Paperback. Condition: Good. Hace más de 500 años, en unas circunstancias totalmente diferentes, Maquiavelo redactó EL Príncipe para describir la conducta que debía tener la autoridad con el objeto de sujetar el poder firmemente. Este libro va dirigido a los presidentes y, muy especialmente, a quienes deben elegirlo. Está concebido para una época, la nuestra, en la que prevalece la democracia liberal y la que convencer es mucho más importante que vencer. El presidente tiene tres partes, la primera parte (Presidentes) es una reflexión sobre las características que debe tener esa persona que tiene la responsabilidad de dirigir los destinos del país y una descripción de cómo son y cómo funcionan los Estados más prósperos y felices del planeta. La segunda parte (Cómo se llega a la presidencia) es una incursión en la técnica electoral y la tercera parte, (Cómo se es un buen presidente) ofrece consejos, sugerencias y observaciones. Desde cómo y por qué elegir a los miembros del gabinete, hasta lecciones elementales de economía política. También incluye una advertencia contra los enemigos permanentes del buen gobierno: la corrupción y las supersticiones marxistas y populistas * Carlos Alberto Montaner ha escrito 30 libros y miles de artículos. Es analista político de CNN en español.* La revista Foreign Policy lo ha calificado como uno de los 50 comunicadores más influyentes de la lengua española. * Un libro dirigido a los interesados en la política y la situación actual. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION More than 500 years ago, in totally different circumstances, Machiavelli wrote The Prince to describe the ways that authority figures should behave with the objective of firmly grasping power. This book is directed to presidents, and especially to those who must elect them. It is conceived of for a time--ours--in which liberal democracy prevails and in which it is much more important to convince than to defeat. The President has three parts: the first part ("Presidents") is a reflection about the characteristics that the person responsible for directing the country's destiny should have, and a description of what the most prosperous, happiest states on the planet are like and how they work. The second part ("How one gets to the presidency") is an investigation into the electoral process, and the third part ("What a good president is like") offers advice, suggestions, and observations, from how and why to choose cabinet members to basic political economy lessons. It also includes a warning about the enemies of good government: corruption, and Marxist and populist superstitions. * Carlos Alberto Montaner has written 30 books and thousands of articles, and is a CNN en español analyst. * Foreign Policy magazine has rated him one of the 50 most influential communicators in Spanish. * A book directed at those interested in politics and the current situation.…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. El amor, la traición y la muerte en la Guerra Fría Es el año 1947, y Rafael Mallo, escritor trotskista formado en Moscú, está preso en una cárcel franquista, en la agónica espera de que lo fusilen. Lleva siete años encerrado. Sorprendentemente, lo ponen en libertad y se reencuentra con una antigua amante, Sarah Vandor, con quien vivió una relación tormentosa. Es el comienzo de la Guerra Fría. La URSS y Estados Unidos se enfrentan secretamente en el terreno de las ideas, pero eso no excluye que, literalmente, rueden algunas cabezas. Tiempo de canallas es un thriller político, es el recuento de una época, y es, además, una historia de amores y traiciones con un inesperado final. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The year is 1947. Rafael Mallo, prisoner in a Francoist penitentiary, is waiting in agony for his execution. A Trotsykist writer educated in Moscow, he has been locked up for seven years. Surprisingly, though, he is freed, and he is soon reunited with a former lover, Sarah Vandor. They had--and now resume--a stormy relationship. It's the beginning of the Cold War. The USSR and the United States are secretly opposed in the land of ideas, but that doesn't mean that heads won't literally roll. Who is behind these crimes? It's difficult to know. Time of Scoundrels tells it all. It's a political.…
