El libro Reflexiones desde el confinamiento. Experiencias de investigación y aprendizaje durante crisis distópicas, reúne una polifonía de voces que narran cómo la pandemia transformó radicalmente nuestras formas de investigar, enseñar y vivir. Resultado a la vez de un proceso de docencia e investigacion, la obra articula experiencias de comunidades rurales del Valle del Cauca marcadas por confinamientos armados y pandemicos con las reflexiones de estudiantes que enfrentaron la educacion sin aula y la reinvencion de sus rituales cotidianos.A traves de relatos, imagenes y ejercicios sentipensantes, se exploran los desafios metodologicos, las desigualdades amplificadas por la crisis y la fuerza de los cuidados y los emprendimientos comunitarios como respuestas creativas a la incertidumbre. Mas que un testimonio del encierro, este libro es una invitacion y actualizacion de la experiencia para juntar los pedazos y reconocer que, incluso en tiempos distopicos, es posible tejer vinculos, reimaginar practicas y construir esperanza colectiva desde los mundos posibles de la investigacion y la docencia.

Una reflexión ágil y viva acerca de la forma en que literatura y política se entrelazanEn este ensayo conciso y clarividente, Richard Ford enuncia algo que muchos de sus lectores han intuido desde siempre en sus libros: que lo artistico, lo etico, lo publico y lo privado no son esferas separadas, sino facetas de una misma experiencia; que, en literatura, lo politico se inscribe en lo intimo, en el lenguaje y en la mirada atenta sobre lo cotidiano.En un iluminador recorrido por su vida y su obra, Ford nos invita a acompañarlo por su Misisipi natal, donde, como es sabido, las leyes no han de entenderse al pie de la letra; por Mexico, donde comprendio que solo el noir podia plasmar la violencia y la corrupcion que lo rodeaba; por las primeras novelas de Frank Bascombe, gracias a las que comprendio que la polis aristotelica comienza en el propio hogar.En palabras sencillas alumbra una pregunta siempre presente en la obra de Ford: ¿como vivir con decencia en un mundo en el que la politica tiende a ser deshonesta? Y lo hace con ironia, con ligereza, rechazando cualquier atisbo de solemnidad: rasgos que son marca de estilo de su literatura. Mucho mas que un testimonio personal, este libro es una meditacion sobre lo que la novela puede y debe seguir siendo hoy: una forma de verdad, de compromiso y de humanidad, en la que lo personal y lo politico se entrelazan indisolublemente.

In his new book, Andreas Englisch recounts the gripping story of the conclave following the death of Pope Francis and traces the path of Leo XIV, the first American to hold the papal office. To do so, he meets companions, close collaborators, family members and people from the places where the new pope previously carried out his work in the United States, Peru and Rome who offer valuable insights into his life, his faith and his actions.Englisch describes how Robert Francis Prevost, originally from Chicago, decides to become a missionary and, with the support of Pope Francis, forges a remarkable career: from the humblest beginnings to the very top of the Throne of Peter. The result is a portrait of a religious leader who truly is as humble, conciliatory and discreet as he appeared during the first weeks of his pontificate a pope who, in his own words, wishes to govern as an equal among equals.Facing enormous challenges and a crisis of confidence of historic proportions, the future of the Catholic Church will now depend on Leo XIVs skill and ability to act.

En su nuevo libro, Andreas Englisch narra la apasionante historia del cónclave tras la muerte del papa Francisco y sigue las huellas de León XIV, el primer estadounidense en ocupar el cargo pontificio. Para ello, se encuentra con compañeros de camino, colaboradores cercanos, familiares y personas de los lugares donde el nuevo papa ha desarrollado su labor en el pasado en Estados Unidos, Peru y Roma, quienes ofrecen valiosas perspectivas sobre su vida, su fe y sus acciones. Andreas Englisch relata como Robert Francis Prevost, oriundo de Chicago, decide convertirse en misionero y, gracias al apoyo del papa Francisco, forja una carrera unica: desde los niveles mas humildes hasta lo mas alto del Trono de Pedro. Surge asi el retrato de un religioso que es realmente tan humilde, conciliador y discreto como se ha mostrado durante las primeras semanas de su pontificado: un papa que, segun sus propias palabras, desea gobernar como un igual entre iguales. Ante desafios de enorme magnitud y una crisis de confianza de alcance historico, el futuro de la Iglesia catolica dependera ahora de la habilidad y la capacidad de accion de Leon XIV.

Una épica historia de amor imposible y dignidad personal durante los años convulsos de la Revolución rusaDurante los años convulsos de la Revolución rusa, Yuri Zhivago, médico y poeta, lucha por preservar su dignidad mientras el mundo se desmorona a su alrededor. Casado con Tonia, pero profundamente enamorado de Lara, vive dividido entre el deber y el deseo, entre la lealtad y la aspiracion de mantenerse fiel a si mismo. Su historia, marcada por la guerra y por la pasion que lo empuja hacia Lara, transcurre entre Moscu y el frente, en hospitales de campaña, en trenes que atraviesan la vasta estepa rusa, en la soledad de los bosques de Varikino. El doctor Zhivago es, ante todo, una exploracion del alma humana: un viaje entre la tragedia y la esperanza, entre el compromiso y la belleza que sobrevive incluso en plena devastacion.Prohibida en la Union Sovietica, la novela vio la luz en 1957 gracias al coraje del editor Giangiacomo Feltrinelli, quien en plena Guerra Fria la publico en un gesto inequivoco de desafio a la censura, abriendo el camino a su reconocimiento mundial. Su exito internacional y la casi inmediata concesion del Premio Nobel a Pasternak convirtieron la obra en un simbolo de libertad artistica y de independencia intelectual. El doctor Zhivago se alza como una de las grandes novelas del siglo xx: una meditacion sobre la conciencia, la libertad y la integridad del espiritu humano, y un testimonio del poder de la literatura como forma de resistencia.

From #1 New York Times bestselling author John Grisham comes the harrowing true story of a Texas father condemned to die for a crime that never happened.John Grisham is known worldwide as the master of the legal thriller, and one of our most popular novelists, but his lifelong passion for justice has also led him to work extensively with The Innocence Project, and inspired him to tell often shocking stories of wrongful convictionsfirst in The Innocent Man, the basis for the Netflix documentary, and most recently in the #1 bestseller Framed, written with Jim McCloskey.Now he turns an unflinching eye to the tragic case of Robert Roberson, a Texas father who has spent years on death row for a crime he did not commit.
