Autor: Alice Wasser

Número de Páginas: 308

Millie Glockenfeld will never fall in love. She will never get engaged. She will never get married. She will never live in a house with a white picket fence and 2.4 children. And all for one very simple reason: She is ugly. Fortunately, one thing Millie has learned over the years is that she doesn't need a man. She's got a good job, a loyal best friend, and a crazy but lovable cat lady who lives downstairs from her. What more does a girl need in life? But then one day Millie meets Sam Webber. He is adorably handsome and absolutely perfect (well, almost). And Sam thinks that Millie is beautiful. Now there's a chance that Millie might get the happy ending she's always secretly wanted... if only she can learn to look in the mirror and see what Sam sees.

Número de Páginas: 264

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. 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. Like many immigrants who leave their loved ones to give them a better future, I also left my eighteen-month-old baby. I went through this pain that is hard to explain, and only the...

Dead Men Flying

Autor: General Patrick Henry Brady , Meghan Brady Smith

Número de Páginas: 304

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 ...

Voices of Change in the Spanish American Theater

Autor: William I. Oliver

Número de Páginas: 313

The aim of this anthology is to present a selection of plays that are representative of a fresh spirit and of societal pressures and changes in Spanish American culture. The plays shun the earlier realistic, sentimental, and melodramatic conventions of Spanish American theater. Instead, they reflect the tenor of the dramatic imagination of the mid-to-late twentieth century—an imagination that sought new forms and ways of expressing a new awareness of the Spanish American dilemma. In selecting these plays, William I. Oliver looked for more than mere illustrations of these changes. As a practicing director and playwright, he sought works that are effective on the stage as well as on the page. As an editor and translator, he sought works “that could be translated culturally as well as linguistically.” The six plays in this varied and vigorous anthology are the measure of his success. The plays included are The Day They Let the Lions Loose, by Emilio Carballido (Mexico); The Camp, by Griselda Gambaro (Argentina); The Library, by Carlos Maggi (Uruguay); In the Right Hand of God the Father, by Enrique Buenaventura (Colombia); The Mulatto’s Orgy, by Luisa Josefina Hernández...

Hasta dónde llega la luz

Autor: Sabrina Imbler

Número de Páginas: 123

A través de una narración que combina ingeniosamente el periodismo científico y la escritura personal, Sabrina Imbler se sumerge en las zonas más profundas del océano para indagar sobre el significado existencial de lo vivido y la conformación de su propia identidad. Las historias de diez criaturas del mar se funden eficazmente con un correlato biográfico que va iluminando los temas cardinales que Imbler somete a escrutinio con la misma meticulosidad naturalista y diáfana con que observa el mundo submarino: la infancia, las relaciones amorosas, la sexualidad fluida, el mestizaje racial o el sentido de comunidad. De esta forma, un pulpo que va muriendo de hambre lentamente solo para proteger a sus huevos le da pie a Imbler para informarnos sobre sus malos hábitos de alimentación y la visión dismórfica que su madre tiene de su propio cuerpo, o bien el poder metamórfico que las sepias marinas despliegan para burlar a sus depredadores le permite narrar sus propios cambios y adaptaciones como miembro de minorías. Sin pretender aleccionarnos, Hasta dónde llega la luz es un libro fascinante y honesto que nos invita a reconsiderar los límites de nuestra propia naturaleza....

La carta de Joan Anderson

Autor: Neal Cassady

Número de Páginas: 126

La carta que Neal Cassady le escribió a Jack Kerouac e inspiró el estilo de En el camino. El 17 de diciembre de 1950 Neal Cassady escribió a Jack Kerouac una carta que impresionó a este hasta el punto de modificar su estilo narrativo. Cassady le cuenta en ella la aventura que había tenido cinco años antes con una muchacha llamada Joan Anderson, y entre bromas y veras salpica el relato con multitud de anécdotas, opiniones, descripciones y juegos verbales. Kerouac se fijó sobre todo en la desenvoltura y frescura con que su amigo contaba las cosas, en su mezcla de golfería y sensibilidad literaria, en la facilidad con que improvisaba e introducía digresiones y, en definitiva, en la libertad narrativa que reflejaba. Un año antes Kerouac y él habían recorrido el país y vivido una serie de experiencias que el primero se disponía a contar con el puntillismo naturalista que había aprendido de Thomas Wolfe y plasmado en su primera novela, La ciudad y el campo, que acababa de publicarse aquel mismo año. Pero leer la carta lo cambió todo. Un año después, Kerouac visitó a Cassady, se instaló en su casa y se puso a escribir las aventuras del viaje de 1949 con un estilo...

Carmen Boullosa is one of Mexico's most acclaimed writers, and Leaving Tabasco tells of the coming-of-age of Delmira Ulloa, raised in an all-female home in Agustini, in the Mexican province of Tabasco.

This book will take us into the boiler room and offer a behind-the-scenes look into the strategies and moments that lead to national headlines. Pete Salgado was Jenn’s longstanding manager, considered by Jenn her fifth bother, he worked with her for nearly a decade, and helped negotiate many of her deals. She shared things with him she did not with others, and he came to know her in ways no one else did. The months before Jenni’s death were filled with betrayals and disappointments from those she most loved and trusted. Salgado addresses that and takes readers deep inside some cryptic tweets Jenni posted as well of answering very difficult questions such as: Did Chiquis have an affair with Jenni’s husband, Esteban? Who really was the person Jenni called El Pelón and tweeted about, and what did he mean to her? Was Jenni embroiled with the drug cartel? Did the notorious narco El Barbie mistreat her? Was she going to buy a plane? Was Jenni’s death truly an accident? This book describes...

El banquero anarquista

Autor: Fernando Pessoa

Número de Páginas: 45

El banquero anarquista es un libro de Fernando Pessoa editado por primera vez en el año 1922. El texto está armado como un diálogo entre el banquero y un amigo suyo, quienes conversan sin pausa y sin perder el hilo: ¿cómo un banquero es anarquista, y cómo un anarquista termina siendo banquero sin traicionarse? Es una entretenida ironía del ideario anarquista: lleva al extremo sus postulados a través de un protagonista −banquero, acaparador y usurero− que cuenta sus inicios en organizaciones políticas, critica a sus antiguos compañeros por no pasar más allá de la teoría, y ejerce un particular anarquismo basado en sofismas, en argumentos presentados de manera lógica e inteligente, pero mañosa; son tanto o más entretenidos que los argumentos de quienes proponen un mundo mejor a partir del homicidio selectivo y la coacción. Fernando Pessoa (1888 — 1935), es uno de los mayores poetas y escritores de la lengua portuguesa y de la literatura europea.

A young girl's diary

Autor: Sigmund Freud

Número de Páginas: 323

This authentic diary, kept by a Viennese schoolgirl when she was eleven to fourteen years old, first appeared publicly in 1919. Richly expressive and emotionally moving, it intimately chronicles her passage from childhood to puberty with frankness, lucidity, and an honesty that scandalized the anonymous author's contemporaries. Originally presented by Sigmund Freud as a specimen to analyze and observe the development of a young female during the vital years of personal growth, the book relates, in a gently ironic tone, daily encounters and experiences as well as private conversations and exchanged intimacies with a close friend. "So charming, so serious, and so artless, that it cannot fail to be of supreme interest to educationists and psychologists."—Sigmund Freud "Psychotherapists and analysts will enjoy debating the implications of the document's frank evocation of the sexual awakening of a cosseted girl."—Publisher's Weekly

Palabras de Los Seres Verdaderos

Autor: Carlos Montemayor

Número de Páginas: 305

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...
