Remember that reading gives you education and culture. A part of these stories is true.

She once lived the most amazing childhood surrounded by nature and love in a place of freedom and happiness where all the children have the freedom to play together in a secure environment.

We, all the children of the community, walk together to the school with no fear; we walk in a safe environment. During 1980s, the country was having a social change. It was not safe anymore; I just looked at the chaos that was happening in our communities, with the families. The community was not safe anymore; what I saw was destruction and poverty, no job opportunities. I decided to migrate to the United States. I knew it would not be easy, but I took the risk of losing my life in the journey, by crossing the desert and getting on board of the train, The Beast, looking for my American dream.

We the Dreamers

Autor: Josefina Vázquez Mota

DREAMer: a young visionary, an undocumented immigrant, who wants to achieve the American Dream. 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 ...

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.

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

House of Houses

Autor: Pat Mora

Número de Páginas: 322

Combining poetic language and the traditions of magic realism to paint a vivid portrait of her family, Pat MoraÕs House of Houses is an unconventional memoir that reads as if every member, death notwithstanding, is in one room talking, laughing, and crying. In a salute to the Day of the Dead, the story begins with a visit to the cemetery in which all of her deceased relatives come alive to share stories of the family, literally bringing the food to their own funerals. From there the book covers a year in the life of her clan, revealing the personalities and events that Mora herself so desperately yearns to know and understand. ÒPoet MoraÕs complex and dramatic family history comprises more than personal reminiscences: it also embraces resonant aspects of Mexican American history. Mora recounts her familyÕs traumatic exodus from Mexico to escape the violence of Pancho Villa and his forces and their struggles to begin new lives in another country. To anchor her psychologically rich, dramatic, sometimes funny, often touching multigenerational tale, Mora uses the image of a houseÑthe house of housesÑduring a single year, a fruitful metaphor that allows her to dwell on the bright ...

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.

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.

Dead Men Flying

Autor: General Patrick Henry Brady , Meghan Brady Smith

Número de Páginas: 629

Viet Nam may be the only war we ever fought, or perhaps that was ever fought, in which the heroism of the American soldier was accompanied by humanitarianism unmatched in the annals of warfare. And the humanitarianism took place during the heat of the battle. The GI fixed as he fought, he cured and educated and built in the middle of the battle. He truly cared for, and about, those people. What other Army has ever done that? Humanitarianism was America's great victory in Viet Nam. Spearheading the humanitarian efforts were the air ambulance operations, call-sign Dust Off, the most dangerous of all aviation operations, which rescued some one million souls in Viet Nam. Dead Men Flying is the story of Charles Kelly, the father of Dust Off, who gave his life to save Dust Off—the greatest life-saver ever. His dying words—When I have your wounded—set the standard for combat medicine to this day. It is also the story of the author, Medal of Honor recipient General Patrick Brady, who learned from Charles Kelly and struggled to meet his standard. Brady led the 54th Medical Detachment as it rescued over twenty-one thousand wounded—enemy and friendly—in ten months, while sustaining ...

Frankenstein or, the modern Prometheus

Autor: Mary Shelley

Número de Páginas: 256

Disfruta de este clásico de Mary Shelley en versión original. Frankenstein o el moderno Prometeo, o simplemente Frankenstein (título original en inglés: Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus), es una obra literaria de la escritora inglesa Mary Shelley. Publicado el 1 de enero de 1818 y enmarcado en la tradición de la novela gótica, el texto habla de temas tales como la moral científica, la creación y destrucción de vida y el atrevimiento de la humanidad en su relación con Dios. De ahí, el subtítulo de la obra: el protagonista intenta rivalizar en poder con Dios, como una suerte de Prometeo moderno que arrebata el fuego sagrado de la vida a la divinidad. Aunque Frankenstein está impregnado de elementos de la novela gótica y el movimiento romántico, el escritor y editor de ciencia ficción Brian Aldiss ha argumentado que debería considerarse la primera historia verdadera de ciencia ficción.
