337:"This was something unexpected for me". It was explained to him "that CEP needed to start a new phase with a new director". "When I returned to Chile after my studies abroad I wanted to contribute, as an intellectual, to the transition of my country from dictatorship to democracy. At CEP I found a place from where this was possible for me. I believe that CEP under my direction has been a meeting place, an institute were conversations have taken place, an institute devoted to analysis and discussions. CEP has been an independent academic institute, where people not only talk about freedom, but they experience freedom. CEP has not been in service of the right nor the center nor the left. Political Parties and their institutes perform that function. CEP has not been in service of the entrepreneurs either. Entrepreneurial associations perform that function. CEP has been in the service of Chile through its studies and seminars. The most visible example are CEP's polls but there are others" 910:"The first pages of La Vida Doble are so powerful, of such truly convulsive dramatic composition, that it seems almost impossible for the story to maintain the tension until the end. Nonetheless, the truth is that almost all the novel’s action scenes regain the electrifying atmosphere of the beginning, making the reader live through extraordinary suspense and emotion. . . . A novel that as a whole shows great ambition, a very serious documentary undertaking, and a great dexterity in structure and style. It should be read in one sitting, and one emerges from its pages quite shaken." 566:"they are situations or scenarios through which a person passes, leaving there his footprints, eyes, hair slowly falling backwards, a blink and the disturbing and mortal effect of that interruption, which interrupts the apparent stillness and anachronistic recollection of the scene and makes everything apparently innocent seem suspicious." When the book appeared, Ignacio Aguero recorded a video which gives an idea of how these poems should be spoken, using the voices of the actress Schlomit Baytelman and the author, with a commentary by the poet Diego Maquieira. 94: 877:"Lorena is... too malleable, and too intelligent; she is easily swayed and her clever and devious mind is ready with rationalizations every time. And yet she is the incarnation of the mostrous evil... The gap between that terrible fact and complexity of the woman seen in close-up is at the heart of this gripping novel. What makes one read on with wide-eye amazement is a sense of humility... I can think of novel which makes torture and abuse of human rights... seem more repugnant. But it does so in an original manner..." 658:, instead of consolidating his personality in the world, starts living through a process of losing his convictions or, to put it another way, begins to lose his traditional spiritual home and has to try and live in the inclemency of modern times. The narrative is in the first and third person, in the present and the past, forms which go on inserting themselves fluidly and often in the same paragraph. This type of mobile camera suggests that there are moments in the story when the life of the child 314:, the CEP became an intellectual centre of great academic prestige and influence. Of particular importance were its studies and proposals on subjects such as education, the environment, the reform of public administration, financing in politics, social and urban policies for Santiago, indigenous peoples and regulating telecommunications. The polls that they regularly carry out are the best sounding boards and the most credible of any in 441:"doesn’t pretend to give a neutral or bland account. The facts are presented from the perspective of human rights and the democracy that protects them. The great lesson to be learned is what it means to lose that democracy… the causes don’t excuse the later horrors and cruelty that… systematically violated the life, body and dignity of so many people. The State therefore became the sacrificial priest," wrote Fontaine. 1742: 22: 327:"Arturo Fontaine made of the CEP... an institution of high culture in which liberal theories inspired analysis, propositions (and) at the same time there were debates and meetings of intellectuals... of the most different persuasions... He created the most objective and reliable polls in Chile according to politicians of the whole political spectrum" 384:, based on the real story of a leftwing woman trained for the urban guerrilla warfare who was tortured and became a ferocious agent of the dictatorship, the seminars organized by CEP in which several experts questioned the credibility of the figures given by the government about poverty ( Casen poll) and then reached the news even outside Chile ( 702:. In spite of its intimate tone, the novel raises questions about the brazenness, dreams and contradictions of a traditional society on its way to modernization.

She expresses no remorse...And yet, tragically, there was innocence. ...Lorena was in many ways a literary romantic." 666:, does.
