Una novela del Premio Nobel de Literatura Mario Vargas Llosa, en la que dos hombres puestos a prueba por la vida descubren el verdadero sentido del coraje y la lealtad Uno de los mejores libros de 2013 según Babelia y El Cultural de El Mundo El héroe discreto narra la historia paralela de dos personajes: el ordenado y entrañable Felícito Yanaqué, un pequeño empresario de Piura, que es extorsionado; y de Ismael Carrera, un exitoso hombre de negocios, dueño de una aseguradora en Lima, quien urde una sorpresiva venganza contra sus dos hijos holgazanes que quisieron verlo muerto. Ambos personajes son, a su modo, discretos rebeldes que intentan hacerse cargo de sus propios destinos, pues tanto Ismael como Felícito le echan un pulso al curso de los acontecimientos. Mientras Ismael desafía todas las convenciones de su clase, Felícito se aferra a unas pocas máximas para sentar cara al chantaje. No son justicieros, pero están por encima de las mezquindades de su entorno para vivir según sus ideales y deseos. Viejos conocidos del mundo vargasllosiano aparecen en estas páginas: el sargento Lituma y los inconquistables, don Rigoberto, doña Lucrecia y Fonchito, todos moviéndose ahora en un Perú muy próspero. Un libro lleno de humor, con elementos propios del melodrama, donde Piura y Lima ya no son espacios físicos, sino reinos de la imaginación poblados por los personajes del gran escritor que es Mario Vargas Llosa. La crítica ha dicho... 'La escritura de Mario Vargas Llosa ha dado forma a nuestra imagen de Sudamérica y tiene su propio capítulo en la historia de la literatura contemporánea. En sus primeros años, fue un renovador de la novela, hoy, un poeta épico. Su gran abrazo envuelve todos los géneros literarios.' Per Wästberg, Presidente del Comité Nobel Miembro de la Academia Sueca 'Pocos laberintos tan amenos y tan razonables como esta novela de Vargas Llosa.' José-Carlos Mainer, Babelia (El País) 'Estas páginas dan cuenta de la manera extraordinaria en que Mario Vargas Llosa domina los misterios de la ficción y el arte de la novela, con un final tan sorprendente como maravilloso por inesperado.' Fernando R. Lafuente, ABC Cultural (ABC) 'Con El héroe discreto gozamos de la maestría a la que nos tiene acostumbrados el mejor Vargas Llosa.' J. A. Masoliver Ródenas, Cultura/s (La Vanguardia) 'Toda su obra (la periodística y la literaria, incluidos sus ensayos aquí) está marcada por la búsqueda, en los recovecos del alma y del poder, de aquellos elementos que hacen malvadas o excelsas a las personas.' Juan Cruz

Dry mouth is miserable.
Size: 27 Count (Pack of 1)
The mouth lozenges for dry mouth were excellent at first, but I have dry mouth all day, and they started upsetting my stomach. I guess I was taking too many. Since I switched to the spry, I don't have a problem. I keep the a small bottle of the spray in my pocketbook, because I need it sporadically. It is probably different with each individual.

Powerful and eye-opening
Format: Paperback
A therapist on TikTok recommended this (thank you Kendyl!) and it is easily the most important book I've purchased in years. It pulls together the threads of otherwise "unimportant" early life events and helps to piece together a clearer picture of how those shape our thoughts, feelings, and behavior as adults. It's written for clinicians but would be helpful for a curious client who understands the basics of "parts" work and wants to use this as a resource in conjunction with therapy.

Amazing
Format: Paperback
It’s very academic—what I mean by that is that if you need to be well-educated in psychology to GRASP *everything*… I am not well-educated in psychology (I minored in it and love reading easier books on it), but I LOVE this book. This woman is brilliant

Started w/ audiobook, now I'm ordering the print too
Format: Paperback
This book is GREAT!! The integration of theory she uses to support her claims is masterful. I began listening to the audiobook, because it was cheaper & I go through a ton of counseling & psych books. I am a grad student in social work, and I'm also a therapy client trying to heal myself. I appreciate that this book targets "chronic shame" which as a central experience to a bunch of issues. The hundreds of books and articles I've researched seem like they were mostly ALL working back to this issue. In a psychology culture that is big on cognitive and chemical solutions to mental health, the relational approach that she emphasizes is critical to the healing process. I appreciate the research she uses from object relations, affect regulation, interpersonal, etc. I purchased the hard copy because 1. I can't underline/highlight an audiobook and 2. I want a copy of the references of theorists and study's that she draws from, because they are pure gold. All therapists need to understand the contents of this book! Unless you are perfectly fine offering band aid solutions. Clients and self-helpers beware. It's not triggering in terms of content, it is activating in the sense that she describes the felt experience of shame SO WELL. I could locate my own felt sense of shame which is, by default, unpleasant. Some stabilization and a decent therapeutic connection is probably necessary before cracking this book open. But that's why I love it. I needed to go deeper and get the core issues. And this book is like a map that guides you right to it.
