My Father Envies Me (English and Spanish Version)

Autor: Mayke R.

Número de Páginas: 212

My dad envies me. I've been an orphan since I was eight months old. Unfortunately, I was mistreated by a bad and envious father, and my whole life has been a torment with him. I will describe, in this book, my father as the person who has done the most harm to me throughout my life, for I have never encountered another person like him. Throughout my life, he has sabotaged my achievements, put me wrong with all the family and friends, and never wanted me to get ahead because he feels less than me. Of course, I have forgiven him for all the evil he has done to me, and I ask God to give him good things despite all the damage he has done to me and even though he has never asked me for an apology. I hope that no one will suffer what I have suffered and that there are no more other fathers like him.

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 ...

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...

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...

Divine Intervention is the story of a humble person who was born in El Salvador, being the fourth daughter of nine brothers and sisters. 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. During school time, I had a wonderful experience in learning in my humble public school. 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.

Invisible

Autor: Rodolfo H. Farías

Número de Páginas: 282

«Rodolfo Farías es un escritor extraño y ha escrito una novela inquietante. Según Harold Bloom, los escritores que producen una sensación de extrañeza en el lector son los más interesantes y originales. La prosa no es lo menos interesante de este relato alucinante. Es, de cierto, una prosa barroca llena de palabras exactas, anacronismos y coloquiales. Lo más interesante es que está llena de sutilezas de invención variada. Está llena de silencios que se oyen. Estos silencios son acaso los del desierto. En realidad, y no sé de lo que se trata este libro, pero en sus páginas extraordinarias se advierte el desierto, el frío, el sol, el deseo, el amor, la muerte la vejez, la enfermedad, el desamparo ontológico, el descubrimiento feliz. Rodolfo Farías ha escrito una novela que deleita, pero sobre todo perturba». Bruno Estañol
