and by PEN Promotes Veering between carnival and apocalypse, Mexico has in the last ten years become the epicentre of the international drug trade.

The drug cartels and the forces of law and order are often in collusion, corruption is everywhere. Life is cheap and inconvenient people - the poor, the unlucky, the honest or the inquisitive - can be disappeared leaving not a trace behind (in September 2015, more than 26,798 were officially registered as not located).

Reading these accounts we begin to understand the true nature of the meltdown of democracy, obscured by lurid headlines, and the sheer physical and intellectual courage needed to oppose it. |

| el traidor el diario secreto: The Phaeton Report Albert Salvado, 2014-10-06 Winston Churchill said: the further we look into the past, the further we will see into the future. A famous writer knows in a party a man who tells her about USC (Universal Scientific Community), secret society created in times of Galileo Galilei that is dedicated to preserving the knowledge and the scientific truth against the attacks of the religions and official departments. In the middle of the feast the man mysteriously disappears and the writer discovers that nobody knows or has seen him. Surprised, the writer researches and locates a member of USC that gives him access to true and remote history of humanity and the lies that have come to us to the present. Even he allows him to get into USC and meet other members. The real surprise comes when they reveal him (and show him!) the existence and destruction in times of Pangea, the only continent, and that the Great Flood was not work of the wrath of God, but the result of a human error made by an ancient civilization that almost kills all humanity. However, even he is going to discover the largest of all the surprises... if we do not, we can commit another mistake and again endanger humanity. Work based on data that are available to the public and which can be checked, the critics has said: This is no conventional historic novel... This novel breaks all of the accepted rules that orthodox literary criticism follows in judging how novels should be written (criteria laid down by E. M. Forster and followed by many critics). The book is based on a vast amount of documents and research, which is another way the author breaks the rules, because he does not conceal anything... and he does all that without breaking step, as if it were a game... This is a controversial book... My life will never be the same after reading The Phaeton Report.(Carme J. Huertas, writer, EMBAT) His most ambitious book. If Albert Salvado (Andorra la Vella) had been born in another part of the globe he would be a bestselling author... He has more than a score of books under his belt, mostly historical novels, which are unspoilt by any pretensions to bestseller status.(Joan Joseph Isern, AVUI) The Phaeton Report is a frenetic novel in which the Andorran writer Albert Salvado revises the official version of the Great Flood and warns of the dangers of climate change. (Xavier Aldekoa, LA VANGUARDIA) ... The Phaeton Report is a real surprise ... an intelligent bestseller. (Jordi Valls, AVUI) ...it goes down delightfully and leaves a refreshing taste in your mouth... impressive work... science fiction of the highest order... direct, linear narration coupled with a vast amount of information. (Antonio J. Ubero, ELFARO) The Phaeton Report, a great legend that will make history with a truly possible account.

