Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Truth, in its purest form, is as elusive as it is dangerous-a specter that hides in the darkest corners of the mind and society. For Sebastian Calderon, a seasoned homicide detective well-versed in the most twisted cases, truth is an obsession and an eternal puzzle. His instincts, honed by years of confronting the worst of humanity, have turned him into a relentless hunter of answers. But in his line of work, he's learned that those answers are never simple, that the pieces which seem to fit perfectly often reveal cracks upon closer inspection, and that certainties fade just when you need to cling to them most.The city he has grown up in and come to know better than his own shadow is a two-faced monster. By day, it's a place where justice appears to reign, where laws are upheld, and where people go about their routines with the confidence that everything is under control. But Calderon knows that this light only illuminates the surface. Beneath the apparent calm, in the shadows that lurk between alleyways and behind closed office doors, lies flow like an underground river, tainting everything they touch. It is lies that fuel the true power in the city, lies that are used to manipulate, blackmail, and ultimately destroy. And Calderon has seen firsthand how these lies are far more toxic than any truth could ever be.What begins as just another case in his file-a murder of a high-ranking government official-quickly spirals into a deadly game. At first, it seemed like another violent death, one of many he has investigated. Yet something about the crime scene's details and the behavior of those involved unsettles him. The clues, which in an ordinary case would form a clear path to the culprit, dissolve before his eyes like sand slipping through his fingers. Witness statements contradict one another, records are incomplete or tampered with, and the people who should be aiding the investigation seem to be hiding far more than they reveal.As Calderon delves deeper, he realizes that the layers of lies not only cover the murder but extend like a maze to every corner of the system. The connections between politicians, corrupt businessmen, and organized crime factions are no coincidence; they form a carefully woven web designed to protect the powerful. Every door he opens leads to more questions, and each answer he gets pulls him further away from the clarity he seeks. Those at the center of this labyrinth have no intention of letting Sebastian uncover the truth, and they are willing to destroy him if necessary to protect their secrets.The labyrinth is not just physical; it is mental and emotional. The conspiracy seems to have so many layers that Calderon begins to question his own judgment. Who can he really trust? Is he following the right clues, or are they leading him to his own demise? Uncertainty starts to consume him, and as he struggles to keep his footing, the threats against him and those around him grow more evident and lethal.Navigating this maze will test not only Sebastian's analytical brilliance but also his emotional and physical endurance. In a game where masks fall but truth becomes more elusive with each revelation, his mission is no longer just to solve the crime. Now, he must save his own life. Because in this dark game of power, where lies become a prison, the pursuit of truth may be the ultimate sentence. Calderon is about to learn that sometimes, uncovering what lurks in the shadows can cost more than one is willing to pay.La red de mentiras is a tale of deception.The protagonist faces a web of lies.Trust is hard to find in this story.Secrets drive the plot forward.Characters manipulate each other for power.The truth is elusive and dangerous.Moral choices create tension throughout.</li Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The recent history of Venezuela is undoubtedly one of the most fascinating, complex, and tragic in Latin America. In less than two decades, the country transitioned from being one of the continent's most prosperous economies to a territory marked by hyperinflation, shortages of food and medicine, a deep humanitarian crisis, and a massive exodus of its population. It all began with a promise, a dream that captivated millions of Venezuelans: the Bolivarian dream.In 1998, a young retired military officer named Hugo Chavez Frias, with a speech against the traditional elites and the injustices of the system, rose to power after a decisive electoral victory. Chavez represented a radical change in contrast to the corruption and stagnation of the traditional parties that had governed the country for decades. His project of a Bolivarian Revolution, inspired by the ideals of the Liberator Simon Bolivar, promised social justice, wealth redistribution, and the creation of a new economic and political model that would break the country's dependence on oil and foreign influences.However, as Chavez consolidated his power, cracks in the Bolivarian project began to emerge. Constitutional reforms, the takeover of key institutions, and the use of oil as a tool to maintain loyalty both domestically and internationally started to generate increasing polarization in Venezuelan society. The initial years of wealth redistribution and social programs were replaced by a system that became increasingly authoritarian, dependent on oil revenues, and vulnerable to the drop in international oil prices.The Bolivarian dream, which had captured the imagination of millions within and outside Venezuela, mutated into a personalist power project plagued by corruption, inefficiency, and repression. After Chavez's death in 2013, his successor, Nicolas Maduro, inherited a divided country and a rapidly deteriorating economy. Maduro not only failed to stop the economic collapse, but deepened the political crisis, harshly repressing the opposition and triggering a humanitarian crisis of historic proportions.Throughout this book, the key events that marked the evolution of Chavismo are analyzed, from the consolidation of power under Hugo Chavez to the downfall of Nicolas Maduro's regime, and the eventual election of Edmundo Gonzalez, a figure who represents, for many, the possible beginning of a new democratic era in Venezuela. In this sense, the book traces a path through two decades of transformation, crisis, and struggle.The impact of the so-called "Bolivarian Revolution" cannot be understood without analyzing the historical and social context that allowed its emergence: a nation rich in resources but deeply unequal, with profound wounds caused by corruption and the failed policies of the past. This analysis also delves into the role of oil, globalization, and the international influences that shaped the country's destiny. From the 2002 coup, the oil strike, and the failed dialogue attempts, to international sanctions, massive protests, and the radicalization of both sides, Venezuela has become an ideological and political battleground reflecting global tensions between democracy and authoritarianism, social justice, and populism.The election of Edmundo Gonzalez in 2024 marks a turning point in Venezuela's recent history. His rise to power is not just the victory of a candidate, but the result of years of resistance, social mobilization, and the exhaustion of a regime that, after controlling all branches of government, left the country on the brink of total collapse. For many Venezuelans, Gonzalez symbolizes an opportunity to rebuild the country, heal social and political divisions, and restore the democratic institutions that had been eroded during the long rule of Chavismo.

Paperback. Condizione: Fine. 1st. ### PRICES TEMPORARILY REDUCED ON RARE & OBSCURE TITLES ### 55 pages, colour illustrations; 23 cm. Issued in connection with an exhibition held June 6 to September 19, 2004, at the Hood Museum of Art, Dartmouth College, Hanover, and at the University Art Gallery, University of California, San Diego, October 14 to December 11, 2004. Firm binding, clean inside copy. *** "Luis Gispert's work cannily explores and confronts familiar aspects of youth culture, art history, hip-hop music, and, most recently, the artist's own Cuban American background. His large-scale photographs, mounted on their glossy supports, feature ethnically diverse groups of cheerleaders enacting poses that are variously derived from canonical art history - for example, the Renaissance period (Antonio Pollaiuolo) or the Conceptual art movement (Bruce Nauman) - global religions, or popular culture. Luis Gispert: Loud Image represents a profound critique of various dominant cultures and subcultures in contemporary American life, including issues of ethnicity, youth, power, and beauty." - Publisher.
