Beyond Intensity

Autor: Ramon Vila

After years of traveling the world, searching for all life has to offer, Toni Martí realizes that his youthful curiosity has soured into stagnation, depression, and drug addiction. While stumbling through what remains of his life, he commits a crime and is sentenced to community service at a nursing home. Forced to comply, he forms a grudging relationship with Juan, an octogenarian whose family long ago abandoned him, and whose day-to-day life seems undisturbed by change. He also encounters Lucía, who runs the nursing home, but not her life; too fearful to follow the lure of her dreams or rebel against her parents, she has grown dull and unhappy. “Beyond Intensity” captures the story of three characters trapped in lives that bring them only loneliness and despair. Soon, they will be forced to discover what is beyond the pursuit of momentary pleasure, beyond routine, beyond conformity. Against the backdrop of a dehumanized society, these three characters’ lives give us the opportunity to reflect on the culture of immediacy and the search for instant gratification—to ask ourselves, what lies beyond intensity?

Un pas de deux, un pas de dieu

Autor: Christine Jensen Hogan

Número de Páginas: 168

Thomas Merton, monje católico y escritor del siglo XX, y Anne Bradstreet, una de las primeras poetas puritanas que publicaron en Nueva Inglaterra, se encuentran en Gethsemani, abadía de Kentucky donde Merton vivió la mitad de su vida, seis meses después la muerte de este último, en concreto, el día de la publicación de su novela ‘My Argument with the Gestapo’. El interés de Merton por su libro, una profunda declaración contra la guerra, será un tema recurrente a lo largo de la obra. El diálogo arranca cuando, al recitar una parte de su poema “Contemplations”, Anne Bradstreet interrumpe la soledad de Merton, para su consternación. Ella se ha perdido mientras buscaba su hogar y está asustada por ese monasterio “papista” que ha encontrado. La pieza, salpicada de la poesía de cada uno de los escritores, pasa de la preocupación por las apariencias externas (a Merton no le gustaban los puritanos y Bradstreet temía a los católicos), que son tan diferentes, a sus vidas interiores, que son muy similares. Se dan cuenta de que posiblemente estén en el purgatorio e intercambian pensamientos sobre la salvación y Dios, la Iglesia, el papel de la mujer, de la...

Autor: Teresita Luévano

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. Yo anoté pensamientos que vinieron a mi mente. No todas las piezas están en orden secuencial y los nombres de personas han sido cambiados, pero la historia es la misma. Mi esperanza es que mi historia toque el corazón de personas y paren la violencia doméstica, y los abusos de niños y animales. Así Fue Nuestra Niñez Extraordinary, Riveting, Inspirational... 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

Cuentos que se acercan y se alejan de la historicidad, para entrar en el mundo de los mitos, de la magia, de la imaginación y de los sueños. Mario R. Meneses. R., (1942) es asiduo asistente a las citas del “jueves por las tardes en la Librería Gandhi” para junto con el grupo de lectura, tener un acercamiento a las grandes obras de la literatura universal.

Cartucho and My Mother's Hands

Autor: Nellie Campobello

Número de Páginas: 144

Nellie Campobello, a prominent Mexican writer and "novelist of the Revolution," played an important role in Mexico's cultural renaissance in the 1920s and early 1930s, along with such writers as Rafael Muñoz and Gregorio López y Fuentes and artists Diego Rivera, Orozco, and others. Her two novellas, Cartucho (first published in 1931) and My Mother's Hands (first published as Las manos de Mamá in 1938), are autobiographical evocations of a childhood spent amidst the violence and turmoil of the Revolution in Mexico. Campobello's memories of the Revolution in the north of Mexico, where Pancho Villa was a popular hero and a personal friend of her family, show not only the stark realism of Cartucho but also the tender lyricism of My Mother's Hands. They are noteworthy, too, as a first-person account of the female experience in the early years of the Mexican Revolution and unique in their presentation of events from a child's perspective.

