Nelson Mandela
The fantastic, heroic life of Nelson Mandela, brought to life in this landmark graphic work. Nelson Mandela’s memoir, Long Road to Freedom, electrified the world in 1994 with the story of a solitary man who, despite unbelievable hardships, brought down one of the most-despised regimes in the world. Fifteen years after the publication of that classic work comes this fully authorized graphic biography, which relays in picture form the life story of the world’s greatest moral and political hero—from his boyhood in a small South African village to his growing political activism with the ANC, his twenty-seven-year incarceration as prisoner 46664 on Robben Island, his dramatic release, and his triumphant years as president of South Africa. With new interviews, firsthand accounts, and archival material that has only recently been uncovered, this visually dramatic biography promises to introduce Mandela’s gripping story to a whole new generation of readers.
La perversión ordinaria
La pregunta que plantea este libro en su formulación general es muy simple, aunque osar afrontarla parece atrevido o una ambición desmedida: ¿qué ocurre con nosotros hoy en las “sociedades avanzadas”? Evidentemente, dar una respuesta es mucho menos satisfactorio. Sólo aclarar esta pregunta nos enfrenta a una tarea eminentemente compleja. ¿Quién compone ese “nosotros”? ¿Se trata de individuos tomados separadamente, sujetos o la colectividad misma? Y ¿qué es un individuo, un sujeto o un colectivo? Nuestra pregunta inicial deviene entonces: ¿cómo podemos interpretar los cambios que se producen en estos tiempos en nuestras sociedades llamadas avanzadas? Considerando sin ser e...
Trauma, Psychoanalysis and History
Located at the crossroads of psychoanalysis and history, this book investigates the ambiguous concept of trauma and the changes to its formulation and use between the years 1866 and 1939. Luis Sanfelippo introduces the original conceptions of trauma outlined by Sigmund Freud, Pierre Janet and their contemporaries, before investigating how the meaning of this concept was influenced and informed by large-scale historical events like the First World War. Trauma, Psychoanalysis and History investigates the multiple problems linked to this fetishised category and how it has developed over time. Sanfelippo also considers the historiographical and conceptual problems raised by the application of trauma to collective memory and contemporary history, reflecting on what this means for historiography. Trauma, Psychoanalysis and History will be of great interest to students in training for psychotherapy and mental health practice, trained psychoanalysts, as well as academics and scholars of psychoanalytic studies, the history of psychology, trauma studies and modern history.
Nelson Mandela
A fully authorized visual biography, this graphic novel with a foreword from Nelson Mandela himself is an adaptation of his memoir, Long Walk to Freedom. The story of a solitary man who, despite unbelievable hardships, brought down one of the most repugnant regimes of the world is presented in vivid color by a team of South African artists.

With new interviews, firsthand accounts, and recently uncovered archival material, this visually dramatic biography introduc...
Nelson Mandela, un ser humano imprescindible
En el presente libro, el autor nos muestra a Madiba, no sólo como el gran revolucionario que conocemos, sino también como el ser humano sensible a la cultura de su pueblo, del continente y del resto del mundo; al deporte, a la música, al amor.
The Decolonial Mandela
A significant contribution to the emerging literature on decolonial studies, this concise and forcefully argued volume lays out a groundbreaking interpretation of the “Mandela phenomenon.” Contrary to a neoliberal social model that privileges adversarial criminal justice and a rationalistic approach to war making, Sabelo J. Ndlovu-Gatsheni identifies transformative political justice and a reimagined social order as key features of Nelson Mandela’s legacy. Mandela is understood here as an exemplar of decolonial humanism, one who embodied the idea of survivor’s justice and held up reconciliation and racial harmony as essential for transcending colonial modes of thought.
Candela
El mundo cambió y los libros ya no son parte de esa nueva realidad. El conformismo de las personas por la monotonía de despertar y encontrar lo mismo de siempre los llevó a aceptar todo. En la oscuridad de la noche estará Luz, una chica con ganas de salir en busca de ese pasado. ¿Dónde están todos esos libros? ¿Quién los cuida? Siempre existirá un motor vital en cada uno, pese a todos los obstáculos que se presenten, pero hay que saber buscar. Luz aprovechó el encuentro con el último bibliotecario en la Tierra para sentir que algo podía hacer. Entonces, ya no hay excusas para vivir sin sentir ni amar. Solo hay que prender la candela y peregrinar hasta hallar eso que no nos deja dormir por las noches. Y luchar, aunque la felicidad sea un delito.
