Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 436
Book Description
Esta es la historia de una gran mentira entre los miembros de una familia de clase media: los Daniels. El rumbo de sus vidas cambia drásticamente a causa de un matrimonio y el nacimiento de un hijo. La dependencia al alcohol de los Daniels, la malsana influencia de los Powell y el fracaso espiritual de un sacerdote, derrumba la frágil estructura que sostiene a nuestros personajes que caen atrapados en una telaraña de intriga entretejida con deslealtad, venganza y lujuria. Abrumados por el devastador resultado de sus propios actos, no comprenden sino hasta muy tarde, que han sido ellos mismos las únicas víctimas, por querer controlar el destino de otros con el único propósito de satisfacer sus malsanas intenciones. Por estar reducidos a vivir en perenne turbiedad no sospechan que la reconciliación y redención interna estuvieron esperando desde un principio y sin sospecharlo detrás del amor.

Nicaraguan Perspectives
The State, Literacy, and Popular Education in Chile, 1964-1990
Author: Robert Austin
Publisher: Lexington Books
ISBN: 9780739102886
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 418
Book Description
The popular education and adult literacy movements in Chile have historically represented competing paths toward a literate society: one born and nurtured through bitter nineteenth-century labor struggles, the other a compensatory effort by the modern state to limit the political potential of literacy. Robert Austin's book explores the contest between the state and popular education in three paradigmatic Latin American regimes: that of Eduardo Frei Montalva (Christian Democrat, 1964-70), Salvador Allende (Socialist, 1970-73) and Augusto Pinochet (Dictator, 1973-90). Robert Austin's engaging narrative captures the relationship between the Chilean state, formal and non-formal literacy, and popular education, from the demise of liberal capitalism to the consolidation of neoliberalism. This remarkable investigation of the dynamic link between the historical process, literacy, and pedagogy celebrates popular education's victory in securing the inclusion, and subsequent empowerment, of women and ethnic minorities. The State, Literacy, and Popular Education in Chile, 1964-1990 will be of great interest to political scientists, cultural historians, and scholars of education.
