“Te juro que soy culpable”, novela de ficción, es el lenguaje literario utilizado para explicar el hecho político. Y no a la inversa, fenómeno común entre los autores del exilio, lo cual se justifica: es difícil sustraerse de la pasión y la elocuencia del discurso patriótico, anticastrista. Es el libro que esperado sobre la tragedia cubanA. La Editorial Planeta de Miami –subsidiaria de la casa matriz de España- asumió el riesgo, encargándose del título.

Te Juro Que Soy Culpable

Juan Manuel Cao

For the first time ever, a Spanish Prime Minister discusses in a direct, clear-cut fashion they key issues of his tenure as well as the motivation behind his personal and political stances. In his memoirs, José María Aznar also analyzes Spain's transition from Franco's dictatorship to democratization, and the successful efforts of his own administration to privatize government-owned businesses. In the international arena, Aznar describes Spain's entry into the European Union and the country's relationship with other union members. He also outlines his policies and commitments toward the process of globalization. Aznar devotes a large part of his book to his antiterrorist efforts. He explains his 1996 pact with the nationalist Basques and the Catalonians. He reveals his reaction to the 9/11 attack, why he supported the war in Iraq, and whether he believes a victory over terrorism is at hand. A bestseller in Spain and Latin America, this history of Aznar's eight years a Prime Minister of Spain provides an unequaled, first-hand view of the Spanish government, the European Union, and the war on terrorism.

Una sobreviviente de los campos de concentración de Auschwitz y de Birkenau. La visión de cinco chimeneas arrojando el humo de la carne quemada de centenares de miles de seres humanos, entre ellos los padres y los dos hijos de la escritora. Crónica auténtica y documentada del genocidio más conocido de la historia del siglo XX. Un testimonio irrefutable de los «experimentos científicos» realizados en seres vivos. Cómo eran y actuaban los dirigentes de Auschwitz y Belsen; quién fue Joseph Kramer, juzgado como el criminal número uno en el proceso de Luneburg. Olga Lengyel conservó como testimonio de esta experiencia las cicatrices y la marca del cautiverio, pruebas que mantuvieron incólume su espíritu de humanismo. Muy por encima de cualquier sensacionalismo, este documento perdurable es un amargo recordatorio a la humanidad de las indescriptibles consecuencias del odio racial, la intolerancia religiosa y el despotismo político. En Los hornos de Hitler la autora narra al mundo el horror de los campos de exterminio nazis. Description in English: Olga Lengyel was a trained surgical assistant in Kolozsvr, Hungary, working in the hospital where her husband, Dr. Miklos Lengyel, was director. In the spring of 1944, she was deported with her husband, parents and children to the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp; she was the only member of her family to survive. She wrote about her experiences in a memoir, Five Chimneys: The Story of Auschwitz, first published in France in 1946 as Souvenirs de l'au-del. (A later American paperback edition was entitled I Survived Hitler's Ovens; more recent editions have used the title Five Chimneys: A Woman Survivor's True Story of Auschwitz) These kinds of experiences made her a strong and independent woman. Her children died in the gas chamber. ""I cannot acquit myself of the charge that I am, in part, responsible for the destruction of my own parents and of my two young sons. The world understands that I could not have known, but in my heart the terrible feeling persists that I could have, I might have, saved them."" After the war, Lengyel emigrated to the United States where she founded the Memorial Library chartered by the University of the State of New York. She died in 2001 at the age of 93, after surviving three bouts of cancer.

El 18 de febrero de 2014 el líder de Voluntad Popular, Leopoldo López, se entrega a las autoridades venezolanas. Le acusan, sin pruebas ni testigos, de ser el responsable intelectual de la violencia desatada tras las manifestaciones del 12 de febrero en Caracas, que se saldaron con varios jóvenes asesinados. (Description in English below) Es recluido en prisión preventiva y, un año y medio más tarde, en septiembre de 2015, los tribunales del régimen de Maduro le condenan, en un juicio sin garantías, a trece años, nueve meses, siete días y doce horas de cárcel. Este es el diario inédito y clandestino de Leopoldo López, preso político y preso de conciencia, desde la cárcel militar de Ramo Verde. Las conversaciones con otros prisioneros, a menudo desde detrás de los barrotes; las visitas de su mujer, Lilian Tintori, que se ha convertido en su voz en el exterior, y de sus dos hijos; la huelga de hambre que emprende; las requisas violentas, las largas jornadas de soledad, sus reflexiones... Todo ello conforma un vibrante testimonio de la resistencia pacífica de López a un régimen infame, a una dictadura disfrazada de populismo que puede tener los días contados. Description in English: On February 18, 2014, Leopoldo Lopez, leader of the Voluntad Popular party, surrenders to Venezuelan authorities. He is accused -without evidence nor witnesses- of being responsible for the violent events following a series of riots in the capital, Caracas on February 12 which resulted in many young people getting killed. He is incarcerated at a preventive jail and one year and half later, on September of 2015, the courts of President Nicolas Maduro s regime sentence him to a thirteen-year, nine months, seven days and twelve hours of jail, following a trial that lacked of any type of civil guarantees. This is Leopoldo Lopez s unpublished and clandestine journal, a prisoner for political and ideological reasons, starting the day when he was incarcerated at the Ramo Verde military prison. These are accounts of his conversations with other inmates; of the visits by his wife, Lilian Tintory, who has become his speaker at international forums; of his hunger strike; of the violent treatment; of the long and lonely days in confinement; of his thoughts... This is a vibrant testimony of the nonviolent opposition by Lopez against an infamous government, a dictatorship disguised of populism that could soon be reaching its final days.
