| libro de popeye sobre pablo escobar: El verdadero Pablo Astrid María Legarda Martínez, 2015-10-21 Hola linda, yo soy Popeye En 1998, conocí a Jhon Jairo Velásquez Vásquez, alias Popeye,lugarteniente del Jefe del Cartel de Medellín, Pablo Escobar Gaviria. Este primer encuentro se dio en el patio de alta seguridad de la cárcel Modelo en Bogotá. Yo visitaba el centro de reclusión con frecuencia, como periodista del canal R.C.N TELEVISIÓN. Permanentemente estaba realizando entrevistas o dialogando con los reclusos para registrar noticias de lo que pasaba dentro de la cárcel. En esa época, los enfrentamientos entre guerrilleros y autodefensas, eran pan de cada día. Diariamente se escuchaban las balaceras dentro de la prisión, los diferentes bandos peleaban por su control. Siempre quise conocer a alguno de los miembros del Cartel de Medellín, tenía curiosidad de saber quiénes eran, cómo lucían y qué pensaban estos hombres que pertenecieron al más poderoso cartel de drogas que haya existido en Colombia. En este patio pude hablar con dos de ellos. El más representativo, Jhon Jairo Velásquez Vásquez, alias Popeye... |
| libro de popeye sobre pablo escobar: The true life of Pablo Escobar Astrid Maria Legarda Martinez, 2017-11-24 Hello beautiful. I am Popeye. In 1998 I met Jhon Jairo Velásquez Vásquez—alias Popeye—lieutenant to the Medellín Cartel's leader, Pablo Escobar Gaviria. Our first encounter was at the high security yard of the Modelo Prison in Bogotá, Colombia. I visited the prison frequently as a journalist for RCN TV. I was always conducting interviews and speaking to the inmates, uncovering news about what was really happening inside the prison. At that time, stories about confrontations between guerrilla and paramilitary factions were everyday news. You could often hear shots inside the prison as the different sides fought for control. I had always wanted to meet one of the members of the Medellín Cartel. I was curious to know who they were, what they looked like, and what these men, who belonged to the most powerful drug cartel that has ever existed in Colombia, were thinking. At the high security yard I was able to talk with two of them. The most notorious was Jhon Jairo Velásquez Vásquez. Hello beautiful. I am Popeye. The man who sat in front of me stared at me. His pale skin reflected the six years he had been in prison; in fact, it looked as if he had never once stepped outside. Popeye smiled at me with curiosity while his cold eyes examined me from head to toe. We were introduced by another inmate, Ángel Gaitán Mahecha, a man accused of paramilitarism and homicide. My first impression was surprise and curiosity; I also examined him from head to toe. He wasn't quite six feet tall. His slim body and the smile on his face almost put me at ease. I thought this man couldn't possibly frighten anyone, and yet I couldn't forget the number of homicides in which he had been involved. I wanted to see into the mind of the man who planned and participated in the most horrible homicides that the cartel had carried out in their war against the state. |
| libro de popeye sobre pablo escobar: The Memory of Pablo Escobar James Mollison, Rainbow Nelson, 2007 The extraordinary story of the richest and most violent gangster in history--from his youth, his bid for political power, his domination of the world's cocaine trade, his campaign against the Colombian state during which thousands died, his imprisonment in a luxurious private jail, his escape, through to his eventual capture and shooting--is told in hundreds of photographs gathered by photographer James Mollison in Colombia. Exhaustively researched, this visual biography includes photographs from Escobar family albums, pictures by Escobar's bodyguards, pictures from police files (both shot by the police and taken in raids on Escobar's premises) and snapshots by the Federal Drug Administration officer who helped hunt Escobar down. The book's illuminating text draws on new interviews with family members, other gangsters, Colombian police and judges and other survivors of Escobar's killing sprees, supplemented by contemporary photographs by Mollison of Escobar's fleet of planes, his private zoo, arms caches captured by the police--and even Escobar's prison jukebox. A compelling picture story and a landmark in visual journalism. |

