-Titulo Original : Torneo Internacional De Ajedrez, Celebrado En La Habana De 1913: Celebrado En La Habana Del 15 De Febrero Al 6 De Marzo De 1913 (Spanish Edition)-Fabricante : Ishi Press-Descripcion Original: José Raúl Capablanca fue un ajedrecista cubano, campeón mundial de ajedrez de 1921 a 1927. En 1913 jugó en La Habana y terminó segundo detrás de Frank Marshall, habiendo perdido una de las partidas contra el norteamericano después de tener una posición ventajosa. Reuben Fine afirmó que Capablanca había exigido al alcalde el desalojar a todos los espectadores para que no lo vieran en el mal estado de ánimo mientras perdía. Esta historia ha circulado en libros y en la Red; sin embargo, el libro de Edward G. Winter (véase aquí) documenta que la historia de Fine no tiene ningún fundamento. Demuestra en cambio que los 600 espectadores presentes, que naturalmente apoyaban a su compatriota, le dieron a Marshall una fuerte ovación. Las notas del mismo Marshall corroboran esta versión: Cuando oyó el griterío de la multitud creyó que lo iban a linchar, por lo que pidió una escolta de seguridad para que lo llevara rápidamente a su hotel. Después le contaron lo que había sucedido en realidad. a Habana 1913, por José Raúl Capablanca. Este es el único libro del torneo, escribió. Fue publicado originalmente en español en 1913 en La Habana. Edward Invierno tradujo al Inglés, y apareció como una reimpresión British Chess Magazine, Trimestral Nº 18, en 1976...

-Titulo Original : Madame Curie A Biography Of Marie Curie By Eve Curie-Fabricante : Ishi Press-Descripcion Original: In terms of practical accomplishments helping to better the lives of people today, Madame Marie Curie far exceeds the achievements of any other modern or scientific person. Anybody who is in a hospital that uses an X-Ray machine is using technology developed by Marie Curie. Any cancer patient who is undergoing radiation treatment to prolong life is using a procedure discovered by Marie Curie. Anybody who turns on a light bulb in their house is likely using power from a nuclear power plant based on discoveries made by Marie Curie. The list of discoveries made by Marie Curie goes on and on, not the least of which it was the discoveries of Marie Curie of nuclear fission that made the Atomic Bomb and other nuclear weapons possible. Yet except for a few academics and watchers of The Discovery Channel, the name of Marie Curie is largely unknown. Ask a hundred men on the street if they know who Marie Curie is or was, not more than one of them will have ever heard her. If you ask the same group if they have ever heard of Albert Einstein, all of them will have heard of him. Yet, Albert Einstein was only concerned with theoretical physics and his own theories. None of his discoveries have yet been proven or confirmed. None have been made into a machine like the common X-Ray Machine now seen in all major hospitals. Marie Curie suffered from a form of discrimination experienced by almost all women of academic accomplishment. Her discoveries were not taken seriously or were often credited to some man in her background. Always it was assumed that the real work was done by some man and that the woman was just a wall flower...

-Titulo Original : Escape From Freedom-Fabricante : Ishi Press-Descripcion Original: lf a man cannot stand freedom, he will probably turn Fascist. This, in the fewest possible words, is the essential argument in this modem classic, ESCAPE FROM FREEDOM. The author, Erich Fromm, is a distinguished psychologist, late of Berlin and Heidelberg, now of New York City. He applies the psychoanalytical method to the illness of our civilization which expresses itself in an abject submission to dictatorship. It is true that the rise of democracy set men free and brought to an end the authority of the medieval state and the medieval church. But it brought into existence a society where a man feels isolated from his fellows, where relationships in an industrial age are impersonal, where insecurity replaces a sense of belonging. This sense of isolation may drive an individual to one of various forms of escape. lt may drive a people to seek escape in blind devotion to a Leader, in utter submission to an all-powerful State, into a barbarous and sadistic program of aggression against minority groups or neighbor nations. Few- books since the rise of the dictators have thrown such light upon our times. Few books have penetrated so clearly into the causes of Fascism and Nazism - and into the inherent qualities of a democracy. In his psychoanalysis of the social scene, the author makes a new contribution to psychology by modifying the basic concepts of Freud in placing a purely biological orientation by a cultural one. To all who see that democracy today faces its gravest hour, Dr Fromm illustrates the essential character of the danger and the nature of democracys responsibility. By its brilliant exposition of the modern social scene ESCAPE FROM FREEDOM will help clarify many of todays most perplexing problem...

-Titulo Original : Animal Farm George Orwell - Large Print Edition-Fabricante : Ishi Press-Descripcion Original: Animal Farm is the greatest, most famous and most popular work by George Orwell.

-Titulo Original : The Metamorphosis Franz Kafka Large Print Edition-Fabricante : Ishi Press-Descripcion Original: Metamorphosis is a strange story about a man who woke up in bed one morning to find himself having been transformed into a “horrible vermin”. From the description of his armor-like back and his brown belly, slightly domed and divided by arches into stiff sections, it appears that he is now an insect such as a beetle or a cockroach. First published in 1915 in German as Die Verwandlung, this book is studied in colleges and universities across the Western world. It has been translated many times and made into movies, TV shows and even comic books. About the Author Franz Kafka was born in 3 July 1883 in Prague in what is now the Czech Republic. He spent most of his working life working as an insurance claims adjuster. While not working, he spent most of his time writing. Essentially, writing was a hobby although eighteen of his short stories including this one were published by literary journals while he was alive. He died of tuberculosis on 3 June 1924 at age 40. He was virtually unknown during his own lifetime. He left his works at his death to Max Brod, with instructions to burn his lifes work. However, Brod started publishing them instead and Kafka soon became famous as a writer, Although Kafka never married and had no children, he had relations with several women and lived with some of them. Some aspects of this story seem autobiographical, as Gregors relations with his younger sister and his parents seem similar to Kafkas own relations with his parents and his younger sisters. Most studies of this work focus on the psychological aspects. Kafkas most famous work, in addition to The Metamorphoses, is The Trial. It tells the story of a man arrested and prosecuted by a remote tribunal, with the nature of his crime revealed neither to him nor to the reader. When this sort of trial happens in modern life, we call it Kafkaesque. Kafka was Jewish and had three younger sisters all of whom died during the Holocaust. After the end of the war, Kafka had became famous and court battles developed over who had the rights to his manuscripts. His surviving relatives immigrated to Israel where the courts took jurisdiction over them and predictably ruled that they belonged to the State of Israel. Even today, many if not most of Kafkas works remain unpublished. Some have disappeared. They are probably in the hands of private collectors. Some have been sold at public auctions showing that they are still worth millions...
