El verdadero Pablo
"Hola linda, yo soy Popeye" En 1998, conocí a Jhon Jairo Velásquez Vásquez, alias "Popeye",lugarteniente del Jefe del Cartel de Medellín, Pablo Escobar Gaviria. Este primer encuentro se dio en el patio de alta seguridad de la cárcel Modelo en Bogotá. Yo visitaba el centro de reclusión con frecuencia, como periodista del canal R.C.N TELEVISIÓN. Permanentemente estaba realizando entrevistas o dialogando con los reclusos para registrar noticias de lo que pasaba dentro de la cárcel. En esa época, los enfrentamientos entre guerrilleros y autodefensas, eran pan de cada día. Diariamente se escuchaban las balaceras dentro de la prisión, los diferentes bandos peleaban por su control. Siempre quise conocer a alguno de los miembros del Cartel de Medellín, tenía curiosidad de saber quiénes eran, cómo lucían y qué pensaban estos hombres que pertenecieron al más poderoso cartel de drogas que haya existido en Colombia. En este patio pude hablar con dos de ellos. El más representativo, Jhon Jairo Velásquez Vásquez, alias "Popeye"...
The true life of Pablo Escobar
"Hello beautiful. I am Popeye." In 1998 I met Jhon Jairo Velásquez Vásquez—alias "Popeye"—lieutenant to the Medellín Cartel's leader, Pablo Escobar Gaviria. Our first encounter was at the high security yard of the Modelo Prison in Bogotá, Colombia. I visited the prison frequently as a journalist for RCN TV. I was always conducting interviews and speaking to the inmates, uncovering news about what was really happening inside the prison. At that time, stories about confrontations between guerrilla and paramilitary factions were everyday news. You could often hear shots inside the prison as the different sides fought for control. I had always wanted to meet one of the members of the Med...
Surviving Pablo Escobar
I've begged God for forgiveness, but I won't know till the day I die if He has truly forgiven me ... I've paid my dues to society by serving my long sentence, but perhaps I haven't earned His indulgence ... Oh my God, I've lived so many different lives! I survived Pablo Escobar Gaviria, El Patrón (The Boss), and it was the strength of his indomitable spirit that kept me going all these years; I don't quite know how or why. I still feel his presence every day of my existence. The Medellin cartel's crimes weigh as heavily on my shoulders today as they did yesterday. My youth, wasted in crime, became the sword that now hangs over my graying head. To the world, I'll always be known by my alias,...

The Representation of External Threats
In The Representation of External Threats, Eberhard Crailsheim and María Dolores Elizalde present a collection of articles that trace the phenomenon of external threats in a multitude of settings across Asia, America, and Europe. The scope ranges from military threats against the Byzantine rulers of the 7th century to the perception of cultural and economic threats in the late 19th century Atlantic, and includes conceptual threats to the construction of national histories. Focussing on the different ways in which such threats were socially constructed, the articles offer a variety of perspectives and interdisciplinary methods to understand the development and representations of external threats, concentrating on the effect of 'threat communication' for societies and political actors. Contributors are Anna Abalian, Vladimir Belous, Eberhard Crailsheim, María Dolores Elizalde, Rodrigo Escribano Roca, Simon C. Kemper, Irena Kozmanová, David Manzano Cosano, Federico Niglia, Derek Kane O’Leary, Alexandr Osipian, Pedro Ponte e Sousa, Theresia Raum, Jean-Noël Sanchez, Marie Schreier, Stephan Steiner, Srikanth Thaliyakkattil, Ionut Untea and Qiong Yu.
Pablo Escobar: My Father
THE POPULAR SERIES NARCOS CAPTURES ONLY HALF THE TRUTH. HERE, AT LAST, IS THE FULL STORY. THE INTERNATIONAL BEST SELLER! Until now, we believed that everything had been said about the rise and fall of Pablo Escobar, the most infamous drug kingpin of all time, but these versions have always been told from the outside, never from the intimacy of his own home. More than two decades after the full-fledged manhunt finally caught up with the king of cocaine, Juan Pablo Escobar travels to the past to reveal an unabridged version of his father—a man capable of committing the most extreme acts of cruelty while simultaneously professing infinite love for his family. This is not the story of a child seeking redemption for his father, but a shocking look at the consequences of violence and the overwhelming need for peace and forgiveness.
Atrapada y en silencio
ATRAPADA Y EN SILENCIO es el relato de un largo recorrido por las praderas sinuosas de la vida, lleno de historias imprevisibles en principio, pero que poco a poco se repiten como espejos indeseados y se van entrelazando en una memoria de seres que cobran forma y adquieren un papel capaz de impactar, con el carácter reiterativo de una violencia agazapada, el curso mismo de la propia existencia. Y su recurrencia se explica porque este libro es la confesión de una mujer que fue adicta al maltrato afectivo: yo misma. He cambiado algunos nombres para protección de los protagonistas porque este no es un libro costumbrista, ni una entrañable memoria familiar: es el relato real de una vida compleja, la mía. En algunas páginas encontrarán episodios gratos, pero los capítulos que al fin me atreví a escribir son, ante todo, memorias del abuso, de la violencia familiar, de verdades afectivas profundamente dañinas. Al emprender esta tarea literaria el objetivo principal, que rondaba mi mente durante tantos años, era escribir un libro de mujer a mujer. Lo he escrito con la desnudez y honestidad requeridas.
El color de nuestro olvido
Algunas piezas denunciaban muy a las claras la existencia de una superchería; otras, en cambio, abrían un interrogante que aún no tiene respuesta satisfactoria. Desde entonces hasta hoy, la cuestión del Leyes ha estado sobre el tapete, apasionando a especialistas y aficionados, y adquiriendo, por momentos, caracteres de escándalo...». Francisco de Aparicio, 1937 «...Pero nuestros morenos casi no nos han dejado ni su recuerdo. Nuestra historia parece complacerse en olvidarlos, en evitarlos». José Luis Lanuza, Morenada.
