Mano Santa

Autor: Miguel Enrique Fiol Elías

Número de Páginas: 200

Mano Santa: En esta compleja novela, un acaudalado y prometedor cirujano puertorriqueño en la diáspora de Chicago sufre una crisis de media vida por: su agnosticismo, el conflicto de sus valores humanísticos con sus creencias políticas, y por la pérdida de sus sueños patrióticos de juventud. Busca en las neurociencias cognitivas (la biología de la mente) la solución a su agnosticismo y examina las teorías que postulan la existencia de un "área de Dios" en los lóbulos frontales del cerebro humano. Al no poder resolver así su agnosticismo, se lanza a una serie de aventuras peligrosas para solucionar su crisis de identidad patriótica. Fuerzas externas le agudizan su situación y se complica la trama con un clímax doloroso y un sorprendente final donde se le revela la verdadera razón de su crisis. “La escritura es fluida, con una lengua familiar, a veces muy poética, preñada de metáforas y símiles, descripciones hermosas del paisaje isleño, sobre todo, del cañaveral, y también descripciones muy atinadas de las escenas de procesos quirúrgicos; con un vocabulario diverso y variado, desde los tecnicismos científicos, los anglicismos, los vulgarismos, modismos...

I Believed In Me

Autor: Ambrocio Magana

Número de Páginas: 164

I was born in a small town that at that time had about 300 inhabitants between children and adults ... I am a simple person, not very happy but not bitter. I am always willing to help those who need it; I do not wait for me to go begging, I offer help. I do not have much education I went to school for a short time. I finished sixth grade until I had 15 years old, but I remember that since I was young I liked to write stories, although I had never had the opportunity to publish them. I hope these stories reach your hearts and I also hope they like you. I want you enjoy them so much that you want to read them all... and other stories more. Remember that reading gives you education and culture. A part of these stories is true. A common occurrence for some people, whether by nature or custom, is to criticize or judge others and, often we do not realize that we make that person, or their family feel bad. Sometimes we can even physically or mentally harm them. Among the stories written here, one is true. It speaks of a little girl who has been criticized since her birth but has had the intelligence to turn criticism into positive energy. She has not stopped to listen to mediocre...

The Gift That changed our lives

Autor: Rocío Martín Díez

When you’re told that your child has brain damage, the world falls apart around you. No matter what happens to you, this is a turning point in your life, where you have to take decisions. For me, it was the moment when I decided, without knowing that I had, to start a new life; an awakening, a road with no return. Our children with brain injury come to teach us many things; it’s no coincidence that they have chosen us. Felipón has been, and is, a gift, I’m not speaking out of faith or through false hope, but rather from the experience of a woman who has discovered how loving herself can make her son improve day by day. There’s a fine, imperceptible thread between a mother and her children; a thread that only she recognises, but in order to recognise it, we must be there, in the present, and listen to ourselves. This is the story of how I’ve lived since we were told that Felipón had six very serious injuries in his brain, when I was twenty weeks pregnant. I’d have given a great deal to find a book where someone told me where to start... I do hope this book will help you to understand, as I have done, that your son is coming to achieve much more than you can possibly...

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...

Cazzoas

Autor: José Elgarresta

Número de Páginas: 142

Es Cazzoas uno de esos personajes mágicos de la literatura que surgen y se imponen a su autor, perplejo ante la fuerza de ese ser, que aparece de la nada como una revelación divina, y se queda. Estaba iniciando José Elgarresta su blog Todynada, cuando, tras una mirada a la historia en la tercera entrada, aparece Evángelos Cazzoulas, o Cazzoas, el poeta resucitado: el autor afirma que se comunicó con él a través del sueño. Desde ese momento, se convierte en protagonista y, en ocasiones, autor de su propia historia, que el lector deberá recomponer, ya que le llega sin respetar una cronología y a través de diversos tipos de escritos: diario en prosa, poemas, cartas, arengas, comentarios de compañeros de armas o amigos e informaciones que nos hace llegar un narrador externo. La presentación del personaje nos la hace el narrador, que nos da noticia del poeta y de su prematura muerte ya en la primera entrada en la que aparece. Después llegarán algunos poemas y textos en prosa, podríamos hablar de fragmentos de un diario. En definitiva, una serie de manuscritos que se encontraron tras su muerte. Estamos, por tanto, ante una obra singular, originalísima e innovadora que...

