Lazarillo de Tormes: Conforme Á La Edición De 1554... (Norton Critical Editions Ser. #0)
by AnónimoSuplico a Vuestra Merced reciba el pobre servicio de mano de quien lo hiciera más rico, si su poder y deseo se conformaran. Y pues Vuestra Merced escribe se le escriba y relate el caso muy por extenso, parescióme no tomalle por el medio, sino del principio, porque se tenga entera noticia de mi persona; y también porque consideren los que heredaron nobles estados cuán poco se les debe, pues Fortuna fue con ellos parcial, y cuánto más hicieron los que, siéndoles contraria, con fuerza y maña remando, salieron a buen puerto. Pues sepa Vuestra Merced, ante todas cosas, que a mi llaman Lázaro de Tormes En los dos mil años de la literatura occidental no se había escrito otro libro como ese Lazarillo que al mediar el Quinientos llegaba a las manos de los españoles (y pronto de todos los europeos), porque posiblemente ninguno había tratado nunca antes a un personaje de la pobre categoría de Lázaro con una atención tan amplia y tan extremada, tan respetuosa con el punto de vista que un pregonero en sus condiciones podría haber tenido de sí mismo, y tan centrada en la materialidad y en las minucias cotidianas de la existencia.[] Nos consta que no se conocía ninguna otra narración en prosa con las singulares características, con el insólito y ambiguo modo de ser del Lazarillo de Tormes. Porque el tal libro ¿era historia o era ficción? [] De ahí que al verdadero autor no se le pasara por la cabeza revelarnos su nombre, que sigue ocultándosenos, y es de temer que sin remedio. Porque, en rigor, el Lazarillo no es tanto un libro anónimo, de pluma ignorada, como más propiamente un libro apócrifo, atribuido a un falso autor, el propio protagonista, Lázaro de Tormes.

Learning From the Octopus: How Secrets from Nature Can Help Us Fight Terrorist Attacks, Natural Disasters, and Disease
by Rafe SagarinDespite the billions of dollars we've poured into foreign wars, homeland security, and disaster response, we are fundamentally no better prepared for the next terrorist attack or unprecedented flood than we were in 2001. Our response to catastrophe remains unchanged: add another step to airport security, another meter to the levee wall. This approach has proved totally ineffective: reacting to past threats and trying to predict future risks will only waste resources in our increasingly unpredictable world. In Learning from the Octopus, ecologist and security expert Rafe Sagarin rethinks the seemingly intractable problem of security by drawing inspiration from a surprising source: nature. Biological organisms have been living--and thriving--on a risk-filled planet for billions of years. Remarkably, they have done it without planning, predicting, or trying to perfect their responses to complex threats. Rather, they simply adapt to solve the challenges they continually face. Military leaders, public health officials, and business professionals would all like to be more adaptable, but few have figured out how. Sagarinargues that we can learn from observing how nature is organized, how organisms learn, how they create partnerships, and how life continually diversifies on this unpredictable planet. As soon as we dip our toes into a cold Pacific tidepool and watch what we thought was a rock turn into an octopus, jetting away in a cloud of ink, we can begin to see the how human adaptability can mimic natural adaptation. The same mechanisms that enabled the octopus's escape also allow our immune system to ward off new infectious diseases, helped soldiers in Iraq to recognize the threat of IEDs, and aided Google in developing faster ways to detect flu outbreaks. While we will never be able to predict the next earthquake, terrorist attack, or market fluctuation, nature can guide us in developing security systems that are not purely reactive but proactive, holistic, and adaptable. From the tidepools of Monterey to the mountains of Kazakhstan, Sagarin takes us on an eye-opening tour of the security challenges we face, and shows us how we might learn to respond more effectively to the unknown threats lurking in our future.
