About this listen
Este volumen reúne los ensayos, La enfermedad y sus metáforas y El sida y sus metáforas, que siguen ejerciendo una influencia enorme en la reflexión médica y en las vidas de miles de pacientes y cuidadores.
Susan Sontag escribió La enfermedad y sus metáforas en 1978, mientras se trataba de un cáncer. En el libro quiso demostrar cómo los mitos acerca de algunas enfermedades, en especial del cáncer, añaden más dolor al sufrimiento de los pacientes y a menudo los cohíben en la búsqueda de tratamiento adecuado.
Casi una década después, con la irrupción de una nueva enfermedad estigmatizada y transida de incertidumbres y «fantasías punitivas», Sontag escribió El sida y sus metáforas, extendiendo los argumentos del libro anterior a la pandemia de sida.
Reseña:
«Un ensayo luminoso.»
Cristina Peri Rossi

Story
Veinticinco años después de Sobre la fotografía, Susan Sontag regresó al estudio de la representación visual de la guerra y la violencia. ¿Cómo nos afecta el espectáculo del sufrimiento ajeno? ¿Nos hemos acostumbrado a la crueldad? Para ello, la autora examina la serie de Goya Los desastres de la guerra, las fotografías de la guerra civil estadounidense y de los campos de concentración nazis, y las horribles imágenes contemporáneas de Bosnia, Sierra Leona, Ruanda, Israel y Palestina, así como de la ciudad de Nueva York el 11 de septiembre de 2001.

Story
En 1876, un grupo de polacos liderado por Maryna Zalezowska, la mayor actriz de Polonia, emigra a Estados Unidos y llega hasta California para fundar una «comuna utópica». La comuna termina por disolverse, Maryna se queda en el país, aprende inglés y ahora—con el nombre de Marina Zalenska—se forja una nueva carrera, incluso más triunfante, en los escenarios americanos, hasta convertirse en una diva comparable a Sara Bernhardt.

En Memoria de chica, Annie Ernaux se sumerge en el verano de 1958, el de su primera noche con un hombre, en la colonia de S, en el Orne. Una noche que le iba a le dejar una marca indeleble, que iba a perseguirla durante años. Hasta la valiente decisión de reconstruirla escribiéndola, ayudada por fotografías y cartas recuperadas, sumida en una búsqueda: la de sus antiguos amigos y amigas, la de Él, ese primer hombre, pero sobre todo la de sí misma, aquella Annie que tanto le cuesta entender a la Annie actual, en un vaivén implacable entre el ayer y el hoy.

Annie Ernaux se esfuerza aquí por reencontrar los diferentes rostros y la vida de su madre, muerta el 7 de abril de 1986, al término de una enfermedad que había destruido su memoria y su integridad intelectual y física. Ella, tan activa, tan abierta al mundo. Búsqueda de la existencia de una mujer, obrera, luego comerciante ansiosa por mantener su nuevo estatus y por aprender. Puesta al día, también, de la evolución y la ambivalencia de los sentimientos de una hija por su madre: amor, odio, ternura, culpabilidad, y, por último, apego visceral a la anciana disminuida.

Estamos perdiendo nuestra capacidad de no hacer nada. Nuestra existencia está completamente absorbida por la actividad y, por lo tanto, completamente explotada. Dado que solo percibimos la vida en términos de rendimiento, tendemos a entender la inactividad como un déficit, una negación o una mera ausencia de actividad cuando se trata, muy al contrario, de una interesante capacidad independiente.

Christmas is the single biggest annual event on the planet, a time for merry-making, over-indulgence, peace, goodwill, and the occasional family row. It’s as comfortable and familiar as a pair of old shoes and yet still glittery and exciting. But what do you really know about it? It’s stuffed full of traditions and rituals that most of us have been observing all our lives without having the slightest idea of where they come from.

The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

Dantrell’s name would soon be used to demolish all of Chicago’s high-rise public housing, displacing tens of thousands of low-income families.

Experience a bold take on this classic autobiography as it’s performed by Oscar-nominated Laurence Fishburne. In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.