| libro de popeye sobre pablo escobar: Women & Power Mary Beard, 2017-11-02 An updated edition of the Sunday Times Bestseller Britain's best-known classicist Mary Beard, is also a committed and vocal feminist. With wry wit, she revisits the gender agenda and shows how history has treated powerful women. Her examples range from the classical world to the modern day, from Medusa and Athena to Theresa May and Hillary Clinton. Beard explores the cultural underpinnings of misogyny, considering the public voice of women, our cultural assumptions about women's relationship with power, and how powerful women resist being packaged into a male template. A year on since the advent of #metoo, Beard looks at how the discussions have moved on during this time, and how that intersects with issues of rape and consent, and the stories men tell themselves to support their actions. In trademark Beardian style, using examples ancient and modern, Beard argues, 'it's time for change - and now!' From the author of international bestseller SPQR: A History of Ancient Rome. |
| libro de popeye sobre pablo escobar: Corruption in Cuba Sergio Díaz-Briquets, Jorge Pérez-López, 2006-10-01 While Fidel Castro maintains his longtime grip on Cuba, revolutionary scholars and policy analysts have turned their attention from how Castro succeeded (and failed), to how Castro himself will be succeeded - by a new government. This is a comprehensive analysis of corruption in Cuba, and prescriptions for minimizing it in the post-Castro era. While Fidel Castro maintains his longtime grip on Cuba, revolutionary scholars and policy analysts have turned their attention from how Castro succeeded (and failed), to how Castro himself will be succeeded - by a new government. Among the many questions to be answered is how the new government will deal with the corruption that has become endemic in Cuba. Even though combating corruption cannot be the central aim of post-Castro policy, Sergio Diaz-Briquets and Jorge Perez-Lopez suggest that, without a strong plan to thwart it, corruption will undermine the new economy, erode support for the new government, and encourage organized crime. In short, unless measures are taken to stem corruption, the new Cuba could be as messy as the old Cuba. Fidel Castro did not bring corruption to Cuba; he merely institutionalized it. Official corruption has crippled Cuba since the colonial period, but Castro's state-run monopolies, cronyism, and lack of accountability have made Cuba one of the world's most corrupt states |

| libro de popeye sobre pablo escobar: Cocaine King Pablo Escobar J.D. Rockefeller, 2016-03-17 Crimes that involve drugs are rampant nowadays all over the world, and hence the increasing drug dealers and pushers out there who seem to look at smuggling drugs as the only and easiest way to get all the richness and wealth in life. You will notice from here and everywhere that people are getting involved in abusing drugs which happen to be the reason for the increasing number of crimes committed by people involved in drugs. No matter how tight enforcement law is and how much authorities regulate the use and dealing of drugs, there are still people who are bale to smuggle drugs without being caught. Believe it or not, Pablo Escobar best defines how cruel and violent drugs or cocaine is, causing people to do everything, even killing, just to gain wealth! Usually, people become well-known like a celebrity because of the wealth, recognition of the great works or excellent leadership, but not in the case the cocaine king, Pablo Escobar. He has been famous more like a celebrity due to his numerous crimes, drug dealerships and strategic escapes. Who could ever imagine that a person who is considered the most high-profile criminal could carry out a number of escapes from the authorities and continue with his drug syndication? Pablo Escobar has indeed made a big name for being the most powerful and influential cocaine king! In United States, illegal drugs are usually associated with crimes in various ways. Most often, drugs dealers aid increase in crime activities by manufacturing, possessing or even distributing drugs classified as potential for abuse that include heroin, cocaine, heroin, amphetamine and morphine. Crimes such as drug trafficking as well as drug production are usually controlled by gangs, drug pushers or cartels, just like what Escobar and his organization do. A crime that is caused by using and trafficking drugs commonly includes sexual assaults or robbery. According to research, drug-related crime such as drug misuse is related to different crimes associated with the feeling of invincibility, which can be pronounced as abuse. Moreover, problematic crimes that are associated with drugs usually include property crime, shoplifting, violence, drug dealing, aggression as well as driving while intoxicated. In relation to this, there is no doubt that Escobar's great leadership in cocaine and drug pushing has increased crimes committed in different cities and neighboring countries. He was able to encourage more people to work with him smuggling drugs. |
