By: Jordi Llobregat

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Frankenstein meets The Shadow of the Wind in a Gothic thriller set in the diabolical city of fin-de-siecle Barcelona. Daniel Amat has left Spain and all that happened there behind him. Having just achieved a brilliant role in Ancient Languages at Oxford University and an even more advantageous engagement, the arrival of a letter - a demand - stamped Barcelona comes like a cold hand from behind. He arrives back in that old, labyrinthine and near-mythic city a few days before the great 1888 World Fair, amid dread whispers of murders - the injuries reminiscent of an ancient curse, and bearing signs of the genius 16th century anatomist, Vesalius. Daniel is soon pulled into the depths of the crime, and eventually into the tunnels below Barcelona, where his own dark past and the future of science are joined in a terrible venture - to bring the secret of Vesalius to life. Gothic and gripping, this historical thriller makes of Barcelona a diabolical character - emerging out of the dark into a new electrical age, aflame with spirit, superstition and science. Published in eighteen countries, Jordi Llobregat's bestselling first novel mixes a passionate setting and cryptic mystery into a genre-crossing phenomenon.

Comparative Public Policy in Latin America

By: Jordi Diez,Susan Franceschet

This pioneering collection offers a comprehensive investigation into how to study public policy in Latin America. While this region exhibits many similarities with the North American and European countries that have traditionally served as sources for generating public policy knowledge, Latin American countries are also different in many fundamental ways. As such, existing policy concepts and frameworks may not always be the most effective tools of analysis for this unique region. To fill this gap, Comparative Public Policy in Latin America offers guidelines for refining current theories to suit Latin America’s contemporary institutional and socio-economic realities. The contributors accomplish this task by identifying the features of the region that shape public policy, including informal norms and practices, social inequality, and weak institutions. This book promises to become the definitive work on contemporary public policy in Latin America, essential for those who study the area as well as comparative public policy more broadly.

Vientos del Sur

By: Jordi Sugra Es,Jordi Sugrañes

En "Vientos del Sur", Raúl dirige el Centro de Acogida Municipal; aquella tarde de Junio, cuando el grupo de inmigrantes llega a sus puertas, no sospecha que aquello es el principio de una verdadera pesadilla; que su vida, va a dar un vuelco insospechado. El asesinato de uno de los recién llegados, y la injusta destitución de su cargo que la misma acarrea, inicia una frenética cadena de acontecimientos: La misteriosa ONG que le ofrece los medios para investigar, la cadena de acontecimientos que van sucediéndose, el asesinato de su mejor amigo, los recovecos a los que su búsqueda de la verdad le va acercando...y por fin el amor de Laura. Todo esto hace de "Vientos del Sur" una novela trepidante a veces, y de ritmo rápido siempre; en que la lucha contra muchas de las peores lacras que ensucian nuestra sociedad, se muestran con dureza. Al final, todo termina en una incierta batalla ganada, pero la guerra sigue, no se puede bajar la guardia.

11 formas de influir en el subconsciente de tu cliente y asegurar la venta

By: Jordi Villar Lleonart

El éxito de los vendedores depende de su conocimiento de los procesos automáticos de toma de decisiones y de su capacidad para influir en ellos. La venta depende del filtro que el cliente utilice para juzgar al vendedor y a su producto. En este libro aprenderás cómo funciona el cerebro de los clientes a la hora de tomar decisiones, es decir, qué hace que un cliente tome una decisión u otra, y por qué a veces confía más en un vendedor que en otro; y qué decir, cómo y cuándo para condicionar esos automatismos mentales a tu favor y aumentar significativamente tus probabilidades de conseguir un sí.

