El Régimen de las Malvinas

This true story tells how twenty years after British troops died for democracy in the Falklands War, a British citizen would be forced to flee the Falklands to escape political corruption and death threats, to seek democracy and freedom of speech in Argentina. When a British biologist dared to connect the starvation of 5 million penguins to commercial fishing that was making the Falklands elite rich, a deadly game of cat and mouse was unleashed. Bungled attempts to deport, imprison and kill Bingham, landed the Falkland Islands Government in the Supreme Court, which ruled that the Governor,...

Collected here are journal entries culled from 18 notebooks that Allen Ginsberg kept during the 1950s and early 1960s, when he and his fellow Beat poets led an insurrection that profoundly altered the American literary and cultural landscapes.

Las obras de dibujo, pintura y collage que este libro contiene, pertenecen a mi amigo Gonzalo Muñumel Díez. En ellas veréis una pequeña muestra de su obra; caleidoscopio de “sus” diversas formas de hacer y sentir en el arte del carboncillo, el grafito, la tinta, el óleo, la tijera y la esponja… Él, en su parca modestia, se define como un “menos viejo” pintor autodidacta. Más exacto sería definirlo como un ser de trayectoria excepcional. En defensa de este calificativo intentaré una corta semblanza de su etapa humana y artística. Su infancia es zancadilleada por una guerra...
