Brand: Canongate
SKU: 1065950

In 1983 Virginia Vallejo was, at thirty three, Colombia's number one television star. A sophisticated socialite, the multilingual professional beauty had been courted by the country's traditional billionaires when she met and fell in love with a man named Pablo Escobar. The ambitious politician of humble origins -also thirty-three - introduced the elegant anchor-woman to a new world of unbelievable wealth in which never-ending floods of money poured into his charitable works and the campaign of the Presidential candidate of his choice, at a time when both Forbes and Fortune listed him as the seventh richest man in the world.

This book describes the birth of the cocaine industry and the evolution of one of the most powerful criminal minds of all times, Escobar's legendary capacity for corruption and terror, and the links between his trade and the Caribbean dictators, the Colombian Governments of the past quarter of the century, and the U.S. Secret Service. In the early stages of what later became a multi-faceted and stormy romantic relationship, the television journalist who inspired the drug baron's passion also became his witness of choice for his capacity to subdue presidents and dictators, the extreme right and the extreme left, and everyone who crossed his path in what he considered a fight for a nationalistic cause.

The love story of five years between the screen diva and 'the Colombian Robin Hood? is one of glamour and joy, but also one of enduring suffering and shame. It goes from her luxurious suites at the most elegant hotels in the world, New York and Beverly Hills, Venice and Z?rich, Mexico and Rio, the Hamptons mansions and the Park Avenue penthouses, to Escobar's ranch, a 6,200 acre spread, a tiny island in the Colombian Caribbean and the Berlin Wall in 1989.

After her relationship with Escobar ended in 1987 -and especially after his death in 1993- Virginia Vallejo became a social pariah: she was blacklisted, threatened, scorned and humiliated in every possible way by the media and allies of presidential families supported by Escobar and his rivals, the Rodr?guez-Orejuela brothers. Journalists on the payroll of both drug cartels were used by them to publicly warn her that her face would be cut with razors and she would be tortured to death if she ever opened her mouth.

Her twenty years of silence came to an end on July 18th 2006, when she fled Colombia for the USA on a chartered jet of the Drug Enforcement Agency after accusing Escobar's candidate -then on trial- of being the instigator of the death of Luis Carlos Gal?n, the honest political leader who would have become Colombia's President in 1990. The criminal case -which was supposed to take another two months- was closed the day before she could testify. In protest, the Colombian Ambassador to Washington resigned his post and a new Foreign Affairs Minister linked to the paramilitaries was appointed.

Virginia Vallejo's departure made front-page news on 42 newspapers worldwide and her only radio interview to The Voice of America was repeatedly aired in 36 countries. When she realized that if she returned to Colombia on a jet specially chartered for her by the American Government she would disappear or be tortured by the Secret Service or the drug cartels, so she chose to stay on American soil with half a ton of luggage and two dollar-quarters in her wallet, her only capital at the time. The Rodr?guez trial never took place: on September 26th 2006 both brothers pleaded guilty, after accepting to hand over $2.1 billion in assets to the American and Colombian Governments.

The readers will reach their own conclusions after reading this unique story which, in the author's words, she lived first-hand with the wide-open eyes of a fascinated child, then with her deep love and admiration for Pablo Escobar's courage and his generosity to the poorest and, in the final stages of their relationship, with her utter impotence to stop his upcoming war against their country and the increasingly powerful Cali Cartel.

Con los pronósticos que lanzó a partir de la llegada a la presidencia de Javier Milei, los mismos que muchos analistas juzgaban errados, se ganó el mote de "Gurú la City", por haber acertado como nadie el recorrido del dólar en estos años. Con un estilo personal (que incluye ese sombrero que es marca registrada), el consultor económico se convirtió en una voz capaz de explicar qué es esa música nueva que está sonando en la siempre frágil economía argentina, y por qué es necesario cambiar el paso.

Libro Cambia La Musica

Margaux se presenta en el entierro de un amigo de la infancia, Thomas Helder, años después de abandonar a los suyos sin explicación. En la casa familiar de Thomas, en plena campiña occitana, resurgen con fuerza los recuerdos de su pasado en Ámsterdam y de ese rincón de Francia en el que crecieron, se amaron y, a veces, se mintieron. A medida que avanza la velada, Margaux se enfrenta a la evidencia de que para continuar debe cerrar las cuentas pendientes.

Libro Thomas Helder

Cazzu es una de las traperas más importantes de Latinoamérica. No es casual que la llamen La Jefa. No es casual que su perreo moleste a muchos, interpele a tantas, y no deje indiferente a nadie. Durante años, Cazzu se enfrentó a una pregunta: “¿Cómo se siente tener éxito en un género musical tan machista?”. Y como le ocurre a casi cualquier mujer virtuosa y con notoriedad, le pidieron que diera explicaciones. Pero ¿por qué se lo preguntaban más a ella que a los hombres? Y, sobre todo, ¿es realmente machista el reggaetón? Este libro nació como respuesta y como exploración a esa dualidad que anida en el género: letras que sexualizan a las mujeres, pero también mujeres que expresan su deseo, saben lo que quieren, cómo y cuándo. Las reggaetoneras, dice Cazzu, son lamentablemente una utopía: ejercen su derecho al sexo sin correr peligro y sin preocuparse por la condena social. En Perreo, una revolución, repasa su recorrido, una trayectoria marcada por la superación de innumerables desafíos y traiciones. Armada de un gran talento y una fuerza de trabajo incansable, desde muy joven construyó una carrera notable y atrevida que la catapultó a los grandes escenarios del mundo, consolidándose como una de las traperas más importantes de Latinoamérica. La definen la delicadeza y la potencia, la ternura y la rebeldía. No es casual que la llamen La Jefa. La voz de Cazzu es única, sí, pero es el grito contenido de muchas que no tienen voz.

