Este libro da cuenta de los procesos de construcción y profesionalización de la medicina y de la salud pública en la Real Audiencia de Quito y en el Virreinato del Nuevo Reino de Granada, y de la forma como estas se han relacionado en un proceso de doble vía con la sociedad y con el Estado, desde 1760 hasta 1830. Parte de un análisis histórico-comparativo y transcolonial sobre las reformas sanitarias borbónicas y la manera en la que los actores locales las negociaron. Se concentra, por un lado, en la caracterización de la Ilustración y la agenda reformista borbónica española, así como en las relaciones establecidas, por medio de ella, con los territorios coloniales.

Self Portrait in Green
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.

Home Reading Service
In this poignant novel, a man guilty of a minor offense finds purpose unexpectedly by way of his punishment—reading to others. After an accident—or “the misfortune,” as his cancer-ridden father’s caretaker, Celeste, calls it—Eduardo is sentenced to a year of community service reading to the elderly and disabled. Stripped of his driver’s license and feeling impotent as he nears thirty-five, he leads a dull, lonely life, chatting occasionally with the waitresses of a local restaurant or walking the streets of Cuernavaca. Once a quiet town known for its lush gardens and swimming pools, the “City of Eternal Spring” is now plagued by robberies, kidnappings, and the other myriad ...
