Si bien la obra de ficción de Denis Johnson, con algunas excepciones, se ha publicado en nuestro idioma, sus textos de no ficción, escritos para prestigiosas revistas como Esquire, The Paris Review, The New Yorker o Harper's Magazine, aún no habían sido traducidos. Viajes a los confines del mundo, publicado originalmente en 2001 bajo el título de "Seek", reúne buena parte de los ensayos y reportajes que Johnson publicó en vida, y algunos están entre lo mejor de su obra. Destaca su cobertura de la guerra civil de Liberia, que despliega en "Guerra civil en el infierno" y "El Batallón de los Niños", que abren y cierran este volumen: un desgarrador retrato de un país que se desintegra en un páramo de muerte y hambre, y que casi le cuesta la vida y la cordura al propio autor. Los distintos reportajes de este libro basculan entre la disquisición política, el diario de viaje y la autoexploración en situaciones límite. Viajes extremos a Alaska —adonde el autor viaja con su mujer en busca de oro—; una reunión de moteros cristianos y telepredicadores; el retrato del Encuentro Arcoíris, donde, durante una semana, miles de hippies de toda Norteamérica se reúnen para...

La corrupción constituye un fenómeno insidioso, amplio, variado y global que comprende actividades tanto públicas como privadas. No se trata únicamente del tosco saqueo del patrimonio del Estado. La corruptela comprende el ofrecimiento y la recepción de sobornos; la malversación y mala asignación de fondos y gastos públicos; los escándalos financieros y políticos; el fraude electoral, el tráfico de influencias y otras trasgresiones administrativas como el financiamiento ilegal de partidos políticos en busca de favores indebidos. No obstante sus efectos recurrentes y cíclicos, hasta esta publicación ha sido poco lo que sabíamos acerca de las causas específicas de la corrupción en el país y sus costos económicos e institucionales.

Ronald D. Lankford has written the definitive history of this iconic and much-loved Christmas character. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer was the creation of Robert May, a staff copywriter who wrote the original poem as a Montgomery Ward Christmas giveaway in 1939. More than 2.4 million copies were printed and given away that holiday season. Thus the legend began. Johnny Marks adapted the poem into what would become the Gene Autry hit "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer," which instantly became - and still remains - one of the most popular Christmas songs of all time. The legend of Rudolph soared even higher with the Rankin/Bass stop-motion television special in 1964, which has gone on to inspire a cottage industry of toys and decorative items. In this festive and informed look at the most famous reindeer of all, Lankford discusses all of Rudolph's iterations, including comic books, sequels, advertising tie-ins, movies, and much more. Lankford has produced the first complete history of Rudolph that both celebrates and explains the undying popularity of Rudolph and his friends. The result is both a glowing tribute and a rigorously researched biography that will appeal to fans and lovers...

Fans of the greatest reindeer of all will have a double helping of Christmas fun with this collection, which includes the title story plus "Rudolph Shines Again." Near and dear to so many hearts, this is the story, the original story, of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, written by Robert L. May in 1939. Rudolph, loveable and generous, humble and good, embodies the spirit of Christmas, and reminds us of the magical possibilities that exist within us all. In the companion story, "Rudolph Shines Again," Rudolph loses his light and is certain he is of no use to Santa now; he decides to go far away, where no one knows how bright his nose used to be. But on his journey, something magical happens. As enchanting as the original story, Robert L. May's uplifting sequel to his classic tale Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is a joyous celebration of the spirit of Christmas. Also included in the audio is a selection of holiday songs for kids to help you ring in the season: "Jingle Bells," "Up on the Housetop," "Deck the Halls," "Over the River and through the Woods," "We Wish You a Merry Christmas," and "O, Christmas Tree."

El desarrollo es un proceso inevitable y en cada año de la vida se gana y se pierde algo; algunos fenómenos comienzan y otros se interrumpen; hay cambios evolutivos previsibles y otros que son descubiertos por los científicos. Esta séptima edición de la obra ya consagrada es un texto extraordinario para el estudio de este fascinante recorrido.

When Santa and Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer find a letter from two children who were forgotten the previous Christmas, Rudolph comes to their rescue and saves the day.

Devastated when his nose loses its shine, Rudolph spends all his time crying and feeling sorry for himself until he becomes involved in the search for two baby rabbits.

Although the other reindeer laugh at him because of his bright red nose, Rudolph proves his worth when he is chosen to lead Santa Claus's sleigh on a foggy night.
