Fangio
Juan Manuel Fangio's name is indelibly inscribed in the record books and many consider him to be the greatest driver in history. It was 46 years before his record of five World Championships was beaten, but even now he is still remembered for an exceptional Formula 1 career which contained some of the greatest displays of skill and daring ever seen. Few though know of his almost super-human exploits in epic South American road races that made competition at the pinnacle of motor sport seem like child's play. Gerald Donaldson chronicles not only those arduous early competitions but also his long journey from humble origins in remote Argentina to the lofty heights of international celebrity.

Battle for Peace
This is the comprehensive account of the long and difficult road traveled to end the fifty-year armed conflict with the FARC, the oldest guerrilla army in the world; a long war that left more than eight million victims. The obstacles to peace were both large and dangerous. All previous attempts to negotiate with the FARC had failed, creating an environment where differences were irreconcilable and political will was scarce. The Battle for Peace is the story not only of the six years of negotiation and the peace process that transformed a country, its secret contacts, its international implications, and difficulties and achievements but also of the two previous decades in which Colombia oscillated between warlike confrontation and negotiated solution.In The Battle for Peace Juan Manuel Santos shares the lessons he learned about war and peace and how to build a successful negotiation process in the context of a nation which had all but resigned itself to war and the complexities of twenty-first-century international law and diplomacy. While Santos is clear that there is no handbook for making peace, he offers conflict-tested guidance on the critical parameters, conditions, and principles as well as rich detail on the innovations that made it possible for his nation to find common ground and a just solution.

Book of Count Lucanor and Patronio
Don Juan Manuel, nephew of King Alfonso X, The Wise, knew well the appeal of exempla (moralized tales), which he believed should entertain if they were to provide ways and means for solving life's problems. His fourteenth-century book, known as El Conde lucanor, is considered by many to be the purest Spanish prose before the immortal Don Quixote of Cervantes written two centuries later. He found inspiration for his tales in classical and eastern literatures, Spanish history, and folklore. His stories are not translations, but are his retelling of some of the best stories in existence. The translation succeeds in making the author speak as clearly to the modern reader as to readers of his own time.

Poesia De Alta Traicion
Poesia de alta traicion es un fotopoemario donde la fotografia no ilustra la poesia, ni el poema es imagen hablada. Las dos se complementan. Cada medio va estableciendo la secuencia de su propio desarrollo, cambiando ritmos y motivos al mismo son pero manteniendo la fuerza de cada uno. Esta nocion de complementariedad es importante tenerla presente para ajustar el grado de relacion entre ambos medios. Del mismo modo, ambos lenguajes forman parten de una estetica en comun: la de la ruptura. Una ruptura con los valores y las normas simbolicas que construyen la identidad de la mujer, haciendo gala de un distanciamiento ironico y mostrando la fuerza de la rebeldia que origina esta ruptura. Desde esta optica, la poesia de Beatriz Ramirez esta comprometida con una busqueda de la verdad individual. Por su parte, los fotografos Manuel A. Velandia y Juan Sanz vinculan la traicion con la corporalidad, y lo hacen recuperando un imaginario del cuerpo muy presente entre las vanguardias historicas y las neovanguardias.

Dios Es Redondo (Crónica Y Ensayo) / God Is Round (Chronicles and Essays)
«En sentido literal, Villoro es un periodista y profesor de literatura mexicano. Pero cuando escribe de futbol esos títulos son insuficientes. Al abordar "el juego hermoso", el autor es un poeta y un crítico, un filósofo y un historiador, un observador atento y un fan entregado», Kirkus Reviews. Las crónicas sobre futbol de Juan Villoro alternan el sabroso tono de la tertulia con la épica recuperación de los grandes lances: «El juego sucede dos veces, en la cancha y en la mente del público. Dios es redondo pretende situarse en esta encrucijada. No es un libro de historia del deporte ni una valoración de sus logros, sino una exploración narrativa de las pasiones que suscita». Dios es redondo obtuvo en Barcelona el Premio Internacional Manuel Vázquez Montalbán, que significó la consagración de su autor como cronista de la pasión futbolera y de los feligreses que renuevan su fe con cada gol. Aquí Villoro se adentra en el principal espectáculo del planeta y demuestra por qué la FIFA tiene más agremiados que la ONU. Un protagonista esencial de esta galería de retratos es Diego Armando Maradona, el más desaforado divo de las canchas. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION "Literally speaking, Villoro is a Mexican journalist and literature professor. But when he writes about soccer, those titles are insufficient. In tackling 'the beautiful game, ' the author becomes a poet and a critic, a philosopher and a historian, a keen observer and a devoted fan," Kirkus Reviews. Juan Villoro's chronicles of soccer alternate between the lively tone of conversation and the epic recovery of great plays: "The game happens twice, on the field and in the mind of the audience. Dios es redondo seeks to place itself at this crossroads. It is not a history of the sport nor an assessment of its achievements, but a narrative exploration of the passions it arouses." Dios es redondo received the International Manuel Vázquez Montalbán Prize in Barcelona, marking the author's consecration as a chronicler of soccer passion and of the faithful who renew their devotion with every goal. Here Villoro delves into the planet's greatest spectacle and shows why FIFA has more members than the UN. A central figure in this gallery of portraits is Diego Armando Maradona, the most extravagant star of the pitch.
