Las armas del alba: Guerra En El Paraíso / Las Armas Del Alba (Narradores Contemporáneos Ser.)
by Carlos MontemayorLas armas del alba es la primera investigación sistemática, minuciosa y a fondo de los acontecimientos históricos del inicio de la guerrilla mexicana y su primera expresión literaria plena. "La novela restituye memoria y dignidad. Montemayor lo hace con habilidad literaria y admirable firmeza civil." Giovanni Gentile G. Marchetti, Universidad de Bolonia. El 23 de septiembre de 1965, un puñado de guerrilleros atacó el cuartel militar de Ciudad Madera, en el estado de Chihuahua. Este breve acto marcó el surgimiento de las guerrillas en la historia reciente de México y sirvió como inspiración a futuros levantamientos armados en el país. Las armas del alba es una novela donde los personajes luchan contra su destino y cuyo sacrificio sirvió para que los poderosos escucharan la voz de los explotados. Estamos ante una brillante narración, inspirada por hechos reales que sacudieron la estructura de poder en México.
Armas, gérmenes y acero: Breve historia de la humanidad en los últimos trece mil años
by Jared DiamondArmas, gérmenes y acero, Premio Pulitzer 1997, cuestiona la prepotente visión occidental del progreso humano y nos ayuda a comprender cómo el mundo moderno y sus desigualdades han llegado a ser como son. Hace 13.000 años la evolución de las distintas sociedades humanas comenzó a tomar rumbos diferentes. La temprana domesticación de animales y el cultivo de plantas silvestres en el Creciente Fértil, China, Mesoamérica y otras zonas geográficas otorgó una ventaja inicial a sus habitantes. Sin embargo, los orígenes localizados de la agricultura y la ganadería son solo una parte de la explicación de los diferentes destinos de los pueblos. Las sociedades que superaron esta fase de cazadores-recolectores se encontraron con más probabilidades de desarrollo, supervivencia y poder bélico. Reseña:«Uno de los estudios históricos más originales y sugerentes de los últimos años.»Juan Avilés, El Mundo

Armed in Her Fashion
by Kate Heartfield“Heartfield’s impressive novel tells the story of folklore figure Mad Meg (or Dull Gret), who legendarily led a group of women to pillage hell” (Publishers Weekly, starred review). In 1328, Bruges is under siege by the Chatelaine of Hell and her army of chimeras—humans mixed with animals or armor, forged in the deep fires of the Hellbeast. At night, revenants crawl over the walls and bring plague and grief to this city of widows. Margriet de Vos learns she’s a widow herself when her good-for-nothing husband comes home dead from the war. He didn’t come back for her—in fact he moves right past her, pulls a secret chest of coins and weapons from under his floorboards, and goes back through the mouth of the beast called Hell. Margriet killed her first soldier when she was eleven, and she’s buried six of her seven children. She’ll do anything for Beatrix, her last surviving child, even if it means raiding Hell itself to get her inheritance back. Beatrix is haunted by a dead husband of her own, and blessed—or cursed—with an enchanted distaff that allows her to control the revenants and see the future. Together with a transgender man-at-arms who has unfinished business with the Chatelaine, a traumatized widow with a giant water-powered forge-hammer at her disposal, and a wealthy alderman’s wife who escapes Bruges with her children, Margriet and Beatrix forge a raiding party like Hell has never seen. “A strange, compelling, genre-bending debut . . . Part horror, part fantasy, part history, and part epic, it combines all of its elements into a commentary on gender, power, and patriarchy.” —Tor.com

Armer Heinrich, reicher Heinrich - Deutscher Heinrich: Die literarische Karriere eines Namens im neunzehnten Jahrhundert
by Rebecca RichterDer Eigenname ist als sprachliches Phänomen Gegenstand vielfältiger wissenschaftlicher Betrachtung. In der Literatur erfüllt er seine Funktion unter anderem durch sein assoziatives Potenzial, das im Einzelwerk herauszuarbeiten eine literaturwissenschaftliche Grunddisziplin darstellt. Nun wird die deutsche Literatur des neunzehnten Jahrhunderts von einem einzelnen Namen in auffälliger Weise dominiert, nicht nur ob seiner Häufigkeit, sondern vor allem durch die prominente Platzierung in den großen und größten Werken dieser Zeit. Heinrich von Ofterdingen steht neben Heinrich Faust, der grüne Heinrich neben der Königlichen Hoheit Klaus Heinrich. Dabei ist der Eigenname per definitionem zu keiner Zeit ein unbeschriebenes Blatt. Rebecca Richter zeigt, dass der deutsche Herrschername schlechthin durch das neunzehnte Jahrhundert zum deutschen Dichtermythos erweitert wird, dem Künstler-Ich, das in einer sich modernisierenden und ökonomisierenden Welt entweder flüssig wird, oder sich verflüchtigt: Die Anlage zu beidem bringt Heinrich bereits im Namen mit.
