Though fencing is seen as a graceful and noble sport, it is not without its seamy sides. By the Sword traces the darkness behind the mask, from the sport's early brutal days to the more civilised, yet no less dangerous, days of duelling and then to the present day. Abraham Lincoln, Karl Marx and Mussolini were all involved in duels, Hitler gave fencing a special emphasis in his regime and the best fencer the world has ever seen was an anti-Soviet spy. Cohen delves behind the headlines exposing lurid tales of cheating and blackmail, of murder and strange love affairs, the honour and dishonour of swordmanship and its cultural side from The Three Musketeers to Star Trek. Above all the book portrays the character of fencing - at once graceful, balletic, rough, technically beautiful and fiercely competitive.

La homosexualidad tiene hoy una presencia notoria en nuestra sociedad. Parece que está de moda salir del armario y son muchas las personas que conocen a alguien con una orientación homosexual (un vecino, un compañero, un pariente, un amigo). Comprender y sanar la homosexualidad arroja luz sobre un asunto que ha estado rodeado de incomprensión durante mucho tiempo. En este libro se abordan preguntas sobre las causas de la atracción hacia las personas del propio sexo y acerca de cómo se puede pasar de ser homosexual a ser heterosexual. Este texto -que recoge los testimonios de muchas personas que han logrado realizar esa transición- resultará iluminador y abrirá un horizonte de esperanza para aquellas personas que han buscado durante mucho tiempo una orientación para comprender y sanar su propia vida o la de alguien cercano. Es posible que este libro genere controversia, pero tiene un solo fin: sanar muchas vidas . . . por ejemplo, la de un ser querido . . . o quizás la tuya.
