Paperback. Condition: Good. El octogenario animador repasa lo que ha aprendido en su vasta carrera televisiva y los desafíos que ha enfrentado tanto en su oficio de animador como en su vida. En estas emocionantes memorias, Mario Kreutzberger nos cuenta la historia de su extraordinaria carrera como uno de los hombres más influyentes de la televisión en Chile, en Latinoamérica y en la comunidad hispana de Estados Unidos, donde entrevistó a los más humildes y los más poderosos, siempre con la intención de abrir fronteras y horizontes, y con especial interés por las inquietudes y vivencias de los inmigrantes de cualquier lugar del mundo. Hijo de judíos que sobrevivieron al nazismo, Mario pasó de ser un joven graduado de técnico modelista --siguiendo los pasos del padre-- al orgulloso conductor y creador del programa de más larga duración de la historia de la televisión, siendo conocido como Don Francisco. Sus encuentros con personajes insólitos, sus conversaciones con George Bush, Barack Obama o Michelle Bachelet, entre otros líderes, su visita a Sudáfrica para conocer el legado de Mandela, su viaje a China en 1976 --con el primer equipo en español que entró con cámaras al país asiático--, así como otras historias y experiencias profundas que ha vivido, van dando forma a estas páginas, en las que el autor se permite reflexionar sobre su oficio, su trayectoria y su vida con total honestidad. Mención aparte merece la hazaña de Teletón, que asegura la rehabilitación del 93 por ciento de los niños y jóvenes en situación de discapacidad en Chile y que aquí relata con la misma fuerza que lo llevó a sacarla adelante junto a todo el país. Una vida arrojada, un libro valiente.

Paperback. Condition: Fair. Following the traditions of Gabriel García Marquez, John Gardner and J.R.R. Tolkien, Wicked is a richly woven tale that takes us to the other, darker side of the rainbow as novelist Gregory Maguire chronicles the Wicked Witch of the West's odyssey through the complex world of Oz -- where people call you wicked if you tell the truth. Years before Dorothy and her dog crash-land, another little girl makes her presence known in Oz. This girl, Elphaba, is born with emerald-green skin -- no easy burden in a land as mean and poor as Oz, where superstition and magic are not strong enough to explain or to overcome the natural disasters of flood and famine. But Elphaba is smart, and by the time she enters the university in Shiz, she becomes a member of a charmed circle of Oz' most promising young citizens. Elphaba's Oz is no utopia. The Wizard's secret police are everywhere. Animals -- those creatures with voices, souls and minds -- are threatened with exile. Young Elphaba, green and wild and misunderstood, is determined to protect the Animals -- even it means combating the mysterious Wizard, even if it means risking her single chance at romance. Even wiser in guilt and sorrow, she can find herself grateful when the world declares her a witch. And she can even make herself glad for that young girl from Kansas. In Wicked, Gregory Maguire has taken the largely unknown world of Oz and populated it with the power of his own imagination. Fast-paced, fantastically real and supremely entertaining, this is a novel of vision and re-vision. Oz never will be the same again.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. International Latino Book Awards 2025: Libro más inspiracional no ficción en español. MEDALLA DE ORO * Mejor biografía. MEDALLA DE BRONCE «¡Bien escrito! No pude dejar de leer. Temas importantes: Parkinson y eutanasia. Recomendaré este libro.» --Comentario de los jueces del ILBA Me lo dijo sin preámbulos, pero no me tomó por sorpresa. A principios de 2022, mi padre, Carlos Alberto Montaner, me encomendó la misión más difícil y dolorosa de mi vida: «Te pido que me ayudes a morir». Más de seis años después de ser diagnosticado en Estados Unidos con Parkinson, sus capacidades físicas habían mermado considerablemente y la enfermedad comenzaba a hacer mella en sus facultades cognitivas. Carlos Alberto Montaner, que había dedicado su vida al desempeño intelectual, el activismo político y a expresar sus opiniones en una columna sindicada en América Latina, España y Estados Unidos, decidía el final de su vida antes de que la enfermedad le arrebatara del todo su autonomía física e intelectual. Él deseaba regresar a Madrid, donde había vivido más de cuarenta años y, como ciudadano español, acogerse a la Ley de Eutanasia recientemente aprobada en el Congreso. Deséenme un buen viaje es una crónica íntima de su trayectoria sin retorno, y la de su hija junto a él, con el trasfondo de la eutanasia. Se trata de un camino lleno de obstáculos e incertidumbre; pero también es un recorrido extraordinario por las emociones, la comunión íntima y la perseverancia frente a la adversidad. Cuenta un viaje del desarraigo -las señas de identidad de una familia marcada por el exilio tras el triunfo de la revolución en Cuba- hacia el arraigo que significó para ellos retornar a España, su segunda patria. «Gina Montaner ha escrito un credo imprescindible para entender la vida y valorar la muerte. Valiente, sincero y conmovedor. No dejará a nadie indiferente por sus enseñanzas y su sabiduría» --Sonsoles Ónega