Caracola de los vientos
Par Carlos Blanco Fadol. 2019
Una sutil ofrenda a la mujer, especialmente a aquellas que alumbraron mi camino de sendas entrecruzadas. Caracola de los vientos…
es un poemario centrado en la mujer, en ese amor de mujer que el autor guarda como camafeo en las soledades de los caminos, y constituye el incentivo principal de su viaje, en esa búsqueda ancestral que no tiene bien definida, pero que compensa ir por la vida intentando encontrarla.Los años 50

Lincoln's Confidant: The Life of Noah Brooks (The Knox College Lincoln Studies Center)
Par Rodney O Davis, Douglas L Wilson, Wayne C Temple. 2019
Acclaimed as one of the great Lincoln scholars, Wayne C. Temple offers the long-awaited first biography of Noah Brooks, the…
influential Illinois journalist who championed Abraham Lincoln in state politics and became his almost daily companion during the Civil War. Best remembered as one of the president's few true intimates, Brooks was also a nationally recognized man of letters who mingled with the likes of Mark Twain and Bret Harte. Temple draws on archives and papers long thought lost to re-create Brooks's colorful life and relationship with Lincoln. Brooks's closeness to the president made him privy to Lincoln's thoughts on everything from literature to spirituality. Their frank conversations contributed to the wealth of journalism and personal observations that still make Brooks a much-quoted source for biographers, historians, and Lincoln aficionados. A grand history and unparalleled scholarly resource, Lincoln's Confidant is the story of an extraordinary friendship by one of the giants of Lincoln scholarship.The Myth of Russian Collusion: The Inside Story of How Donald Trump REALLY Won
Par Roger Stone. 2019
For the first time in paperback, New York Times best-selling author Roger Stone’s insider tell-all about the presidential campaign that…
shocked the world. This consummate political strategist continues to be front page news and has updated the book to respond to Robert Mueller’s charges.Two years ago, Roger Stone, a New York Times bestselling author, longtime political adviser and friend to Donald Trump, and consummate Republican strategist, gave us Making of the President 2016—the first in-depth examination of how Trump’s campaign delivered the biggest presidential election upset in history. But since then, the Deep State political establishment has worked tirelessly to undo those results. The Myth of Russian Collusion adds to and updates Stone’s initial work to set the record straight. Trump’s election win was a resounding repudiation of the failed leadership of both parties. The American people wanted something new, and President Trump has delivered: his tax cuts and regulatory rollbacks have given us the strongest economy in American history, he is relentless in his efforts to protect American citizens, and he refuses to do business as usual. But America’s ruling elite and liberal media, feeling threatened, have conspired to create the biggest witch hunt in our country’s history. The phony narrative that Trump was in cahoots with Vladimir Putin, Mueller’s charges that Roger Stone knew about the Wikileaks emails before release—all is debunked here. With a new introduction that responds to the Mueller investigation, The Myth of Russian Collusion is the true story of the Trump campaign that the establishment doesn’t want you to believe.Gilgamesh (G - Reference, Information and Interdisciplinary Subjects #6)

Par Fernando Pessoa. 2019
La colección «Poesía Portátil» reúne en Suave es vivir solo una muestra de los versos más rompedores de Fernando Pessoa,…
creador de una obra dominada por el vanguardismo y las identidades múltiples. Fernando Pessoa es considerado, junto con Luis de Camões, el poeta más importante en lengua portuguesa y uno de los más reconocidos de la literatura universal. Álvaro de Campos, Ricardo Reis y Alberto Caeiro son algunos de sus heterónimos, verdaderas personalidades poéticas con estilo propio, personajes completos, con biografías propias y estilos literarios dispares. Se convirtieron así en máscaras del propio escritor, en las que se despersonalizó para dar forma, a través de sus múltiples voces, a la amplitud y complejidad de sus pensamientos, conocimientos, y percepciones de la vida y el mundo. -------«El poeta es un fingidor.Finge tan completamenteque hasta finge que es dolorel dolor que en verdad siente.»-------Dark Sparkler