First International Symposium On Current Issues of Drug Abuse Testing

By: Jordi Segura,Rafael de la Torre

This book elaborates on the topics covered by top experts in the field of drug testing at an international symposium held in March, 1990. The book is an excellent reference for all professionals involved in the set up, performance and interpretation of results for drug testing programs using biological fluids (especially urine). U.S. and European perspectives are presented in relation to workplace testing. Organizational aspects for reliability of drug testing include topics ranging from sample collection, chain of custody, and laboratory strategies to legal and regulatory aspects. Critical reviews of analytical methodology involve descriptions and critical issues for the major presumptive and confirmatory techniques, including immunological and gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric methodologies. The book's interpretation of results takes into account the metabolic, pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic and clinical aspects. The final chapters of the book include topics addressing aspects for potential international harmonization.

Literature as a Response to Cultural and Political Repression in Franco's Catalonia

By: Jordi Cornellà-Detrell

A thoroughly researched and documented study of Catalan literature under the Franco regime, focussed on several key post-Civil War novels and their authors. During the 1950s and 1960s, several key Catalan authors set about rewriting some of their narrative work despite the obstacles to publication in Catalan under the Franco regime. This study describes the social, political and cultural conditions that impelled Salvador Espriu, Xavier Benguerel, Sebastià Juan Arbó and Joan Sales to revise Laia, El testament, Tino Costa and Incerta glòria, concentrating particularly on the linguistic debates and literary trends from the 1950s to the early 1970s. Drawing on a wide range of theoretical perspectives, this book examines the reasons for the rewriting, including censorship and self-censorship, generational and ideological changes within the Catalan literary field, controversies over linguistic purism, the appearance of new literary trends and gender and political issues. It focuses on the (re)construction of a distinctive national identity and the impact of repression, memory, exile and silence on the representation of the war and the post-war periods. This study explores not only how writers or society at large were affected by the dictatorship, but how the armed conflict left its mark on the writing process itself. Jordi Cornellà-Detrell is a Lecturer in Spanish in the School of Modern Languages at Bangor University.

Past and Power: Public Policies on Memory. Debates, from Global to Local

By: Jordi Guixé,Coromines

The public authorities have not successfully resolved the management of the traumatic memory of the wars, dictatorships and massacres to which the European project was always intended to be a counterpoint. The conflict of memories and the public discourses about the past are latent on ideological, political and cultural levels. However, if in the past the conflict concerning memories tended to develop inside the borders of countries, it has now leapt into the European arena. This has also led to the confrontation and questioning of the great narratives established in the common memory, especially with countries of the East joining the European Union. Each community, group or nation maintains common memories that do not always fit in or converge with a general overall account. The origins of the UB Solidarity Foundation’s European Observatory on Memories lie in these debates, and through this book — which includes the contributions of specialists in multiple disciplines and the speeches that were given at the first international symposium, “Memory and Power: A Transnational Perspective” — it hopes to present some of the key challenges that this conflict of memories has in store for us in the present and in the future.

Lost Luggage

A Novel

By: Jordi Punti

The prize-winning debut novel from a major new talent in Catalan literature—the story of four half-brothers who only discover the others’ existence when the father who abandoned them all is reported missing. Christof, Christophe, Christopher, and Cristòfol are four brothers—sons of the same father and four very different mothers—yet none of them knows of the others’ existence. They live in four different cities: Frankfurt, Paris, London, and Barcelona. Unbeknownst to them, they have one thing in common: Gabriel Delacruz—a truck driver—abandoned them when they were little and they never heard from him again. Then one day, Cristòfol is contacted by the police: his father is officially a missing person. This fact leads him to discover that he has three half-brothers, and the four young men come together for the first time. Two decades have passed since their father last saw any of them. They barely remember what he was like, but they decide to look for him to resolve their doubts. Why did he abandon them? Why do all four have the same name? Did he intend for them to meet? Divided by geography yet united by blood, the “Christophers” set out on a quest that is at once painful, hilarious, and extraordinary. They discover a man who during thirty years of driving was able to escape the darkness of Franco’s Spain and to explore a luminous Europe, a journey that, with the birth of his sons, both opened and broke his heart.
