Meiji 1868: Revolution and Counter-Revolution in Japan (Routledge Library Editions: Japan)

Among the revolutionary movements which shook the nineteenth-century world, the change of government in Japan in 1868 occupies a special place. A new, dynamic ruling class provoked the overthrow of the old rule of the shogun and in a few years the visible structure of feudal society disappeared. The founders of the new Meiji rule had themselves been warriors and thought they were able to resist foreign pressure, but very quickly they adopted western dress gave their country a modern army, built railways and contributed to establishing a great empire. The nature of this transformation has been regarded by western historians as "revolution" and "restoration" – two quite contradictory ideas. But in this book Paul Akamatsu clarifies the picture of the forces at work in this conversion of a backward feudal state into a modern power in a few decades.

Memorable Description of the East Indian Voyage: 1618-25

First published in 1929. 'Fire and shipwreck, fights ashore and afloat, the pitting of ceaseless patience and resource against fate, these things make one understand why the book, famous in its original tongue, has but to be savoured in translation to gain an equal popularity.' Manchester Guardian Bontekoe's East Indian Voyage was one of the most popular books in which the Dutch seventeenth century public delighted and it continued to be reprinted throughout the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. As well as providing an illuminating insight into the machinations of the Merchants and Directors of the East India Company and the often troubled waters of international trade and diplomacy, the account is a very personal one: of a human being battling against elemental forces, at tremendous odds, tenaciously holding on to life and coming through in the end.

Memoria de la palabra: Sentencias Políticas

Un compendio de frases, pensamientos y reflexiones tomadas de entrevistas, artículos periodísticos, discursos y libros publicados por el autor. Memoria de la palabra es un libro peculiar. En sus páginas el lector encontrará una síntesis de temas del pensamiento político y del mundo contemporáneo. El doctor Lorenzo Meyer destaca en el prólogo que el libro integra, a través de frases y pensamientos breves, "la quintaesencia de las ideas" que Porfirio Muñoz Ledo ha expresado sobre la vida política, México y el mundo a lo largo de los años en discursos, declaraciones públicas y escritos: "Se trata, en realidad, de una larga serie de propuestas de definiciones sobre los grandes temas del poder: el concepto mismo de política y los de ética, soberanía, república, democracia, educación o cultura, pasando por temas muy propios de nuestro tiempo, como globalidad, neoliberalismo, transición, derechos humanos y derechos sociales, hasta llegar a la caracterización de personajes concretos". Memoria de la palabra es un libro útil y sugerente. Hay definiciones cruciales sobre los temas políticos, económicos y culturales de la actualidad. Al mismo tiempo, reconstruye las claves del debate intelectual y político de nuestra época.

Memorias

Memorias es un libro autobiográfico que publica Adolfo Bioy Casares en 1994. La de Bioy Casares es una obra extraordinaria y vigente que, además, ofrece una especie de enigma: esa etapa entre 1929 y 1940 en la que publicó varios libros de los que él mismo prefirió no acordarse. En Memorias, sin embargo, ofrece algunas precisiones al respecto. En estas páginas habla también de sus primeros perros y caballos, de sus disidencias con el grupo Sur, de su acceso al género fantástico a partir de un espejo veneciano en el cuarto de vestir materno, de su compleja relación con Silvina Ocampo, de ese folleto sobre el yogur y la leche cuajada que significó el debut de una de las sociedades literarias más destacadas de todos los tiempos con Jorge Luis Borges, de la estancia de los Bioy en Pardo y de un inolvidable hotel que lo motivó a escribir ese particular cóctel que él define con toda naturalidad y terminó por convertirse en uno de los estilos más reconocibles de la literatura argentina: «historias donde conviven animales feroces, que sugieren épocas bárbaras y frívolos turistas de nuestro tiempo».
