En este mundo nada escapa a la ideologia. Nada escapa, por lo tanto, a la lucha de clases. Este libro intenta develar los mecanismos especificos por los que la ideologia burguesa se reproduce a traves de los personajes de Walt Disney; indagar, asimismo, en la estructura de las historietas para mostrar el universo de connotaciones que desencadena y que termina por ocupar el lugar fundamental en la comprension del mensaje.

(A marathon nine hours talking on the phone, is just one o...)
A marathon nine hours talking on the phone, is just one of the conversations between a woman fleeing Nazi Germany and a mysterious stranger on the other end of the line. He claims to be a friend of the man she has come to Paris to look for, and he seems to know everything about her. The police arrive and take her for questioning. By the same author as Death and the Maiden, with the same density of tension and unuttered threat.

(Told almost exclusively through dialogue, Konfidenz opens...)
Told almost exclusively through dialogue, Konfidenz opens with a woman entering a hotel room and receiving a call from a mysterious stranger who seems to know everything about her and the reasons why she has fled her homeland. Over the next nine hours he tells her many disturbing things about her lover (who may be in great danger), the political situation in which they are enmeshed, and his fantasies of her. A terse political allegory that challenges our assumptions about character, the foundations of our knowledge, and the making of history, Konfidenz draws the reader into a postmodern mystery where nothing―including the text itself―is what it seems.

(La muerte y la doncella, la obra latinoamericana mas repr...)
La muerte y la doncella, la obra latinoamericana mas representada en la historia del mundo, ha llegado a constituirse en un clasico sobre la justicia y el perdon, la memoria y el olvido. Dorfman se ha propuesto a explorar preguntas pocas veces hechas en voz alta: "¿Como pueden los represores y los oprimidos cohabitar una misma tierra, compartir una misma mesa?" preguntas que hoy dîa siguen tan vigentes como cuando Dorfman escribia esta obra.

Formerly exiled Chilean author Ariel Dorfman, one of Latin America's greatest writers and a major literary figure of the twentieth century, is known for such critically acclaimed works as the novel Widows and the play Death and the Maiden. A master of various literary forms, this collection draws together Dorfman's critical essays on contemporary Latin American writing. Spanning more than twenty years and arranged in chronological order, each essay is devoted to a single author—Miguel Angel Asturias, Jorge Luis Borges, José Maria Arguedas, Alejo Carpentier, Gabrial Garcia Márquez, Roa Bastos—and one final essay looks at the "testimonial" or concentration camp literature from Chile. Praise for Ariel Dorfman “One of the most important voices coming out of Latin America.”—Salman Rushdie “A remarkable writer . . . writing out of a very different cultural perspective from comfortable American readers.”—Digby Diehl, Los Angeles Herald Examiner “One of the six greatest Latin American novelists.”—Jacobo Timmerman, Newsweek
