Enseñar una lengua extranjera es siempre un desafío. Es mucho más fácil cuando a los estudiantes les encantan los materiales que se utilizan para enseñarles. No muchos libros están escritos por lectores jóvenes de secundaria. Esperamos que a sus estudiantes les guste aprender con estos libros bilingües.
Los seres humanos pocas veces estamos contentos con nuestra suerte, la mayoría quisiéramos tener una o mas vidas diferentes. Es en este sentido, que la literatura narrativa, nos da la oportunidad de recrearnos en la vida de otros individuos, reales o imaginados. En estos “9 Cuentos” de diversas temáticas, que Mario Ramón comparte, nos lleva como en los sueños: de un macro a un microcosmos, de un país a otro, utilizando libremente el manejo del tiempo; del presente al pasado y de este al futuro, igualmente de la vida a la muerte y de esta nuevamente a la vida. 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.
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 el verano de 1991, yo era una niña normal. Hacía cosas normales. Tenía amigos y una madre que me amaba. Era como tú. Hasta el día en que me robaron la vida.

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.
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

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...

Over 10,000 cases have been documented by professionals in the eld, which is hardly something that can be ignored.

Violencia de Género: Premisas Comprensivas y Prácticas para el Trabajo Social, es un manual cuyos capítulos constituyen un corpus de conocimiento ordenado, estructurado en función de una coherencia pedagógica, que pretende responder a las necesidades de ampliación y profundización del saber comprensivo y práctico. La narración se puede definir como prolija y suficiente en contenidos específicos, incluyendo una dimensión prioritaria escasamente abordada por la literatura científica del Trabajo Social, que es la Unión Europea, su acervo jurídico, sus instrumentos de intervención y sus instrumentos financieros, todos ellos concebidos para la construcción de políticas e intervenciones dirigidas a la reducción, erradicación y prevención de la violencia de género en todas sus manifestaciones. La violencia es una constante en la existencia y experiencia social, cultural y psicológica de los seres humanos. Resulta imposible percibir la dimensión de las consecuencias en dolor y sufrimiento. Sin embargo, los costes de la violencia en millones de euros o de dólares en asistencia sanitaria, en días laborables perdidos, en medidas e intervenciones para hacer cumplir...

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.
