José Martí

Resumen del Libro

José Martí (1853–1895) was the founding hero of Cuban independence. In all of modern Latin American history, arguably only the “Great Liberator” Simón Bolívar rivals Martí in stature and legacy. Beyond his accomplishments as a revolutionary and political thinker, Martí was a giant of Latin American letters, whose poetry, essays, and journalism still rank among the most important works of the region. Today he is revered by both the Castro regime and the Cuban exile community, whose shared veneration of the “apostle” of freedom has led to his virtual apotheosis as a national saint. In José Martí: A Revolutionary Life, Alfred J. López presents the definitive biography of the Cuban patriot and martyr. Writing from a nonpartisan perspective and drawing on years of research using original Cuban and U.S. sources, including materials never before used in a Martí biography, López strips away generations of mythmaking and portrays Martí as Cuba’s greatest founding father and one of Latin America’s literary and political giants, without suppressing his public missteps and personal flaws. In a lively account that engrosses like a novel, López traces the full arc of Martí’s eventful life, from his childhood and adolescence in Cuba, to his first exile and subsequent life in Spain, Mexico City, and Guatemala, through his mature revolutionary period in New York City and much-mythologized death in Cuba on the battlefield at Dos Ríos. The first major biography of Martí in over half a century and the first ever in English, José Martí is the most substantial examination of Martí’s life and work ever published.

Camus

"Incluso mis rebeliones estuvieron iluminadas por la luz. Fueron casi siempre, y creo que lo puedo decir sin engañar a nadie, rebeliones para todos, y para que la vida de todos se elevara hacia la luz." Porque escogió la rebelión antes que la revolución, Albert Camus (1913-1960) nos dejó una obra que es toda ella franqueza y "afirmación visible", iluminada por el sol de su Argelia natal. Siempre a la escucha de los acontecimientos de su época, no olvidó jamás recordarle al hombre sus verdaderos valores. Actor de su tiempo, tampoco dejó de narrar la belleza del mundo. Ensayista,...

Cured

As some of the first punks in the provincial English town of Crawley, Lol Tolhurst and Robert Smith didn't have it easy. They bonded over a mutual love for music and became The Easy Cure--later shortened to The Cure--, a band whose songs would inspire a deep sense of identification and empathy in listeners.

Albert Camus, Un Hombre Absurdo Que No Lo Era

Para hablar de Albert Camus es necesario antes despojarse de algunas ataduras conceptuales que quizá minen un poco la andadura de este camino, que si bien no pretenden descubrir nada nuevo, sí intentan mostrar ciertos atisbos que nos muestren lo que el hombre debiera ser, pero, desgraciada e ineluctablemente, no lo es. Aclaro, me debo curar en salud, como vulgarmente se dice, para tratar de descubrir una verdad que no vislumbro del todo, sino sólo, como ya lo dije, apenas atisbar. Bien, ¿por qué Camus? Hace aproximadamente cincuenta años conocí a Albert Camus; digo, es un decir, ya que ...
