Illustration for @foreignaffairsmag AD: Ed Johnson North Korea as It Is The Case for a Cold Peace Victor Cha May/June 2026 Published on April 21, 2026 In the early 1990s, even before North Korea had any nuclear bombs, the United States began to realize that it would be the world’s next nuclear threat. At the time, North Korea barely had enough fissile material to build one or two crude bombs. It lacked the delivery systems that would allow such weapons to reach the United States. And it would be well over 15 years before the regime would do its first nuclear test. Yet concerned government officials and observant journalists recognized that North Korea was intent on obtaining nuclear weapons and would likely become a source of regional instability.

Ilustración de portada para La Reina Esther de John Irving. Editado por @tusquetseditores , 2026 AD: Gloria García La reina Esther es una de las 50 recomendaciones de ‘Babelia’ para el Día del Libro de 2026 Una vida entera marcada por la Historia. John Irving regresa al mundo de Las normas de la casa de la sidra y al orfanato de St. Cloud’s. En 1908, en el estado de Maine, una noche muy fría y en medio de una intensa nevada, dejan a una niña de casi cuatro años en el porche del orfanato St. Cloud’s, que dirige el doctor Larch. La niña no llora; más bien, parece enfadada. La enfermera del orfanato que sale a buscarla ve cómo a lo lejos, en la oscuridad, se alejan dos mujeres. Casi diez años después, en St. Cloud’s siguen sin encontrar una familia de acogida para esa niña, llamada Esther. Precisamente por entonces, los Winslow, un matrimonio que vive en New Hampshire, deciden adoptar un hijo más, pero recorrerán varios orfanatos antes de decantarse por St. Cloud’s. Allí les cuentan la historia de Esther, quien será acogida por los Winslow y se convertirá en una especie de ángel de la guarda para su nueva familia. Su vida será una historia de supervivencia y una profunda exploración de la identidad y la pertenencia, y será testigo del impacto perdurable de la Historia en nuestras vidas. #JohnIrving #LareinaEsther #novedadesTusquets
