      • Mary Abouchaar

        Every story describes a wish that Tyler makes, the steps he takes to obtain it, and the reason why he gladly grants it to a dear one. In "Tyler's Promised Gift" Tyler works hard to obey his mother's commands in anticipation of receiving his promised 'little red car". At his birthday party he offers the car to a younger, sad, and crying guest. In "Tyler's Baby Sister" Tyler tries to get his mother to focus her attention again on him instead of on his baby sister, Tia. Tyler finally realizes that helping his mother to give more care to Tia gave him the most satisfaction. In "Tyler's Acting Practice" Tyler spends hours perfecting his aim when using a slingshot. When he was finally ready to play the part of David in the school play "David and Goliath", he noticed that his friend Joel, who was new to the school this year, was being bullied and excluded from all games because he was missing the net whenever he tried to shoot a basketball. Heroically, Tyler offers the role of David to Joel when he learns that Joel excels at aiming pebbles with his slingshot. His plan to reverse the students' disrespect towards Joel succeeded when everyone in the school auditorium cheered Joel for his perfect aim at the helmet of Goliath. In "Tyler's Lunchbox Treat", Tyler could hardly wait for lunch break to bite into the krispy marshmallow treat his mother had baked for him.  When Tyler discovers that the sandwich of his lunch companion was missing, and that he couldn't share his peanut butter sandwich with him because his companion was allergic to peanuts, Tyler gives him his krispy marshmallow square. Tyler always feels like a winner at the end, and not at all a loser. Children and parents are happy to arrive at the ending of each story.

        Secretos de un ausente

        by LUIS CARRANZA TORRES

        El abogado más renombrado del país, dueño de uno de los estudios jurídicos más poderosos, fundado y dirigido durante décadas con mano de hierro, ha desaparecido sin más, del sanatorio donde era atendido por una dolencia cardíaca. Pide que no lo busquen, pero deja por detrás muchas cuestiones pendientes. Desaparece pero no se va de las vidas de sus allegados. Ha dejado sustitutos que actúen por él. Cecilia y Agustina, medias hermanas y sobrinas del ausente, de la noche a la mañana deberán lidiar con un estudio pródigo en cuestiones que desconocían, pese a trabajar allí durante años,  y que las ponen en riesgo. Descubrirán, entonces, que el mundo perfecto en el que han vivido no lo es tanto y que, tras las apariencias, muchos son muy diferentes de lo que pretenden mostrar. Sobre todo, en aquellos ámbitos en los que el poder, el dinero y el derecho se dan la mano. Surgen extraños adversarios que en parte se muestran y en parte permanecen en las sombras, que conocen más que suficiente de todo y de todos, como para moverse entre ellos y saber descargar sus extraños golpes. En un punto medio entre la intimidad psicologista y la ironía con rasgos costumbristas, desde sus primeras páginas el autor nos sitúa en un complejo universo de personajes y hechos de las más variadas especies. Todos, lanzados en pos de los secretos de quien ya no está, los que deberán descubrir para ponerse a salvo.

The arrival of Quirós brings out her lucid, hyperactive side and sets her up for a wildly unhinged fall.

        Negociación. ¿Cooperar o competir?

        Segunda edición actualizada.