| libro de popeye sobre pablo escobar: The Double Life of Fidel Castro Juan Reinaldo Sanchez, Axel Gyldén, 2016-07-19 In The Double Life of Fidel Castro, one of Castro’s soldiers of seventeen years breaks his silence and shares his memoirs of his years of service, his eventual imprisonment and torture for displeasing the notorious dictator, and his dramatic escape from Cuba. Responsible for protecting the Líder Máximo for two decades, Juan Reinaldo Sánchez was party to his secret life: from the ghost town in which guerrillas from several continents were trained; to Castro’s immense personal fortune, including a huge property portfolio, a secret paradise island, and seizure of public money; as well as his relationship with his family and his nine children from five different partners. Sánchez’s tell-all exposé reveals countless state secrets and the many sides of the Cuban monarch: genius war leader in Nicaragua and Angola, paranoid autocrat at home, master spy, Machiavellian diplomat, and accomplice to drug traffickers. This extraordinary testimony makes us reexamine everything we thought we knew about the Cuban story and Fidel Castro Ruz. |

| libro de popeye sobre pablo escobar: Manhunters Steve Murphy, Javier F. Peña, 2019-11-18 The explosive memoir of the two legendary drug enforcement agents responsible for taking down Pablo Escobar and the subject of the hit Netflix series ‘Narcos’. Javier Peña and Steve Murphy risked their lives hunting large and small drug traffickers in the decades they spent working for the US Drug Enforcement Administration. But their biggest challenge was the hunt for Pablo Escobar in Colombia. The partners, who began their careers as small-town cops, have been immortalised in Netflix’s ‘Narcos’, a fictionalised account of their hunt for Escobar. Now, for the first time, they tell the real story of how they brought down the world’s first narco-terrorist and ended the reign of terror of the world’s most wanted criminal. Manhunters takes you deep inside the inner workings of the Search Bloc, the joint Colombian-US task force that resulted in an intensive 18-month operation that tracked Escobar. Between July 1992 and December 1993, Peña and Murphy lived on the edge, setting up camp in Medellin at the Carlos Holguin Military Academy. There, they lived and worked with the Colombian authorities, hunting down a man thought to be untouchable. Their terrifying first-hand experience coupled with stories from the DEA’s de-classified files on the search for Escobar forms the beating heart of Manhunters, a gripping account of how two determined and courageous agents risked everything to capture the world's most wanted man. Praise for Manhunters ‘A riveting account of two brave DEA Agents who put their lives, along with their families’ lives, on the line to fight the war on drugs. A must read on the take down of Pablo Escobar.’ Joe Pistone, a.k.a. Donnie Brasco ‘A fast-paced tale by two agents who had the inside track on bringing down the most wanted man in recent US history.’ Bruce Porter, New York Times bestselling author of Blow ‘Steve and Javier's experience on the front lines of the war on drugs over the last thirty years made them an invaluable source of information for a narrative of one of the most complex, poorly reported, and misunderstood chapters in our recent past.’ Eric Newman, Executive Producer, ‘Narcos’ ‘Manhunters grabs you from the first page and gives you a front-row seat into the harrowing hunt for the brutal narco trafficker Pablo Escobar. Two unlikely heroes recount their stories in a way that is both compelling and captivating.’ Congresswoman Mary Bono ‘A compelling read about the adventures of two true American law enforcement heroes who ultimately took on the world’s first narco-terrorist, the world’s most wanted criminal, the world’s largest cocaine baron, Pablo Escobar, and won!’ Barbara Comstock, former congresswoman |
