Book Description
This book examines what makes accountability for previous violations more or less possible for transitional regimes to achieve. It closely examines the other vital goals of such regimes against which accountability is often balanced. The options available are not simply prosecution or pardon, as the most heated polemics of the debate over transitional justice suggest, but a range of options from complete amnesty through truth commissions and lustration or purification to prosecutions. The question, then, is not whether or not accountability can be achieved, but what degree of accountability can be achieved by a given country. The focus of the book is on the politics of transition: what makes accountability more or less feasible and what strategies are deployed by regimes to achieve greater accountability (or alternatively, greater reform). The result is a more nuanced understanding of the different conditions and possibilities that countries face, and the lesson that there is no one-size-fits-all prescription that can be handed to transitional regimes.

Book Description
Este libro es un tributo a la memoria de mi actriz dramática favorita: Susan Hayward, de descendencia sueco-irlandesa, y quien nació el 30 de junio de 1917 en el sector Flatbush de Brooklyn, Nueva York. Un agente en Hollywood le cambió el nombre, Edythe Marreenner, a Susan Hayward, porque Hayward era lo que consideraba más cercano al apellido de la famosa estrella Rita Hayworth. Durante su niñez vivió en la pobreza y a la sombra de su hermana mayor Florence, la favorita de su madre. Estudió en las escuelas públicas de Nueva York y aún niña, tras ser arrollada por un auto y recibir mala atención en el hospital del condado, quedó coja de una pierna, defecto que supo encubrir toda su vida, convirtiéndolo en su particular forma de andar, algo considerado “sexy” por sus admiradores, a quienes complacía también el tono bajo del registro de su voz..

Book Description
This superb bilingual anthology highlights the posthumous legacy of Pablo Neruda, the great Chilean poet and Nobel laureate, who left a vast body of unpublished work when he died in 1973. Ben Belitt, a distinguished poet in his own right, is widely regarded as the leading translator of Neruda into English. Here he has given us a Neruda as fecund and engaged as ever, ceaselessly spinning the strands of his great, seamless life's work.

Book Description
Te invito a usar tus ojos de una manera diferente. Redescubre el verdadero sentido del mirar: hazlo con los verdaderos ojos, los del espíritu. Cuando aceptes esta invitación, podrás lanzar UNA MIRADA AL CIELO y encontrarás una maravillosa sorpresa: el descubrimiento del paraíso y la vida eterna que se abre ante ti. Realiza conmigo este viaje y encuentra los designios que Dios me ha revelado para ti. Descubre, a través de la lectura de esta obra testimonial, experiencias por las que he pasado yo misma y por las que han pasado otros, y una respuesta a las interrogantes existenciales: ¿Qué es la muerte física? ¿Qué hay más allá de ella? ¿Somos solo polvo que se extingue y lleva el viento o somos un espíritu que trasciende? ¿Existe un juicio superior después de la muerte? Y si es así, ¿quién lo hace? ¿Existe Dios? ¿Qué es el purgatorio? ¿Qué es la vida eterna? ¿Cómo deberé vivir en el aquí y en el ahora para tener derecho a una vida mejor? Como adelanto, quiero decirte que este viaje no tiene fi n. Es apenas un breve itinerario, pero ten cuidado, porque necesitas ir preparado. Como equipaje, debes llevar un corazón sensible y abierto, una actitud humilde para aceptar lo que descubras durante el trayecto y una mente alejada de toda crítica, porque solo de esta manera podrás darle uso a tus nuevos ojos. Pronto estarás de regreso para continuar con la cotidianeidad de tu existencia, y tal vez, después de lanzar UNA MIRADA AL CIELO, tu corazón, tu espíritu y tu mente encontrarán el verdadero sentido de la felicidad y la clave para vivir eternamente en el paraíso, en compañía de Dios y tus seres queridos. ¿Qué esperas? ¡Acompáñame!

Book Description
By the early 1940s, when Ukrainian-born Irène Némirovsky began working on what would become Suite Française—the first two parts of a planned five-part novel—she was already a highly successful writer living in Paris. But she was also a Jew, and in 1942 she was arrested and deported to Auschwitz: a month later she was dead at the age of thirty-nine. Two years earlier, living in a small village in central France—where she, her husband, and their two small daughters had fled in a vain attempt to elude the Nazis—she’d begun her novel, a luminous portrayal of a human drama in which she herself would become a victim. When she was arrested, she had completed two parts of the epic, the handwritten manuscripts of which were hidden in a suitcase that her daughters would take with them into hiding and eventually into freedom. Sixty-four years later, at long last, we can read Némirovsky’s literary masterpiece The first part, “A Storm in June,” opens in the chaos of the massive 1940 exodus from Paris on the eve of the Nazi invasion during which several families and individuals are thrown together under circumstances beyond their control. They share nothing but the harsh demands of survival—some trying to maintain lives of privilege, others struggling simply to preserve their lives—but soon, all together, they will be forced to face the awful exigencies of physical and emotional displacement, and the annihilation of the world they know. In the second part, “Dolce,” we enter the increasingly complex life of a German-occupied provincial village. Coexisting uneasily with the soldiers billeted among them, the villagers—from aristocrats to shopkeepers to peasants—cope as best they can. Some choose resistance, others collaboration, and as their community is transformed by these acts, the lives of these these men and women reveal nothing less than the very essence of humanity. Suite Française is a singularly piercing evocation—at once subtle and severe, deeply compassionate and fiercely ironic—of life and death in occupied France, and a brilliant, profoundly moving work of art.
