When Paul Friedman was 10 years old, he snuck into Yankee Stadium by sidling his way up to an older man wearing an unbuttoned long coat swaying in the breeze, and ducked between the coat and the man's leg just as they entered the gate. It being 1938, security was lax, and he made it through without being seen and watched his beloved New York Yankees for the first time in person. It was also likely the first time the brash, Bronx-born son of Jewish immigrants portrayed his personality theme of "walking into a place like you own it." It was to become his way of dealing with whatever curves and fast balls life threw at him.

MUCHAS OPINIONES IMPORTANTES, ACÁ LES BRINDO ALGUNAS Relatos como este te atraviesan el alma. Sus personajes permanecerán a tu lado mucho tiempo después de cerrar el libro. Este es una trama que te abre los ojos a un tema muy discutido, pero desde una perspectiva diferente. Podría ser que este mundo distinto forma parte de tu realidad más cercana, pero esa proximidad a veces impide, paradójicamente, verlo con claridad y justicia. La otra mitad de mi vida, la primera novela de M. G. Hernández, reúne todos estos rasgos y nos los ofrece en un relato ciertamente muy posible y entrañable.M. Lizcano>Esta es, quizá, la historia de sueños inconclusos, los de José Tomás y Elvira, los padres de Clara; sueños que Clara consigue hacer realidad a través de Mateo, ahora sí hay que decirlo, el verdadero protagonista de esta historia. O, quizá, es la historia de Clara y el sorprendente giro que dio su vida al conocer por accidente a Mateo. O, tal vez, esta es la historia de Mateo, un ser especial que llegó por casualidad a la vida de Clara, en un lugar al que ella había llegado de casualidad. Es, entonces, ¿una historia de casualidades? Todas las vidas lo son, al menos en parte. Esta es, en definitiva y sin interrogantes, una historia de superación y bondad, de lucha y comprensión, de lágrimas alegres y tristes y de sonrisas tristes y alegres.La otra mitad de mi vida tiene muchos recovecos en su narración, pero por encima de todo es la historia del alma rota y reconstruida de un luchador incansable, Mateo, y del alma enérgica de Clara.Irene Muñoz>¿Qué sucedería si de pronto dos almas entrelazan su camino en busca de la felicidad?Esa es la interrogante que plantea la escritora María Guadalupe Hernández en su libro La otra mitad de mi vida, que combina el presente con los pasados tiempos aciagos de la Segunda Guerra Mundial.Clara y Mateo tendrán que enfrentarse a la maldad, ante las situaciones trágicas en las que se vieron implicados y luchar por el amor que sienten el uno por el otro.El libro refleja el esfuerzo de los seres humanos de aliviar el dolor y el sufrimiento, y aborda la inteligencia del hombre ante los dolores y los desencantos de la vida.Hernández, en su novela, critica el statu quo de la sociedad que define patrones de comportamiento y modos de expresión humana."Desde que nosotros nacemos nos encasillan y nos meten en una jaula", expresó. Ejemplo de estas situaciones son los nombres con los que somos inscritos al nacer, nuestra disconformidad con nuestro género o las peleas que sostenemos con nuestros padres que contradicen el espíritu propio del hombre."El límite de nosotros es el cielo, pero muchos no pueden romper esa barrera", agregó.Jose Vilar>"La otra mitad de mi vida" es una novela que nos deja con la esperanza de que pronto volveremos a encontrarnos con Clara y su vida. Una historia con toda una serie de conflictos personales y familiares que pueden desestabilizar, descarrilar, una vida común, pero Clara es una mujer hecha de acero.Clara puede ser por momentos calculadamente racional, o puede mostrarnos una faceta más personal y emocional; la riqueza de los matices en sus sentimientos le facilita la diversidad de relaciones que mantiene y nutre.Marcos G. Villasmil>Una novela realista que, toca muchos temas actuales de una forma honesta y respetuosa. La historia de Clara y Mateo no es la típica historia de amor, es la historia de dos personas que a través del amor, logran sanarse y redescubrirse. Es de fácil lectura, pero su narrativa puede sorprenderte al dar un cambio que para algunos puede ser sutil pero que tiene mucha profundidad. Cada personaje fue creado con mucho detalle y el relato es tan específico que te transporta a cada lugar que los protagonistas visitan. Es una novela moderna que disfrute

Hilaire Belloc makes the case in his book "The Servile State" that capitalism leads to a new kind of slavery in which people are reliant on their employers and establishes a "servile" state. Belloc advocated for a "distributist" system that would broadly share ownership and management of the means of production among the populace in order to foster more economic stability, social cohesion, and individual liberty and dignity. Belloc condemned capitalism for putting most of the population in a state of slavery by concentrating money and property ownership in the hands of a tiny number of people. Belloc thought that the distributist system would result in a society that was more fair and equal, with more people owning their own property and having more influence over their own financial futures. In his view, doing so would foster better social stability, individual liberty, and dignity, eventually resulting in a society that was more peaceful and successful. A criticism of the social and economic effects of capitalism, "The Servile State" suggests a different economic structure based on better distributive fairness and equality. The book has influenced economic and political philosophy throughout history and has served as an inspiration for current movements that call for greater economic democracy and social fairness.

Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, an Austrian novelist, first published his book "Venus in Furs" in 1870. The narrative centers on Severin von Kusiemski, who develops an obsession with Wanda von Dunajew. Wanda's attractiveness and assertive nature interest Severin, who persuades her to accept him as her slave. When Wanda agrees, Severin submits to her completely, giving her the power to rule and manipulate him. The book examines topics including sexuality and desire as well as power, dominance, and surrender. It is significant for establishing the idea of masochism, which bears the author's name and refers to the practice of taking pleasure in humiliation or suffering. The book has received acclaim for its psychological nuance and examination of interpersonal connections, but it has also drawn criticism for how it portrays women and for its overtly sexualized language. Venus, the Roman goddess of love, and the furs Wanda dons while controlling Severin are references in the book's title. The book has been converted into a variety of media, such as operas, plays, and movies, and it has impacted the creative output of numerous writers and performers.

"Pragmatism" is a philosophical work written by William James in 1907. The book explores the concept of pragmatism, which is a philosophical approach that emphasizes the practical consequences of ideas and beliefs. In the book, James argues that truth should be defined in terms of practical consequences rather than abstract principles. He suggests that ideas and beliefs should be evaluated based on how well they work in the real world, rather than how well they conform to preconceived notions or ideals. James also explores the relationship between belief and action, arguing that our beliefs influence our actions and that we should seek to align our beliefs with our actions in order to live a more fulfilling life. He also discusses the importance of individual experience in shaping our beliefs and the role of uncertainty in the pursuit of truth.
