Paperback. Zustand: Good. Hace más de 500 años, en unas circunstancias totalmente diferentes, Maquiavelo redactó EL Príncipe para describir la conducta que debía tener la autoridad con el objeto de sujetar el poder firmemente. Este libro va dirigido a los presidentes y, muy especialmente, a quienes deben elegirlo. Está concebido para una época, la nuestra, en la que prevalece la democracia liberal y la que convencer es mucho más importante que vencer. El presidente tiene tres partes, la primera parte (Presidentes) es una reflexión sobre las características que debe tener esa persona que tiene la responsabilidad de dirigir los destinos del país y una descripción de cómo son y cómo funcionan los Estados más prósperos y felices del planeta. La segunda parte (Cómo se llega a la presidencia) es una incursión en la técnica electoral y la tercera parte, (Cómo se es un buen presidente) ofrece consejos, sugerencias y observaciones. Desde cómo y por qué elegir a los miembros del gabinete, hasta lecciones elementales de economía política. También incluye una advertencia contra los enemigos permanentes del buen gobierno: la corrupción y las supersticiones marxistas y populistas * Carlos Alberto Montaner ha escrito 30 libros y miles de artículos. Es analista político de CNN en español.* La revista Foreign Policy lo ha calificado como uno de los 50 comunicadores más influyentes de la lengua española. * Un libro dirigido a los interesados en la política y la situación actual. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION More than 500 years ago, in totally different circumstances, Machiavelli wrote The Prince to describe the ways that authority figures should behave with the objective of firmly grasping power. This book is directed to presidents, and especially to those who must elect them. It is conceived of for a time--ours--in which liberal democracy prevails and in which it is much more important to convince than to defeat. The President has three parts: the first part ("Presidents") is a reflection about the characteristics that the person responsible for directing the country's destiny should have, and a description of what the most prosperous, happiest states on the planet are like and how they work. The second part ("How one gets to the presidency") is an investigation into the electoral process, and the third part ("What a good president is like") offers advice, suggestions, and observations, from how and why to choose cabinet members to basic political economy lessons. It also includes a warning about the enemies of good government: corruption, and Marxist and populist superstitions. * Carlos Alberto Montaner has written 30 books and thousands of articles, and is a CNN en español analyst. * Foreign Policy magazine has rated him one of the 50 most influential communicators in Spanish. * A book directed at those interested in politics and the current situation.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. El amor, la traición y la muerte en la Guerra Fría Es el año 1947, y Rafael Mallo, escritor trotskista formado en Moscú, está preso en una cárcel franquista, en la agónica espera de que lo fusilen. Lleva siete años encerrado. Sorprendentemente, lo ponen en libertad y se reencuentra con una antigua amante, Sarah Vandor, con quien vivió una relación tormentosa. Es el comienzo de la Guerra Fría. La URSS y Estados Unidos se enfrentan secretamente en el terreno de las ideas, pero eso no excluye que, literalmente, rueden algunas cabezas. Tiempo de canallas es un thriller político, es el recuento de una época, y es, además, una historia de amores y traiciones con un inesperado final. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The year is 1947. Rafael Mallo, prisoner in a Francoist penitentiary, is waiting in agony for his execution. A Trotsykist writer educated in Moscow, he has been locked up for seven years. Surprisingly, though, he is freed, and he is soon reunited with a former lover, Sarah Vandor. They had--and now resume--a stormy relationship. It's the beginning of the Cold War. The USSR and the United States are secretly opposed in the land of ideas, but that doesn't mean that heads won't literally roll. Who is behind these crimes? It's difficult to know. Time of Scoundrels tells it all. It's a political.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. "Llegó la hora de recapitular. Hay que ir haciendo las maletas. Desaparecer es una actividad ingrata que solo se justifica porque es la única prueba irrefutable de que hemos vivido".   Las anticipadas memorias del escritor y periodista cubano Carlos Alberto Montaner hablan de cuanto él ha visto y oído, de lo que ha creído y lo que recuerda. Aunque, y el autor lo advierte con antelación, entretejidos en esos recuerdos puede haber algunos pasajes involuntariamente forjados por la imaginación de un escritor que también cultiva con éxito la ficción. En estas páginas, Montaner escribe sobre la Revolución cubana, un proceso que conmocionó su adolescencia y cuyo derrotero moldearía su vida desde entonces, aun en el exilio. Acto seguido, recuenta el peregrinaje que comenzó a los dieciocho años y que ha durado las cuatro quintas partes de su vida, marcado por ese anhelo intenso de ver a Cuba libre que ha propulsado toda su obra. ". no recuerdo un solo día en el que esa isla no hubiera estado presente en mí de alguna forma. Siempre ha existido una llamada, una noticia, un visitante, un artículo, un libro, una entrevista, una firma colectiva, una conversación, algo que me obligaba a recordar mi condición de exiliado y me retrotraía al centro del conflicto". Íntimo, ameno y revelador, Sin ir más lejos no es solo la vida de Carlos Alberto Montaner y su familia cercana, es también la historia de Cuba y de la diáspora cubana. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION "Let's recap. Get packing. Disappearing is a thankless activity that is only justified because it is the only irrefutable proof that we have lived."   In this book, Cuban writer and journalist Carlos Alberto Montaner talks about all that he has seen and heard, believed and remembered, but he warns that there may be some passages that were unwittingly invented: "sometimes, even, dreams mix with reality and it is difficult to know where one ends and the other begins. Memories are not historical studies but the reflection of perceptions, and those inevitably blur or transform over time."   With these memories, which he decided to start writing in 2015, Montaner talks about the Cuban Revolution, which happened during his adolescence and forever shaped his life. He continues with his years in exile, which started when he was 18 and took him from Miami to Puerto Rico, then to Spain and again to Miami, always with one foot on a plane. "I will use these memories to dabble in historical and political judgment."   Despite having lived outside of Cuba for 80% of his life, Montaner warns that "I don't remember a single day in which that island wasn't present in me in some way. There has always been a call, a piece of news, a visitor, an article, a book, an interview, a joint venture, a conversation, something that requires me to remember my condition as an exile and takes me back to the center of the conflict.".…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. David Benda, quien realizaría el último retrato de Sigmund Freud, es el nombre tras el que se esconde un joven y extraordinario pintor. David es judío y vive una intensa pasión con una bella joven vienesa "aria", en un momento histórico terrible en que esas relaciones son un delito. Los nazis están a punto de entrar en Austria, y esa invasión será el preludio de la Segunda Guerra Mundial y de una fascinante historia de amor, violencia y resistencia a la tiranía. David huye a La Habana a bordo del Saint Louis, "el barco de los condenados", ciudad donde vuelve a enamorarse y donde desea ardientemente echar raíces y olvidarse para siempre de Europa y sus crueldades. Lo atormentan el recuerdo de una muerte trágica y la necesidad de vengarse de un asesino al que una vez consideró su amigo. Lamentablemente, tampoco consigue arraigar en Cuba. Otra vez tiene que huir a un nuevo país y, sin proponérselo, a otros brazos. En Nueva York se reencuentra con un viejo amor de juventud y se aproxima de nuevo a la felicidad. La historia de David Benda, llena de aventuras y desventuras, de amores y desencuentros, es la del siglo que terminó hace pocos años. De alguna manera, es la historia de todos. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Brynne's trust and she's left him. He's unwilling to live without her and isn't giving up he's dead-set on getting his beautiful American girl back.

With political threats now directed at Brynne, Ethan is running out of time and he'll need to gather all his strength and agility to protect her from the dangers that could take her away from him forever. Will Ethan be able to save Brynne from a past that keeps her locked in fear.…
