Atrévete a ser quien eres (Edición mexicana)


Book Description

Para poder crecer como persona hay que ser, ante todo, libre interiormente; es decir, pensar, sentir y actuar según los propios valores y principios, asumir que sobre ti solo tú decides y mandas.

Este libro es una guía para que trabajes activamente en el desarrollo de tu libre personalidad, sin sentirte intimidado y respetando los derechos ajenos. Se trata de sacar toda la información basura que te han inculcado desde la infancia para desarrollar el verdadero potencial que posees. Si a veces te sientes desesperanzado porque no encuentras tu lugar en esta vida, no te preocupes, con este libro descubrirás que tu lugar en el mundo está en ti. No necesitas que nadie te cuelgue medallas ni que te elogien desaforadamente, sino solo estar bien contigo mismo. Nada más y nada menos.

Happy Families


Book Description

'The country's living national treasure ... The stories overflow with the kind of insights that only maturity brings. They are also painfully topical ... Fuentes keeps his finger on modern Mexico's pulse' - Ángel Gurría-Quintana, Financial Times 'Fuentes, now 80, is still masterful in evoking the lives of damaged characters ... beautifully observed ... a book seething with timeless rancour' - Independent _____________________ A choral novel on the hopes, disillusionments and betrayals of family life in Mexico. _____________________ A rich Catholic rancher wants his four sons to become priests, while the boys themselves have other plans; a bereaved mother explains her daughter's life to the man who killed her; three daughters meet up around their father's coffin for the first time in ten years; a middle-aged couple meet by chance on a cruise-ship and wonder if they were once young lovers. The result is a picture of contemporary Mexico seen through a violently fragmented narrative, not unlike the internationally successful film Amores Perros. The stories are punctuated by a chorus, commenting as if in a Greek tragedy, crudely and unsentimentally on the underbelly of modern Mexican life, offering a raw but richly textured glimpse of the inequalities of that society - street children, junkies, dead rock icons, the ideal wife, a honeymoon gone wrong, a child suicide, a man faking his death and beginning a new life - that throw the middle-class dramas of the linked stories into harsh relief. Happy Families is a dramatic polyphony of the many conflicting strands of Latin America and the modern urban world.
