Description: La doctrina del shock es la historia no oficial del libre mercado. Desde Chile hasta Rusia, desde Sudafrica hasta Canada la implantacion del libre mercado responde a un programa de ingenieria social y economica que Naomi Klein identifica como «capitalismo del desastre». Tras una investigacion de cuatro anos, Klein explora el mito segun el cual el mercado libre y global triunfo democraticamente, y que el capitalismo sin restricciones va de la mano de la democracia. Por el contrario, Klein sostiene que ese capitalismo utiliza constantemente la violencia, el choque, y pone al descubierto los hilos que mueven las marionetas tras los acontecimientos mas criticos de las ultimas cuatro decadas. Klein demuestra que el capitalismo emplea constantemente la violencia, el terrorismo contra el individuo y la sociedad. Lejos de ser el camino hacia la libertad, se aprovecha de las crisis para introducir impopulares medidas de choque economico, a menudo acompanadas de otras forma de shock no tan metaforicas: el golpe de la prra de los policias, las torturas con electroshocks o la picana en las celdas de las carceles. En este relato apasionante, narrado con pulso firme, Klein repasa la historia mundial reciente (de la dictadura de Pinochet a la reconstruccion de Beirut; del Katrina al tsunami; del 11-S al 11-M, para dar la palabra a un unico protagonista: las diezmadas poblaciones civiles sometidas a la voracidad despiadada de los nuevos duenos del mundo, el conglomerado industrial, comercial y gubernamental para quien los desastres, las guerras y la inseguridad del ciudadano son el siniestro combustible de la economia del shock.

Description: History and fiction are poetically entangled to retell modern Nicaraguan history. In 1907 Rubén Darío, the legendary poet, writes the famous verse, Margarita, está linda la mar, on the fan of a nine-year-old girl. Fifty years later, the same girl plays a role in the plot to assassinate the dictator Anastasio Somoza. Description in Spanish: 1907. León, Nicaragua. Durante un homenaje que le rinde su ciudad natal, Rubén Darío escribe en el abanico de una niña uno de sus más hermosos poemas: "Margarita, está linda la mar...". 1956. En un café de León una tertulia se reúne desde hace años, dedicada, entre otras cosas, a la rigurosa reconstrucción de la leyenda del poeta. Pero también a conspirar. Anastasio Somoza visita la ciudad en compañía de su esposa, doña Salvadorita. Está previsto un banquete de pompa y boato. Habrá un atentado contra la vida del tirano, y aquella niña del abanico, medio siglo más tarde, no será ajena a los hechos.

Description: Critical of the Catholic Church's interpretation of the Bible that has become canonized as a true interpretation, this thoroughly researched analysis approaches the original text and hypothesizes who wrote it, when, and how it has survived and transformed over the centuries. The book additionally argues that textual evidence exists in the Bible for several historical details that directly contradict Catholic belief, such as: Jesus was crucified at 40 years of age rather than 33; he did not spend three days in a tomb; and he had at least seven biological brothers and sisters.
