Arielle works for French immigration in Paris and has a reputation for a cold heart. She likes to entertain herself with the younger guys and never considers developing a relationship with a man. When she meets a wealthy and sexy middle-aged man who offers to give her everything, she finds the idea attractive but simply can’t commit. On vacation in Spain, she meets a desperate young Moroccan whose work visa is about to expire. Against her better judgement, she gives him advice, then help. But when she returns to Paris, she finds she has set a chain of events in motion that quickly spirals out of control. The young man’s feelings of inadequacy lead to jealousy, gambling, and a chance meeting with a mystery man, completely changing the course of his life.
La presente Antología de poesía y cuento reúne el trabajo de diez escritores chilenos emergentes. En ella, se produce una perfecta coexistencia entre dos géneros tan diferentes como lo es la poesía y el cuento, la cual devela al lector el vertiginoso viaje a través de las palabras. Es una selección centrada fundamentalmente en autores contemporáneos, donde la proliferación de voces hace converger lo interior y lo exterior; lo íntimo y lo urbano; lo patente y lo velado de la experiencia vital de diversos sujetos inmersos en un entorno desenfrenado. Sin duda, es una imperdible oportunidad para conocer a través de estos autores y autoras la producción literaria que surge y se proyecta en nuestro país.
Hace un cuarto de siglo, a pesar de haber saboreado en El Salvador su primera copa desde 1969, el hincha de Universidad de Chile seguía siendo el foco de críticas y burlas de los archirrivales, quienes disparaban acusando que la “U” había comprado el título de 1994 y que pasaría otros 25 años sin ser campeón. "Peregrinaje al Bicampeonato" está narrado desde la perspectiva del hincha, con una emotiva y fidedigna descripción de toda la temporada 1995. En su transcurso, los fantasmas de esos tiempos de sufrimiento y fracasos, donde se forja el carácter del fanático azul, surgen como pasajes reveladores de gran valor inmaterial para la historia de la “U”. “El campeonato de 1995 es el más espectacular de la historia de nuestro fútbol”, destaca el periodista Edgardo Marín. Sin duda, PEREGRINAJE AL BICAMPEONATO es un libro esencial para todos los seguidores del cuadro universitario e interesados en una época fundamental.
Following the launch of Sputnik, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization became a prominent sponsor of scientific research in its member countries, a role it retained until the end of the Cold War.

Drawing on previously unseen documents from NATO’s own archives, Simone Turchetti reveals how its investments were rooted in the alliance’s defense and surveillance needs...
