Summary:

The epic tale of a woman who breathes a fantastical empire into existence, only to be consumed by it over the centuries - from the transcendent imagination of Booker Prize-winning, internationally bestselling author Salman Rushdie.In the wake of an insignificant battle between two long-forgotten kingdoms in fourteenth-century southern India, a nine-year-old girl has a divine encounter that will change the course of history. After witnessing the death of her mother, the grief-stricken Pampa Kampana becomes a vessel for the Goddess, who begins to speak out of the girl's mouth. Granting her powers beyond Pampa Kampana's comprehension, the goddess tells her that she will be instrumental in the rise of a great city called Bisnaga - literally 'victory city' -the wonder of the world.Over the next two hundred and fifty years, Pampa Kampana's life becomes deeply interwoven with Bisnaga's, from its literal sowing out of a bag of magic seeds to its tragic ruination in the most human of ways: the hubris of those in power. Whispering Bisnaga and its citizens into existence, Pampa Kampana attempts to make good on the task that the Goddess set for her: to give women equal agency in a patriarchal world. But all stories have a way of getting away from their creator, and Bisnaga is no exception. As years pass, rulers come and go, battles are won and lost, and allegiances shift, the very fabric of Bisnaga becomes an ever more complex tapestry - with Pampa Kampana at its centre.Brilliantly styled as a translation of an ancient epic, this is a saga of love, adventure and myth that is in itself a testament to the power of storytelling.

Resumen:

Las reflexiones de estos dos hombres, que en la política y en el ejercicio del poder parecen haberlo visto todo, se enfocan en esta serie de encuentros hacia un mismo punto: el horizonte.

Uno es liberal, el otro socialista; uno defiende las razones del protocolo, el otro se ha encargado de dinamitar las formalidades de la autoridad; uno es colorado, el otro es de origen blanco; uno es traje y zapatos de suela, el otro, camisa leñadora y botas de trabajo. Los dos pasaron los 80 años de vida.

Los dos fueron presidentes de la República Oriental del Uruguay y, por sus diferencias, son dos caras opuestas. Por sus similitudes, son una misma moneda.

Les propusimos llevar a cabo una serie de reuniones en un ambiente distendido, para que conversaran sin interferencias. La consigna era no sumergirse en el pasado, terreno ya visitado, sino hablar del país, que atraviesa un momento de peligrosa crispación; y hacerlo mirando hacia el futuro. Ambos aceptaron generosamente el reto y el resultado es este libro, que tiene aspiraciones de vencer la efímera urgencia del debate político. Las reflexiones de estos dos hombres, que en la política y en el ejercicio del poder parecen haberlo visto todo, se enfocan en el reconocimiento de que aquellas cosas que dividen a los seres humanos, no obstan para que estos, como le viene ocurriendo a nuestra especie desde sus orígenes, solo puedan avanzar hacia un mismo lugar: el horizonte.

Título: crimen argentino

Autor: Reynaldo Sietecase

Narrador: Reynaldo Sietecase

Formato: Unabridged

Duración: 04:06:32

Idioma: Español

Fecha de publicación: 06-22-23

Editor: Penguin Random House Grupo Editorial

Categorías: Fiction & Literature, General

Resumen:

El intento de ejecutar un crimen perfecto con profundas resonancias en la historia del país.

No todo se transforma. Hay cosas que desaparecen sin dejar rastros. Cuerpos que se borran para siempre.

¿Se puede disolver un cuerpo? ¿Es posible reducir un ser humano a la nada? Utilizado en cantidades adecuadas, el ácido sulfúrico logra ese efecto. Cuando el proceso llega a su fin, sólo queda un líquido negruzco, turbio, con una capa superficial que tiene aspecto de costra de carbón.

Una sociedad también se define a sí misma por sus crímenes, por sus formas de matar. Esta es la historia de uno de los homicidios más brutales cometidos en la Argentina. En diciembre de 1980, con la dictadura aún en su apogeo, el abogado Mariano Márquez decide ejecutar su versión del crimen perfecto. Organiza el secuestro extorsivo de un importante empresario y, para alcanzar la impunidad, imita el terror impuesto por el régimen militar: sin cuerpo no hay delito.

