DURRELL-MILLER . CARTAS, 1935-1980 (MACNIVEN, IAN S.)

He aquí una amistad paradigmática, como Diderot-D’Alembert, Goethe-Schiller, Marx-Engels, Bracque-Picasso... Durrell leyó Trópico de Cáncer e inmediatamente escribió una carta elogiosísima a Henry Miller (“Saludo a Trópico como el libro de mi generación. Está hecho a la medida del hombre”) que Miller contestó feliz y cauto (“Su carta es tan vívida, tan incisiva que tengo curiosidad por saber si usted mismo no es escritor”). Un millón de palabras se escribieron desde entonces hasta 1980, año de la muerte de Miller. La mayoría de ellas están aquí sin los expurgos de que fueron antes objeto.

EL CHE GUEVARA Y EL FBI . EL EXPEDIENTE DE LA POLICÍA POLÍTICA DE ESTADOS UNIDOS SOBRE EL REVOLUCIONARIO LATINOAMERICANO (SALAZAR J., GRACIELA)

Se presentan aquí, publicados por primera vez, los archivos de la policía secreta de Estados Unidos sobre el legendario revolucionario Ernesto Che Guevara. En ellos se muestra cómo el FBI y la CIA vigilaban sus movimientos en Estados Unidos, África y América Latina. Con una introducción de los editores, este libro plantea una pregunta obvia: ¿por qué el FBI abrió este dossier? Los materiales presentados respaldan la sospecha de que las agencias norteamericanas de espionaje planeaban el asesinato de Guevara desde el inicio de los años sesenta, y permiten suponer que mantenían ese propósito cuando éste marchó a Bolivia en 1957.

JAZZ CLEOPATRA . JOSEPHINE BAKER Y SU TIEMPO (ROSE, PHYLLIS)

De las calles de los barrios pobres de St. Louis, surgió, allá por los locos años veinte, Josephine Baker, la diosa del music-hall. Esta es no sólo la biografía de un personaje cuya vida ya es de por sí toda una apasionante aventura, sino también, a través de la «pequeña» historia del vaudeville, la gran historia de dos culturas en un período particularmente movido de nuestro siglo. Nacida en 1906, la Baker padeció de muy niña el abandono del padre, los abusos de sus amos blancos y los disturbios raciales de 1917. El jazz la arrancó de la miseria : a los trece años, partió con una troupe de artistas negros con quienes aprendió a bailar y cantar. En 1925, finalmente, debutó en París, obteniendo un éxito arrollador. Pero aún le esperaban la ascensión nazi, su lucha en la Resistencia entre las fabulosas tournées, la adopción de niños abandonados, la lenta decadencia del music-hall y el retorno triunfal en los años sesenta, truncado por una muerte repentina. A su entierro asistieron más de 20.000 personas?
