LETRAS INTERIORES
Las literaturas regionales se reconocen a sí mismas en un intercambio acotado por su tiempo y espacios propios. En el caso del Estado de Guanajuato, se origina en fechas recientes un movimiento de tertulias literarias que, de modo itinerante, ha recorrido prácticamente todo el mundo. Con ese dinamismo se ha podido integrar una nómina amplia de escritores que no sólo engrosan la propia tertulia, sino que dan testimonio de la vitalidad del orbe de las letras en este sector del mundo. Benjamín Valdivia La Antología de Escritores Guanajuatenses es un proyecto de gran importancia para la Red Estatal de Tertulias Literarias de Guanajuato, ya que no sólo contiene la participación de los integrantes y simpatizantes de la Red, provenientes de treinta municipios de la entidad, sino que su impresión, permitirá que sea una obra que permanezca como una huella en la historia, una evidencia perenne y a la vez tangible del quehacer literario en este momento. José Luis Calderón Vela
Bajo la lluvia tú y yo
Esteban aborda una vivencia universal para el adolescente de todos los tiempos: la grata experiencia del amor y del desamor, la confianza y la desconfianza del adolescente cuando se abre a la posibilidad de amar y ser amado, el doloroso camino de las desilusiones y la tan sonada sentencia “no me vuelvo a enamorar”, para luego ser tomados por sorpresa, quizás cuando menos lo esperamos, de nueva cuenta por el amor pero con una intensidad tal que nos arrebata el alma y en el alma la vida misma, todo esto entretejido y salpicado con el drama, la tragedia y la aventura, tal como debe ser la vida de todo adolescente que busca dar sentido y significado a lo que hace y a lo que es. Esteban nos atrapará desde el comienzo de su novela con un lenguaje sencillo y con la claridad de los personajes creados con los cuales fácilmente nos identificaremos de tal modo que al leer “Bajo la lluvia tú y yo” los adultos recordaremos lo apasionante que fue nuestra adolescencia y juventud, y los adolescentes y jóvenes se conectarán a través de los diferentes personajes con profundas vivencias de su propia historia.
Transnational Organized Crime in Central America and the Caribbean
This report is one of several studies conducted by UNODC on organized crime threats around the world. These studies describe what is known about the mechanics of contraband trafficking - the what, who, how, and how much of illicit flows - and discuss their potential impact on governance and development. Their primary role is diagnostic, but they also explore the implications of these findings for policy. Publisher's note.
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.
Open Veins of Latin America
Since its U.S. debut a quarter-century ago, this brilliant text has set a new standard for historical scholarship of Latin America. It is also an outstanding political economy, a social and cultural narrative of the highest quality, and perhaps the finest description of primitive capital accumulation since Marx. Rather than chronology, geography, or political successions, Eduardo Galeano has organized the various facets of Latin American history according to the patterns of five centuries of exploitation. Thus he is concerned with gold and silver, cacao and cotton, rubber and coffee, fruit, hides and wool, petroleum, iron, nickel, manganese, copper, aluminum ore, nitrates, and tin. These are...
The Diplomatic Enlightenment
Eighteenth-century Spain drew on the Enlightenment to reconfigure its role in the European balance of power. As its force and its weight declined, Spanish thinkers discouraged war and zealotry and pursued peace and cooperation to reconfigure the international Spanish Empire.
The Courtier and the King
"This is a little jewel of a book. Beautifully and elegantly written, it examines the political career of an important figure at the court of Philip II of Spain. It is political biography in the best sense of the term."--Richard Kagan, author of Lucrecia's Dreams

OECD Rural Studies Rural Policy Review of Colombia 2022
Rural regions in Colombia have untapped potential to boost wealth and well-being in the country. Despite remarkable economic growth over the last two decades, Colombia’s development policy needs to increase its focus on rurality, as regional inequalities remain high by OECD standards and structural challenges still prevent greater development in rural places.
Labyrinth
Notable International Crime Novel of the Year – Crime Reads / Lit Hub From a prize-winning Turkish novelist, a heady, political tale of one man’s search for identity and meaning in Istanbul after the loss of his memory. A blues singer, Boratin, attempts suicide by jumping off the Bosphorus Bridge, but opens his eyes in the hospital. He has lost his memory, and can't recall why he wished to end his life. He remembers only things that are unrelated to himself, but confuses their timing. He knows that the Ottoman Empire fell, and that the last sultan died, but has no idea when. His mind falters when remembering civilizations, while life, like a labyrinth, leads him down different paths. From the confusion of his social and individual memory, he is faced with two questions. Does physical recognition provide a sense of identity? Which is more liberating for a man, or a society: knowing the past, or forgetting it? Embroidered with Borgesian micro-stories, Labyrinth flows smoothly on the surface while traversing sharp bends beneath the current.
