Rupturas presidenciales
¿Por qué fue mínima la represión en las salidas anticipadas del poder de Abdalá Bucaram (1997), Jamil Mahuad (2000) y Lucio Gutiérrez (2005) en el Ecuador? Este libro explica los principales factores que incidieron en las dinámicas entre los movimientos noviolentos, las Fuerzas Armadas y la Policía de ese país. Se basa en entrevistas a actores de los hechos y en el análisis meticuloso de diversas fuentes periodísticas. Así se espera que esta obra contribuya al análisis de rupturas presidenciales que ocurren en diversos países del mundo, donde se considere la dinámica entre la fuerza pública y los movimientos noviolentos.

The Retreat from Moscow
How well do we know the people we marry? Is it wrong to decide it’s time to be honest? Is love enough to save a family? In The Retreat from Moscow, William Nicholson, the celebrated author of Shadowlands, tells the powerful story of a husband who decides to be truthful in his marriage, and of the wife and son whose lives will never be the same again. Edward and Alice have been married for thirty-three years. He is a teacher at a boys school, perfectly at home with his daily crossword and lately engrossed in reading about Napoleon’s costly invasion of Moscow. She is an observant Catholic, exacting and opinionated, and has been collecting poems about lost love for a new anthology. Jamie, their diffident thirty-two year old son, is visiting for the weekend when Edward announces he has met another woman. With the coiled intensity of Tom Stoppard’s The Real Thing and the embracing empathy of Edward Albee’s best family dramas, The Retreat from Moscow shines a breathtakingly natural light on the fallout of a shattered marriage.
Permafrost
"Permafrost es el sorprendente debut de Eva Baltasar, una historia contundente, íntima y carnal de una protagonista con pulsiones suicidas que se protege del exterior pero se entrega con intensidad al sexo con otras mujeres, la literatura y el arte. El permafrost es esa capa de la tierra permanentemente congelada y es también la membrana que cubre a la protagonista de esta novela. Escrita en primera persona, nos presenta a una mujer en etapa de formación que se protege del exterior, que percibe la superficialidad en todo cuanto la rodea y huye de un entorno que nada tiene que ver con su manera de entender la vida: una madre obsesionada con la salud, omnipresente y controladora, y una herm...

Didáctica de la morfología. Propuestas para el aula de secundaria y bachillerato

Barcelonas
Barcelona, the exuberant capital of Catalonia and host of the 1992 Olympics, is here explored and exposed by its greatest contemporary author. Manuel Vazquez Montalban's anecdotal history takes us on an imaginary tour of the city, from its most secret corners to its most famous monuments. An erudite and impassioned guide, Montalban finds a controversy in every building, a story in every street, illuminating the city's rich history and turbulent politics, its art, gastronomy and football. There are many Barcelonas, and Montalban knows them all: the lavish art-nouveau houses in Vallvidrera where he himself lives; the labyrinthine squalor of the Barri Xino, setting for Genet's Thief's Journal; ...
