¿A quién creer? ¿Cómo evitar caer en un juicio equivocado? Del autor de El niño 44, llega este impactante thriller psicológico. Apenas han pasado unas horas desde que la vida de Daniel ha sufrido un vuelco radical. Esa misma mañana, mientras regresaba a casa del supermercado, una llamada inquietante ha roto el hilo de sus pensamientos: Chris, su padre, le informa de que su madre ha sido ingresada en un sanatorio, presa de delirios. Antes siquiera de sobreponerse al impacto, otra llamada igualmente perturbadora estalla en sus oídos. Esta vez es la voz temblorosa de su madre, Tilde, asegurándole que Chris es un mentiroso, que ella no está loca, que ha salido del centro por su propio pie, pero que teme por su vida y se encuentra de camino a Londres para verlo y explicárselo todo. Así, en cuestión de horas, Daniel escuchará dos versiones opuestas de la crisis. Con una creciente sensación de horror, descubrirá que bajo la faz de una apacible vida de jubilados, la relación entre sus padres es de una tensión y una paranoia insoportables. Ante su asombro, surgen del pasado secretos familiares, incluso posibles crímenes, y un retrato aterrador de sus seres más queridos, ...

George Orwell, seudónimo de Eric Arthur Blair nació en Motihari, –una colonia británica de la India el 25 de junio de 1903– y falleció en Londres el 21 de enero de 1950. Fue un escritor y periodista, cuya obra lleva la marca de las experiencias vividas por el autor. Orwell es uno de los ensayistas en lengua inglesa más destacados del siglo XX, y más conocido por dos novelas críticas: Rebelión en la granja, y 1984, ficciones en las que describió un nuevo tipo de sociedad, controlada totalitariamente por métodos burocráticos y políticos. Ambas se enmarcan en el género de la literatura utópica o de sátira de las instituciones.

This project contributes to our understanding of rural Midwesterners and farm newspapers at the turn of the century. While cultural historians have mainly focused on readers in town and cities, it examines Midwestern farmers. It also contributes to the "new rural history" by exploring the ideas of Hal Barron and others that country people selectively adapted the advice given to them by reformers. Finally, it furthers our understanding of American farm newspapers themselves and offers suggestions on how to use them as sources.

Much has happened since agricultural economists and rural sociologists met at the University of Chicago in 1946 to discuss family farming. The problems and issues related to the structure of agriculture have been intensified by current economic considerations, which promote the growth of larger-scale commercial farming operations and edge out many smaller farms owned, operated, and worked by families. In this book, contributors from eleven nations in Europe and North America provide a comparison of farm structure under different economic and political systems, including Poland as an example of a non-market economy. In addition to providing information on how local, state, and international policies have affected the agricultural enterprise, they look at the role of farmers' organizations in policy formulation and take note of changes in farm patterns and policies that have had an impact on farm production, off-farm work, and the welfare of farm families and rural communities.

The study reported here is an analysis of changes in number and size of farms as related to technological advances in agriculture and growth of the economy generally.