| el traidor el diario secreto: El traidor. El diario secreto del hijo del Mayo / The Traitor. The secret diary of Mayo's son Anabel Hernandez, 2020-01-21 El traidor es uno de los trabajos periodísticos más ambiciosos en la trayectoria de Anabel Hernández. Su historia se remonta a enero de 2011, cuando la contactó uno de los abogados de Vicente Zambada Niebla, mejor conocido como Vicentillo, quien enfrentaba un juicio en una corte de Chicago. La intención era compartir con la periodista documentos y hechos que ampliaban y esclarecían varios de los episodios que acababa de dar a conocer en Los señores del narco. Entre los documentos a los que tuvo acceso se encuentran el inquietante autorretrato como payaso que aparece en la portada y los diarios realizados por Vicentillo durante las negociaciones para colaborar con el gobierno norteamericano, los cuales hasta ahora eran secretos. En ellos el capo reconstruyó su historia y la historia de una de las organizaciones de tráfico de estupefacientes más grandes del planeta. A lo largo de estas páginas, la autora se adentra en el Cártel de Sinaloa a través del relato de Vicentillo, quien exhibe de manera descarnada cómo funciona el sistema interno que da vida a la organización criminal, la violencia, las mil formas de traficar droga y la complicidad entre políticos, empresarios y fuerzas del orden. Pero sobre todo devela el perfil de quien durante el último medio siglo ha sido el rey del narcotráfico. Quien nunca ha pisado la cárcel y quien desde su trono ha visto caer a amigos, enemigos, socios, competidores, familiares, empleados del gobierno y hasta sus propios hijos, sin que eso haga mella en su poder, el padre de Vicentillo: Ismael el Mayo Zambada. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The Traitor is one of the most ambitious journalistic works of Anabel Hernández's career. Her story dates back to January of 2011, when she's contacted by one of Vicente Zambada Niebla's lawyers, better known as Vicentillo, who was facing charges in a court in Chicago. The intention was to share with the reporter documents and facts that would broaden and clear up various episodes that had just come to light in Los señores del narco. Among the documents to which she had access is the disturbing self-portrait as a clown that appears on the cover and the diaries kept by Vicentillo during his negotiations to collaborate with the North American government, which until now were secret. In them, el capo reconstructed his story and the story of the one of the largest drug-trafficking organizations on the planet. In these pages, the author goes inside the Sinaloa Cartel through Vicentillo's account, who grimly exhibits the internal workings that give life to the criminal organization, the violence, the thousands of way to traffic drugs, and the complicity among politicians, businessmen, and security forces. But, above all, he unveils the profile of the person who, during the last half century, has been the king of drug trafficking. Someone who has never stepped inside a prison cell, who from his thrown has seen his friends, enemies, partners, competitors, family members, government employees, and even his own children fall, without this ever making a dent in his power, the father of Vicentillo: Ismael el Mayo Zambada. |

| el traidor el diario secreto: El Narco Ioan Grillo, 2012-01-16 ‘War’ is no exaggeration in discussing the bloodshed that has terrorized Mexico in the past decades. As rival cartels battle for control of a billion-dollar drug trade, the body count - 23,000 dead in five years - and sheer horror beggar the imagination of journalistic witnesses. Cartel gunmen have attacked schools and rehabilitation centers, and murdered the entire families of those who defy them. Reformers and law enforcement officials have been gunned down within hours of taking office. Headless corpses are dumped on streets to intimidate rivals, and severed heads are rolled onto dancefloors as messages to would-be opponents. And the war is creeping northward, towards the United States. El Narco is the story of the ultraviolent criminal organizations that have turned huge areas of Mexico into a combat zone. It is a piercing portrait of a drug trade that turns ordinary men into mass murderers, as well as a diagnosis of what drives the cartels and what gives them such power. Veteran Mexico correspondent Ioan Grillo traces the gangs from their origins as smugglers to their present status as criminal empires. The narco cartels are a threat to the Mexican government - and their violence has now reached as far as North Carolina. El Narco is required reading for anyone concerned about one of the most important news stories of the decade. |
| el traidor el diario secreto: American Kingpin Nick Bilton, 2017-05-02 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER. The unbelievable true story of the man who built a billion-dollar online drug empire from his bedroom—and almost got away with it In 2011, a twenty-six-year-old libertarian programmer named Ross Ulbricht launched the ultimate free market: the Silk Road, a clandestine Web site hosted on the Dark Web where anyone could trade anything—drugs, hacking software, forged passports, counterfeit cash, poisons—free of the government’s watchful eye. It wasn’t long before the media got wind of the new Web site where anyone—not just teenagers and weed dealers but terrorists and black hat hackers—could buy and sell contraband detection-free. Spurred by a public outcry, the federal government launched an epic two-year manhunt for the site’s elusive proprietor, with no leads, no witnesses, and no clear jurisdiction. All the investigators knew was that whoever was running the site called himself the Dread Pirate Roberts. The Silk Road quickly ballooned into $1.2 billion enterprise, and Ross embraced his new role as kingpin. He enlisted a loyal crew of allies in high and low places, all as addicted to the danger and thrill of running an illegal marketplace as their customers were to the heroin they sold. Through his network he got wind of the target on his back and took drastic steps to protect himself—including ordering a hit on a former employee. As Ross made plans to disappear forever, the Feds raced against the clock to catch a man they weren’t sure even existed, searching for a needle in the haystack of the global Internet. Drawing on exclusive access to key players and two billion digital words and images Ross left behind, Vanity Fair correspondent and New York Times bestselling author Nick Bilton offers a tale filled with twists and turns, lucky breaks and unbelievable close calls. It’s a story of the boy next door’s ambition gone criminal, spurred on by the clash between the new world of libertarian-leaning, anonymous, decentralized Web advocates and the old world of government control, order, and the rule of law. Filled with unforgettable characters and capped by an astonishing climax, American Kingpin might be dismissed as too outrageous for fiction. But it’s all too real. |