La Morenita

Autor: Guadalupe Cordoba

Número de Páginas: 148

Success-it's something everyone hopes for but few have the fortitude and endurance necessary to achieve it, especially when confronted by one adversity after another. Lupe Cordoba knows that hard work and determination are the traits necessary to achieve success, and she used these strong personal qualities to rise to her position as a nationally acclaimed restaurateur. Cordoba seemed to encounter nothing but hardships and obstacles throughout her life, and in La Morenita: The Story of Lupe Cordoba, she candidly illustrates how her life developed from an idyllic childhood in a small Mexican town to the collapse of her marriage after succeeding in reaching America with her three small children. Perseverance and clever thinking carried Cordoba from the plight of sleeping in her car to opening her first restaurant to preparing hors d'oeuvres for a party for President Clinton. While conveying her talent for balancing romance, motherhood, and business in her life, Cordoba offers frank advice for others in her position and presents intimate portraits of her family and friends and the lives they endured to reach their current plateau. La Morenita delivers the compelling story of one...

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...

Palabras de Los Seres Verdaderos

Autor: Carlos Montemayor

Número de Páginas: 304

As part of the larger, ongoing movement throughout Latin America to reclaim non-Hispanic cultural heritages and identities, indigenous writers in Mexico are reappropriating the written word in their ancestral tongues and in Spanish. As a result, the long-marginalized, innermost feelings, needs, and worldviews of Mexico's ten to twenty million indigenous peoples are now being widely revealed to the Western societies with which these peoples coexist. To contribute to this process and serve as a bridge of intercultural communication and understanding, this groundbreaking, three-volume anthology gathers works by the leading generation of writers in thirteen Mexican indigenous languages: Nahuatl, Maya, Tzotzil, Tzeltal, Tojolabal, Tabasco Chontal, Purepecha, Sierra Zapoteco, Isthmus Zapoteco, Mazateco, Ñahñu, Totonaco, and Huichol. Volume Three contains plays by six Mexican indigenous writers. Their plays appear first in their native language, followed by English and Spanish translations. Montemayor and Frischmann have abundantly annotated the Spanish, English, and indigenous-language texts and added glossaries and essays that introduce the work of each playwright and discuss the...

Spain, Take This Chalice from Me and Other Poems

Autor: Cesar Vallejo

Número de Páginas: 352

A major new bilingual edition of the Peruvian poet's work Cesar Vallejo is one of the best-known Latin American poets of the twentieth century. Challenging, intense, and difficult to translate, Vallejo's work has often been overshadowed by his fervent endorsement of communism. Noted scholar Ilan Stavans tackles the avant- garde poet's politics head-on in an enlightening new introduction that places Vallejo in his proper literary context, while Margaret Sayers Peden's new translation does full justice to Vallejo's complex literary style. Including Spanish and English versions of more than eighty poems that span the arc of his career, this volume is certain to become the leading collection of Vallejo's work for years to come. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.

Dudosa Certidumbre

Autor: Catalina Martínez Estévez

Número de Páginas: 90

La duda es una cualidad humana en la que poco reparamos, y que muchas veces ni siquiera consideramos en la asuncin y percepcin de lo que nos rodea. Lo tangible simplemente existe, aunque slo sea aparentemente. Lo intangible, nuestros sueos, nuestros sentimientos, aparecen como sumergidos, distantes, borrosos, irreales. La Dudosa Certidumbre rompe con esta engaosa rutina. A travs de las diferentes historias que componen esta obra, el lector se sentir atrapado en un mundo que considera imaginado y cuya existencia se le manifestar sorpresivamente bajo un concepto diferente al que ste haba pensado. La existencia de la verdad es remplazada por la certeza de lo incierto. La autora nos enfrenta a esta paradoja que unifica la estructura de cada una de estas breves y fuertemente introspectivas ancdotas.
