By: by Rodrigo Coloane

Travesía panameña es un libro de carácter divulgativo y científico, donde lo imaginario, aventurero y lo verdadero, se interpolan junto con lo coloquial.

Travesía panameña intenta retomar las preguntas clásicas filosóficas del ser humano: ¿Quiénes somos? ¿De dónde venimos? Y sus respuestas las integra con la exp...

Con esta historia he querido reforzar nuestro linaje africano, quienes realizaron una travesía épica desde África hasta llegar y asentarse en el Istmo de Panamá hace unos 12,500 años. Igualmente, he querido contarles, desde el punto de vista panameño, cómo llegamos aquí desde norte América y, luego, recibimos la influencia de nuestros hermanos europeos.

Babylon’s Destruction

By: by Arif Alwan

This play, predicted, over 30 years ago, what has exactly happened in Iraq in the past decade. Most of the Lebanese publishers rejected publishing this play. In 1975, Alkhalil Press published it and sold more than 2000 copies in the first year. The play then staged in Beirut and Aleppo .. (and probably other countries.. as it’s hard to keep track of these things in the Arab world). The play retrieves an image of the false past, with all its bogus ideas and the pres...

The play was written in an intensive language that has further enriched the beautifully flowing dialogue between the characters. The protagonist is the witty magician, who challenges the Emperor in his weird and sudden decision to establish justice in his country, only because he is bored of being oppressor for so long.

This is a book about school violence on the surface and about love on a deeper level.
