Twenty-four weeks ago: Neon's dad insists on talking to him about tenderness and intimacy. Neon and Aria are definitely in love, and while they haven't taken that next big step...yet, they've starting talking about...that. Twenty-four days ago: Neon's mom finds her-- gulp --bra in his room. Hey! No judging! Those hook thingies are complicated! So he'd figured he'd better practice, what with the big day only a month away. Twenty-four minutes ago: Neon leaves his shift at work at his dad's bingo hall, making sure to bring some chicken tenders for Aria. They're not candlelight and they definitely aren't caviar, but they are her favorite. And right this second? Neon is locked in Aria's bathroom, completely freaking out because twenty-four seconds from now he and Aria are about to...about to... Well, they won't do anything if he can't get out of his own head (all the advice, insecurities, and what ifs) and out of this bathroom!"--

Así es la dictadura

Equipo Plantel


"Este libro se hizo por primera vez en 1977. Acababa de morir el dictador Franco y el país iniciaba un camino de cambios democráticos del que podemos decir que no llevamos recorrido más que un pequeño trecho, y por el que es preciso seguir avanzando. Si viviéramos en una dictadura seguramente no sería posible un libro como este, que quizá leamos con una sonrisa. Sin embargo, no hay que confiarse: la dictadura sigue siendo hoy una forma de gobierno presente en muchos países, mientras que otros, que se dicen democráticos, reproducen sin sonrojo muchas características de los gobiernos totalitarios: existe un alto nivel de corrupción, no se respetan los derechos humanos, las leyes se hacen de espaldas a los ciudadanos y los que mandan no dan nunca las suficientes explicaciones." -- Publisher.