ENGLISH DESCRIPTION International Latino Book Awards 2025: Most Inspirational Nonfiction Book. GOLD MEDAL * Best Biography. BRONZE MEDAL «Well written! I couldn't stop reading. Important topics: Parkinson and euthanasia. I will recommend this book.» --Insight from the ILBA judges He told me without preamble, but it didn't catch me by surprise. At the beginning of 2022, my father, Carlos Alberto Montaner, gave me the hardest and most painful mission of my life: "I'm asking you to help me die." Six years after being diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease, his physical and cognitive abilities had decreased considerably. Carlos Alberto Montaner, who had dedicated his life to intellectual pursuits, political activism, and to expressing his opinions through a syndicated column in newspapers throughout Latin America, Spain, and the United States, had decided to end his life before his illness took away the last of his autonomy. He hoped to return to Madrid, where he had lived for over forty years and, as a Spanish citizen, abide by the Law of Euthanasia recently approved by the Spanish Congress. Deséenme un buen viaje (Wish Me a Good Journey) is the intimate chronicle of a trip with no return. It is a journey of obstacles and uncertainties, but also an extraordinary retelling of vibrant emotions, intimate camaraderie, and perseverance in the face of adversity. This book tells a story of uprooting--the distinctive flag of a family that was exiled from Cuba after the triumph of the revolution--and of their return to Spain, their adopted homeland. «Gina Montaner has written an essential creed to understand life and value death. Brave, sincere and moving. She will not leave anyone indifferent to his teachings and his wisdom.» --Sonsoles Ónega.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. Mi querido Martín, la vida de un hombre es una suma; nada es vacuo, nada es vano, nada es accesorio. Cultiva dos cosas: la memoria y la voluntad.» Hernán Cortés toma la pluma nuevamente hacia el final de su vida. Esta vez no se dirige al emperador ni a un numeroso y anónimo lector, sino a su primogénito, Martín Cortés, hijo de la Malinche, para contarle su vida. Le habla de su infancia en Medellín, de sus días de estudiante en Salamanca y, por supuesto, de su llegada al Nuevo Mundo y de sus amores con doña Marina. Acompañamos a Martín en el descubrimiento de sus padres. Hallamos a una mujer dulce y determinada, arquitecta del México moderno. Encontramos a un conquistador victorioso que detesta la guerra y a un hombre poderoso que desconfía del poder, pues para él es sólo un medio para acceder a la libertad más plena. Cortés le confiesa a su hijo que ha sido muchos hombres, que tiene el alma vagabunda y que ama conquistar. Pero su conquista más grande no fue la de un territorio, sino la de la memoria. Gracias a su ingenio pudo salvar para la eternidad la crónica de su aventura por el Nuevo Mundo, y así dejó escrita, bajo el manto protector de un artificioso seudónimo, su Historia verdadera de la conquista de la Nueva España. Con esta novela, el historiador Christian Duverger completa la desmitificación de Hernán Cortés. Rigurosamente basados en los archivos y las crónicas del siglo XVI, los hechos de esta autobiografía ficcional reflejan a un literato, a un hombre del Renacimiento absolutamente cautivado por el mundo indígena y, sobre todo, convencido de que el mestizaje era la clave para forjar una realidad mejor. Memorias de Hernán nos recuerda que, en ocasiones, sólo la ficción puede desentrañar la historia verdadera. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION "My dear Martín, a man's life is a sum; nothing is vacuous, nothing is vain, nothing is accessory.  Cultivate two things: memory and will." Hernán Cortés picks up his pen yet again towards the end of his life. This time not addressing the emperor nor a vast anonymous reader, but his firstborn, Martín Cortés, Malinche's son, to tell him about his life. He recounts his childhood in Medellín, his schooldays in Salamanca, and of course his arrival at the New World and his affair with Doña Marina.   We accompany Martín's discovery of his parents. We find a sweet and determined woman, the architect of modern Mexico. We find a victorious conquistador who detests war, and a powerful man who distrusts power, mere means to access the most absolute freedom.   Cortés confesses to his son that he has been many men, has a wandering soul, and loves to conquer. And his greatest conquest was not of the land, but of remembrance. Through his wit, he managed to salvage for eternity the chronicles of his adventures in the New World, and so wrote, under the protecting cloak of an ingenious pseudonym, his own True History of the Conquest of New Spain.   With this novel, historian Christian Duverger ends Hernán Cortés' demystification. Strictly based on archival research and sixteenth-century chronicles, the facts found in this fictional autobiography reflect a man of letters, a Renaissance man absolutely enthralled by the indigenous world, and above all, convinced that miscegenation was the key to forge a better reality. Hernán's Memoirs reminds us that, on occasion, only fiction can unravel the actual history.…
