There are three organizations in the United State that have all, in recent years, signaled and even said outright that Democracy's day is done in the United States - and each is poised to replace it. These groups include the Grand Old Party - US Republicans, who have declared for almost two decades now their desire to install a 'permanent majority'; the Christian Nationalists, Evangelicals who have believed since the mid-Seventies that the United States should be a theocracy, not a democracy, with their own people in charge; and the oligarchy, a network of ultra-wealthy citizens - the top 1% of the top 1% - who have labored for decades to supplant the New Deal framework of the United States with a neoliberal one more favorable to their interests. This series of short books presents overviews of all three of these groups - who they are, what they're about, and how they intend to go about implementing their own visions of American governance.

Shiva, known as the Destroyer in the Trimurti, is a god of destruction and a powerful symbol of transformation and rebirth. This transformative aspect of Shiva, which is deeply ingrained in the duality of life itself, makes him a complex and fascinating entity. In Indian culture, Shiva is not just a deity but a cosmic principle that permeates every aspect of existence. His presence in myths and legends is pervasive, and the stories surrounding him are filled with moral and philosophical teachings that inspire millions of devotees. The symbolism of Shiva is not just rich, but also profoundly intriguing. Every attribute, from the axis he holds in his hand to the serpent coiled around his neck, carries a specific and powerful meaning. The axis represents justice and the power to destroy evil, while the serpent symbolizes the Kundalini energy, the dormant energy that resides in each of us. The crescent moon on his forehead represents cyclical time and his transcendent nature. These symbols are not just ornamental, but serve as tools to understand the deeper truths of life and the universe. Through contemplation of these attributes, devotees come closer to self-realization and deep meditation.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - One of the questions to be eternally debated is when did the Latin American Boom begin. The discussion will likely continue for decades to come, yet there is a certain consensus as to which are three of its arguable commencement years: 1958, 1962 and 1963, to which Founders of the Latin American Boom proposes a fourth in 1964 as climax of the previous ones. Those years involve Carlos Fuentes one way or another, first of all, and, in an order of appearance discussed in these pages, Julio Cortázar, Mario Vargas Llosa and Gabriel García Márquez. Augusto Wong Campos has co-edited two books of letters of the Latin American Boom, Las cartas del Boom (Alfaguara, 2023) and José Donoso and Carlos Fuentes' Correspondencia (Alfaguara, 2024).
