Resumen del Ebook

Libro Troubled Memory, Second Edition

This powerful book tells the story of Anne Skorecki Levy, a Holocaust survivor who transformed the horrors of her childhood into a passionate mission to defeat the political menace of reputed neo-Nazi and Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke. The first book to connect the prewar and wartime experiences of Jewish survivors to the lives they subsequently made for themselves in the United States, Troubled Memory is also a dramatic testament to how the experiences of survivors as new Americans spurred their willingness to bear witness. Perhaps the only family to survive the liquidation of the Warsaw Ghetto as a group, the Skoreckis evaded deportation to Treblinka by posing as Aryans. The family eventually made their way to New Orleans, where they became part of a vibrant Jewish community. Lawrence Powell traces their dramatic odyssey and explores the events that eventually triggered Anne Skorecki Levy's brave decision to honor the suffering of the past by confronting the recurring specter of racist hatred.

La religión del antiguo Egipto

Libro La religión del antiguo Egipto

La religión del Antiguo Egipto nos ofrece una impresionante serie de dioses, muchos de ellos con extrañas apariencias, medio humanos y medio animales. Todos los rituales de los templos, las prácticas funerarias y los ritos destinados a prevenir peligros y enfermedades parecen muy alejados del mundo occidental y su culto a la ciencia y a la racionalidad. En La Antigua Religión Egipcia, el autor se propone situar los textos, imágenes y objetos de la religión faraónica en el contexto del mundo que los produjo. Pueden ser considerados como respuestas humanas a determinadas condiciones...

Libro Haití: Una Herida Palpitante

La reciente entrega al gobierno haitiano de una moderna universidad donada por el gobierno dominicano ha vuelto a poner sobre el tapete el complicado tema de las relaciones entre ambas naciones. Parece ser una constante histrica del devenir de nuestros pueblos, unidos por lazos de toda ndole, y derivados de compartir un mismo escenario geogrfico, que cada cierto tiempo estallen crisis que desatan pasiones encontradas en ambas partes de la isla. Estos desencuentros peridicos que oscurecen momentneamente nuestra natural comunicacin y convivencia, hacen difcil que podamos discernir y orientarnos ...
