Sinopsis del Libro

Libro El Dalai Lama

The first authorized biography of the Dalai Lama - an alternately inspiring and shocking story - of an acclaimed Tibetan scholar, with privileged access to the subject of his book. The Dalai Lama's message of peace and compassion resonates with people of all faiths and those of no faith. However, due to all his fame around the world, he is often evasive. Alexander Norman - an acclaimed Oxford-trained scholar of Tibetan history - offers the definitive biography, unique and unforgettable. The Dalai Lama recounts an incredible odyssey from a remote Tibetan village to his global position as spiritual and political leader of one of the deepest and most complex cultural traditions in the world. Norman reveals that although the Dalai Lama has never been comfortable with his political situation, he has been a shrewd player - for a time backed by the CIA - that has moved amid widespread violence, including standing at the center of a dangerous schism in Buddhism. However, even more surprising than the action politics -Norman convinces us-, is the extraordinary spiritual practice of the Dalai Lama, based on magic, revelation, and prophecy, the details of which are illuminated for the first time in this book. A revealing life story of one of our most radical, charismatic and beloved world leaders of our epoch.

Libro Vida de Charlotte Brontë

Vida de Charlotte Brontë de Elizabeth Gaskell se publicó en 1857, menos de dos años después de la muerte de Charlotte, y conoció un éxito inmediato. Fue escrita a instancias del propio padre de la novelista, el reverendo Patrick Brontë, quien a pesar de su mala salud sobreviviría a todos sus hijos. La vida de Charlotte Brontë y de sus hermanos es trágica, digna de cualquiera de sus novelas. Huérfanos de madre desde muy temprana edad, educados en una destartalada vicaría de los páramos de Haworth por un padre estricto y bastante excéntrico, los Brontë debieron cultivar la...

Los Diarios Intimos

Libro Los Diarios Intimos

The private diaries record aspects of everyday life, woven together by the affective life, in an attempt to capture and contain them in words, and to retain them through writing. They originated as texts for exclusive personal use, but by subsequent developments, they have come to take another course and have been published posthumously, achieving completely different goals from those that initiated them. Such is the case of the two texts that are the subject of this edition: the diaries of Soledad Acosta Kemble and Jose Maria Samper Agudelo, written during four months and four days, before...

Libro Cartas al general Melo: guerra, política y sociedad en la Nueva Granada, 1854

Cartas al general Melo: guerra, política y sociedad en la Nueva Granada, 1854, transcribe más de doscientas noventa cartas que diversas personalidades le enviaron el general José María Melo o a uno de sus seguidores durante el tiempo que dominaron el centro del país, en entre mediados de abril y finales de noviembre de 1854. Estas misivas nos abren una ventana al interior del grupo que apoyó el golpe de Estado, evidenciando los conflictos y pugnas que tenían y de paso cuestionando esa visión homogénea con que se ha visto hasta ahora al melismo. Las cartas vienen acompañadas de un...