        by Darío Rodríguez Mansilla, María Pilar Opazo, Cristián Saieh Mena

        Todos debemos aprender a negociar, no hay escapatoria. Nuestra vida es una negociación permanente. En toda comunicación, desde una conversación entre amigos, pasando por la compra de un auto o la venta de una empresa, hasta la conducción de un Estado, se producen conflictos y se toman decisiones que es necesario negociar. Pero las personas muchas veces administran el conflicto y la toma de decisiones que este conlleva en forma deficiente y, adicionalmente, el inadecuado manejo de la comunicación termina en resultados con pérdida de valor, tiempo, esfuerzo y, lo que es peor, daño a las relaciones. A diferencia de otros títulos, Negociación, ¿cooperar o competir? aporta una metodología novedosa y práctica para abordar una negociación, basada en la teoría de los sistemas sociales y la comunicación, la que va más allá del conocido ganar-ganar. En esta segunda edición actualizada se han introducido complementos y perfeccionamientos a la metodología que se propone. En concreto, especial importancia tiene el capítulo de preparación estratégica de las negociaciones, clave en una cultura dada a la improvisación como la latinoamericana. También se ha abordado en extenso la confianza, tan golpeada hoy en muchos países, que es la base de una negociación exitosa. Con ejemplos prácticos y un estilo amistoso y directo, Negociación, ¿cooperar o competir? nos enseña todo sobre el desafiante proceso de una negociación, desde su planificación, seguido por las opciones de valor, la legitimidad, el cómo y dónde trazar la línea ética, hasta la manera de generar poder, cerrar una negociación y formalizar un acuerdo que refleje transacciones exitosas. "Los conflictos son mucho más frecuentes de lo que se cree y, afortunadamente, menos dañinos de lo que se teme. Sus causas, efectos, grados de intensidad y violencia son diversos, por lo cual existen variadas estrategias y prácticas para enfrentarlos. Los conflictos son inherentes a todo sistema social y pueden generar mayor valor en la mesa de negociación si son gestionados en forma adecuada. Entender los conflictos y su dinámica es fundamental para alcanzar negociaciones exitosas". Pag 15.

        Violencia de género y las respuestas de los sistemas penales

        by Encarna Bodelón (comp.)

        The problem of impunity and the devaluation of the rights of women who suffer sexist violence in intimate relationships is still present in European penal systems. The basic question is what differentiates sexist violence in the sphere of the couple from other types of violence. This type of violence in the sphere of the couple has nothing to do with what is known as injuries in the criminal sphere, but rather "gender violence, sexist violence, violence against women". The "problem" is not the women who report or do not report, but to what extent criminal treatment pursues the reported behaviors and protects women who suffer violence. In diverse contexts we will see common problems and remote solutions, but which coincide in not being yet ensuring the freedom of women. Our purpose is to advance in the construction of women's rights and denounce that the insufficient guarantee of the right to a life free of violence is an attack against all women, against all citizens and a burden of the patriarchal State.

        OLD TALES FOR GIRLS TODAY

        by JAVIER LEON

        What we now know as classic tales are oral stories that have been passed down from generation to generation. It is not known exactly when they appeared, what we do know is that in 1600 Charles Perrault gave them a literary form, tempering, in many cases, the harshness of the oral versions to adapt them to the times. 200 years later, Hans Christian Andersen and the Grimm brothers (among others), would do the same by creating new stories and transforming those of Perrault to their time. Now, 200 years later, they are revised and updated again. This time, without princes or princesses, without stepmothers or witches. This time, they are the heroines and they don't need anyone to save them.

        El síndrome de Bergerac

        by Pablo Gutiérrez

        I was an average girl like any other. I was going to class, I argued with my parents, I loved my friends unconditionally and, from time to time, I would fall in love with someone I shouldn't have, as happens to everyone else. There was nothing novelistic about me, nothing heroic that deserved a handful of pages, and that is why this story will not be about my parents or my colleagues or my lovers; it will not be about the routine of a high school student who is bored at school... This story will have only one main character and that character will be a nose. A famous, disproportionate nose. The nose of a hero born in Bergerac and named Cyrano.

        Universidad y conflictividad social

        Aportes desde la enseñanza del derecho

        by Leonardo Pitlevnik (comp.)

