«Ni fórmula, ni sistema: una ruta de viaje, una ruta, eso sí, reflexionada.» Si toda vida es un viaje, resulta idóneo contar con los instrumentos de navegación adecuados. No hay que confiarse, el hecho de que el territorio de nuestra expedición nos sea aparentemente familiar no implica que estemos libres de extravíos. Un mapa puede ser esencial -un mapa, por supuesto, de nosotros mismos. En este libro, Federico Reyes Heroles se convierte en cartógrafo de su existencia. La técnica que utiliza es sencilla pero infalible: levantar un registro de las coordenadas que han dotado de sentido a su vida. Momentos de plenitud, obsesiones y pasiones quedan asentados en este inventario personal...
The Reinvention of Mexico
The Reinvention of Mexico explores the ideological conflict between neoliberalism and nationalism that has been at the core of economic and political development in Latin America since the mid-1980s. Grappling with a wide variety of issues generated by the dismantling of the statist economy and subsequent climate of market reforms, this timely volume shows that Mexico's transformation in the 1990s has broader implications for the study of nationalism. A welcome contribution to the literature on Latin American history, The Reinvention of Mexico offers important insight into national responses to globalization and the most appropriate vision of political economy in Latin America.
Canon
Matrimonio perfecto; la asfixia del aburrimiento y la rutina. Del autor de Ante los ojos de Desiré, Noche tibia y El abismo, Federico Reyes Heroles. Mariana y Julián, que parecen un matrimonio perfecto en apariencia, ven transformada su rutina cuando Mariana se enfrenta a la posibilidad de una infidelidad. De cuarenta ytantos, Mariana es una preciosa arquitecta que tiene éxito en su trabajo. Por su parte, Julián es un fotógrafo que va ganando reconocimiento en su campo laboral. Tienen dos hijos adolescentes: Luis María, el mayor y Bibiana y conforman un matrimonio casi modelo. Un miércoles cualquiera, Mariana se despierta con la conciencia de que su vida es aburrida. Consiste en repeticiones constantes sobre los mismos modelos preestablecidos y, pese a que junto con su esposo logra variar la rutina, esos escapes también le representan una repetición. Sin embargo, una aventura la espera a la vuelta de la esquina, la posibilidad de una infidelidad que quizá se convierta en la salvación de su matrimonio.

Mexico

In this vivid account of Mexico's recent history, a journalist with extensive reporting experience investigates the nation's young democracy, its shortcomings and achievements, and why the PRI is favored to retake the presidency in 2012.Jo Tuckman reports on the murky, terrifying world of Mexico's drug wars, the counterproductive government strategy, and the impact...
