Escuela de Belleza de Kabul es un admirable relato sobre una extraordinaria comunidad de mujeres que se unieron para aprender el arte de las permanentes, de la amistad y de la supervivencia. Tras la caída del régimen talibán, Deborah Rodriguez, peluquera y madre de dos hijos, viajó a Afganistán como parte de un grupo de ayuda humanitaria. Una vez allí, no sabía muy bien lo que ella podría ofrecer a este país destrozado por la guerra. Pero pronto descubrió que su profesión, más que un obstáculo, era una bendición, y en cuanto se corrióla voz de que una peluquera había llegado a Kabul, todos, occidentales y afganos, querían pedir cita para un buen corte de pelo. Y así nació la idea... Con la ayuda de empresas y patrocinadores internacionales, la Escuela de Belleza de Kabul, con Rodriguez al mando, impartió su primera clase en 2003. Un lugar este en el que superar las barreras culturales y los retos que ofrecía un país en posguerra. Un lugar que se convirtió en refugio para unas mujeres que no sólo aprendieron a peinar y a maquillar, sino también a abrirsu corazón y a compartir sus increíbles y, a veces, enternecedoras historias. Fue así como esta peluquera norteamericana encontró fuerzas para romper con un matrimonio enfermizo y encontrar un nuevo amor, esta vez al estilo afgano. Con cariño y humor, Deborah Rodriguez detalla la exuberancia de una región aparentemente desolada y revela la magnificencia que hay detrás del burka en esta conmovedora historia real. Reseñas: «Esta animada crónica autobiográfica está llena de momentos de humor negro, que aligeran el relato de lo cotidiano en un país desgarrado por la guerra. Una lectura amena pero llena de sustancia.» People «Como la propia autora explica con alegría: "Casi nunca me lo pienso antes de hacer algo, sino que simplemente lo hago, por lo general con resultados desastrosos". En otras ocasiones, en cambio, como es el caso de este libro, los resultados no podían haber sido mejores.» Entertainment Weekly

Soon after the fall of the Taliban, in 2001, Deborah Rodriguez went to Afghanistan as part of a group offering humanitarian aid to this war-torn nation. Surrounded by men and women whose skills–as doctors, nurses, and therapists–seemed eminently more practical than her own, Rodriguez, a hairdresser and mother of two from Michigan, despaired of being of any real use. Yet she soon found she had a gift for befriending Afghans, and once her profession became known she was eagerly sought out by Westerners desperate for a good haircut and by Afghan women, who have a long and proud tradition of running their own beauty salons. Thus an idea was born. With the help of corporate and international sponsors, the Kabul Beauty School welcomed its first class in 2003. Well meaning but sometimes brazen, Rodriguez stumbled through language barriers, overstepped cultural customs, and constantly juggled the challenges of a postwar nation even as she learned how to empower her students to become their families’ breadwinners by learning the fundamentals of coloring techniques, haircutting, and makeup. Yet within the small haven of the beauty school, the line between teacher and student quickly blurred as these vibrant women shared with Rodriguez their stories and their hearts: the newlywed who faked her virginity on her wedding night, the twelve-year-old bride sold into marriage to pay her family’s debts, the Taliban member’s wife who pursued her training despite her husband’s constant beatings. Through these and other stories, Rodriguez found the strength to leave her own unhealthy marriage and allow herself to love again, Afghan style. With warmth and humor, Rodriguez details the lushness of a seemingly desolate region and reveals the magnificence behind the burqa. Kabul Beauty School is a remarkable tale of an extraordinary community of women who come together and learn the arts of perms, friendship, and freedom.

H Lderlin Kleist And Nietzsche written by Stefan Zweig and has been published by Transaction Publishers this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2011 with Social Science categories.
This is the second volume in a trilogy in which Stefan Zweig builds a composite picture of the European mind through intellectual portraits selected from among its most representative and influential figures. In Hölderlin, Kleist, and Nietzsche, Zweig concentrates on three giants of German literature to portray the artist and thinker as a figure possessed by a powerful inner vision at odds with the materialism and scientific positivism of his time, in this case, the nineteenth century. Zweig's subjects here are respectively a lyric poet, a dramatist and writer of novellas, and a philosopher. Each led an unstable life ending in madness and/or suicide and not until the twentieth century did each make their full impact. Whereas the nineteenth-century novel is socially capacious in terms of subject and audience, the three figures treated here are prophets or forerunners of modernist ideas of alienation and exile. Hölderlin and Kleist consciously opposed the worldly harmoniousness of Goethe's classicism in favor of a visionary inwardness and dramatization of the subjective psyche. Nietzsche set himself as a destroyer and rebuilder of philosophy and critic of the degradation of the German spirit through nationalism and militarism. Zweig's choice of subjects reflects a division in his own soul. The image of Goethe recurs here as the ultimate upholder of Zweig's own ideals: scientist and artist, receptive to world culture, supremely rational and prudent. Yet Zweig was aware that Hölderlin, Kleist, and Nietzsche were more daring explorers of the dangerous and destructive aspects of man that needed to be seen and comprehended in the clarifying light of poetry and philosophy.
