Una obra incomparable........2002-05-09

Sin duda es una de las mejores novelas que jamás se han escrito.
En ella se puede encontrar un relato sobre las guerras
napoleónicas y la participación de Rusia en ellas, pero también
un retrato de la vida de la alta sociedad rusa de la época. Estas
situaciones tan diversas están narradas con una gran viveza.
Aprovechando el trasfondo histórico de la novela, Tolstoi nos
proporciona también sus visiones sobre la Historia y
el papel que los hombres representan en ella. Estas impresiones

Book Description

This illuminating commentary on the Bhagavad Gita—one of the most famous Hindu scriptures—illustrates how certain conditioned patterns of human consciousness are at the root of pain, misery, conflict, and war. By arguing that all conflicts and problems are the result of the mind, this interpretation of Krishna's teachings exposes the roots of contemporary personal problems and explains how this inner war can be resolved within each individual. Delving beyond the personal into the collective realm, this spiritual guide further expands Krishna's psychological vision by showing how the wisdom found in the Bhagavad Gita can be used to achieve timeless solutions to global problems.

Este comentario brillante del Bhagavad-gita—una de las más famosas escrituras sagradas del hinduismo—ilustra maneras en que ciertas creencias habituales son las causas del dolor y la tristeza, el conflicto y la guerra. Proponiendo que todos los conflictos y problemas vienen de la mente, esta interpretación de las enseñanzas de Krishna muestra los orígenes de todos los problemas personales y explica como cada individuo puede resolver su propia guerra interior. Mirando más allá de lo personal hasta lo colectivo, esta guía espiritual amplía la visión psicológica de Krishna, mostrando como la sabiduría del Bhagavad-gita también puede alcanzar soluciones a problemas globales.

Product Description

In mid 2005, Mario Vargas Llosa and his daughter Morgana traveled to Israel and Palestine. Morganas lens captured, in amazing photographs, the Israeli exodus from 21 settlements along the Gaza Strip while Vargas Llosa interviewed several of the Jewish settlers. The result is a gripping chronicle in which the author reiterates his stance on Israel, his admiration of the economic and livings standards they have achieved despite internal factions and wars. A book inspired by principles of love, freedom and justice, and the firm belief that the best voice is that which refuses to give in to oppression and lies. Description in Spanish: Este libro es el resultado de un viaje a Israel y Palestina que Mario Vargas Llosa realizó a mediados de 2005. Su hija Morgana fue dos semanas antes para fotografiar la salida de los colonos de los 21 asentamientos israelíes de la franja de Gaza y para gestionar las entrevistas que le ayudaron a escribir estas crónicas. El autor reitera su postura a favor de la existencia de Israel y de su derecho a defenderse de los fanáticos que quisieran hacerlo desaparecer de la faz de la tierra. También expresa su admiración por muchos de sus logros, como haber alcanzado un notable desarrollo económico y un elevadísimo nivel de vida a la vez que libraba guerras y se veía amenazado dentro y fuera de sus fronteras, y preservar un sistema democrático que, en lo que concierne a los ciudadanos israelíes, funciona de manera impecable. Sus críticas al Gobierno israelí por la política que lleva a cabo en la cuestión palestina están inspiradas en los mismos principios de amor a la libertad y a la justicia que le han hecho defender a Israel contra quienes lo caricaturizaban como un mero peón del imperialismo en Oriente Medio. Sigue afirmando que la mejor tradición del pueblo judío es la de la resistencia a la opresión y a la mentira y, a su modesto entender, ella está mejor representada por aquellos inconformes que por quienes quisieran callarlos.

No esta mal para ser un politico sionista.......2007-04-13

Ben Ami es mucho mas honesto que otros sionistas relatando la historia del conflicto y admitiendo que la expulsion de los arabes era la intencion sionista, aunque no se puede librar totalmente de la tendencia partisana de ignorar o encubrir aquello que es inconveniente, como los crimenes y terrorismo Israelis, por ejemplo, o lo que paso de verdad en Camp David y Taba. Como Ben Ami mismo dice, el es un apasionado sionista, y su "enfoque no es moralistico, sino politico"--es decir, no quiere paz con los palestinos por que le importen mucho, sino por la prosperidad de Israel. Quizas es esto lo que le resta objetividad a este libro. La moralidad nunca se puede abandonar del todo, y con esa predisposicion, un enfoque "amoral" tiende inevitablemente a exaltar la moralidad del pais de uno a costa del del otro.