        Raises Michael Burawoy: "We have to rethink the meaning of the public university. The issue is not only who has access to the university, or how much it costs, but rather what responsibility does he assume before society, what dialogue he can build with the different public actors ". Among the crises pointed out by Boaventura de Sousa Santos, I understand that today we are facing the crisis of the university education model of and for the elites. It must also be a challenge to think about these conflicting crowded universities. The works that this work brings together allow us to think about the constitution of a university in which there is a community of faculties, professors, students and researchers where they collectively discuss what the university is and what its place in society is. The topics addressed, the prison question, the law in the towns of the city of Buenos Aires, training in criminal law for members of the administration of justice, machismo in legal education, critical pedagogical proposals, the teaching model of the Faculty of Law, give account of the potential expansion that these efforts had together. These texts challenge us, they demand a lot from us, they put us in trouble. And they also commit us to transform (us) into social reality, and thus also liberate (us), inevitably jointly, with rights and conflicts.

        by Roberto Santiago

        Ana Tramel: With A for attorney. With A for addicted to alcohol, pills and sex. And with A for anaesthetized (to emotions, adjectives, and sycophants). In this story absolutely everything revolves around her, the protagonist, narrator and dynamo of the plot. In her forties, she’s about to experience a journey to the dark side of the gambling world, and to come up against an international corporation that deals in thousands of millions and has hundreds of lawyers on their payroll. Said with the utmost humility: from this moment on, we are all AnaTramel. In ANA nothing is what it seems. Not one of the characters is exactly a saint. And as Patricia Highsmith said of one of her stories ‘they are going to see a woman do what no male protagonist in literature of the past forty years would dare: behave with compassion, heroism and expose her body and soul to humiliation’.

        El indio ciclope (The Indian cyclops)

        by Guillermo Roz

        Not so much an illustrated novel as a technicolour delirium. Martin Scorsese meets Jack Kerouac under LSD. Enter, read and discover. The grotesque and fearsome Diotisalvi brothers control all the illegal business in New York. One day, completely by surprise, multi-millionaire Camel Horovitz exiles them and imposes a new reign of terror. Old Camel will only allow the Diotisalvi to return to New York on one impossible condition: they must find a way to rid him of the double hump that has earned him his nickname. The Diotisalvis embark upon a crazy adventure in search of a solution, a journey that will take them to Ushuaia, at the very ends of the earth. There, they will encounter Carlos Gardel’s albino twin, Charles Darwin’s lost son, a Madrileñan bullfighter and his bulls, a woman who is crossing Patagonia on foot and gradually becomes black, a dinosaur, a vast ship, a forgotten jazz singer, the Japanese creator of Godzilla, an Indian woman who speaks 364 languages... And a Cyclops, that mysterious legend, a phenomenon capable of performing a thousand and one miracles. “The words that could have come from the writer, are providedhere by the illustrator. One might think that going through life withonly one eye would impede a person’s vision but in the case ofthis Patagonian native it is an advantage, because it enables himto do something that the rest of us – mafia hitmen, albino singers,dinosaur hunters or black servants – cannot: to see the comic sideof tragic situations. We invite the readers of this book to follow suit.To laugh, because life is short and it usually ends badly. And that’sthat.” - Oscar Grillo illustrator of the novel

        by Berna Gonzalez Habrour

        DASHIELL HAMMETT PRIZE 2020 (Best Spanish crime fiction) Can death be a form of art? A literary tribute to Goya’s black paintings. Commissioner Ruiz returns to Madrid to prepare her defence. She has been suspended from the force. The city’s local holiday is in full swing and the banks of the Manzanares River are thronged with people. But the appearance of a series of animal corpses following a fixed pattern is the first sign of a problem that will soon leave another lethal mark: what appears to be the ritual murder of a young art student at one of the dams that controls the flow of the river. And it won’t be the only one. The police investigate a range of hypotheses, but events begin to point towards a series of scenarios that will lead Commissioner Ruiz to the legacy of Goya, connecting a plot that is extremely disturbing – and difficult to unravel. Can death imitate art? Can madness become a form of creativity? Which is more important: life, transcendence or freedom? Without her team, her uniform, her pistol, María Ruiz is forced to confront a highly intelligent adversary, one who is driven by obsession and will stop at nothing to manipulate those around him. A chilling journey through a territory where mental disorder becomes obsession, to a point where death is considered a form of art.
