Para Enrique Krauze, la crítica al poder es un compromiso de larga data que se conecta con la aspiración de que logremos pasar de una presidencia imperial a una institucional. Al final, estas páginas vislumbran la posibilidad de reconstruir la concordia perdida en México, cuyo camino está en la convergencia entre los partidos de oposición y una valiente y activa sociedad civil.

Según Enrique Krauze, la historia política de México ha sido siempre, en gran medida, una proyección de la biografía de sus gobernantes. Siguiendo el hilo de sus anteriores libros, con La presidencia imperial traza, mediante el penetrante retrato psicológico de nueve presidentes mexicanos (desde Manuel Ávila Camacho hasta Carlos Salinas de Gortari), todos ellos pertenecientes al partido único, el Partido Revolucionario Institucional (PRI), un audaz panorama de la historia de México desde 1940 hasta nuestros días.

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.

Story
Una biografía intelectual no es la biografía de la vida privada. Es la historia de una formación en la que intervienen muchos factores, muchas presencias y escenarios: escuelas, experiencias, viajes y, sobre todo, lecturas. La vida intelectual sigue la trayectoria de las ideas en el tiempo, de ideas encarnadas en una persona y, fundamentalmente, en el diálogo que ha mantenido con figuras tutelares, maestros, colegas, amigos. Así se hilvana una biografía intelectual: conversando con abuelos, mentores, compañeros de tantas batallas, autores admirados.

El autoritarismo, los atavismos, las ocurrencias y el desprecio por instituciones que han sido creadas a lo largo de décadas, han llevado al país a una ruina no solo económica, sino moral. Schettino aporta datos acerca de la economía del país y de los proyectos alucinantes del presidente.

Porque mi ambición es que el país alcance al fin su máximo potencial. Tengo la capacidad y la experiencia que ningún otro político posee para aprovechar la enorme oportunidad que hoy se presenta en nuestro horizonte para lograr finalmente que México crezca, reduzca su pobreza y logre ser una sociedad de bienestar y prosperidad compartida.

Publisher's summary
Un manifiesto a favor de la libertad y la palabra.
La democracia es frágil, mortal. Hace más de 2 mil años fue pervertida por los demagogos de Atenas. Y, hace un año en Estados Unidos, fue vulnerada por el carisma incendiario de Donald Trump. Su debilidad también es harto conocida en Latinoamérica: las dictaduras de izquierda y de derecha fueron una constante, y, hoy, el populismo atenaza la región.
Enrique Krauze, en esta lúcida colección de ensayos - a caballo entre la política, la filosofía, la literatura y la historia - advierte de los peligros de la acumulación del poder en una sola persona y sale en defensa de la democracia, el debate, la pluralidad y la tolerancia. En defensa de la libertad.
"Este libro es un pequeño viaje histórico, un testimonio personal, una acumulación de lo visto, oído, leído, conversado y aprendido sobre el poder personal absoluto. Y es también una argumentación crítica contra quienes, en nuestro tiempo, sienten encarnar cuatro palabras que, juntas, deberían ser impronunciables: el pueblo soy yo." (Enrique Krauze)

The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

Experience a bold take on this classic autobiography as it’s performed by Oscar-nominated Laurence Fishburne. In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.

On the face of it, a simple book of 26 poem fables sharing one man’s wisdom. But The Prophet is so much more than that. It has inspired people from John F Kennedy to The Beatles and became the '60s Bible of counterculture – all because of the timeless truths it shared. Each poem takes a different theme – pleasure, beauty, freedom, joy and sorrow – as the fictional Al Mustapha shares his thoughts and experiences as he prepares to travel back to his island home.

The history of the tablets translated in the following book is strange and beyond the belief of modern scientists. Their antiquity is stupendous, dating back some 36,000 years. The writer is Thoth, an Atlantean Priest-King, who founded a colony in ancient Egypt after the sinking of the mother country. He was the builder of the Great Pyramid of Giza, erroneously attributed to Cheops. In it he incorporated his knowledge of the ancient wisdom and also securely secreted records and instruments of ancient Atlantis.