| el traidor el diario secreto: The Wolfpack Peter Edwards, Luis Najera, 2022-05-31 Joined by award-winning Mexican journalist Luis Nájera, leading organized-crime author Peter Edwards introduces a motley assortment of millennial bikers, gangsters and Mafia whose bloody trail of murders and schemes gone wrong led to the arrival in Canada of the world's most dangerous criminal organizations: the drug cartels of Mexico. A man watching the Euro Cup on a restaurant patio is shot dead on a busy Sunday afternoon in Toronto. Another dies in a sidewalk ambush just outside a bustling college campus. Two men in a Vancouver hotel lobby are gunned down in an attack that sends an American soccer star scrambling for cover. In Mexico, a Canadian is killed at a Nuevo Vallarta coffee shop, his death barely registering amidst the terrifying death tolls of President Calderón’s war on drugs and the cartels’ response; while a Montreal cop is beaten within an inch of his life in a Playa del Carmen nightclub. An infamous heckler from an NBA Toronto Raptors game turns up dead in a bullet-riddled car in a midtown laneway. Throughout the 2010s, these and other disparate acts of violence entered the public awareness like isolated tragedies—but there was nothing isolated about them. In this masterly investigation, veteran journalists Peter Edwards and Luis Nájera introduce readers to the common cause of a near-decade of chaos. Meet the Wolfpack, millennial-aged gangsters from across the spectrum of Canada’s underworld. Vying to fast-track their way into the criminal void left by the death of Montreal godfather Vito Rizzuto, the Wolfpack sought advantage in a steady supply of cocaine from El Chapo Guzmán’s Sinaloa cartel, among the deadliest and most far-reaching of criminal organizations. The juniors had just stepped into the big leagues. This is the roiling landscape of The Wolfpack, a brilliant examination of a time of criminal disruption and rapid adaptation, when one gang’s unchecked ambition unwittingly gave away the most hotly contested corner of the Canadian underworld without a fight. Brazen criminal disruptors or entitled upstarts looking to get rich without paying their dues--whatever you think of them, you will never forget the Wolfpack. |

| el traidor el diario secreto: Aztec Autumn Gary Jennings, 2006-05-16 Gary Jennings's Aztec Autumn recreates a forgotten chapter of history in all its splendor and unforgettable passion. The magnificent Aztec empire has fallen beneath the brutal heal of the Spaniards. But one proud Aztec, Tenamaxtli, refuses to bow to his despised conquerors. He dreams of restoring the lost glory of the Aztec empire, and recruits an army of rebels to mount an insurrection against the seemingly invincible power of mighty Spain. Tenamaxtli's courageous quest takes us through high adventure, passionate women, unlikely allies, bright hope, bitter tragedy, and the essence of 16th century Mexico. This incredible rebellion has been little remembered, perhaps because it shed no glory on the men who would write the history book, but on its outcome depended the future of all North America.

