Nostradamus’s The Prophecies presents hundreds of tightly compressed quatrains that fracture time and history into symbolic glimpses of upheaval, power, and ruin. The work avoids narrative order; instead it disperses images of kings, empires, celestial disturbances, plagues, and wars across a fog of allegory, where each vision feels suspended between history and imagination. The language is deliberately opaque—layered with astrological references, classical allusions, and oblique metaphors—forcing the listener to navigate a shifting terrain of potential meanings rather than fixed predictions.

Hannah Arendt, filósofa de la política y la cultura cuyas ideas han causado entusiasmo y animadversión, es una de las voces más originales y fértiles del siglo XX, ensalzada como una visionaria por sus iguales y tachada de presuntuosa y farsante por sus adversarios.

Arendt fue una mujer con muchas contradicciones.

The military general who became Emperor Hirohito’s prime minister, Tojo Hideki is most often remembered as an iron-fisted leader who dragged Japan into World War II and—after spectacular losses—was eventually executed as a war criminal.

The overall life expectancy of Americans has declined for the first time since the Great Depression.

Long praised as the pinnacle of political progress, democracy is often wrapped in symbols of freedom, choice, and justice. Yet beneath its familiar rituals lies a system vulnerable to manipulation, co-opted by hidden powers, and sustained by illusions more than truths. This book challenges the comforting narratives that shield modern democracies from scrutiny. It explores how institutions built to serve the people can be quietly steered by elites, how media and technology mask control with noise, and how conformity, not violence, becomes the most effective tool of domination.
