Un ensayo valiente sobre el origen de lo humano.

Todos somos crueles. En mayor o en menor medida, la crueldad habita en cada uno de nosotros. Disfrazada de las más diversas maneras, oculta detrás de distintos nombres, acecha desde el comienzo de los tiempos. Si los dioses fueron crueles, ¿qué nos queda a nosotros, simples mortales a merced de las tormentas de nuestra condición humana? ¿Hay salida de este laberinto?

Cynthia Wila decide hacer suyo el viaje al corazón de la noche, a ese lado brumoso de lo humano. El resultado de la travesía es un libro valiente, indispensable para entender no solo el porqué de las grandes tragedias de la historia, sino también las formas cotidianas que toma la crueldad en el presente de la mano de la tiranía de la belleza, la indiferencia, las nuevas tecnologías y el maltrato amoroso.

Con una fuerte influencia psicoanalítica y filosófica, sin dejar de lado el arte, el cine, la literatura y la música, La crueldad se nutre de lo mejor de la tradición ensayística para devolverle al mundo --a nosotros-- una melodía que lo haga algo más amable. Por eso, apela Wila, retomar ese vínculo casi olvidado entre ética y estética se hace hoy más necesario que nunca. Porque es restituirle valor a ese espacio entre el grito desesperado y el susurro lacerante en el que habita la palabra que calma. Es volver a mirarse a los ojos para reconocer en el otro --en nosotros-- ese universo infinito de luces, de sombras, que es, ni más ni menos, raíz y fruto de nuestro propio origen.

 

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

 

A courageous essay on the origin of the human condition.

 

We are all cruel. To a greater or lesser extent, cruelty resides in each of us. Disguised in diverse forms, hidden behind different names, it has lurked since the beginning of time. If the gods were cruel, what remains for us, mere mortals at the mercy of the storms of our human condition? Is there a way out of this labyrinth?

 

Cynthia Wila undertakes her own journey into the heart of the night, into that misty side of the human. The result is a bold book, indispensable for understanding not only the reasons behind history's great tragedies, but also the everyday forms cruelty takes today--through the tyranny of beauty, indifference, new technologies, and abusive love.

 

With a strong psychoanalytic and philosophical influence, while also drawing on art, cinema, literature, and music, La crueldad draws from the best of the essay tradition to return to the world--and to us--a melody that makes it a little more bearable. For this reason, Wila argues, reviving that nearly forgotten link between ethics and aesthetics is more necessary than ever. It means restoring value to that space between the desperate cry and the piercing whisper where the calming word resides. It means looking into each other's eyes again to recognize in the other--in ourselves--that infinite universe of light and shadow, which is, ultimately, the root and fruit of our own origin.

Amazing product
I got the engraved paw print necklace with my dogs name and it is great. My dog died a few days ago and I bought this to have him close to me and I am very happy with the size, chain length, adjustability, and the customization options. I got an alert less than 24 hours after my purchase saying it was shipped which I really appreciate how fast they got it customized and in the mail. It feels like great quality and I was shipped an added pair of metal stud earrings as an extra bonus. Because of that I knew I wanted to leave them a five star review. Thank you!

Misleading and not worth it
Gem Type: no gemstone, Item Display Length: 6.5 Inches
This bracelet is very misleading. It’s very very thin and is very delicate. You can barely see the charms. Definitely not worth the price I paid. Do not buy.

Beautiful bracelet very dainty!
Gem Type: no gemstone, Item Display Length: 6.5 Inches
Beautiful bracelet very dainty! In the picture the bracelet looks like it is a little thicker. In person it is very thin and dainty. If you have broken bracelets easy in the past I would not recommend. It is very beautiful on though!