| el traidor el diario secreto: The Dope: The Real History of the Mexican Drug Trade Benjamin T. Smith, 2021-08-10 A myth-busting, 100-year history of the Mexican drug trade that reveals how an industry founded by farmers and village healers became dominated by cartels and kingpins. The Mexican drug trade has inspired prejudiced narratives of a war between north and south, white and brown; between noble cops and vicious kingpins, corrupt politicians and powerful cartels. In this first comprehensive history of the trade, historian Benjamin T. Smith tells the real story of how and why this one-peaceful industry turned violent. He uncovers its origins and explains how this illicit business essentially built modern Mexico, affecting everything from agriculture to medicine to economics—and the country’s all-important relationship with the United States. Drawing on unprecedented archival research; leaked DEA, Mexican law enforcement, and cartel documents; and dozens of harrowing interviews, Smith tells a thrilling story brimming with vivid characters—from Ignacia “La Nacha” Jasso, “queen pin” of Ciudad Juárez, to Dr. Leopoldo Salazar Viniegra, the crusading physician who argued that marijuana was harmless and tried to decriminalize morphine, to Harry Anslinger, the Machiavellian founder of the American Federal Bureau of Narcotics, who drummed up racist drug panics to increase his budget. Smith also profiles everyday agricultural workers, whose stories reveal both the economic benefits and the human cost of the trade. The Dope contains many surprising conclusions about drug use and the failure of drug enforcement, all backed by new research and data. Smith explains the complicated dynamics that drive the current drug war violence, probes the U.S.-backed policies that have inflamed the carnage, and explores corruption on both sides of the border. A dark morality tale about the American hunger for intoxication and the necessities of human survival, The Dope is essential for understanding the violence in the drug war and how decades-old myths shape Mexico in the American imagination today. |
| el traidor el diario secreto: Frankenstein Unbound Brian W. Aldiss, 2015-05-19 A disruption of time and space sends a modern man back two hundred years to confront Dr. Frankenstein’s immortal monster in this brilliant reinvention of Mary Shelley’s classic tale Some years into the twenty-first century, a newly devised weapon of mass destruction will do far worse than kill; it will disrupt time and space. Suddenly, land, buildings, animals, and people are falling through “timeslips” and being transported briefly back to earlier eras. One of these inadvertent time travelers, Joe Bodenland, is shocked when he finds himself parked outside a villa on the shore of Lake Geneva—and soon after, unbelievably, in the presence of nineteenth-century literary luminaries Lord Byron and Percy Shelley, along with Shelley’s very enticing fiancée, budding author Mary. But when Joe comes face to face with a real, flesh-and-blood Victor Frankenstein and the monster the mad doctor brought into this world, the visitor from the future realizes that not only has time been disrupted, reality itself has been transmogrified. And this Frankenstein, it seems, is far from finished with his unholy endeavors, leaving it up to Joe to make it right for the sake of history—and for the bewitching lady novelist who has stolen his heart—before he is rudely thrust back to his own time. An absolutely stunning reinvention of a cherished literary classic, Frankenstein Unbound proves once more that there are no limits to the unparalleled creative genius of science fiction Grand Master W. Brian Aldiss, one of the most revered names in the field of speculative fiction. |
| el traidor el diario secreto: Mexico's Resilient Journalists Julieta Brambila, 2024-10-08 In recent decades, Mexico has been one of the most dangerous democracies for journalists. Their coverage of the war on drugs, abuses of power, and human rights violations has led to harassment, threats, and violence by powerful cartels and corrupt officials. This book provides a ground-level view of how Mexican journalists have navigated this perilous environment, offering insight into how they protect themselves while reporting on the most critical and sensitive subjects. Based on in-depth interviews with reporters, editors, activists, and officials, Mexico’s Resilient Journalists examines the strategies that media workers have employed in pursuit of both personal safety and the public interest. Julieta Brambila argues that Mexican journalists have developed innovative forms of resilience, highlighting their power and agency amid violence, censorship, and intimidation. She considers how journalists have banded together to develop coping mechanisms, protect each other, and raise public awareness. These resilient newsmakers have adapted to adversity by redefining their professional values and practices, rethinking their surroundings, and reassessing their role.

| el traidor el diario secreto: God's Spy Juan Gómez-Jurado, 2008-02-26 The #1 Spanish bestseller, sold in over 40 countries, a spectacular contemporary thriller set in the heart of the Vatican A ruthless serial killer, a chilling conspiracy, and a deadly race around the Vatican converge in this internationally bestselling thriller.

