| guillermo arriaga el salvaje epub: El salvaje Guillermo Arriaga, 2016-10-28 Premio Mazatlán de Literatura 2017 al mejor libro del año. Esta ambiciosa novela confirma a Arriaga como uno de los escritores más potentes, intensos y originales de la literatura contemporánea. A sus diecisiete años Juan Guillermo se ha quedado huérfano y completamente solo. Tres años atrás, Carlos, su hermano mayor, ha sido asesinado por unos fanáticos religiosos; abatidos por el pesar, sus padres y su abuela mueren. En el extremo de la rabia y la desesperación, Juan Guillermo jura vengarse. El problema es que los jóvenes religiosos están muy bien organizados, gozan del respaldo de gente poderosa, portan armas, han entrenado artes marciales y, para colmo, están coludidos con Zurita, un comandante de la policía judicial. Con esta permanente sensación de vendetta convive una entrañable historia de amor que impide que el protagonista se deslice hacia el vórtice de la autodestrucción. En paralelo corre la historia de Amaruq, un hombre que en los helados bosques del Yukón se obsesiona en perseguir a un lobo y cuya travesía lo conduce hacia las profundidades de la locura y la muerte. Otros autores han opinado: Entonces, una mañana del 2000, en la página de cultura del Washington Post vi una foto gigantesca de Guillermo; abajo, en letras de un millón de puntos, se anunciaba la exclusiva con el escritor más candente de México, que pasaba por Estados Unidos promoviendo Amores perros. -Álvaro Enrigue, Letras Libres- Un autor absolutamente único. Una novela palpitante. -Guadalupe Nettel- El Salvaje es uno de los mejores libros que he leído, no sólo en este sino en los últimos años. -Santiago Gamboa- La crítica ha opinado: Una de sus obras más personales. - Vanguardia, México- Sublime Arriaga. El Salvaje consagra a su autor como el mejor escritor mexicano actual y como una figura indiscutible de las letras universales. [...] No os lo penséis y leedlo: vuestro espíritu os lo agradecerá. -Gabri Ródenas, Zenda- En El Salvaje, Arriaga sintetiza toda su obra anterior y reconstruye su mundo estético: la violencia urbana, la cacería, la soledad, el amor, los celos y la lucha por cambiar el destino de las personas. Una obra que interroga sobre la vida. - Cambio 16- El Salvaje vuelve a enseñar la maestría de Arriaga como tejedor de historias paralelas que acaban confluyendo. Una marca personal. -Álvaro Soto, El Correo- Una historia memorable, de esas que se quedan con nosotros y acaban por confundirse con la vida misma. El salvaje es la vida misma y es también una metáfora, una operación retórica en la que el perdón y el amor sumados dan como resultado una bien ganada libertad. -Julio Trujillo, La Razón, México- Arriaga demuestra ser gran director a la par que gran escritor. -Roberto Piorno, Guía del Ocio- Lo que han dicho otros autores... El Salvaje es uno de los mejores libros que he leído, no sólo en este sino en los últimos años. -Santiago Gamboa |

| guillermo arriaga el salvaje epub: Nature, Empire, and Nation Jorge Cañizares-Esguerra, 2006 This collection of essays explores two traditions of interpreting and manipulating nature in the early-modern and nineteenth-century Iberian world: one instrumental and imperial, the other patriotic and national. Imperial representations laid the ground for the epistemological transformations of the so-called Scientific Revolutions. The patriotic narratives lie at the core of the first modern representations of the racialized body, Humboldtian theories of biodistribution, and views of the landscape as a historical text representing different layers of historical memory. |
| guillermo arriaga el salvaje epub: The Mexican Revolution: Volume 1, Porfirians, Liberals and Peasants Alan Knight, 1986-04-24 Alan Knight's comprehensive two-volume history of the Mexican Revolution presents a new interpretation of one of the world's most important revolutions. While it reflects the many facets of this complex and far-reaching historical subject it emphasises its fundamentally local, popular and agrarian character and locates it within a more general comparative context. Volume I analyses the Porfirian old regime - its politics and ideology and the patterns of socio-economic and, above all, agrarian change which the regime encouraged, within the dynamic context of global capitalism. it shows how these factors combined to produce the 1910 revolution, in which a resurgent urban liberalism joined in uneasy alliance with popular rebellion. Triumphant in 1911, the alliance collapsed in 1911-13, as the liberal experiment was undermined by popular revolt and finally terminated by counter-revolutionary coup. Volume 2 begins with the army counter-revolution of 1913, which ended the liberal experiment, installed military rule and gave renewed stimulus to revolutionary mobilisation, in which the forces of Villa and Zapata were prominent. Dr Knight recounts and analyses the major campaigns of 1913-14 and offers a fresh interpretation of the great schism of 1914-15, which divided the Revolution in its moment of victory, and which led to the final bout of civil war between the forces of Villa and Carranza. He considers the manner and significance of Carranza's ultimate triumph, and ponders the essential question: what had the Revolution changed? |

