Livin’ la Vida Boba
Gathered together for the first time, a gourmet selection of the most read, most shared, and most insulted columns by the Bengal tiger Lucano Divina! After escaping from the Acheron Zoo, Lucano has been involved in the struggle against the imperialism of human stupidity, touching a range of subjects such as: the worst advice for a broken heart, you don’t know what you got until someone else enjoys it, love gets better with damage, profession is the oldest prostitution in the world, and twenty-one things you shouldn’t do to forget your ex, among other irrational truths. Thanks to his writings that strip the self-denominated most intelligent species on the planet, he has shown himself wort...
Cine y nación:
Este libro busca develar las mediaciones a partir de las cuales las imágenes cinematográficas son producidas y entran a participar en la generación de percepciones sobre la identidad nacional, al relacionar los implicados en la industria y las narrativas que son llevadas a la pantalla con los procesos históricos, económicos, políticos y socioculturales que han sucedido en Colombia durante todo el siglo xx, que es el siglo que ha sido registrado por el cine. De igual modo, una profundización en la legislación y en las lógicas a partir de las cuales las obras son legitimadas o rechazadas por el mismo ente institucional, las distribuidoras y exhibidoras privadas, y el mismo público, s...
El Príncipe Azul abre puertas, el Bufón abre piernas
‘El Príncipe Azul abre puertas, el Bufón abre piernas’ es la medicina que tu organismo está exigiendo. Por mucho tiempo has intentado seducir mujeres usando flores, chocolates y frases clichés con la esperanza de abrir piernas, pero te ha tocado contentarte con abrir puertas de restaurantes, automóviles y ascensores. Eres un Príncipe Azul y ese es tu problema, tu karma y tu enfermedad. Calma. No te preocupes. Ya hay una cura: tienes que convertirte en un Bufón, a través de la asesoría seductora de un tigre de bengala. ¿Un Bufón?

Encounters with Witchcraft
Encounters with Witchcraft is a personal story of a young man's fascination with African witchcraft discovered first in a trek across East Africa and the Congo. The story unfolds over four decades during the author's long residence in and many trips to Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda.

An Affair with Africa
This animated and entertaining account of the varied and often colourful aspects of district administration in rural Tanganyika (Tanzania) during the last years of Britain's trusteeship will dispel many misconceptions about colonial life. The reader is presented with a kaleidoscope of events and images, and will be drawn into the author's enthusiasms and concerns, all against a background of rapid political change. There are descriptions of foot safaris, poaching, murder, anti-famine measures, smuggling, witchcraft, a school riot, a locust invasion, and the threat of civil unrest; also of domestic matters, friendships made, and the sadness of leaving. Although the style is understated, the reader will be aware of the writer's affection for Africa and for the people amongst whom he lived and worked. This book will appeal to the serious and casual student of African affairs and history, and to anyone who takes pleasure in reading of unfamiliar events in distant places.
