Burro Genio

Descriere: 6,De pie frente al p?blico, Victor Villase?or mir? al grupo de maestros sentados frente a ?l, y su mente se llen? de recuerdos de infancia llenos de humillaci?n y abuso por parte de sus profesores. Se sinti? enfurecer. Con el coraz?n en la mano, comenz? a hablar de esos abusos. Y cuando termin?, para su gran sorpresa, encontr? a todos los profesores de pie aplau-di?ndolo enf?ticamente. Muchas de las personas en el p?blico no lograban contener sus l?grimas. As? comienzan las conmovedoras y apasionadas memorias de Victor Villase?or. A pesar de ser muy talentoso e imaginativo desde muy ni?o, tuvo que vivir con una dificultad de aprendizaje (no fue sino hasta los 44 a?os de edad que fue diagnosticado con un caso grave de dislexia), y la frustraci?n de ser latino en una escuela americana en la que s?lo se hablaba ingl?s. A pesar de los profesores que lo maltrataban porque no pod?a hablar ingl?s, Villase?or se aferr? a su sue?o de un d?a convertirse en escritor. Hoy en d?a, es considerado uno de los autores m?s importantes de nuestra era.

A student at Plato's Academy, Phocion gained influence and power during a time when Athens faced multiple crises stemming from Macedonia's emergence as an international power under Philip II and his son Alexander the Great. Following Athens's defeat by Macedonia, Phocion unsuccessfully sought mild terms of surrender. Oligarchy was imposed on democratic Athens, and more than twelve thousand "undesirable" Athenians were exiled. When the oligarchic regime was overthrown and the exiles returned, dispossessed Athenians took out their volcanic anger on Phocion, who throughout his career had often been a harsh critic of the citizens' political decisions. His inflammatory rhetoric contributed to the popular conclusion that he lacked a genuine sense of belonging to the community he wished so desperately to preserve. When he was eighty-four, the ...
