Marisol Casola: Besada por el éxito es un libro que resume los aspectos más resaltantes de la vida de esta empresaria de origen dominicano que emigró a los Estados Unidos en búsqueda del sueño americano… y lo encontró. Más allá del amor incondicional de su familia y el afecto de amistades verdaderas, herramientas que le permitieron construir el camino hacia su objetivo, esta historia demuestra que la vida nos reta a tomar decisiones para crecer o detenernos y que podemos trascender a las circunstancias más adversas cuando nos reafirmamos en la bondad y en la humildad.
The mythology of any people is interesting because it reflects their individual nature and developing life; that of the Greeks is more interesting to us than any other, firstly because it expresses the nature of a people gifted with a peculiarly fine and artistic soul; secondly, because our own thought and art are, in great part, a heritage from the civilization of Greece. Much of this heritage comes to us quite directly from the Greek writers and artists whose works have been preserved. This book is a unique guide into the world of Greek gods and heroes. In a simple yet very interesting way, «Greek and Roman Mythology» brings the fascinating stories of the classical mythology which shaped the thought and artistic expression of the entire Western civilization. Contents: The Gods The World of the Myths The Gods of Olympus: Zeus Hera, Athena, Hephæstus Apollo and Artemis Hermes and Hestia Ares and Aphrodite The Lesser Deities of Olympus The Gods of the Sea The Gods of the Earth The World of the Dead The Heroes Stories of Argos Heracles (Hercules) Stories of Crete, Sparta, Corinth, and Aetolia Stories of Attica Stories of Thebes The Argonautic Expedition The Trojan War The Wanderings of Odysseus The Tragedy of Agamemnon The Legendary Origin of Rome

Descubre qué son los NFT, de qué manera incentivan el uso de las criptomonedas y cómo continuará el ritmo acelerado de la digitalización económica gracias a las blockchains.
A sus cuarenta y muchos años, Katja es una escritora en crisis y una madre sin nido que atender. Como mujer, por cortesía de la sociedad, empieza a volverse invisible, momento ideal para hacer cosas terribles o maravillosas. Y así, en 2015, Katja cambia la pluma por la bata blanca y empieza a trabajar como pedicura en un salón de estética del barrio berlinés de Marzahn, una de las zonas residenciales prefabricadas más grandes de la antigua RDA. Allí viven el señor Paulke —toda una vida arrastrando frigoríficos y pianos—, la dulce señora Guse, que ya tiene escogida la música para sus funerales o Fritz, los pies más bonitos de toda la consulta.Un libro bello e importante, como los cerezos en flor de la pradera frente al salón en primavera; como la incombustible señora Blumeier rodando risueña entre ellos con su elegante modelo eléctrico; o como una resplandeciente manicura de fantasía.

The Prince is the most controversial book about winning power – and holding on to it – ever written. Machiavelli's tough-minded, pragmatic argument that sometimes it is necessary to abandon ethics to succeed made his name notorious. Yet his book has been read by strategists, politicians and business people ever since as the ultimate guide to realpolitik.
How can a leader be strong and decisive, yet still inspire loyalty in his followers? How do you keep your enemies in check? Is it better to be feared than loved? When is it necessary to break the rules? This shrewd handbook on how power really works answers all these questions by examining regimes and their rulers around the world and throughout history, from Roman emperors to renaissance Popes, from the savagely cruel Hannibal to the utterly devious Cesare di Borgia.
The Homeric epics were the greatest influence on ancient Greek culture and education; to Plato, Homer was simply the one who «has taught Greece» The Iliad and the Odyssey are the foundational works of ancient Greek literature. The Iliad is set during the Trojan War, the ten-year siege of the city of Troy by a coalition of Greek kingdoms. It focuses on a quarrel between King Agamemnon and the warrior Achilles lasting a few weeks during the last year of the war. The Odyssey focuses on the ten-year journey home of Odysseus, king of Ithaca, after the fall of Troy. From antiquity until the present day, the influence of Homeric epic on Western civilization has been great, inspiring many of its most famous works of literature, music, art and film. The Homeric Hymns is a collection of thirty-three ancient Greek hymns celebrating individual gods. The hymns employ the same epic meter—dactylic hexameter—as the Iliad and Odyssey, use many similar formulas and are couched in the same dialect.
A History of Ancient Greek Literature is an exceptional and comprehensive textbook of Europe's oldest civilization. The book covers the ancient Greek literature from the earliest texts until the time of the Byzantine Empire. It begins with the earliest surviving works of ancient Greek literature, the two epic poems the Iliad and the Odyssey, set in an idealized archaic past today identified as having some relation to the Mycenaean era. Homer's epics as well as the Homeric Hymns and the two poems of Hesiod, Theogony and Works and Days, comprised the major foundations of the Greek literary tradition that would continue into the Classical, Hellenistic, and Roman periods. All above mentioned periods are presented in this book with a special emphasise on every particularly literary genre of ancient Greek literature – epic poetry, lyric poetry, drama, historiography and philosophy. Contents Homer Lesser Homeric Poems; Hesiod; Orpheus The Descendants of Homer, Hesiod, and Orpheus The Song The Beginnings of Prose Herodotus Philosophic and Political Literature to the Death of Socrates Thucydides The Drama Aeschylus Sophocles Euripides Comedy Plato Xenophon The 'Orators' Demosthenes and His Contemporaries The Later Literature, Alexandrian and Roman
