Papillon

Resumen del Libro

Libro Papillon

Henri Charriere, called "Papillon," for the butterfly tattoo on his chest, was convicted in Paris in 1931 of a murder he did not commit. Sentenced to life imprisonment in the penal colony of French Guiana, he became obsessed with one goal: "escape." After planning and executing a series of treacherous yet failed attempts over many years, he was eventually sent to the notorious prison, Devil's Island, a place from which no one had ever escaped . . . until Papillon. His flight to freedom remains one of the most incredible feats of human cunning, will, and endurance ever undertaken. Charriere's astonishing autobiography, "Papillon," was published in France to instant acclaim in 1968, more than twenty years after his final escape. Since then, it has become a treasured classic -- the gripping, shocking, ultimately uplifting odyssey of an innocent man who would not be defeated.

LA BANDA/ THE GANG.

Libro LA BANDA/ THE GANG.

While gangs and gang culture have been around for countless centuries, The Gang is one of the first academic studies of the phenomenon. Originally published in 1927, Frederic Milton Thrasher's magnum opus offers a profound and careful analysis of hundreds of gangs in Chicago in the early part of the twentieth century. With rich prose and an eye for detail, Thrasher looked specifically at the way in which urban geography shaped gangs and posited the thesis that neighborhoods in flux were more likely to produce gangs. Moreover, he traced gang culture back to feudal and medieval power systems...

El desencantamiento del mundo

Libro El desencantamiento del mundo

Con seis apartados de riguroso análisis y un agudo prólogo, en esta obra se presenta la traducción de seis estudios de Wolfgang Schluchter acerca de la teoría sociológica del desencantamiento del mundo de Max Weber. Según esta teoría, desarrollada por medio de las tesis del desencantamiento y la reconstrucción evolutiva, para que haya propiamente un desencantamiento, es necesario que antes hubiera un encantamiento, caracterizado sobre todo por la religión y, con ésta, por la explicación del mundo inmanente a partir del trascendente. No obstante, este proceso posibilita una nueva...
