UNO DE LOS TESTIMONIOSMÁS IMPACTANTES SOBRE AUSCHWITZY EL PRECIO DE SEGUIR CON VIDAEl infame campo de concentración de Auschwitz fue diseñado para borrar nombres, cuerpos y conciencias. Sin embargo, algunos prisioneros sobrevivieron porque el sistema los necesitaba. Este libro cuenta la historia de uno de ellos.El dentista de Auschwitz es el testimonio de Benjamin Jacobs, quien fue obligado a ejercer su profesion en el corazon mismo del exterminio nazi. Dia tras dia, entre barracas, selecciones y destruccion, su habilidad le permitio seguir con vida, pero tambien lo enfrento a una pregunta imposible de responder: ¿que significa sobrevivir cuando el precio por ello es presenciar el horror y la maldad?Con una prosa contenida y directa, este relato reconstruye la vida cotidiana en el campo de concentracion desde una perspectiva poco explorada, la de quienes fueron utilizados por el regimen nazi para sostener su maquinaria de muerte. Sin heroismo ni juicios simples, solo la complejidad moral de un hombre que resistio para contar lo que otros no pudieron.Mas alla del horror de Auschwitz, este es un libro sobre la memoria, la culpa y la necesidad de recordar. Un testimonio para comprender que, incluso cuando la vida continua, nada vuelve a ser igual.

¿Cómo se construye afectivamente una persona cuando no se conforma con lo establecido?¿Cómo negocia con un entorno que, al menor tropiezo, puede tornarse hostil y agresivo?Estas son algunas de las preguntas que responde la autobiografia de Terry Holiday, cuyo trabajo artistico esta estrechamente vinculado a cuestiones de afectos: un juego sutil de espejos y reflejos.Terry nace en la Ciudad de Mexico en los años 1950, en un periodo de fuerte conservadurismo obsesionado con la defensa de la moral y las buenas costumbres, tanto en la vida privada como publica. Homosexuales, travestis, trabajadoras sexuales y personas trans eran frecuentemente objeto de redadas y extorsiones por desobedecer la estricta norma (hetero)sexual, que exigia que los hombres fueran viriles y se casaran con mujeres angeles del hogar, sumisas, decentes y dedicadas a la familia. Terry sueña con otra vida.Sus primeras representaciones en dibujos y pinturas pronto revelan su talento como artista plastica.A finales de los años 60 y principios de los 70, en plena adolescencia, Terry emprende un camino al margen de las normas establecidas: sus pasos la conducen a la Zona Rosa, donde conoce artistas alternativos que impulsan su protagonismo en cine, teatroy cabaret. Participo en obras como La montaña sagrada y Lucrecia Borgia, dirigidas por Alejandro Jodorowsky y Hair deJoe Donovan.Una parte fundamental de su vida transcurre en los escenarios delcabaret, no solo en la Ciudad de Mexico, sino tambien en diversos puntos de la Republica mexicana. En este libro, Terry narra con humor y detalle las practicas artisticas y rituales tanto de los cabarets como de los antros mexicanos en los que trabajo desde los años 70 hasta la actualidad.Un vago temblor de estrella es una escritura a cuatro manos. El epilogo, a cargo del coautor Antoine Rodriguez, relata las sesiones de trabajo con Terry Holiday y propone una genealogia de las teorias sobre identidades trans, ademas de analizar aspectos de la formacion de Terry como artista transcultural.

Dealers ChoiceI feel its my duty to proclaim it from the rooftops: this is it, this is the play that will remind you, at the end of a year that has contained too few stand-out new-writing hits and far too many musicals, why we go to the theatre - and just how good it can get.TelegraphCloserPatrick Marbers searing follow-up to Dealers Choice establishes him as the leading playwright of his generation.Independent on SundayOne of the best plays of sexual politics in the language: it is right up there with Williamss Streetcar, Mamets Oleanna, Albees Virginia Woolf, Pinters Old Times and Hares Skylight.Sunday TimesHoward KatzAfter Dealers Choice (1995), his gripping study of self-destructive gamblers, and Closer (1997), a thrilling account of love, sex and betrayal, this third instalment of his trilogy set in contemporary London tackles the biggest themes of all - life, death, God and the human soul. Its great to see a contemporary dramatist wrestling with such material.TelegraphDon Juan in SohoOne of the foremost dramatic chroniclers of modern British life. Line by line, this is the best written of all Marbers plays. You want to hang around its phrases (how often does that happen in the theatre?): hardly a minute passes without a satirical swipe, a gutsy joke.ObserverThe Red LionMarber, in this riveting new piece, uses the world of non-league, semi-pro football to explore issues of trust and loyalty and the larger division between individual ambition and the collective ethic. If big issues emerge naturally from the action, it is because Marber is writing about a world he knows intimately. Everything feels right. Guardian

