Sinopsis del Libro

Libro Universal Father

Pope John Paul II is now universally considered to have been one of the great leaders of the twentieth century and possibly the most politically influential pope since St Peter. His achievements are well documented, yet he once said, 'I can only be understood from the inside.' In this vivid and accessible living portrait, O'Connor investigates the inner man, including Karol Wojtyla's life before he became Pope and his friendships with men and women, subtly analysing the Pope's own poems, plays and philosophical works for clues as to what made him tick. It also dramatically follows his life, from his birth in Poland in 1920, through the losses that shaped his childhood, the assassination attempt in 1981, and his great public confrontations on the world stage, right up until his death in April 2005.

María Josefa Segovia Morón

Libro María Josefa Segovia Morón

María Josefa Segovia (1891-1957) es una de esas mujeres que, inmersas en su tiempo y proyectadas hacia el nuestro, llegaron a hacer historia. “Los destinos de la mujer culta y su influencia en la sociedad moderna son ahora mismo algo tan grande como impreciso”, escribió don Pedro Poveda en 1931. En su escuela, con creatividad, audacia y discreción María Josefa fue haciendo concreto un modo de ser y de actuar, inédito en su tiempo, algo más común en el nuestro, pero todavía con necesidad de volver los ojos hacia estas personas cuya biografía sigue suscitando admiración y...

Una autobiografía soterrada

Libro Una autobiografía soterrada

Oscilando entre el ensayo y el relato, Una autobiografía soterrada examina aquellos recuerdos, viajes y personas que conformaron el estilo de Sergio Pitol: su primer viaje en barco, la escala en La Habana que le deparó una noche alucinante, el influjo de la fiesta, su interés por ambientes e historias familiares, la escritura de sus novelas durante el extenso exilio europeo, su pasión por las zonas oscuras y los seres excéntricos. En los cuatro relatos y la conversación con Carlos Monsiváis aquí reunidos, Pitol demuestra ser hijo de todo lo visto y lo soñado, pero también de la...

Por estas calles bravas

Libro Por estas calles bravas

Thirty years ago Piri Thomas made literary history with this lacerating, lyrical memoir of his coming of age on the streets of Spanish Harlem. Here was the testament of a born outsider: a Puerto Rican in English-speaking America; a dark-skinned morenito in a family that refused to acknowledge its African blood. Here was an unsparing document of Thomas's plunge into the deadly consolations of drugs, street fighting, and armed robbery--a descent that ended when the twenty-two-year-old Piri was sent to prison for shooting a cop. As he recounts the journey that took him from adolescence in El...
