Un'infanzia movimentata, resa più lieve da una straordinaria passione per i libri trasmessa dalla madre; l'esperimento dei "ratas pelosas", in cui dei giovanissimi brasiliani fecero della narrativa un'arma di resistenza alla dittatura; i migranti scrittori e gli scrittori migranti: un autentico patrimonio di cui il nostro paese non si è nemmeno accorto. Julio Monteiro Martins, brasiliano, è scrittore, e poeta, nonché docente di scrittura creativa al Goddard College (Vermont), alla Oficina Literariá Afrânio Coutinho.

C'era una volta un'Argentina ricca e felice, quella che fu "Lamerica" per tanti italiani emigrati. Come oggi vadano le cose in quel paese, dopo gli anni di Peron, la dittatura militare e la presidenza di Menem, è davanti agli occhi di tutti. Laura Pariani è andata in Argentina non solo come scrittrice, ma come testimone capace di dar conto del mutamento, o meglio, della catastrofe annunciata. Incontrando argentini ed ex immigrati ricostruisce la storia di un paese che oggi pare senza memoria.

Juan Manuel Santos shares the lessons he learned about war and peace and how to build a successful negotiation process in the context of a nation which had all but resigned itself to war and the complexities of 21st-century international law and diplomacy.

Returning to his days as a reporter for El Espectador, Gabriel García Márquez chronicles, with consummate skill, the period in late 1990 when Colombian security forces mounted a nationwide manhunt for Pablo Escobar, the ruthless and elusive head of the Medellin cartel. Ten men and women were abducted by Escobar’s henchmen and used as bargaining chips against extradition to the United States. From the testimonies and diaries of the survivors, García Márquez reconstructs their bizarre ordeal with cinematic intensity, breathtaking language, and rigor.

In March of 2017, a team of FBI agents arrested Juan Granda, Samer Barrage, and Renato Rodriguez, or as they called themselves, "the three amigos". The trio - first identified publicly by the authors of this book - had built a $3.6 billion dollar business in metals trading, mostly illegal Peruvian gold. Their arrests and subsequent prosecution laid bare more than a corrupt finance firm, though. Instead, Dirty Gold lifts the veil on an illegal international business that is five times as lucrative as trafficking cocaine, and arguably more dangerous.

On February 27, 1763, thousands of slaves in the Dutch colony of Berbice - in present-day Guyana - launched a massive rebellion that came amazingly close to succeeding. Surrounded by jungle and savannah, the revolutionaries (many of them African-born) and Europeans struck and parried for an entire year. In the end, the Dutch prevailed because of one unique advantage - their ability to get soldiers and supplies from neighboring colonies and from Europe. Blood on the River is the explosive story of this little-known revolution, one that almost changed the face of the Americas.

Although he is unquestionably one of the most studied leaders of the 19th century, Simón Bolívar remains today as enigmatic as he was two centuries ago, when his vision and presence largely inspired the overthrow of the Spanish Empire in the New World.

Humans living in a dark, flooded world without sunlight - that’s what the gods of the Incas found upon their arrival. They terraformed waterlogged Earth to make it habitable again and built golden cities along the western half of South America connected by 25,000 miles of Inca road. Inca legends match the biblical Genesis but with incredible detail that tells a much fuller story. Creation did not involve making the sun and moon, and Earth out of nothing - it reworked what was already here.

On the evening of May 17, 1980, a day before the Peruvian electorate - the most representative in the nation’s history - was due to go to the polls for the first authentic presidential election since 1963, a curious thing happened.