A revealing and controversial exposé of international white-collar crime.Alexander Lebedev continues his investigation of banksters (gangster-bankers) scams which he started in his autobiographical book, Hunt the Banker. Each chapter examines a different sophisticated fraudulent scheme whereby stolen billions are laundered in offshore tax havens and deposited in secret accounts with the major UK and US banks, invested in shares of blue-chip companies, and converted into mansions, yachts, private jets, works of art and luxury goods.The topics covered include the cheating of their customers by supposedly respectable financial institutions in Europe and America, their complicity in laundering illegal proceeds of corrupt officials from all over the world, the financial pyramid schemes of Bernie Madoff and other mega-fraudsters, and black holes in the charity universe.Lebedev investigates the phenomenon of the symbiosis of dirty money and the latest information technologies of the blockchain, which threatens the global financial system with a cryptocurrency apocalypse, and he describes the degradation of political elites inebriated by biased mainstream media and fake news stories.

**THE FIRST AND ONLY BIOGRAPHY OF DUTCH FORMULA ONE WUNDERKIND MAX VERSTAPPEN, CHARISMATIC WINNER OF THE 2021 FORMULA ONE TITLE** Few drivers have ever shaken up Formula 1 in quite the same way as Max Verstappen. Already the youngest competitor in F1 history, having made his breakthrough in 2015 aged just 17, his debut race for Red Bull at the 2016 Spanish Grand Prix saw him become the youngest driver ever to win a race, achieve a podium finish or even lead a lap. As the son of F1 legend Jos and elite-level kart driver Sophie Kumpen, Max was destined to be a racing driver. And since that headline-grabbing debut, he has continued to make an indelible impression on the sport, courting criticism and plaudits in equal measure. Sports journalist James Gray seeks to understand the outspoken nature and aggressive driving style that make Verstappen a must-watch before, during and after races, and why his Dutch fans, who turn up to cheer him on in their orange-clad droves, are quite so fanatical.

This book is an extended study, in the Post-Reformation period, of the impact of the Gaels in the west of Scotland and the north of Ireland on each others religious heritage. Beginning half a century before the plantation of Ulster, Missions to the Gaels illuminates the origins of the sectarian divisions in Northern Ireland. The research deals with both Protestants and Catholics, rather than treating only one denomination in isolation. The author explores the intriguing situation whereby Scottish Gaelic-speaking ministers laid the foundations of the embryonic Protestant Church in Ireland, while at the same time Irish-speaking priests were almost exclusively responsible for the reintroduction of Catholicism to the Highlands and Islands of Scotland. The range of this book extends beyond narrow ecclesiastical issues: it reveals the broader political and cultural forces that determined the Gaels choice of religious alignment and traces the effects of these over two centuries of turbulent change in Gaelic society.

This book contains 71 deeply annotated chess victories of Tigran Petrosian (World Champion from 1963 to 1969) against the leading players of his day, some of which are in print for the first time. The authors authoritative but accessible language makes it a good read for the amateur as well as a cast-iron network of interlocking variations to satisfy the professionals. Petrosian was underrated as world champion in his day (many of his achievements were drowned out by the furore surrounding Bobby Fischer) but he is now being critically reappraised Garry Kasparov paid fulsome tribute to him at a recent London lecture. This insightful book aims to restore him to his rightful position in the pantheon of chess greats.

A Scots Quair is revolutionary - innovative in its form, deft and humorous in its use of the Scots language, courageous in its characterisation and politics. Central to the trilogy is Chris Guthrie, one of the most remarkable female characters in modern literature. In Sunset song, Gibbons finest achievement, the reader follows Chris through her girlhood in a tight-knit Scottish farming community: the seasons, the weddings, the funerals, the grind of work, the gossip. As the Great War takes its toll, machines repalce the old way of life. Cloud Howe and Grey Granite take Chris from her rural homeland to life in an industrial Scotland and the desperate years of the Depression. The triology as a whole is a major achievment, a picture of society undergoing traumatic and far-reaching transformation. Always readable, never sentimental, A Scots Quair is one of the most important works of Scottish literature.
