Rafael Osio Cabrices (46 results)

Paperback. Condition: New. Expert journalist and editor-in-chief of Caracas Chronicles Rafael Osío Cabrices offers a riveting, rigorous, and deeply personal account of the modern history of his country, from the rise of Chávez and the slow erosion of democracy, to the U.S. invasion and capture of Maduro.In this singular narrative of a country that often mystifies outsiders, Osío Cabrices brings to life the pivotal moments that led Venezuela to its current state of crisis-revealing the ways any healthy democracy can begin, imperceptibly, to cave in on itself. He grew up in a free, modern, oil-rich country, while much of Latin America lived under the shadow of brutal dictatorships, and witnessed as a young journalism student the economic crisis that led to the international perception of Caracas as a haven for organized crime. And he saw the devastatingly powerful false hope the election of Hugo Chávez brought to so many of his friends, before the slow creep of authoritarianism took over of every facet of the government and economy.Told through vivid scenes of his trips back to visit his father and other friends and relatives, after his decision to leave the country in the wake of the worsening shortages and crackdowns on press freedoms, Osío Cabrices's fascinating, on-the-ground account of Venezuela's contemporary history holds stark lessons for all of us.Twilight in Venezuela reads like an unforgettable conversation with a deeply informed friend, who dispels the myths and misinformation and reveals, as few can, what it feels like when History sneaks up behind you and turns your world upside down.…

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Venezuela es como una ballena que encalló en la playa rodeada de gente atónita. Nadie sabe cómo llegó ahí, pero todos quieren explicarnos las causas. ¿Qué le ocurrió a este país que durante mucho tiempo parecía ofrecer tanto? Rafael Osío Cabrices responde a esa pregunta desde tres perspectivas: la del periodista que presenció acontecimientos clave y tuvo acceso a sus protagonistas; la del migrante al que la distancia le deja ver su país con otros ojos; y la de un integrante de la última generación que vivió la democracia y creyó en sus promesas de futuro. Ante los interrogantes que deja esa lección de anatomía, Osío enciende la máquina del tiempo y recorre los huracanes que barrieron la ilusión petrolera y pusieron del revés las utopías. Tras la travesía, nos muestra lo que esperan los venezolanos del porvenir: la esperanza de construir algo nuevo con los vestigios de lo que nunca fue. El resultado se percibe como una inolvidable conversación, rica en matices, con un amigo bien informado que desmonta los mitos y te revela, como pocas veces, cómo se siente que la Historia se cuele por la ventana para revolver tu mundo. Rafael Osío Cabrices (Caracas, 1973) es editor y periodista. Ha publicado, entre otros, Apuntes bajo el aguacero: cien crónicas empantanadas (La Hoja del Norte, 2013), El horizonte encendido: viaje por la crisis de la democracia latinoamericana (Debate, 2006) y Salitre en el corazón: la vida cotidiana en la Cuba del siglo XXI (Debate, 2003). *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
