Una novela de suspense psicológico que cuestiona las relaciones de poder entre dos amigas.

La narradora de esta historia, Elvira, recibe un mensaje en una red social: una joven llamada Sara afirma haber sido víctima de un abuso y se encuentra en una situación desesperada. Elvira no duda en ofrecerle su ayuda y le abre las puertas de su intimidad, aunque nada es suficiente para quien no halla consuelo. Poco a poco, Sara se convierte en una presencia asfixiante pero necesaria en la vida de una Elvira entregada a salvarla de sí misma.

Las vulnerabilidades es una historia de suspense psicológico que gira en torno a la relación de poder y dependencia que se establece entre dos mujeres heridas y que cuestiona las consecuencias de un acto tan aparentemente altruista como ayudar a los demás.

Tras ganar el Premio Biblioteca Breve en 2019 con Días sin ti, su primera novela, Elvira Sastre regresa a la ficción más descarnada con una historia inspirada en un episodio real vivido por la autora. En sus propias palabras: «Trato de entender a través de la escritura dónde nacen nuestras heridas. He escrito esta historia para demostrar que la vulnerabilidad es la luz que ilumina la grieta».

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A psychological thriller that questions the power relations between two friends.

The narrator of this story, Elvira, receives a message on a social network: a young woman named Sara claims to have been a victim of abuse and is in a desperate situation. Elvira does not hesitate to offer her help and opens the doors of her intimacy, although nothing is enough for those who do not find comfort. Little by little, Sara becomes a suffocating but necessary presence in the life of an Elvira dedicated to saving her from herself.

Vulnerabilities is a story of psychological suspense that revolves around the relationship of power and dependency that is established between two wounded women and that questions the consequences of an act as apparently altruistic as helping others.

After winning the Biblioteca Breve Prize in 2019 with Días sin ti, her first novel, Elvira Sastre returns to the starkest fiction with a story inspired by a real episode experienced by the author. In his own words: "I try to understand through writing where our wounds are born. I wrote this story to show that vulnerability is the light that illuminates the rift."

The Babylonian Empire
Format: Kindle
This book analyses the achievements and challenges of the Babylonian Empire. It was a significant socio-political entity in Ancient Times. Like Assyria, the Babylonian state retained the written Akkadian language (the language of its native populace) for official use, despite its Northwest Semitic-speaking Amorite founders and Kassite successors, who spoke a language isolate, not being native Mesopotamians. It retained the Sumerian language for religious use (as did Assyria). Still, already by the time, Babylon was founded, this was no longer a spoken language, having been wholly subsumed by Akkadian. The earlier Akkadian and Sumerian traditions played a significant role in Babylonian and Assyrian culture. The region would remain an important cultural center, even under its protracted periods of outside rule. Ganesh of Mari founded the Kassite dynasty. Both Dynasties were significant. Moreover, The Kassites, like the Amorite rulers who had preceded them, were not originally native to Mesopotamia. They had first appeared in the Zagros Mountains of northwestern Iran today. Overall the book is well-written.

History as it should be written!
Format: Paperback
I found this book outstanding in every way. It is a fascinating, vivid picture of an incredible time in history. It’s interesting to read with rigorous research and draws the reader in as it travels through the three nations that ruled from Babylon. It gave me a fresh perspective of how the Old Testament history and prophets fit in with what was happening in Mesopotamia. I highly recommend this book to anyone, whether history buffs or someone completely new to the topic. This book is great for AP students or homeschoolers who will benefit from a solid foundation in the history of Babylon (and Sumer and Assyria) in a fun format they will enjoy reading.

Good reading

Excellent historical information, on an empire that is hardly talked about in the media. All other empires follow this great one.

A difficult book that must be read
This is a Pulitzer Prize winning novel by William Styron (the author of Sophie’s Choice). It is based on a slave revolt in Virginia in 1831, lead by Nate Turner. Turner’s capture and confession is the basis of this book. The novel is told in a 1st person narrative and is largely the work of Styron’s imagination. While it is brilliantly written Styron does include graphic scenes of highly erotic obsessions with various white women and one of the most vivid homosexual encounters in modern literature. Probably because of these scenes Styron was savaged by many of the leading black artists of the day but the book has endured the criticism and is, in many ways, an American Classic. Slavery is an indelible stain on the fabric of American culture. It will never be washed away. Turner is an aesthetic, a religious fanatic, a brilliant, tormented misanthropic, homicidal nihilist. His band of followers slaughters 52 men, women, and children. In retribution the white slaughter 200 blacks. Turner is captured, interrogated, and executed. Instead of inspiring a region wide uprising, he is brought down by his fellow blacks fighting alongside the plantation owners. It is a difficult book to read but it is a book that really should be read.
