Número de Páginas: 226

En este libro, yo, Rosa, te llevo a través de mi vida, desde la niñez hasta la actualidad. Recuerdo personas, abusos y buenos momentos. Este libro comenzó como un diario.

In this book, I, Rosa, take you through my life, from childhood to the present. I recall times of struggle, abuse, and good memories. This book began as a journal, and because I wrote thoughts down as they came to me, not all parts are in sequential order. Names of people have been changed, but the story remains the same. My hope is that my story will touch someone’s heart and bring attention to issues of child, domestic, and animal abuse. This Was Our Childhood

We the Dreamers

Autor: Josefina Vázquez Mota

As of August 2016 it was estimated that some 35 million Mexicans were living in the United States, 23.5 million of whom were born in the United States and 11.5 million in Mexico. Of the latter, only 5 million are undocumented and of them, 1.3 million are considered DREAMers: young people who were taken to the United States by their parents when they were children, who grew up and were educated in this country, and who -because of their illegal status- face daunting obstacles to develop professionally. This, however, does not prevent them from dreaming. In We the DREAMers, Josefina Vázquez Mota explores the laws and statistics, and above all highlights the narratives and emotions behind the life stories of these DREAMers whose only objectiveis to fulfill their dreams. Their testimonies offer a kaleidoscope of viewpoints, pinpointing many obstacles. Nevertheless, they are voices of young people who have not given up; instead they have created or joined activist groups alongside many other people who, like them, just want to be heard and acknowledged. This volume introduces you to some of ...

Unicorns

Autor: Christian Garavito

Número de Páginas: 200

A young man finally comes of age after a journey at once holy and intensely profane. These (literally) pointless verses are a scattered confession of the overwhelming feelings of an angel waiting to be a demon wanting to be an angel again.The quest begins with a bitter heartbreak but then precipitates into a photograph cascade. Recollections of abuse, debauchery, tenderness, envy, ecstatic pleasure and unbearable yet ordinary pain, all vivid and fleeting, like the evaporating fumes of a hit of poppers.This boy is ultimately liberated into the creature that he is, both proud and bewildered by his own nature. A nature all too familiar to the altar boys of Sodom and sin.

JUST THE WAY IT WAS

Autor: Mario Ignacio Zunzunegui

Número de Páginas: 284

This book is a simple and humble gift, a present, a legacy of past life and love. It is a tale of many joys, laughs, and even laughter, as well as tears that sometimes came to be shed. It is a small present without any monetary or significant value of any commercial interest. Nevertheless, it is very exclusive because only the author can make this gift, because within the gift there are many experiences and anecdotes of a lifetime that only he is aware of. It is a gift that may one day be useful to dad or mom, when their son or daughter asks you to tell a story. Well, finally in decades to come, this dusty and forgotten old gift might have served for something useful. At the request of my great friend Mario Ignacio Zunzunegui, I allow myself to review his book where he captures his memoir with absolute reality. We first met many years ago through the sport of rock and high mountain climbing in Mexico City. I wish to testify that Mario recounts with absolute veracity events in his book and in which he cites me as an active participant. I congratulate Mario for his excellent memory in recounting those events in which he names my sister, Yoselinda, and me. We planned a trip to climb...

La Universidad, como el dios Jano, presenta dos caras de un único rostro: una mira hacia la investigación e innovación (sean de naturaleza formal, de contenidos o ambos) y la otra hacia los discentes a quienes transmite los logros hallados en unas aulas cada vez más tecnologizadas. Queda claro, por tanto, que la investigación y la docencia son nucleares en la misión de la Academia y en su visión destaca la mejora de la sociedad de la que se nutre y a la que sirve. En esta ecuación binómica tenemos que añadir indefectiblemente el elemento de la divulgación de estos nuevos contenidos y estructuras, de manera que libros como el presente, junto con los demás que conforman la colección Estudios Aranzadi especializada en Ciencias Sociales y Ates y Humanidades así como de su Docencia, suponen el último jalón en el que la Universidad muestra ante todos, expertos y público general, su labor especializada. Los capítulos que conforman el presente título, incluidos en la colección Estudios Aranzadi, han superado el imprescindible requisito que certifica la calidad científica de los resultados plasmados: el de la doble revisión por pares ciegos (peer review) lo que...

Añorando a Mi Colombia

Autor: Ligia Chirivi Giraldo

Número de Páginas: 270

La razón y la intención por la cual hice este libro fue recoger todos mis “escritos” repartidos en los festivales colombianos, un pedido de algunos de mis paisanos; también, recordar aquellos refranes de los abuelos, frases de canciones, pero lo más importante, no olvidar nuestra cultura. Año tras año, desde que llegué a Los Ángeles con mi esposo, hijos e hijas, fui mostrando mi añoranza por Colombia, y todos sus “achaques” que le ha quejaban. Me sentía impotente al no poder siquiera, “rezongar” cuando desprestigiaban mi patria. Es por esto que, en un inglés con barreras muy altas, grité: I am Proud to be Colombian! Cada “escrito” es una lágrima derramada con mucha nostalgia, que se ha vuelto un huevo, ¡Sí!, un huevo de Cóndor, que necesita, incubación, ser leído, para que, ya convertido en un pichón, comience a volar despacio hasta alcanzar la altura de sus ancestros.

I hope these stories reach your hearts and I also hope they like you. I want you enjoy them so much that you want to read them all... and other stories more.

Lila´s sorrows

Autor: José Prats Sariol

Número de Páginas: 332

Lila is a simply unforgettable adventure. The past is evoked with affection and authentic compassion, at times infused with a little bit of humor […] It is not easy, and much less common, to find a text that is so balanced yet moving at the same time. The story has a profound impact without indulging in melodrama. In her letters, the main character holds on to her memories like a shipwreck survivor clings to hope. Prats Sariol has given us an epistolary novel and a crime novel all in one. The murder mystery is not solved until the very end; it is only in the last line that we find out how Lila and her good friend and accomplice in life, Virginia, died. This is something that only the best novels achieve without resorting to false trickery. The present is taken one day at a time, without asking for too much: being grateful is a virtue. The future, on the other hand, is revealed in conjunction with each reunion, especially the one with the beloved Valerio, late at night, somewhere in Europe. But I will say no more; read for yourself and enjoy. In Lila’s words: “I’ve just registered my exile. Tomorrow, in some corner, another foreigner will wave his handkerchief.” Eliseo...

Algunas ideas buenísimas que el mundo se va a perder

Autor: Alberto Olmos

Número de Páginas: 304

La primera novela de la era de internet. Aviso de lectura Esta es una novela-collage escrita a partir de textos encontrados en internet que recoge cuatro voces protagonistas: un camarero, una estudiante universitaria, una ingeniero y una emigrante mexicana en París. Su propuesta es la de llevar al papel un mundo fascinante, nuevo e involuntariamente literario, y mostrar nuevas formas de expresión como el mailing, la Wikipedia, el spam o los mensajes robotizados. Entre sus temáticas más notables pueden encontrarse el sexo, la cultura pop, la provocación y la rebelión. Este es el mundo de ahora; esta nueva forma de comunicación existe. «Algunas ideas buenísimas que el mundo se va a perder es una obra colectiva fruto de una impresión personal: en Internet hay mucho porno y mucha libertad, porque quizá la libertad es la pornografía del pensamiento. Esta impresión me llevó a soñar con un libro que recogiera un puñado de voces sin excesiva ambición literaria pero, quizá por eso, cargadas de honestidad. Lo literario, muchas veces, está en el papel donde se imprime.» A. O.
