From the internationally bestselling author of Nefertiti and Cleopatra's Daughter comes the breathtaking story of Queen Lakshmi--India's Joan of Arc--who…
against all odds defied the mighty British invasion to defend her beloved kingdom.When the British Empire sets its sights on India in the mid-nineteenth century, it expects a quick and easy conquest. India is fractured and divided into kingdoms, each independent and wary of one another, seemingly no match for the might of the English. But when they arrive in the Kingdom of Jhansi, the British army is met with a surprising challenge. Instead of surrendering, Queen Lakshmi raises two armies--one male and one female--and rides into battle, determined to protect her country and her people. Although her soldiers may not appear at first to be formidable against superior British weaponry and training, Lakshmi refuses to back down from the empire determined to take away the land she loves. Told from the unexpected perspective of Sita--Queen Lakshmi's most favored companion and most trusted soldier in the all-female army--Rebel Queen shines a light on a time and place rarely explored in historical fiction. In the tradition of her bestselling novel, Nefertiti, and through her strong, independent heroines fighting to make their way in a male dominated world, Michelle Moran brings nineteenth-century India to rich, vibrant life.

tiranía que arrebata lo ajeno, sea sagrado o profano, privado o público, por dolo o por fuerza, no ya en pequeñas partes, sino en masa.» Platón, La República Tal vez Platón sea el filósofo más importante de la historia. Escrito en Atenas hacia el 375 a.C., La república es su diálogo más conocido. Su discusión de la ciudad perfecta, y la mente perfecta, sentó los cimientos de la cultura occidental y, durante más de dos mil años, ha estado en el corazón de la filosofía occidental. En este libro Simon Blackburn explica las ideas jurídicas, morales y políticas de La república, y examina su influencia en el mundo contemporáneo. Muestra cómo, desde san Agustín hasta Wordsworth y los filósofos del siglo XX, el pensamiento occidental ha sido, y sigue siendo, una serie de respuestas a uno de los libros más importantes del mundo.

Arias Maldonado Traducción y notas de Mauro Armiño Mientras los seres humanos convivan, será necesaria la política. Maquiavelo, que lo sabía por su experiencia en el gobierno de la Florencia renacentista, escribió este tratado para analizar el modo en que los gobernantes consiguen el poder y lo conservan. Con ejemplos históricos, expone una filosofía política en la que el valor de las acciones se define a partir de su eficacia, inaugurando un realismo que se aleja de las corrientes moralistas y utópicas de su época. La presente edición ofrece una nueva traducción anotada de Mauro Armiño, realizada a la luz de las mejores ediciones y más recientes italianas; se abre con una brillante introducción a cargo del escritor y politólogo Manuel Arias Maldonado en la que se defiende la relevancia del texto en nuestros días.

A Nobel Prize-winner's unforgettable novel about a man who sheds the stifling country life of his childhood for the excitement…
of Copenhagen.This masterpiece of Danish literature, admired by the likes of Georg Lukács and Ernst Bloch, is now available in a new English translation.A Fortunate Man tells the story of Per Sidenius, a Lutheran pastor's son who revolts against his family and flees the backwaters of Jutland for Copenhagen. Per is handsome, ambitious, and hungry for the technological future of the twentieth century. He studies engineering and draws up plans for a new port and new canals, for harnessing wind and wave energy to transform Denmark into a commercial giant. Fully persuaded of his own genius, Per first repels and then attracts Jakobe Salomon, a young Jewish woman whose family is eager to underwrite his plans. They fall in love and get engaged; gradually Jakobe opens Per's eyes to the wider world. Meanwhile, he also falls under the spell of Dr. Nathan, a popular philosopher who rails against the conservative powers that be. But ultimately these powers win out, Per's relationship with Jakobe founders, and he goes home to Jutland and marries a pastor's daughter. Though fortunate, he is never happy.One of the last great nineteenth-century novels and Henrik Pontoppidan's masterpiece, A Fortunate Man anatomizes and skewers Danish society, from the small towns to the metropolis. Paul Larkin's dazzling translation brings out the wide range and full force of a novel admired by Georg Lukács and praised by Ernst Bloch as "one of the foundational texts of world literature."This translation was funded in part by a grant from the Danish Arts Foundation.

clásico de la literatura china, se ha convertido en lectura esencial para quienes buscan el éxito, tanto en la vida personal como en los negocios. Uno de los rasgos más interesantes del texto de Sun Tzu es que no pareciera que fue compuesto como un libro de contenido estrictamente castrense. Claramente el autor tenía una intención más amplia que la simple exposición de una serie de técnicas limitadas a las operaciones militares. Se trata de una obra colmada de temas filosóficos que obligan al lector a examinar su ser, su relación con otros y la naturaleza de las circunstancias, para así obtener un objetivo deseado. De manera tal que El arte de la guerra se presta para ser interpretado y aplicado a toda aquella situación que involucre la necesidad de resolver conflictos de una manera eficiente y expedita. Entre esas circunstancias también se encuentran, naturalmente, nuestros propios conflictos internos, en los cuales tratamos de vencer nuestros defectos o debilidades, por lo que el enemigo del cual Sun Tzu escribe se puede expresar de muchas formas a lo largo de nuestras vidas. En otras palabras, El arte de la guerra parece contener y develar las doctrinas esenciales para alcanzar el éxito de muchas maneras y en muchos contextos. De la introducción de Alejandro Bárcenas

identity, and equality in our digitally networked society. Drawing on the multi-disciplinary expertise of a remarkable team of leading Canadian and international scholars, as well as Canada’s foremost digital literacy organization, MediaSmarts, this collection presents the complex realities of digitized communications for girls and young women as revealed through the findings of The eGirls Project (www.egirlsproject.ca) and other important research initiatives. Aimed at moving dialogues on scholarship and policy around girls and technology away from established binaries of good vs bad, or risk vs opportunity, these seminal contributions explore the interplay of factors that shape online environments characterized by a gendered gaze and too often punctuated by sexualized violence. Perhaps most importantly, this collection offers first-hand perspectives collected from girls and young women themselves, providing a unique window on what it is to be a girl in today’s digitized society. Published in English.

It&’s the most fascinating and important account of how AI will transform the way we learn.&”—Walter Isaacson, #1 New York Times bestselling authorFrom the founder of Khan Academy, the first book on the AI revolution in education, its implications for parenting, and how we can best harness its power for good.Whether we like it or not, the AI revolution is coming to education. In Brave New Words, Salman Khan, the visionary behind Khan Academy, explores how artificial intelligence and GPT technology will transform learning, and offers a road map for teachers, parents, and students to navigate this exciting (and sometimes intimidating) new world.A pioneer in the field of education technology, Khan examines the ins and outs of these cutting-edge tools and how they will revolutionize the way we learn and teach. For parents concerned about their children&’s success, Khan illustrates how AI can personalize learning by adapting to each student&’s individual pace and style, identifying strengths and areas for improvement, and offering tailored support and feedback to complement traditional classroom instruction. Khan emphasizes that embracing AI in education is not about replacing human interaction but enhancing it with customized and accessible learning tools that encourage creative problem-solving skills and prepare students for an increasingly digital world.But Brave New Words is not just about technology—it&’s about what this technology means for our society, and the practical implications for administrators, guidance counselors, and hiring managers who can harness the power of AI in education and the workplace. Khan also delves into the ethical and social implications of AI and large language models, offering thoughtful insights into how we can use these tools to build a more accessible education system for students around the world.