| libro de popeye sobre pablo escobar: Arts of Perception Jeremy Robbins, 2013-05-13 Arts of Perception offers a new account of a key period in Spanish history and culture and a fundamental reassessment of its major writers and intellectuals, including Gracián, Quevedo, Calderón, Saavedra Fajardo, López de Vega, and Sor Juana. Reading these figures in the context of European thought and the new science, and philosophy, the study considers how they developed various ‘arts of perception’ - complex perceptual strategies designed to overcome and exploit epistemic problems to enable an individual to act effectively in the moral, political, social or religious sphere. The study takes as its subject the distinctive epistemological mentality behind such ‘arts of perception’. This mentality was fostered by the creative interaction of scepticism and Stoicism, and found expression in the key concepts ser/parecer and engaño/desengaño. The work traces the emergence, development, and impact of these concepts on Spanish thought and culture. As well as offering new interpretations of specific major figures, Arts of Perception offers an interpretation of the mentality of an entire culture as it made the fraught transition to intellectual modernity. As such it ranges over numerous discourses and formative contexts and provides a wealth of new material which will be of use to all those seeking to understand and interpret the literature, culture and thought of Golden Age Spain. This book was previously published as a special issue of The Bulletin of Spanish Studies. |

| libro de popeye sobre pablo escobar: An Intellectual History of Cannibalism Cătălin Avramescu, 2011-08-08 The cannibal has played a surprisingly important role in the history of thought--perhaps the ultimate symbol of savagery and degradation-- haunting the Western imagination since before the Age of Discovery, when Europeans first encountered genuine cannibals and related horrible stories of shipwrecked travelers eating each other. An Intellectual History of Cannibalism is the first book to systematically examine the role of the cannibal in the arguments of philosophers, from the classical period to modern disputes about such wide-ranging issues as vegetarianism and the right to private property. Catalin Avramescu shows how the cannibal is, before anything else, a theoretical creature, one whose fate sheds light on the decline of theories of natural law, the emergence of modernity, and contemporary notions about good and evil. This provocative history of ideas traces the cannibal's appearance throughout Western thought, first as a creature springing from the menagerie of natural law, later as a diabolical retort to theological dogmas about the resurrection of the body, and finally to present-day social, ethical, and political debates in which the cannibal is viewed through the lens of anthropology or invoked in the service of moral relativism. Ultimately, An Intellectual History of Cannibalism is the story of the birth of modernity and of the philosophies of culture that arose in the wake of the Enlightenment. It is a book that lays bare the darker fears and impulses that course through the Western intellectual tradition. |
| libro de popeye sobre pablo escobar: Even Silence Has an End Ingrid Betancourt, 2011-08-30 Betancourt's riveting account...is an unforgettable epic of moral courage and human endurance. -Los Angeles Times In the midst of her campaign for the Colombian presidency in 2002, Ingrid Betancourt traveled into a military-controlled region, where she was abducted by the FARC, a brutal terrorist guerrilla organization in conflict with the government. She would spend the next six and a half years captive in the depths of the Colombian jungle. Even Silence Has an End is her deeply moving and personal account of that time. The facts of her story are astounding, but it is Betancourt's indomitable spirit that drives this very special narrative-an intensely intelligent, thoughtful, and compassionate reflection on what it really means to be human. |