Con un estilo implacable, por momentos irónico y siempre efectivo, Reynaldo Sietecase moldea la realidad para construir una historia perturbadora de final imprevisible, cuya trama seduce desde la primera línea y, como una tela de araña, nos atrapa sutil pero definitivamente.

La crítica dijo...

Reynaldo Sietecase es una de las voces más originales y fuertes de la literatura contemporánea en lengua castellana. Utilizando la estructura de la novela negra como marco narrativo, su ficción explora de forma detallada y sutil el mundo social posterior a la dictadura militar, un mundo en el que tanto los valores éticos, morales y políticos, como también las convenciones de la vida cotidiana, fueron transformados radicalmente. La violencia aparente en la ficción de Sietecase se refleja en su estilo agudo y tajante que no deja de recordar la voz de Celine por el manejo de lengua y Heinrich Böll por la temática y la agudez psicológica.

Alberto Manguel

En la ya larga tradición de la novela policial argentina, Reynaldo Sietecase crea una variante inexplorada: la unión de la política con el thriller de terror.

Tomás Eloy Martínez

Así narra, separando la causa del efecto, la acción del motivo. Uniendo literatura con oficio y lectura con historia, haciendo un policial brillante y notoriamente argentino.

Résumé:

Philippe B., alias Aton, n'aurait jamais dû se trouver à la place qui fut si souvent la sienne durant ces quinze dernières années : en tête d'une colonne d'assaut du GIGN.

Élevé à la dure, son aptitude aux arts martiaux l'amène très tôt aux frontières de l'ultra-violence et de la délinquance. Pourtant, depuis qu'il a suivi en direct à la télévision le célèbre assaut du GIGN sur un Airbus à Marignane, alors qu'il avait 16 ans, Philippe B. a pour nouvelle ambition d'intégrer le 'Groupe'.

Après un parcours sinueux et semé d'embûches, il passe les tests de sélection et finit parmi les premiers de sa promotion, mais les psychologues s'opposent à sa candidature en raison de son profil pour le moins atypique et de ses erreurs de jeunesse.

Les instructeurs en décident autrement : ils savent qu'ils vont pouvoir canaliser son énergie et lui offrir une nouvelle vie, celle d'un opérationnel du GIGN.

Voici donc l'histoire de Philippe B., un 'OPS' au parcours hors du commun - chuteur opérationnel, instructeur en sports de combat, expert en explosifs et tireur d'exception dont l'adresse sera déterminante pour la réussite de certaines missions. Entre son éducation 'spartiate' et ses interventions en Libye, dans le golfe d'Aden, en Irak, ou ses dernières opérations antiterroristes sur le territoire national, il lève le voile sur le quotidien des opérationnels du GIGN.

Title: These Seats Are Reserved: Caste, Quotas and the Constitution of India

Author: Abhinav Chandrachud

Narrator: Anuj Datta

Format: Unabridged

Length: 06:42:00

Language: English

Release date: 06-13-23

Publisher: Random House (Audio)

Genres: Non-Fiction, Politics, History, Social Science, Law

Summary:

Reservation or affirmative action is a hugely controversial policy in India. While constitutionally mandated and with historians, political scientists and social activists convinced of its need, many resist it and consider it as compromising 'merit' and against the principle of equality of opportunity.In These Seats Are Reserved, Abhinav traces the history and making of the reservation policy.How were groups eligible for reservations identified and defined? How were the terms 'depressed classes' and 'backward classes' used in British India and how have they evolved into the constitutional concepts of 'Scheduled Castes', 'Scheduled Tribes', and 'Other Backward Classes' in the present day?The book delves into the intellectual debates that took place on this matter in the Constituent Assembly, the Supreme Court and Parliament. Several contentious issues are examined dispassionately: are reservations an exception to the principle of equality of opportunity? Do quotas in government service undermine efficiency? Can 'merit' really be defined neutrally? What is the thinking behind the rule that no more than 50 per cent of the available seats or positions can be reserved?Deeply researched and ably narrated, this volume is a compelling addition to every thinking individual's library.
