Book Description
Se explica que para la salud humana la satisfacción de "Las Hambres Básicas" de Caricias, Tiempo y Reconocimiento es tan importante como la ingesta de alimentos, oxígeno y agua. Comprenderemos qué son las Endorfinas -la droga de salud, la alegría, el bienestar y el bienhacer. Conoceremos variadas formas de producirlas en nuestro organismo, pero ante todo la que nos proporciona las cinco ganancias más codiciadas: envejecer despacio, mantener un sistema inmunológico invencible, disponer de una gran energía, vivir alegremente, y poder superar cualquier dolor físico o corporal. Esta forma única es la práctica de las Virtudes: Prudencia, Justicia, Fortaleza, Templanza, Fe, Esperanza y Caridad. Queda demostrado que para educar a nuestros hijos en la Virtud, la receta no consiste en "hacer que ellos hagan lo que creemos que ellos deben hacer", ni mucho menos en lograr que "ellos hagan lo que los padres queremos", sino algo muy distinto: que dentro de un "Sistema Incondicional" de Caricias, Tiempo y Reconocimiento, les hagamos vivir la fuerza de nuestro Amor, para que "ellos quieran hacer habitualmente lo que conviene al Bien Común y al Bien Integral" de todos los involucrados en el proceso educativo. Para esto hace falta desarrollar un Liderazgo Transformador: sólo quien se siente amado puede ser educado. Se propone el justo medio entre los dos extremos en pugna: ni moralismo rígido, ni naturalismo hedonista o utilitario, sino del equilibrio entre esos dos extremos. Como estrategias auxiliares se plantea lo que es la Reingeniería de Valores y Virtudes, se analizan las Bases Filosóficas para Jerarquizar los Valores Operantes, Reales; y se propone la sana jerarquía de los Nueve Valores Universales, así como el rechazo de los Contravalores. El libro concluye con una explicación apasionante: ¿Quién Soy Yo? A la vez que se exponen los Fundamentos Filosóficos de la Dignidad de la Persona.

Book Description
INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER • NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE FINALIST • From the award-winning, internationally bestselling Spanish author of A Heart So White comes an immersive, provocative novel propelled by a seemingly random murder. "Sometimes startling, sometimes hilarious, and always intelligent ... Marías [has] a penetrating empathy."—The New York Times Book Review Each day before work María Dolz stops at the same café. There she finds herself drawn to a couple who is also there every morning. Observing their seemingly perfect life helps her escape the listlessness of her own. But when the man is brutally murdered and María approaches the widow to offer her condolences, what began as mere observation turns into an increasingly complicated entanglement. Invited into the widow's home, she meets—and falls in love with—a man who sheds disturbing new light on the crime. As María recounts this story, we are given a murder mystery brilliantly encased in a metaphysical enquiry, a novel that grapples with questions of love and death, chance and coincidence, and above all, with the slippery essence of the truth and how it is told.

Book Description
Cecilia Valdés is arguably the most important novel of 19th century Cuba. Originally published in New York City in 1882, Cirilo Villaverde's novel has fascinated readers inside and outside Cuba since the late 19th century. In this new English translation, a vast landscape emerges of the moral, political, and sexual depravity caused by slavery and colonialism. Set in the Havana of the 1830s, the novel introduces us to Cecilia, a beautiful light-skinned mulatta, who is being pursued by the son of a Spanish slave trader, named Leonardo. Unbeknownst to the two, they are the children of the same father. Eventually Cecilia gives in to Leonardo's advances; she becomes pregnant and gives birth to a baby girl. When Leonardo, who gets bored with Cecilia after a while, agrees to marry a white upper class woman, Cecilia vows revenge. A mulatto friend and suitor of hers kills Leonardo, and Cecilia is thrown into prison as an accessory to the crime. For the contemporary reader Helen Lane's masterful translation of Cecilia Valdés opens a new window into the intricate problems of race relations in Cuba and the Caribbean. There are the elite social circles of European and New World Whites, the rich culture of the free people of color, the class to which Cecilia herself belonged, and then the slaves, divided among themselves between those who were born in Africa and those who were born in the New World, and those who worked on the sugar plantation and those who worked in the households of the rich people in Havana. Cecilia Valdés thus presents a vast portrait of sexual, social, and racial oppression, and the lived experience of Spanish colonialism in Cuba.
