«¿Cuál es el primer olor que recuerdas haber sentido? Intenta volver a tu infancia o adolescencia a un momento donde el encuentro concreto con una realidad vaya asociado a un olor: el contacto con el mar unido a la peste emanada del pescado podrido, un paseo por el campo ligado al penetrante olor de la tierra mojada...» Desde que leímos la famosa escena de la magdalena, que lleva al protagonista de En busca del tiempo perdido a rememorar su vida, llamamos «efecto Proust» a la capacidad evocativa que tienen los sabores y olores en literatura. En Cómo percibir. Guía sensorial de escritura creativa el lector encontrará inspiradores ejercicios como este, que conectan teoría, práctica...

Here, Jennifer Scheper Hughes traces popular devotion to the Cristo Aparecido over five centuries of Mexican history. Each chapter investigates a single incident in the encounter between believers and the image.
El Índice ofrece datos organizados en ocho factores que enmarcan el concepto de Estado de Derecho: 1) Límites al poder gubernamental, 2) Ausencia de corrupción, 3) Gobierno abierto, 4) Derechos fundamentales, 5) Orden y seguridad, 6) Cumplimiento regulatorio, 7) Justicia civil, y 8) Justicia penal. En conjunto, los resultados del Índice de Estado de Derecho en México 2020-2021 evidencian un estancamiento en el progreso del país hacia un Estado de Derecho robusto, con cambios marginales en los puntajes generales desde la última edición del Índice. Los puntajes de los ocho factores se desagregan en 42 sub-factores, los cuales reflejan las perspectivas y experiencias de más de 25,000 personas en todo el país, más de 2,300 especialistas en justicia civil, justicia penal, justicia laboral y salud pública (a quienes se entrevistó entre julio y octubre de 2020), así como resultados de una multiplicidad de encuestas y bases de datos de otras instituciones reconocidas en estos temas (fuentes terciarias).
This “investigative magnum opus” offers a jaw-dropping history of Mexican drug cartels as it transports readers to the frontlines of the ‘war on drugs’ in Latin America (Los Angeles Times). “A riveting story . . . [from] an incredibly brave journalist.” —NPR The “war on drugs” has so far cost more than 60,000 lives. Hernández explains in riveting detail how Mexico became a base for the mega-cartels of Latin America and one of the most violent places on the planet. At every turn, Hernández names not just the narcos, but also the politicians, functionaries, judges, and entrepreneurs who have collaborated with them. In doing so, she reveals the mind-boggling depth of corrupt...
A book by Spain's greatest living writer weaves fiction and fact into a completely original and unforgettable hybrid. Called by its author a "false novel," Dark Back of Time begins with the tale of the odd effects of publishing All Souls, his witty and sardonic 1989 Oxford novel. All Souls is a book Marías swears to be fiction, but which its "characters"--the real-life dons and professors and bookshop owners who have "recognized themselves"--fiercely maintain to be a roman à clef. With the sleepy world of Oxford set into fretful motion by a world that never "existed," Dark Back of Time begins an odyssey into the nature of identity and of time. Marías weaves together autobiography, a legendary kingdom, strange ghostly literary figures, halls of mirrors, a one-eyed pilot, a curse in Havana, and a bullet lost in Mexico.
"Traveler of the Century" is a deeply philosophical novel, chock-full of discussions about philosophy, history, and literature with pillow talk about love and translation. It is a book that looks to the past in order to have us reconsider our present.

Both volumes of the WWII aerial combat classic now in one complete softcover edition! A WAR IS A DIFFICULT THING TO KILL The Second World War is almost over, but no one seems to have told the Germans - as Royal Air Force pilot Jamie McKenzie finds out when he's assigned to deadly shipping strikes along the enemy coast. Flying the Mosquito fighter-bomber against heavily armed targets is dangerous enough at the best of times, but after incurring the wrath of his vengeful commanding officer, Jamie is assigned the most unpopular navigator in the unit- not to mention the least reliable aircraft. Worse still, the commander's sights are firmly set on Jamie's beautiful young wife, Beth. Writer Garth Ennis (Preacher, The Boys) and artist Keith Burns (War Stories) re-unite after the success of their series Johnny Red, presenting another tale of World War Two aerial combat - featuring skies black with flak and enemy fighters, nail-biting low-level action, and the dark humor of men whose lives can be snatched away at any second... Out of the Blue.