With a serial killer now on the loose in the Vatican, Police Inspector Paola Dicanti is assigned to the grisly case. Desperate to find the killer before another victim dies, she enlists the help of Father Anthony Fowler, a charismatic American priest who knows more about the killer than Paola could have imagined. As Paola and Father Anthony struggle through the web of tantalizing clues, the evidence leads them to powerful figures within the Church hierarchy. But their pursuit of the truth may make them the next pawns to be sacrificed in this terrifying and deadly game. |
| el traidor el diario secreto: Defeating Los Zetas Sergio Aguayo, Jacobo Dayán, 2021-02-12 The narrative regarding criminal violence in Mexico tends to highlight the negative, while minimizing success stories: this book is different. It explains the reasons why the region of La Laguna succeeded in reducing the statistics of homicides and missing persons and how it started to attend to the families of victims. There were two key factors: 1) federal, state, and local government pushing aside party differences in order to coordinate efforts, and 2) dialogue and response to the petitions of social actors. The result is the best security model in Mexico. |
| el traidor el diario secreto: The Goldsmith's Secret Elia Barcelo, 2013-11-05 One snowy night in New York City, a successful but solitary goldsmith reflects on his life, and his unreliable memories intertwine and collide. Returning to the village where he grew up, he hopes with some trepidation that he will encounter Celia, the Black Widow, a beautiful and mysterious friend of his mother with whom he had a short and passionate affair when he was a teenager, before she rejected him. But instead he meets a young woman who opens doors onto a strange world, and takes him back in time. The Goldsmith's Secret is a remarkable story with a magical twist, of a love trapped between two parallel times, set Spain in the fifties, seventies, and in the last year of the twentieth century. In beautifully economical language, and with a structure as intricate and refined as a bevelled jewel, The Goldsmith's Secret is filled with intense nostalgia, memories and desires. Elia Barcelo has come to be known across Europe as a truly original voice, and her books as poetic works of great subtlety. |
| el traidor el diario secreto: La historia secreta Anabel Hernández, 2024-05-07 «Esta periodista, Anabel Hernández, ha hecho trabajos de investigación de primer orden, es una mujer profesional en el periodismo y valiente, es una mujer excepcional.» -Andrés Manuel López Obrador Todo indica que en realidad AMLO no era el hombre que venía a romper el sistema criminal, sino que ha sido su Caballo de Troya, uno más de los instrumentos del Cártel de Sinaloa para culminar su plan de conquista de nuestra nación. Esta investigación periodística está basada en decenas de testimonios recabados entre 2020 y 2024 en diversos países. En expedientes judiciales de cortes federales de Estados Unidos y documentos internos de la Fiscalía del Distrito Sur de Nueva York y la DEA relacionados con la investigación que realizaron en 2010 y 2011 sobre la campaña presidencial de AMLO en 2006. Así como en expedientes de la FGR en México. Recabé el testimonio de 20 personas clave, tanto del círculo cercano a AMLO que lo ha acompañado en su carrera política desde la jefatura de gobierno de la Ciudad de México, como miembros de su equipo de campaña en 2006, 2012 y 2018. Hablécon funcionarios estadounidenses de sus hallazgos sobre la primera vez que López Obrador buscó la presidencia, así como con Nicolás Mollinedo Bastar, quien afirmó ser la persona de mayor confianza de AMLO de 2000 a 2014. También entrevisté a cinco exmiembros del Cártel de Sinaloa en distintas ciudades y años, en su mayoría son testigos colaboradores de la justicia en Estados Unidos en diversas investigaciones en curso; otros están en cárceles pagando su condena. Las versiones de los entrevistados coinciden y se complementan entre sí, todas apuntando en la misma dirección: en las tres campañas presidenciales de López Obrador hubo apoyo económico u operativo del Cártel de Sinaloa, con el conocimiento del ahora presidente, quien incluso habría estado presente en al menos una de las entregas de dinero. La reconfirmación que dio punto final a mi indagatoria ocurrió a fines de 2023 y los primeros días de 2024, por eso ahora puedo publicar los resultados. No hay timing ni razón válida para posponer la divulgación de los vínculos de autoridades con el crimen organizado cuando en México estas complicidades resultan en la muerte, desaparición o sufrimiento de cientos de personas todos los días. Por eso, aquí revelo la historia secreta. -Anabel Hernández |