Par Bruce Smith. 2018
“There are two schools: one that sings the sheen and hues, the necessary pigments and frankincense while the world dries…
and the other voice like water that seeks to saturate, erode, and boil . . . It ruins everything you have ever saved.” Spill is a book in contradictions, embodying helplessness in the face of our dual citizenship in the realms of trauma and gratitude, artistic aspiration and political reality. The centerpiece of this collection is a lyrical essay that recalls the poet’s time working at the Federal Penitentiary at Lewisburg in the 1960s. Mentored by the insouciant inmate S, the speaker receives a schooling in race, class, and culture, as well as the beginning of an apprenticeship in poetry. As he and S consult the I Ching, the Book of Changes, the speaker becomes cognizant of other frequencies, other identities; poetry, divination, and a synchronous, alternative reading of life come into focus. On either side of this prose poem are related poems of excess and witness, of the ransacked places and of new territories that emerge from the monstrous. Throughout, these poems inhabit rather than resolve their contradictions, their utterances held in tension “between the hemispheres of songbirds and the hemispheres of men.”My Bishop and Other Poems (Phoenix Poets)
Par Michael Collier. 2018
Think of a time when you’ve feigned courage to make a friend, feigned forgiveness to keep one, or feigned indifference…
to simply stay out of it. What does it mean for our intimacies to fail us when we need them most? The poems of this collection explore such everyday dualities—how the human need for attachment is as much a source of pain as of vitality and how our longing for transcendence often leads to sinister complicities. The title poem tells the conflicted and devastating story of the poet’s friendship with the now-disgraced Bishop of Phoenix, Arizona, interweaving fragments of his parents’ funerals, which the Bishop concelebrated, with memories of his childhood spiritual leanings and how they were disrupted by a pedophilic priest the Bishop failed to protect him from. This meditation on spiritual life, physical death, and betrayal is joined by an array of poised, short lyrics and expansive prose poems exploring how the terror and unpredictability of our era intrudes on our most intimate moments. Whether Michael Collier is writing about an airline disaster, Huey Newton’s trial, Thomas Jefferson’s bees, a piano in the woods, or his own fraught friendship with the disgraced Catholic Bishop, his syntactic verve, scrupulously observed detail, and flawless ear bring the felt—and sometimes frightening—dimensions of the mundane to life. Throughout, this collection pursues a quiet but ferocious need to get to the bottom of things.Brothers, Rivals, Victors: Eisenhower, Patton, Bradley and the Partnership that Drove the Allied Conquest in Europe
Par Jordan, Jonathan W.. 2011
The true story of the friendship-and rivalry-among the greatest American generals of World War II. Supreme Allied Commander Dwight D.…
Eisenhower, General George S. Patton, and General Omar N. Bradley engineered the Allied conquest that shattered Hitler's hold over Europe. But they also shared an intricate web of relationships going back decades. In the cauldron of World War II, they found their prewar friendships complicated by shifting allegiances, jealousy, insecurity, patriotism, and ambition. Meticulously researched and vividly written, Jonathan W. Jordan's Brothers Rivals, Victors recounts the battle for Europe through the eyes of these three legendary generals who fought to liberate two continents. For the first time in such detail, the bonds between these battle captains are explored, and readers are treated to a rare insider's view of life at the summit of raw, violent power. Throughout three years of hard, bloody warfare, Eisenhower, the Alliance's great diplomat, sought victory in the fighting qualities and tactical genius of his most trusted subordinates, Bradley and Patton. Bradley and Patton, in turn, owed their careers to Eisenhower, who protected them from the slings and arrows of politicians, rival generals, their allies, and the U. S. Navy. The twin pillars of their working relationships were duty and trust. Yet their friendship, so genuine and unalloyed before the war, would be put to the ultimate test as life-and-death decisions were thrust upon them, and honor and duty conflicted with personal loyalty. Brothers Rivals Victors is drawn from the candid accounts of its main characters, and strips away much of the public image of "Ike" (Eisenhower), the "G. I. 's General" (Bradley), and "Old Blood and Guts" (Patton) to reveal the men lurking beneath the legend. Adding richness to this insider's story are the words and observations of a supporting cast of generals, staff officers, secretaries, aides, politicians, and wives, whose close proximity to Eisenhower, Bradley and Patton in times of stress and tranquility are brought together to produce a uniquely intimate account of a relationship that influenced a war. The story of how these three great strategists pulled together to wage the deadliest conflict in history, despite their differences and rivalries, is marvelously told in this eye-opening narrative, sure to become a classic of military history. .A máquina de viver

Par Gennaro Carrano. 2019
A Imolada, A Gentil, Sensibilidade, Delicado, Eros, Pálida. Uma jornada poética para descobrir as várias facetas da alma humana, onde…
o bem é confundido com o mal, o amor se funde com ódio, o perdão se torna culpa. Qual o limite entre o certo e o errado? A consciência será realmente um juiz imparcial? Será a moralidade apenas um condicionamento social? Uma eterna luta entre o instinto e a razão... A Creatura Nova pretende, através do estilo e da temática, representar uma nova maneira de fazer poesia. Um estilo antigo que se fundiu com temas atuais e métodos modernos. Mais do qu com uma antologia, deparamo-nos com uma narrativa poética real. Pela primeira vez, um tema difícil, como o estupro incestuoso, é tratado na poesia. As principais temáticas são as facetas da alma humana, vistas sob vários pontos de vista. E 'dividido em 'capítulos': "A Imolada" e "A Gentil" são o âmago da narrativa poética, onde é narrada a história de Adelfo (do grego = adelphos irmão) que estupra a irmã Verginia. Esta vai encontrar forças para perdoá-lo mas também o perdão se pode tornar uma grande culpa, e serão essa, de fato, que elouquecerá o protagonista Adelfo. Outra peculiaridade são os narradores. Em "A Imolada", os dois primeiros poemas são narradas por um narrador externo e os dois últimos do ponto de vista interno, ou seja, o de Adelfo. A mesma coisa acontece no capítulo "A Gentil", onde nos dois primeiros poemas o narrador é externo e nos dois últimos é interno, isto é, temos o ponto de vista da irmã Verginia. Isso possibilita olhar para a história, para o carrasco e a vítima de diferrentes perpectivas. No momento em que os seus papéis se misturam, a vítima torna-se carrasco e o carrasco, vítima. Nos oito poemas está presente um elemento commum: o lírio, um símbolo de pureza. Os restantes, sempre divididas por tema, tratam de temas como o amor a Deus, erotismo, autoflagelação, feminicídio e abandono.Abraham
