En esta novela, Julia Álvarez recrea magistralmente la historia real de tres hermanas que fueron brutalmente asesinadas por oponerse a la dictadura de Rafael Trujillo en República Dominicana. Treinta años después del crimen, la autora dio voz a cada una de ellas en un sentido homenaje a su valentía. Incluyo también a Dedé, la hermana sobreviviente que cuenta un capítulo muy oscuro de la historia con ternura y bondad.

Story
La historia de un pueblo que a pesar de la segregación, la diáspora y el holocausto ha sabido conservar su identidad y su unión religiosa. Este audio libro nos descubre la historia de uno de los pueblos más complejos en la historia universal. Perseguidos a lo largo de la historia en todos los países en los que se asentaron, los judíos han vivido siempre en minoría con respecto a las otras grandes religiones, y aun así, han sabido conservar sus señas de identidad y mantener un poder estratégico en aquellos países en los que han habitado.

Story
En las últimas décadas la investigación histórica se ha renovado mucho en la Argentina, con preguntas nuevas y aproximaciones mucho más ricas y diversas que antes. Y sin embargo esos trabajos no han conseguido, en general, abrirse paso en el sentido común más o menos compartido por la sociedad. Al contrario: siguen muy vigentes, en esa "agenda pública", discursos históricos moralizadores, que no se proponen comprender sino juzgar y que simplifican nuestra perspectiva con anacronismos y visiones épicas que dificultan nuestra posibilidad de entender ese pasado colectivo.

Esta es la gran cuestión del siglo que el mundo lleva a cuestas desde que Lenin tomó el poder: ¿por qué los comunistas se creen legitimados para robar y matar en nombre de una utopía que apenas esconde su afán de poder ilimitado?

Érase una vez un cura que tocó una campana la madrugada de un domingo y levantó en armas a todo un pueblo cansado de trecientos años de opresión. Vendrían una guerra que duraría más de una década, una monarquía, golpes de Estado, la república, un caudillo apostador, la pérdida de la mitad del territorio, un zapoteco que llegó a ser presidente, la exclusión de la Iglesia y la consecuente batalla entre liberales y conservadores, otra intervención y otro imperio, un dictador afrancesado y el inicio de un nuevo conflicto armado. Así fue el convulso siglo XIX mexicano.

Story
1914. Hace ahora cien años...Europa vivía una plenitud dorada. Los adelantos científicos y técnicos prometían un futuro feliz, sin hambrunas ni guerras. Pero un terrorista serbio asesinó, durante un desfile en Sarajevo, al heredero del Imperio austrohúngaro y a su esposa. Ese hecho aislado provocó un efecto dominó que arrastró a la guerra a más de cincuenta países. En cuatro años de contienda, la Gran Guerra arrasó a Europa y arruinó a los cuatro imperios que dominaban a la Tierra.

Story
Este libro demuestra que el abandono de la democracia y la tolerancia que protagonizó el Tercer Reich estaba extendido por la Europa de la época. Narra cómo un movimiento pseudorreligioso, imbuido de un sentimentalismo demagógico, parecía ofrecer la salvación a una Alemania exhausta por la guerra y la creciente inflación. Muestra las consecuencias de la desaparición del gobierno de la ley en favor del terror. Pero, a diferencia de otros recientes estudios de este periodo, no condena a toda la nación alemana.

Story
"Siglo de caudillos" es, en realidad, una biografía colectiva, porque fueron los caudillos en su conjunto los que, en el siglo XIX, encarnaron -para bien y para mal- las tensiones históricas de México. Liberales y conservadores asumieron su posición con tonos de guerra santa. Su biografía colectiva es una clave maestra para comprender la peculiar construcción histórica de México, un país proyectado hacia el futuro por un lado, "castellano y morisco, rayado de azteca" por otro.

El 25 de marzo de 1942, cientos de jóvenes mujeres judías y solteras abandonaron sus hogares para subir a un tren. Estaban impecablemente vestidas y peinadas, y arrastraban sus maletas llenas de ropa tejida a mano y comida casera. La mayoría de estas mujeres y niñas nunca habían pasado ni una noche fuera de casa, pero se habían ofrecido voluntariamente para trabajar durante tres meses en época de guerra. Ninguno de sus padres habría adivinado que el gobierno acababa de vender a sus hijas a los nazis para trabajar como esclavas.

En 1945 Europa se encontraba en sus momentos más bajos. Gran parte del continente estaba devastado por la guerra, los asesinatos en masa, los bombardeos y el caos. Amplias zonas de Europa del Este empezaban a caer bajo control soviético para cambiar un despotismo por otro. En la actualidad, la Unión Soviética ya no existe y las democracias europeas llegan hasta la frontera de Rusia.

A partir del juicio que en 1961 se llevó a cabo contra Adolf Eichmann, teniente coronel de la SS y uno de los mayores criminales de la historia, Hannah Arendt estudia en este ensayo las causas que propiciaron el Holocausto y el papel equívoco que desempeñaron en tal genocidio los consejos judíos—cuestión que, en su época, fue motivo de una airada controversia—, así como la naturaleza y la función de la justicia, aspecto que la lleva a plantear la necesidad de instituir un tribunal internacional capaz de juzgar crímenes contra la humanidad.

Los protagonistas de la resistencia, de la república armada, fueron una generación de ciudadanos endiabladamente inteligentes, agudos, esforzados, laboriosos; personajes terriblemente celosos de su independencia y espíritu crítico, honestos hasta la absoluta pobreza. Los liberales puros, los llamados rojos. Una década de exhaustiva investigación culmina en esta obra de tres tomos en la que Paco Ignacio Taibo II consigue retratar las simpatías y enemistades, los errores y las genialidades de uno de los periodos más decisivos y fundacionales de nuestra historia nacional.

Eran ocho personas y permanecieron recluidas desde junio de 1942 hasta agosto de 1944, fecha en que fueron detenidos y enviados a campos de concentración. En ese lugar y en las más precarias condiciones, Ana, a sus trece años, escribió su estremecedor Diario.

El valor, como el miedo, son contagiosos. De uno y otro lado los defensores y los atacantes realizan hazañas sorprendentes. Si, en el caso del ejército francés, su notable disciplina les da ventaja, en el caso mexicano los oficiales y suboficiales que combaten en la primera línea dan una consistencia enorme a la defensa. González Ortega añade: “Los vi serenos en medio de los fuegos, a unos a pecho descubierto y a otros en los muros que se les habían enco - mendado, esperando el empuje del invasor”.

“You like it darker? Fine, so do I,” writes Stephen King in the afterword to this magnificent new collection of twelve stories that delve into the darker part of life—both metaphorical and literal. King has, for half a century, been a master of the form, and these stories, about fate, mortality, luck, and the folds in reality where anything can happen, are as rich and riveting as his novels, both weighty in theme and a huge pleasure to digest.

Coexisting but conflicting needs create self-sabotaging behaviors. This is why we resist efforts to change, often until they feel completely futile. But by extracting crucial insight from our most damaging habits, building emotional intelligence by better understanding our brains and bodies, releasing past experiences at a cellular level, and learning to act as our highest potential future selves, we can step out of our own way and into our potential.

For decades we've been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F*ck positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let's be honest, shit is f*cked, and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn't sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is - a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck is his antidote to the coddling, let's-all-feel-good mind-set that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.