| el traidor el diario secreto: Global Trafficking Networks on Film and Television César Albarrán-Torres, 2021-03-07 This book draws on a multi-method study of film and television narratives of global criminal networks to explore the links between audiovisual media, criminal networks and global audiences in the age of digital content distribution. Mapping out media representations of the ongoing war on drugs in Mexico and the United States, the author delves into the social, cultural and geopolitical impacts of distribution and consumption of these media. With a particular emphasis on the globalized Mexican cartels, this book investigates three areas – gender and racial representation in film and television, the digital distribution of content through the internet and streaming services such as Hulu and Netflix, and depictions of extreme violence in film, television and online spaces – to identify whether there are fundamental similarities and differences in how Hollywood productions reproduce stereotypes about race, gender and extreme violence. Some of the movies and television series analysed are Breaking Bad, Ozark, Weeds, Rambo: Last Blood, No Country for Old Men, Sicario and the Netflix series Narcos, Narcos: Mexico and El Chapo. Taking a unique interdisciplinary approach to the study of cartels in the media, this book will be of interest to students and scholars of media studies, film, television, security studies, Latin American and cultural studies. |
| el traidor el diario secreto: La sangre desconocida Vicente Alfonso, 2022-10-11 «No sólo el cartel está manchado de sangre, también lo está el vestido que Mamá Flor guarda como recuerdo de su hija. [...] Cuando la muchacha no volvió, Mamá Flor intentó lavarlo y remendarlo. Pero nada es tan difícil de limpiar como la sangre.» 1971: la pequeña ciudad estadounidense de Camel City se cimbra cuando la heredera de un emporio multimillonario desaparece de su habitación en un exclusivo internado para señoritas. En los hechos podría estar involucrada su vecina de cuarto, una mexicana llamada Rosario Navarro. Mientras el ambiente político se enrarece, la policía sigue pistas cada vez más ominosas. 1973: en Sinaloa, el profesor de Derecho Bernardo Ayala intenta disuadir a sus alumnos de enlistarse en las filas de la Liga 23 de septiembre, organización guerrillera que ve en las armas la única posibilidad de futuro ante un Estado represor. Cuarenta años más tarde, siguiendo su frustrado anhelo de tener hijos, un joven matrimonio se cruza en el camino con Mamá Flor, una enigmática partera quien les suplica que le ayuden a buscar a su hija desaparecida. La sangre desconocida es una novela donde pocas cosas son lo que parecen, cuya lectura nos incita a replantear nuestras ideas en torno a la identidad y la legalidad. La critica dice: «La prosa vital, indignada e inteligente de Vicente Alfonso ha sabido retratar las mejores luchas del México de los cincuenta para acá y gracias a él y a su capacidad creativa, sus lectores preferimos Chilpancingo a París. » - Elena Poniatowska «Vicente Alfonso no cumple con las expectativas. Las supera y a continuación las pasa por alto ingeniosamente con una verdad completamente diferente. El caso está resuelto, sin embargo, sigue habiendo mucho por ver. Apasionante. » - Rudolf Neumaier , Süddeutsche Zeitung , Múnich «Este talentoso autor le dejará enganchado a su historia. Recomiendo comenzar su lectura muy pronto por la mañana, pues al atardecer, como me sucedió, estaremos intoxicados y encantados con el fin de la historia. » - Flemming Behrens, Buchhandlung Hugendubel , Pinneberg «Huesos de San Lorenzo fascina, arrastra, inquieta, distorsiona la realidad. Una lectura obligatoria para aquellos que quieren ponerse a prueba y quieren jugar con el autor para tratar de averiguar lo que realmente ocurre. Una perfecta novela-hechizo. » - Il Giro del mondo attraverso i libri , Italia |
| el traidor el diario secreto: Antisemitism - Its History and Causes Bernard Lazare, 2023-11-28 This book deals with the origin and development of anti-Judaism and incidentally refers much of the history of Israel to this sentiment. One great cause of antisemitism the author finds in Jewish commercialism. Other causes exist in the exclusiveness, the persistent patriotism and pride of Israel. Jewish influences, in spite of race prejudices have been powerful in the councils of nations. Even Napoleon lent an ear to them, and suspended during one year judicial decisions in behalf of the Jewish usurers of the Rhine provinces. The modern aspects of antisemitism are carefully considered by the author. The instinctive, the legal, the Christian, the Christian-socialist, the metaphysical, as well as the ethnological and national phases are successively taken up. In one chapter the causes of antisemitism are set down, and there and in subsequent chapters make excellent reading. In conclusion the author forecasts the ruin of antisemitism because it carries in itself the germ of destruction. In preparing the way for Socialism and Communism it is laboring at the elimination not only of the economic cause, but also of the religious and ethnic causes to which it owes its own growth. |
