Protegidas por el alto mando del país, las verdaderas dueñas del poder siempre han sido las primeras damas: quienes han utilizado a su favor los secretos más confidenciales del Estado para orquestar jugosos acuerdos y favores para sus allegados, al tiempo que aparentaban ser las protectoras de la nación. Algunas construyeron mansiones millonarias a costa del erario; casi todas remodelaron a capricho Los Pinos, o colocaron a sus hijos y parientes en posiciones privilegiadas; incluso, una tuvo un amante clarividente y otra solapó por años el contrabando de petróleo.

Publisher's summary
Cuarta edición, corregida y aumentada, de esta reflexión crítica indispensable para armar el rompecabezas histórico de la izquierda mexicana.
A más de treinta y cinco años de su publicación, la presente obra se ha convertido en una reflexión crítica indispensable para armar el rompecabezas histórico de la izquierda mexicana y de lo que entonces, en la segunda mitad del siglo pasado, parecía una causa perdida en nuestro país: la democracia.
Es una obra que mantiene toda su fuerza polémica y crítica, en la que además se puede percibir todavía la pasión con que fue escrita. Se trata de un conjunto de reflexiones ágiles y divertidas, muy estimulantes.
Publicadooriginalmente bajo el título El reto de la izquierda, este conjunto de ensayos -escritos entre 1979 y 1985- da la pauta precisa para analizar los primeros pasos de México hacia la transición democrática y para entender la anatomía de una izquierda que buscaba nuevos caminos.
Esta cuarta edición, corregida y aumentada, nos lleva a la época en que dominaba un sistema despótico que impidió durante decenios el progreso de una democracia representativa moderna.

In weeks after the September 11 attacks, 18-year-old Mansoor Adayfi was kidnapped by Afghan militia and sold to US forces for bounty money. After months of interrogations, he was sent to the US military prison at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, as one of its first prisoners. Like the nearly 800 other men imprisoned at Guantanamo, Adayfi didn’t know why he was imprisoned or for how long. He had never seen a skyscraper and couldn’t imagine what the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center looked like, much less how they were destroyed.

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 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.

Our vulnerabilities are not weaknesses; they are powerful reminders to keep our hearts and minds open to the reality that we're all in this together.

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.

I have discovered a group of women who refuse to be exploited, are immune to manipulation, and who never settle in the name of love. These ladies know what they want and take what they want by beating men at their own game. Utilizing the secrets exposed in this book, these women gain power, money, and status. Men call them gold diggers, women call them hos, but they call themselves winners. This is the book that society doesn't want you to listen to….
