Despus de ms de 20 aos de docencia en la enseanza secundaria me he permitido elaborar el libro que me hubiera gustado poder consultar cuando empec.Sin atenerme a ninguna programacin escolar vigente he desarrollado aquellos temas que creo que debera tratar una introduccin a la Poltica.Aunque siempre he buscado la sencillez expositiva no por ello he obviado ninguna cuestin por su supuesta complejidad.Partiendo de los fundamentos comunes a la tica y la Poltica, la libertad y la justicia, me adentro en un desarrollo simple basado en la relacin entre ambas disciplinas a lo largo del tiempo. No pretendo ser exhaustivo con los autores tratados, pues eso dara lugar a otro tipo de manual ms lleno de datos y detalles, sino esbozar los temas tal y como han ido apareciendo a lo largo de la Historia.Al hilo de los filsofos clsicos como Platn, Aristteles, Maquiavelo, Hobbes, Rousseau, Marx, etc. y de algunos contemporneos a los que presto especial atencin como H. Arendt y J. Patoka va emergiendo el rostro de nuestras ideologas polticas actuales y de las estructuras y sistemas en que se concretan.Honestamente, creo que el beneficio que puede aportar esta obra es la cantidad y la concrecin de los ejemplos que abundan en los textos clsicos de la disciplina pero sin olvidar la relevancia de algunos documentos literarios y cinematogrficos con que podemos contar en el s. XXI.

El suicidio de las madres es una profunda y perturbadora novela que explora la desesperación y la lucha interna de un hombre al borde de la autodestrucción. La historia sigue a Juan, un hombre desgarrado por el dolor y marcado por las cicatrices de un pasado atormentado. Despues de años de maltrato, traicion y abandono, Juan llega a la conclusion de que la unica forma de escapar de su sufrimiento es a traves de la muerte. Cansado de vivir una vida llena de injusticias, decide saltar desde la ventana de su septimo piso, pensando que el impacto de la caida pondra fin a su dolor.Sin embargo, mientras se encuentra en el borde de la ventana, una revelacion lo detiene: recuerda las enseñanzas de un profesor de filosofia sobre la verdadera felicidad, aquella que solo llega con la ausencia total de dolor. Para Juan, la unica manera de encontrar esa paz es a traves de la muerte, pero, antes de hacer el salto final, algo cambia en su mente. Piensa que, si el ha sufrido tanto, hay otros que lo han hecho mas, y estos otros son los responsables de su dolor. Por eso, antes de acabar con su vida, decide hacer algo mas: liberarlos de su tormento, convencido de que, al hacerlo, les regalara la felicidad que el nunca pudo encontrar.Asi, con la excusa de hacer felices a los que mas le han lastimado, Juan decide llevar a cabo un oscuro plan: matar a tres personas que, segun el, viven atrapadas en un sufrimiento tan grande como el suyo. La primera es Amanda Rosario, su amante, que lo traiciono y lo contagio de una enfermedad devastadora; la segunda es su padre, cuya ausencia fue una condena silenciosa; y la tercera es su propia madre, la mujer que lo maltrato durante su infancia y cuya crueldad lo marco para siempre.A traves de este acto final de liberacion, Juan cree que alcanzara la felicidad y el estado de paz absoluta que tanto ansia. Pero, mientras se adentra en este camino, se enfrenta a la ambiguedad moral de sus decisiones y a las preguntas sobre la naturaleza del sufrimiento y la felicidad. El suicidio de las madres es una reflexion cruda sobre el sufrimiento, la culpa y la desesperacion. A medida que se acerca a la muerte, Juan se enfrenta a la paradoja de intentar liberar a otros cuando no sabe como liberarse a si mismo.

Obedience is not demanded.It is measured.When Mara enters the First Chamber, she is not asked to submitshe is observed. Through ritual, stillness, and controlled breath, her body is tested long before her will is addressed. Silence becomes instruction. Breath becomes currency. Every hesitation is recorded.In The First Chamber, Cassian Ward introduces the Obedience Trials: a structured system of power where submission is not taken, but revealed through endurance, self-recognition, and choice. Masks conceal identity, mirrors expose truth, and the most dangerous command is the one that offers no guidance at all.This is slow, psychologically precise erotic fiction focused on ritualized consent, internalized control, and the moment where obedience shifts from reaction to intention.For readers of psychological BDSM, ritual-driven power exchange, and erotic fiction where restraint carries more weight than force.

Seleço de versos nascidos entre 1998 e 2022, soletrados principalmente em noites cujas imperfeiçes, em meio a escurido, conseguiram se camuflar com duvidosa eficiencia e nas quais as rimas se conheceram aos tropeços, impunes e desavergonhadas. E fato que algumas tardes intrometidas colaboraram; guardanapos rascunhados em mesinhas de bar com o velho papo de sempre: tempo, saudade, paixo, amor, todos esses elementos com os quais os versos costumam sonhar. E aos quais nos, pobres criaturas sentimentais, nos submetemos com indevida, mas necessaria, intensidade como se no houvesse amanh.
