The Girondins of Chile tells of the strong influence that the European revolutions of 1848 had in Chile, and how they motivated a young Santiago society with high cultural aspirations but little political knowledge or direction. Benjamin Vicu?a Mackenna, a Chilean writer and historian who lived during those days in Santiago, relates the events of the time, events in which he was a participant. He pays special attention to how the 1848 revolutions influenced a group of young liberals he called "Chilean Girondins." When news of the fall of Philippe d''Orl?ans and the installation of the Second Republic arrived, there was an explosion of jubilation in Santiago. Now there were no barriers to ideas, "much less to the generous ideas proclaimed by the sincere people of France." But when a proletarian revolution took place in France in June, Chilean public opinion became virulently anti-revolutionary. Except, of course, among the liberal youth, the Chilean Girondins, who were headed towards revolution--and sooner than anyone thought. When revolution came in 1851, Vicu?a Mackenna found himself sentenced to death for taking part in the uprising. After escaping and spending some years in exile, he was able to return in 1855. He remained active in politics, yet his account of what happened in the 1851-52 revolution was not published until 1876.

¿Jaime Guzmán fue un hombre malo o bueno? ¿Incomprendido o perverso? ¿Un Maquiavelo chileno o un simple intrigante doméstico? ¿Hasta qué punto su personalidad fue moldeada por un padre ausente y una madre autoritaria? ¿Cómo se relacionaba con las mujeres? ¿En qué radicaba su carisma entre los jóvenes universitarios? ¿Creía en la democracia o era solo un representante de los ideales aristocráticos de su clase? ¿Era un autoritario sin remedio? ¿Aceptaba la violación de los Derechos Humanos? ¿Buscó en Pinochet una figura tutelar? ¿Es cierto que Lucía Hiriart lo despreciaba y que Manuel Contreras era su enemigo declarado? ¿Era un hombre ambicioso? ¿Fue el intelectual que el mito ha construido o simplemente un hombre con metas claras y sin escrúpulos?Crisitán Gazmuri indaga en estas preguntas y, a través de los testimonios de personas cercanas y de sus propias experiencias, construye un mosaico que nos revela aspectos desconocidos de la personalidad de Jaime Guzmán. Un acercamiento poco convencional a un personaje que, más allá del bien y del mal, marcó para siempre la historia política chilena.

Bajo la premisa de que este libro no es apto para los depresivos, el historiador Cristián Gazmuri nos presenta una selección de cuentos que abordan las vivencias y dilemas de personajes que sobrellevan el desánimo o la depresión.Un descarnado acercamiento, desde la literatura, a la llamada «enfermedad de la época» y a un grupo de personas que, en palabras del autor, conviven en una marginalidad, aquella que es otorgada por enfrentarse a situaciones existenciales límites y por ver su propia existencia desde una profunda tristeza.En la recopilación es posible encontrar cuentos de Oscar Wilde, Edgar Allan Poe, Franz Kafka y Nikolái Gógol, entre otros.