| libro de popeye sobre pablo escobar: Escobar Roberto Escobar, Roberto Escobar Gaviria, 2010-02-04 Murderer, philanthropist, drug dealer, politician, devil, saint: many words have been used to describe Pablo Escobar, but one is irrefutable - legend. For the poor of Colombia, he was their Robin Hood, a man whose greatness lay not in his crimes, but in his charity; for the Colombian rich he was just a bloodthirsty gangster, a Bogie Man used to scare children in their beds; for the rest of the world flush with his imported cocaine, he was public enemy number one. During his reign as the world's most notorious outlaw, he ordered the murder of thousands - at one point even bombing a passenger jet - smuggled drugs into the US in mini-submarines inspired by Bond films, was elected to parliament, staged midnight escapes through the jungle from whole army battalions, built his own prison, consorted with presidents, controlled an estimated fortune of over $20 billion, and for over 3 years outwitted the secret American forces sent to kill him. His ambition was as boundless as his violence, and neither was ever satisfied. This is the first major, and definitive, biography of this remarkable criminal life, told in jaw-dropping detail by the one man who, more than any other, can understand just how far he came and just how low he fell: his brother, Roberto Escobar. |
| libro de popeye sobre pablo escobar: Pablo Escobar Shaun Attwood, 2016-08-25 The mind-blowing true story of Pablo Escobar and the Medellin Cartel beyond their portrayal on Netflix. Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar was a devoted family man and a psychopathic killer; a terrible enemy, yet a wonderful friend. While donating millions to the poor, he bombed and tortured his enemies - some had their eyeballs removed with hot spoons. Through ruthless cunning and America's insatiable appetite for cocaine, he became a multi-billionaire, who lived in a $100-million house with its own zoo. Pablo Escobar: Beyond Narcos demolishes the standard good versus evil telling of his story. The authorities were not hunting Pablo down to stop his cocaine business. They were taking over it. Shaun Attwood's War on Drugs trilogy - Pablo Escobar, American Made, and We Are Being Lied To - is a series of harrowing, action-packed and interlinked true stories that demonstrate the catastrophic consequences of drug prohibition. |

| libro de popeye sobre pablo escobar: El secreto mejor guardado de Fidel José Manuel Martín Medem, 2023-04-26 La enorme figura histórica de Fidel Castro ha dividido a lo largo de ya más de medio siglo —e incluso dentro de la propia izquierda— a partidarios y detractores. La identificación de la Revolución Cubana con su persona, su omnipresencia política en todo lo que de alguna importancia haya tenido lugar en la isla, obliga a fijar en él la responsabilidad de cuanto ha sido y es esa revolución, y de todo cuanto desde 1959 haya sido relevante en Cuba. Este libro es la historia de un episodio siniestro que tuvo lugar al final de la década de los ochenta. De un episodio del que probablemente ningún dirigente cubano, ni quizá el propio Fidel, se sienta íntimamente orgulloso: del fusilamiento del general y héroe de la Revolución, Arnaldo Ochoa, y del coronel Tony de la Guardia, responsable de las operaciones secretas cubanas para la ruptura del bloqueo estadounidense. ¿Por qué Fidel ordenó fusilar al militar más popular del ejército cubano, al general de la guerra de Angola? ¿Qué ocurrió en las negociaciones de 1989 entre Cuba, México y Estados Unidos? ¿De quién fue la imprudencia de vincular a Cuba en las operaciones de narcotráfico del cartel de Medellín? José Manuel Martín Medem, durante años corresponsal de RTVE en Cuba, México y Colombia, ha reunido información sobre el secreto mejor guardado de Fidel, de forma que ahora, tras veinticinco años y con nuevos y reveladores testimonios de militares y dirigentes cubanos involucrados en aquellos sucesos, se pueda revisar y contestar la versión oficial de lo sucedido, así como juzgar mejor en la historia lo que Castro ha sido para los cubanos. |
| libro de popeye sobre pablo escobar: Tokyo Vice Jake Adelstein, 2010-02-01 Now a hit HBO Max TV series starring Ansel Elgort, Ken Watanabe & Rachel Keller From the only American journalist ever to have been admitted to the insular Tokyo Metropolitan Police Press Club, here is a unique, firsthand, revelatory look at Japanese culture from the underbelly up. At the age of nineteen, Jake Adelstein went to Japan in search of peace and tranquillity. What he got was a life of crime … crime reporting, that is, at the prestigious Yomiuri Shimbun. For twelve years of eighty-hour work weeks, he covered the seedy side of Japan, where extortion, murder, human trafficking, and corruption are as familiar as ramen noodles and sake. But when his final scoop brought him face to face with Japan’s most infamous yakuza boss — and with the threat of death for him and his family — Adelstein decided to step down … momentarily. Then, he fought back. In Tokyo Vice, Adelstein tells the riveting, often humorous tale of his transformation from an inexperienced cub reporter to a daring investigative journalist with a price on his head. With its vivid, visceral descriptions of crime in Japan and candid exploration of the world of modern-day yakuza that even few Japanese ever see, Tokyo Vice is a fascination, and an education, from first to last. |
