La Carta de Derechos (The Bill of Rights)

¿Sabía que alabar proviene de una voz latina que significa bofetada, o que chándal procede de una expresión francesa que quiere decir vendedor de ajos? Un diccionario diferente que combina lo científico con lo divulgativo e invita más a la lectura que a la mera consulta esporádica.

Discusses the discovery and escavation of King Tutankhamen's tomb and the myth of the curse that seemed to afflict those involved in the tomb's exploration.

This truly is a strange book. For starters, it talks to the reader. What's more, there are no colors until someone gives it color. Who is going to do this? The reader of course.

The poetry of Mercedes Roffe knows how to surround the silence, seduce the readers from an abyss feeling, and dares to skirt the limits in a plural sense. It is a return trip to the genesis and future of every word, a journey whose highest points happen whenever lightning appears. That is, whenever Roffe captures the poetic brilliance of words. She is currently one of the greatest voices in Argentine poetry. Some of the most sensitive aspects of human experiences are included in this ninth book of poems."
