Esta obra colectiva da cuenta de las principales violen-cias que se resisten a desaparecer, pese a la tentativa de la paz de La Habana. A lo largo de los capítulos, se indaga con profundidad sobre varios de los interro-gantes más perturbadores que, hoy por hoy, rondan la conciencia pública del país: ¿Por qué no podemos construir la paz? ¿De qué está nutrido el conflicto vio-lento colombiano que vuelve y se recicla, no importa las iniciativas de paz que se le interpongan en el ca-mino?

A historical detective story set against the social and political tumult of 1920s Barcelona and based on the real events of the end of a dazzling era. In the decade before the Spanish Civil War, Barcelona is on the verge of boiling over. Pablo Vilar, a well-connected young lawyer and journalist, meets several mysterious people who seem to hold clues to what is brewing in the city. The diverse cast of characters includes an assaulted cabaret artist, an anarchist leader, the city’s new autocratic civil governor, and a beautiful, wealthy countess—their destinies all bound by invisible ties. While the city both touches its zenith and peers into the abyss, Vilar guides us through a labyrinth that leads from the caverns of Montjuïc, home to paupers and outlaws, to the high-society parties in the gardens of Horta. Based on documents from the author’s family archives, and called “an irresistible read” by Carlos Ruiz Zafón, author of The Shadow of the Wind, A Barcelona Heiress provides a fresh perspective on a complex and dramatic period.
My life was forever changed on June 14, 1985. I was finishing my third year of medical school that summer and expecting my firstborn child in a few weeks. My idealistic world was shattered abruptly that day, and it led directly to experiencing a miracle firsthand. It has become my mission to relate this miraculous, divine intervention to as many people as possible, and that is the basis for writing this book. It has taken me years to write about this most painful time in my life as well as the most glorious. It is still painful to even read what I have recounted here for you. I hope that I can bring some sense of peace and understanding to people who are suffering from a lack of reasoning or...
