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.

Dedica la mayor parte de su discurso a la relación entre violencia y reciprocidad, que se manifiesta de múltiples formas de acuerdo con la capacidad de respuesta de quienes son violentados y con ...

Vida líquida

Libro Vida líquida

A Polish-born sociologist considered by many to be the most brilliant and original social thinkers of our time, explores the consquences of contemporary "liquid life"--a fluid, rapidly changing life during which the most overpowering worries are the fears of being caught napping, failing to catch up with fast moving events, overlooking the "use by" dates, being saddled with worthless possessions, missing the moment calling for a change of tack, and being left behind.
