Rage & Revenge is a terrifying, up-close and personal look at what war and its aftermath are really like. For too long, the true nature of combat and the "peace" that follows has been concealed from the general public. Most who have never witnessed war naively assume that there are rules and laws governing such contests. As the reader of Rage & Revenge will quickly discover, nothing could be further from the truth. The fact is, all war is wild, chaotic, brutal, and primitive. War is also the refuge where some of the most sick and sadistic among us may live out their darkest fantasies. In an fast-paced, no-nonsense writing style, author Thomas Goodrich offers the reader a riveting glimpse at the true face of war in all its ugly reality . . . and in all its ugly fascination.
In a war of lies, the truth can kill. Jonah Said is a loner and a troublemaker, shipped off by the British army to work with the UN in the buffer zone between Kuwait and Iraq, because they want him out of harm's way. Big mistake. From the minute he lands, Jonah becomes drawn into a deadly spiral of corruption and conspiracy involving Russians, Americans, Arabs and Brits - and none of them tells the truth. And the truth is more dangerous than even Jonah can imagine.

After muy first conversation with Mayté, I was desperate to tell her story to anyone I met. I was in the editorial offices of a regional newspaper, completely alone as it was late in the evening, anad as soon as I put the phone down, I raced out to the streest, without even switching my computer off. There were still a few days to go before her remarkable life story would be splashed across the pages of our delightful local paper, but that was far too long to wait without sharing that astonishing experience.
The greatest battle is fought within the self. Just how far will the actions of mankind push the world to the brink of destruction? The Rage: A Ravaged Soul seeks to answer life’s greatest question in the wake of a single tragic event that sends a ripple effect throughout the world.

Hace algo más de una década, Javier Reverte se embarcó en un proyecto tan personal como colectivo: escribir sobre la época más oscura en la que se ha visto sumida la España del pasado siglo. El resultado es su Trilogía trágica de España, que abarca desde el inicio de la guerra civil hasta los años cincuenta, y en la que el autor hilvana ficción y crónica, épica y rigor narrativo. Banderas en la niebla Una historia real escrita con los rasgos de una novela. Un libro excepcional sobre la Guerra Civil Española. Diciembre de 1936. España arde en una encarnizada guerra y, en muchos lugares, se pelea pueblo por pueblo, casa por casa. Sin conocerse ni saber siquiera el uno del otro, dos hombres de orígenes muy distintos van a encontrarse en una misma suerte: un sangriento enfrentamiento en las sierras jienenses de Lopera, donde el destino unirá sus nombres para siempre. José García Carranza, «El Algabeño», es un torero sevillano, mujeriego y falangista, que se une desde primera hora a los sublevados y participa de manera activa en la represión del pueblo andaluz al frente de los «caballistas» de ultraderecha.

El creciente enfoque multijugador parece que domina el single player en los videojuegos porque cada vez existen más usuarios que disfrutan de compartir destrezas con otros jugadores, aunque ese placer suponga desafíos y experiencias frustrantes. Para comprenderlos, es esencial entender los videojuegos como espacios y no como objetos. ¿Qué es un juego multijugador?, ¿qué significa el acrónimo MMORPG?, ¿cuáles son las características del modelo free-to-play?, ¿qué es un mod?, ¿los videojuegos hacen un aporte a los mundos transmedia? Estas son algunas de las preguntas que pueden responderse en este libro, que ofrece un panorama amplio de ejemplos e ideas de las razones que hicieron que el videojuego escapara de los laboratorios universitarios de los años 70 y comenzara su carrera para instalarse en los genes de nuestra cultura. El lector encontrará en sus textos un material útil, ya sea como una introducción al tema o como un material de lectura, principalmente para estudiantes y profesores de los grados de multimedia, videojuegos y comunicación. El volumen presenta algunos aspectos teóricos aplicables, y aunque ofrece una visión en conjunto, los capítulos pueden ...
Ruggedly sensual Shasa Courtney and coldly upright Manfred De La Rey -- half-brothers, yet as different as British and Boer can be -- share but one trait: a hunger for absolute power in a South Africa battered by ever-mounting tides of black rage that threaten to engulf them all.
La autora, profesora de Historia Contemporánea y decana del Lady Margaret Hall de la Universidad de Oxford, reflexiona en esta lección inaugural acerca de los acontecimientos de la historia durante las recientes décadas y la experiencia histórica de España misma. Ofrece algunas observaciones sobre «los usos de la historia» entendidos como aquellos que damos a la historia, cómo interpretamos y reinterpretamos el pasado y, también, a por qué estudiar historia puede resultarnos útil.
This book collects for the first time a compendium of poems written in English by brigadists, sanitary personnel and journalists that participated or were involved in the Spanish Civil War, as well as by intellectuals, writers and journalists that supported the republican cause from the outside. The anthology starts from a previous historical framework in which this poetic legacy has been contextualized, to know where, when, how and why these poems were written, and who wrote them or who were their protagonists. All these analyses have served to understand the causes of why this poetic legacy has been denied and has not received the recognition it deserves today.

The contributions to this volume inquire into many important issues of Plutarchean scholarship: the conditions under which Plutarch`s writings were split into two distinct corpora, his methods of work and the various authorial techniques employed, the interplay between Lives and Moralia, Plutarch and politics, Plutarch and philosophy, literary aspects of Plutarch`s œuvre, Plutarch on women, Plutarch in his epistemological and socio-historical context. The contributors offer in-sights that throw new light on Plutarch`s personality and illustrate the unity of his varied literary production.

Este libro constituye un brillante ejercicio de investigación y de critica cultural. La autora nos sitúa la obra poética de tres autoras irlandesas, Eavan Boland, Nuala Ní Dhomhnail y Paula Meehan, en su entorno ideológico y artístico, mostrando la subversión efectuada por escritos y artistas en su definición de una Irlanda postnacionalista, cuya historia y mitología releen desde la contemporaneidad y el feminismo
