Niña, mujer, otras
Bernardine Evaristo - 2019-05-02
Calificación de Goodreads
Un estilo literario rompedor a caballo entre la poesía y la prosa que la autora define como "literatura fusión". Un texto escrito al margen de las convenciones literarias y las reglas habituales de puntuación que, sin embargo, sorprende por su fluidez y facilidad de lectura. Una Gran Bretaña como nunca se ha contado. De Newcastle a Cornualles, desde principio del siglo veinte hasta las adolescentes del veintiuno, en Niña, mujer, otras seguimos a un reparto de doce personajes en sus viajes personales por este país y sus últimos cien años de vida. Todas están enfrascadas en una búsqueda: un pasado compartido, un futuro inesperado, un lugar al que llamar hogar, un sitio donde encajar, una amante, una madre desaparecida, un padre perdido, e incluso, lisa y llanamente, un rayo de esperanza...

Enjoyed listening to the audio book of GIRL, WOMAN, OTHER @BernardineEvari especially when Carole chooses her favourite number 1729, the smallest number = sum of two cubes in two different ways 1^3+12^3 and 9^3+10^3 (although I think the narrator said 2 rather than 12 cubed)      fuente

East West Street
On the Origins of "Genocide" and "Crimes Against Humanity"
Philippe Sands - 2016-05-24
Calificación de Goodreads
Explore the creation and development of world-changing legal concepts resulting from Hitler's Third Reich. This profound and moving personal detective story uncovers secret pasts and traces the intellectual evolution of two men who simultaneously originated the ideas of "genocide" and "crimes against humanity." Alongside this exploration, the author shares his spellbinding family memoir, tracing the mysterious story of his grandfather who maneuvered through Europe in the face of Nazi atrocities. This book changes the way we look at the world, and our understanding of history and civilization.