«El reggaetón incomoda, despierta la cólera en los más conservadores, porque propone otra mujer, una perra desinhibida que controla su cuerpo, sus decisiones y su sexualidad, y que con su actitud ridiculiza cualquier opinión ofensiva».

“Debería haberme limitado a decir que mi madre es alguien difícil de explicar”, sostiene la protagonista de esta historia. Pero ¿quién es, en verdad, la protagonista de esta historia? ¿La narradora evanescente, que sigue las huellas de la “función madre”? ¿La madre que, como idea, permea su búsqueda? Fragmentario y veloz, este libro compone un mosaico tan luminoso como desgarrador, cuyo impacto continúa tras la lectura.

En la continuidad de su saga, Marcelo Larraquy vuel-ve con la reconstrucción novelada de una vida y un momento histórico que hoy se lee como una distopía estremecedora. A medida que se despliega la trama más violenta de la Argentina de los años 70, el personaje de Gordon se va despojando de todo resto de humanidad. El relato avanza como un rayo al ritmo de su transformación de delincuente en aniquilador y atraviesa la depuración interna del peronismo y el ataque a “zurdos y bolches” con el sello cruento de la Triple A. Hasta que una desaparición inesperada desencadena una guerra entre aliados. En su deriva enloquecida, Gordon se introduce en las fauces de la dictadura militar con la ferocidad que le confiere el dominio sobre un campo de concentración en pleno barrio de Floresta: el terror cotidiano en su propio territorio. Esta novela es un trepidante thriller político, cruzado de espías y conspiradores. A partir de una investigación rigurosa, con entrevistas y documentos inéditos, Larraquy recrea magistralmente una época y devela a un personaje insoslayable, uno de los más despiadados y secretos de la historia política argentina. La serie de Netflix, dirigida por Pablo Trapero y Pablo Fendrik y protagonizada por Rodrigo de la Serna, está basada en esta novela.

Libro Gordon El Aniquilador Marcelo Larraquy Planeta

"In these seventeen essays (and one short story) the 2011 Man Booker Prize winner examines British, French and American writers who have meant most to him, as well as the cross-currents and overlappings of their different cultures. From the deceptiveness of Penelope Fitzgerald to the directness of Hemingway, from Kipling's view of France to the French view of Kipling, from the many translations of Madame Bovary to the fabulations of Ford Madox Ford, from the National Treasure Status of George Orwell to the despair of Michel Houellebecq, Julian Barnes considers what fiction is, and what it can do. As he writes in his preface, 'Novels tell us the most truth about life: what it is, how we live it, what it might be for, how we enjoy and value it, and how we lose it.'

When his Letters from London came out in 1995, the Financial Times called him 'our best essayist'. This wise and deft collection confirms that judgment."

Sigmund Freud's audacious masterpiece, The Interpretation of Dreams, has never ceased to stimulate controversy since its publication in 1900. Freud is acknowledged as the founder of psychoanalysis, the key to unlocking the human mind, a task which has become essential to man's survival in the twentieth century, as science and technology have rushed ahead of our ability to cope with their consequences. Freud saw that man is at war with himself and often unable to tolerate too much reality. He propounded the theory that dreams are the contraband representations of the beast within man, smuggled into awareness during sleep. In Freudian interpretation, the analysis of dreams is the key to unlocking the secrets of the unconscious mind.

A new selection of post-impressionist painter Vincent Van Gough's letters, The Letters of Vincent van Gogh put a human face on one of the most haunting figures in modern Western culture. In this Penguin Classics edition, the letters are selected and edited by Ronald de Leeuw, and translated by Arnold Pomerans in Penguin Classics.

Few artists' letters are as self-revelatory as Vincent van Gogh's, and this selection, spanning his artistic career, sheds light on every facet of the life and work of this complex and tortured man. Engaging candidly and movingly with his religious struggles, his ill-fated search for love, his attacks of mental illness and his relation with his brother Theo, the letters contradict the popular myth of van Gogh as an anti-social madman and a martyr to art, showing instead a man of great emotional and spiritual depths. Above all, they stand as an intense personal narrative of artistic development and a unique account of the process of creation.

The letters are linked by explanatory biographical passages, revealing van Gogh's inner journey as well as the outer facts of his life. This edition also includes the drawings that originally illustrated the letters.

Vincent Willem van Gogh (1853-1890) was born in Holland. In 1885 he painted his first masterpiece, The Potato Eaters, a haunting scene of domestic poverty. A year later he began studying in Paris, where he met Gauguin, Toulouse-Lautrec and Seurat, who became very important influences on his work. In 1888 he left Paris for the Provencal landscape at Arles, the subject of many of his best works, including Sunflowers.