| libro de popeye sobre pablo escobar: Crónica de una paz incierta Aitor Sáez, 2019-05-17 El plebiscito abrió la brecha entre las dos Colombias, la que vivió el conflicto y la que no. La histórica paz se diluyó en las tinieblas hasta adquirir una connotación incluso negativa. Se trata de los relatos de posguerra de un conflicto de más de medio siglo. Hasta hace muy poco tiempo habría sido impensable acceder a cuatro campamentos de las FARC (antes y después de su dejación de armas), a las filas del ELN, con los cocaleros, laboratorios de narcos, con disidencias guerrilleras, zonas fronterizas de contrabando, o simplemente a remotas veredas azotadas por los grupos armados. Con el secuestro y asesinato de tres periodistas ecuatorianos del diario El Comercio, a manos de una disidencia de las FARC, se ha marcado un antes y un después para la libertad de prensa en Colombia. Me entusiasmó descubrir rincones y comunidades inhóspitas, que en numerosas ocasiones, conocían a un extranjero por primera vez. Era una introspección en los sentimientos y comportamientos universales de la humanidad en situaciones límite. De los protagonistas también alimenté mi pasión por este país, que en las más dramáticas circunstancias era capaz de sacar esperanzas e invadirme por ese aguerrido optimismo. Me apasionaron sus extremos, esa posibilidad de toparse con lo mejor y lo peor de un momento o lugar a otro. Y no me hizo falta ver ninguna serie de narcos para vibrar con esas realidades, que trascienden a la morbosa ficción de un mafioso, cuya historia y época desgrano holgadamente en uno de los capítulos. Eso sí, sin adornos y con la mayor rigurosidad posible. De hecho, me irrito igual que mi compañera y como cualquier colombiano cuando en España asocian a Colombia únicamente con Escobar. Quizá ese es otro de los estigmas que he pretendido superar con este libro. |
| libro de popeye sobre pablo escobar: Blood and Capital Jasmin Hristov, 2014-07-31 In Blood and Capital: The Paramilitarization of Colombia, Jasmin Hristov examines the complexities, dynamics, and contradictions of present-day armed conflict in Colombia. She conducts an in-depth inquiry into the restructuring of the state’s coercive apparatus and the phenomenon of paramilitarism by looking at its military, political, and legal dimensions. Hristov demonstrates how various interrelated forms of violence by state forces, paramilitary groups, and organized crime are instrumental to the process of capital accumulation by the local elite as well as the exercise of political power by foreign enterprises. She addresses, as well, issues of forced displacement, proletarianization of peasants, concentration of landownership, growth in urban and rural poverty, and human rights violations in relation to the use of legal means and extralegal armed force by local dominant groups and foreign companies. Hristov documents the penetration of major state institutions by right-wing armed groups and the persistence of human rights violations against social movements and sectors of the low-income population. Blood and Capital raises crucial questions about the promised dismantling of paramilitarism in Colombia and the validity of the so-called demobilization of paramilitary groups, both of which have been widely considered by North American and some European governments as proof of Colombian president Álvaro Uribe’s advances in the wars on terror and drugs. |

