Argentina Books

Este trabajo, parte de la tesis doctoral de la autora, se examinan las formas que adquirió el poder ejercido en la Argentina durante los años del gobierno militar.

Los campos de concentración son presentados aquí como un concepto político que toma su energía de un intento de reconstruir la figura de lo humano bajo el imperio del terror y la tortura.

Por medio de una aguda y lúcida reflexión, la autora entrelaza su experiencia personal y su vocación teório-crítica para pensar los límites de lo político, y escribe un texto fundamental para comprender aspectos de una época terrible que dejó huellas profundas en la sociedad argentina.

This brief volume succintly describes the background and current state of the Argentine labor movement, along with providing valuable analysis of the Argentine economic situation. Recommended for all serious investors in Argentina.

It must be said that this is the first book which treats the terrorist and subversive process in Latin America. Its main objective is to serve as an introduction to the two following volumes. Because of that it explains how from the USSR and Cuba terrorist were sent to make war into different Latin American countries.
The author has made an incredible research of information and every statement made by him is seriously backed by plenty of documents. This book is meant to show young and future generations how the real facts took place.
It covers from the firsts incursions of John Cook and other terrorists as Ernesto "Che" Guevara in Cuba and other Latin American Countries till Campora's government in Argentina. Throughout all those years the terrorist started to make ideological propaganda (financed first from the USSR and Cuba and later from kidnappings) and murder politicians and militaries as well as common people.
This book shows that the terrorists were backed by the USSR and Cuba and that the only thing that the argentine militaries did was to answer the aggression doing what they had swore: Defend their Country.

"Porque no creo en la Argentina"
por Alberto Halac

Libro en español y publicado durante la los fines de la epoca militar en 1983. Solo 1000 ejemplares fueron impresos.

Introduccion del autor:

"Este trabajo no tiene ninguna pretensión filosófica más profunda que la que pueda aspirar un hombre común, sin formación académica, con una experiencia quizás limitada, y una casi inexistente inclinación tanto para las virtudes heroicas, como para los vicios espectaculares, pero sí es el fruto de un elevado costo emocional y pecuniario afrontado personalmente en su totalidad, y con orgullo.

Es lícito y comprensible, preguntar que motivación me alentó en esta empresa solitaria. Ha sido, irónicamente, una emoción: la vergüenza.

Vergüenza por la mentira y la corrupción institucionalizadas; y por esa pulida y pedante ignorancia de los argentinos. Una ignorancia que los seduce piadosamente al autoengaño.

Es por todo eso que no creo en la Argentina. Sólo creo, en un último análisis, que las proposiciones expresadas a través de estas páginas, están condenadas al repudio basado en viejos prejuicios y una sobrevaluada autoestima."

I thought this was a well written informative book

Ramona reminded me of myself when I was a little girl. She does things that most kids only think of doing because they are afraid to get into trouble. I love the reality aspect that Beverly Cleary brings to the story. Not only does Ramona LA Chinche take me back in time, it allows future generations of kids to see that they aren't the only ones to think up some of the crazy stunts that Ramona pulls off. This story is a hilarious page turner from the very beginning! I'd recommend it to any school teacher and, of course, all students. What a great read!

The work of Dr. Carlos Waisman is outstanding. A unique analysis of the Argentine development. The book explains very well the interaction between internal and external factors that caused the Argentine reversal in development. A very good book to be read by Argentineans.

This is a beauteful book about the life and work of this very important Landscape Architect. I am pleased to have it in my Collection.

The Room With Closets by Latin American philosophy teacher A. Pablo Iannone is an anthology of thirteen short stories connected by common threads. With tones ranging from comedy to dark humor to the shadow of political oppression, the stories range from a woman confronting reminders of death on the first morning of her honeymoon, to a Spanish shepherd who abandons his old identity to sail for the New World, to three Argentines who brave a hellish ordeal to obtain a passport from their fascist government. An unforgettable portrait of human struggle, survival, and wry insight.

Bioy Casares moves effortlessly from reality to fantasy. This collection of short stories are often grotesque, sometimes surreal, but always entertaining. Particularly read "Margarita" and "The Travel Diary"