Somers' feminism is profound, and complicated. --NPR A surreal, nightmarish book about women's struggle for autonomy--and how that struggle is (always, inevitably) met with violence. --Carmen Maria Machado, author of Her Body and Other Parties A groundbreaking feminist classic from 1950s Uruguay, The Naked Woman was met with scandal and outrage due to its erotic content, cynicism, and stylistic ingenuity.

| guillermo arriaga el salvaje epub: More Than a Woman Caitlin Moran, 2020-09-15 The author of the international bestseller How to Be a Woman returns with another “hilarious neo-feminist manifesto” (NPR) in which she reflects on parenting, middle-age, marriage, existential crises—and, of course, feminism. A decade ago, Caitlin Moran burst onto the scene with her instant bestseller, How to Be a Woman, a hilarious and resonant take on feminism, the patriarchy, and all things womanhood. Moran’s seminal book followed her from her terrible 13th birthday through adolescence, the workplace, strip-clubs, love, and beyond—and is considered the inaugural work of the irreverent confessional feminist memoir genre that continues to occupy a major place in the cultural landscape. Since that publication, it’s been a glorious ten years for young women: Barack Obama loves Fleabag, and Dior make “FEMINIST” t-shirts. However, middle-aged women still have some nagging, unanswered questions: Can feminists have Botox? Why isn’t there such a thing as “Mum Bod”? Why do hangovers suddenly hurt so much? Is the camel-toe the new erogenous zone? Why do all your clothes suddenly hate you? Has feminism gone too far? Will your To Do List ever end? And WHO’S LOOKING AFTER THE CHILDREN? As timely as it is hysterically funny, this memoir/manifesto will have readers laughing out loud, blinking back tears, and redefining their views on feminism and the patriarchy. More Than a Woman is a brutally honest, scathingly funny, and absolutely necessary take on the life of the modern woman—and one that only Caitlin Moran can provide. |

Constantly bickering, the pair are beset by worries about money, their writing, and their son (who may or may not be plying the oldest profession in Marrakesh). When Julio's boyhood best friend, now a famous artist, lends the couple his luxurious Madrid apartment for the summer, it is an escape for both - but in particular for Julio, who fantasizes about the garden next door and the erotic life of the lovely young aristocratic woman who inhabits it. But Julio's life - and career - unravel In Madrid: he is rebuffed by a famous literary agent, Nuria Monclus, who detests him and his novel; his son's friend from Marrakesh moves in and causes havoc; and Gloria begins to drink. In the face of pitiless adversity, Julio's talent inexorably begins to fade. The garden next door, however, is also Gloria, who has been doing some creating of her own. It is this twist that transforms Donoso's brilliant satire of the writer's life into something even greater: a carefully crafted and bitteily comic meditation on gardens, deceit, and the nature of a writer's muse. |

Three of her most important lectures are presented in this book. Her views have changed the systems of education in her own country, Mexico, and have had a radical impact on education in Brazil, where she is the recipient of the country's highest distinction. Her ideas have ideological and political implications for policies regarding publishing (including the publishing of textbooks), access to books and the development of readers all over the world. Although poor countries have not overcome illiteracy, rich countries are finding that a basic education does not guarantee fully functional readers. While some of us are fluent in the language of hypertext, e-mail and the virtual pages of non-existent books, there are others who have not mastered newspapers or books. If democracy is incompatible with an illiterate citizenry, full democracy requires an ability to read that goes beyond the deciphering of words. This ability is the right of children who will grow up as free citizens in a world where linguistic and cultural diversity are as important as biodiversity.--BOOK JACKET. |

| guillermo arriaga el salvaje epub: The Mexican Revolution Adolfo Gilly, 2006 The classic account of the mexican revolution from the acclaimed author. First published in Spanish in 1971, The Mexican Revolution has been praised by Mexico's Nobel Prize-winning author Octavio Paz as a notable contribution to history and is widely recognized as a seminal account of the Mexican Revolution. Written during the author's time as a political prisoner in the famous penitentiary of Lecumberri in Mexico, it sold thousands of copies in its first edition, becoming widely accepted as the official textbook by history faculties in Mexico despite Gilly's continued incarceration. It has gone through more than thirty editions in Mexico and been translated into French and Greek. This is a comprehensively revised and updated edition of the original text with a foreword by Latin American history scholar Friedrich Katz and a new preface to the English edition by the author. A true people's history, The Mexican Revolution is a stirring, bottom-up account of an event whose reverberations are still felt throughout Latin America and the rest of the world. What you didn't know about the Mexican Revolution: - In December 1914 the peasant armies of Pancho Villa and Emiliano Zapata conquered Mexico City and established a peasant government there. - Mexico's 1917 constitution granted the right of peasants and peasant communities to own the land they tilled. - Mexico's 1917 constitution established an eight-hour workday, a minimum wage, the rights to establish unions and to collectively bargain, and a right to strike--rights not seen in the United States until the 1930s and later. |
