SO, go here for the full thing: I'm 'always' picking on Andre Breton's L'Amour Fou Mad Love as a weak example of descriptions of passion but it's been so long since I've read it that I'm really not so sure.

The Man of My Life , on the other hand, is about as exemplary a description of passion as I've ever read.. Both of them were staring at Carvalho, offering him or demanding from him an emotional response he did not feel. That means that for now I work here; tomorrow it could be somewhere else. It's in my blood. My grandfather on my father's side was killed by Franco's army; my grandmother had to go into exile with a sick husband and four kids.

When she came back, the Fascists in her village accused her of being a separatist, and made her life impossible. They killed her dogs. That was a village in what they call the "heartland of Catalonia", where four Fascists, with the help of the Civil Guard, could keep everyone under control. The Catalan language was banned, and you were in trouble if in your Spanish exams at the Balaguer Institute they detected any hints of a Catalan accent.

That was my father's experience. Do you get it, Carvalho? Franco was everywhere, but in Catalonia we had a double dose of him: Despite the restrictions, the actors usually managed to insert a few subversive jokes. How is your work as a private detective going? Globalization has hit us hard. The multinationals control all the private security business, and one-off detectives like me are seen as anthropological curiosities.

As the expression goes, the man does his homework: Apparently futuristic deals are on the cards, and the amounts at stake border on the infinite. Precision geo-economic engineering is at work. It all started when the son of one of the most powerful industrialists set up a sect so he could screw as many girls as he wanted, then Papa cut off his money because he didn't like the idea of him being the anti-pope and into sex. The father was Opus Dei, non-hairshirt faction.

All of a sudden the boy found himself showered with money, said to be from followers and sympathizers, but in fact from the Mata i Delapeu group. You know who they are, they're everywhere, and up to no good at all, if we apply the ten commandments of constructive capitalism to them. They're asset-strippers who've become multimillionaires. They buy failing companies after they have got rid of staff, then rationalise them or sell off what's left: Nice, clean business fun, don't you think?

So the idea makes sense for them. The death of a Lucifer's Witness, apparently in a ritual killing, puts the spotlight on the sect, and the identity of its leader means his father is involved too, and everything he represents. Soon, you mark my words, false accounts will appear — elections for the autonomous parliament are coming up this autumn, and there's a serious chance the nationalists may lose to the left, so any scandal would damage people high up in the autonomous government.

It represents the truth of man as animal" p Carvalho, the detective, goes to meet the mother of the murder victim, his client. A recurring theme in the Carvalho novels is Carvalho's culinary expertise: At the same time, he cooked onions, added some white wine, chopped boiled eggs, garlic, parsley and the walnuts, and adjusted the sauce with a splash of the cognac the truffles had been preserved in. You've been the man of my life in so many ways! Initially, Carvalho refers to the fax sender as the "Fax Cow", perhaps as a take-off of the expression "Cash Cow": Another regular character in the Carvalho stories is Biscuter, Carvalho's employee: I wanted to tell you that when I finish the course I'm taking on "Globalisation and Underdevelopment" I'm going to sign up for another one on the Cathars.

Besides, the Cathars bathed more often than other Christians, which meant they were cleaner, and you know what a fanatic I am for cleanliness. And they also hated killing animals; whenever they found one in a trap, they would open it, let the animal out, and pay the hunter compensation. What do you make of that? How to avoid looking like a guiri when in Spain.

If I have to wear a condom, it feel so distant I can't even get a hard-on. It's more frustrating than doing push-ups in a strait-jacket. And that there are two sorts of sects: This is not exactly a sect, more a club of friends and followers of Friedrich Hayek. His name will mean nothing to you, but he was one of the outstanding figures of the twentieth century, one of its most lucid ideologists and strategists.

In he got together a number of intellectuals and politicians in Mont Pelerin in Switzerland to draw up the guidelines for the rebuilding of capitalist pride in the face of the onslaught from communism and Keynesianism against the freedom of initiative, man's most precious freedom. Praelatura Sanctae Crucis et Operis Dei , is an institution of the Roman Catholic Church that teaches that everyone is called to holiness and that ordinary life is a path to sanctity. The mortification of the flesh practiced by some of its members is also criticized.

Hayek was, indeed, an economist about much can be read online: He made fundamental contributions in political theory, psychology, and economics. In a field in which the relevance of ideas often is eclipsed by expansions on an initial theory, many of his contributions are so remarkable that people still read them more than fifty years after they were written.

Many graduate economics students today, for example, study his articles from the s and s on economics and knowledge, deriving insights that some of their elders in the economics profession still do not totally understand. It would not be surprising if a substantial minority of economists still read and learn from his articles in the year Since he died in , 5 yrs before The Man of My Life has him get "together a number of intellectuals and politicians in Mont Pelerin in Switzerland to draw up the guidelines for the rebuilding of capitalist pride" that part is fictional.

Dalmatius had been hired to kill a particular individual, and had passed the job on to the other two, without knowing who their target was. None of them were listening: E sobre el nombre de Pepe Carvalho tiene como 1,5 millones de ejemplares vendidos.

L'aspetto di Pepe Carvalho in: L'uomo che sta invecchiando: Allo stesso tempo, un intrigo di sette e nazionalismi si sviluppa davanti ai tuoi occhi. Come spiegato dallo scrittore Vazquez Montalban: Ogni giorno vediamo che Benetton ha inventato un nuova religione per lanciare una linea di abiti nuovi. Prende posizioni lontane da tutto, ma prova simpatia per il nazionalismo oppresso. Indubbiamente, le vicende sono un simbolo della fase finale: E senza dubbio in questa finzione il personaggio Carvalho ha dimostrato di avere un mondo tutto suo.