| libro de popeye sobre pablo escobar: The Essential Saker The Saker, 2015-11-17 These are some of the most essential articles written by the Saker on his blog. Even though they cover topics ranging from history, to politics, to religion, to military affairs, to social issues, they are all linked by one common thread: the full-spectrum clash between the Western world and what the Saker calls the Russian civilizational realm. Most Russians, especially when addressing a western audience, feel compelled to use a diplomatic and non-confrontational language. In contrast, Saker's style is informal, almost conversational, but also direct, even blunt. He is fully aware that his views might offend many of his readers, but he believes that there is also a bigger audience out there which will appreciate an honest and, above all, sincere criticism of what the Saker calls the AngloZionist Empire. The careful reader, however, will notice that the Saker's criticisms are always aimed at a political system and its constituent institutions and supporting ideologies, but never at the people, nations or ethnicities. In fact, the Saker forcefully argues for a multi-cultural, multi-ethnic and multi-religious Russia which would be fully integrated in a multi-polar world inspired by the fraternal diversity of the BRICS countries. Underlying the Saker's entire worldview is a categorical rejection of all ideologies and a profound belief that the root of all evil as well as the key to defeating it is always in the realm of spirituality. Gilad Atzmon, jazz musician and philosopher: As telling the truth is becoming a nostalgic endeavour, its seeking is becoming an heroic adventure. The Saker will guide you through the mist of concealment and disinformation. Paul Craig Roberts, former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Economic Policy in the Reagan administration and author of 12 books on contemporary politics: The Saker provides facts and analysis that are antidotes to the anti-Russian propaganda that prevails in the West. Peter Lavelle, host of Russia Today's flagship program CrossTalk offered this: Reading the Saker is essential - it is at this media space where one can discern the real trenches and battle lines in today's super-charged information wars. I read the Saker not only for the facts (that are verified and applied in context), but also for a moral and discipled attitude toward geopolitics. The Saker is not only a good read; it is also a way of looking at the world. Simply put: the Saker is information that is weaponized and hits all the right targets! The Saker community of blogs is the only such international and multi-lingual community of blogs. We collaborate with all the main English language blogs about Russia and the Ukraine. Our articles are often picked up by Russia Insider, the Asia Times, Information Clearing House and many others news sources and our work has been quoted by Paul Craig Roberts, Sheikh Imran Hosein, Pepe Escobar and many others. The Saker was born in a military family of White Russian refugees in western Europe where he lived most of his life. After completing two college degrees in the USA, he returned to Europe were he worked as a military analyst until he lost his career due to his vocal opposition to the western-sponsored wars in Chechnia, Croatia, Bosnia and Kosovo. After re-training as a software engineer, he moved to the Florida where he now lives with his wife, a veterinarian, and their three children. When he does not blog or help his wife at work, the likes to explore the Florida wilderness on foot, mountain bike and kayak or play acoustic jazz guitar. |
| libro de popeye sobre pablo escobar: Memoirs Pablo Neruda, 2001-01-15 The classic and deeply moving memoir by Pablo Neruda, the most widely read political poet of our time and winner of the Nobel Prize The south of Chile was a frontier wilderness when Pablo Neruda was born in 1904. In these memoirs he retraces his bohemian student years in Santiago; his sojourns as Chilean consul in Burma, Ceylon, and Java, in Spain during the civil war, and in Mexico; and his service as a Chilean senator. Neruda, a Communist, was driven from his senate seat in 1948, and a warrant was issued for his arrest. After a year in hiding, he escaped on horseback over the Andes and then to Europe; his travels took him to Russia, Eastern Europe, and China before he was finally able to return home in 1952. The final section of the memoirs was written after the coup in 1972 that overthrew Neruda's friend Salvador Allende. Many of the century's most important literary and artistic figures were Neruda's friends, and figure in his memoirs--Garcia Lorca, Aragon, Picasso, and Rivera, among them--and also such political leaders as Gandhi, Nehru, Mao, Castro, and Che Guevara. In his uniquely expressive prose, Neruda not only explains his views on poetry and describes the circumstances that inspired many of his poems, but he creates a revealing record of his life as a poet, a patriot, and one of the twentieth century's true men of conscience. |