CAPRICORN 01

Autor: J. M. Sarmiento

Número de Páginas: 110

Nicole's eyes barely open. Breathing is painful. The memories are hazy. Nicole, an injured astronaut from the Capricorn division, awakens in the middle of a desolate wasteland where the remains of the entire famed division lie lifeless. The astronaut is lost in her missing memories and that place where the red and desert soil indicated that she was no longer on Earth. After some troubles, she decides to find her way to the truth that awaited her in the death camp, but without knowing exactly what she should do or what her guidelines were, everything is more complex than she thought. Her role in the battle was unclear to her as she could well be a fallen defender or an invader who was not adequately successful alongside her company. Either way, she would have to find out what was going on before some strange creatures that haunt the wasteland could find her. During her trip she found an extraterrestrial structure that is possibly the reason for the defense, or siege, and that was anxiously waiting to reveal that on that red planet the greatest battle of humanity has taken place. However, her role is still to be clarified and for this she must make a trip to the depths of her soul...

Catechism of the Catholic Church

Autor: Holyspirit

The purpose of this catechism is to present an organic and synthetic exposition of the essential and fundamental contents of Catholic doctrine both on faith and on morals, in the light of the Second Vatican Council and the entire Tradition of the Church. Its main sources are Sacred Scripture, the Holy Fathers, the Liturgy and the Magisterium of the Church. It is intended to serve "as a point of reference for catechisms or compendia that are drawn up in different countries" (Synod of Bishops 1985. Final Report II BA 4). Catechesis is the name given to all the efforts made in the Church to make disciples, to help men to believe that Jesus is the Son of God so that, by faith, they may have life in his name, and to educate and instruct them. in this life and thus build the Body of Christ (Cf. John Paul II, CT 1,2). The purpose of First Communion is the education in the faith of children, youth and adults, which especially includes a teaching of Christian doctrine. In a more specific sense, “globally, catechesis can be considered here as an education in the faith of children, young people and adults that especially includes a teaching of Christian doctrine, generally imparted in an...

Escritoras dominicanas a la deriva

Autor: Sintia Molina

Escritoras dominicanas a la deriva: Marginación, dolor y resistencia reúne artículos y entrevistas que abordan temas sobre la mujer y, en particular, la mujer dominicana. Desde diferentes acercamientos críticos y académicos, los ensayos analizan aquellas situaciones y condiciones escasamente planteadas por la crítica dominicana. La narrativa y la poesía son los géneros puestos a debate. El volumen estudia la obra de un grupo de escritoras dominicanas de diferentes generaciones, antecedentes y formación. Las diversas escrituras se caracterizan por la búsqueda, la valoración y la aceptación de la condición de mujer en una sociedad plagada por una ideología patriarcal, una moralidad demagógica y la alienación de las mujeres. Estas escritoras han sido marginadas e ignoradas por la sociedad a la que pertenecen y, en consecuencia, permanecen desconocidas para muchos en su propio país y en el exterior, excepto la figura de Julia Álvarez, de mayor proyección mediática. Dominican Women Writers on the Edge: Alienation, Pain and Resistance is composed of articles and interviews dealing with a variety of issues that affect the life of women in general, but particularly,...

Requiem Por Un Campesino Espanol

Autor: Ramon J. Sender

Número de Páginas: 111

Requiem per un campesino espanol was first published under the title Mosen Millan in Coleccion Aquelarre,Mexico, 1953. The present text follows the first Spanish edition published by Destino, Barcelona, 1974, which bears a few minor variants, mainly in paragraph structure. It has been reprinted a number of times and translated into many languages and is one of the most widely read Spanish texts in the 20th century. This edition is aimed primarily at sixth-formers and university undergraduates and the introduction and notes have been compiled in the light of recent socio-politial topic-based syllabuses and communication studies courses. The inclusion in the introduction of a substantial section on the now out-of-print "Contraataque" (1937), the wartime narrative which contains the germ of the post-war novel, is intended to provide the student with a context for the study of the process in Sender's writing inspired by the Civil War - from explicit militant propaganda penned in the heat of battle to implicit poetic parable, historical emotion recollected in the comparative tranquillity and distance of exile. It is hoped that such a juxtaposition will illuminate both the content and...

Patagonia (Ingles)

Autor: Jaime Said

Número de Páginas: 312

The history of Patagonia is a dramatic account of exploration, endurance, su_ering and survival, full of extraordinary characters and amazing natural settings. Covering three centuries since the Renaissance, the stories grip the imagination and invite you to explore this great virgin territory. Venice _ourished through the silk and spice routes maintaining a trade monopoly. An amazing discovery made history in 1520, the Strait of Magellan in Patagonia opened the new Southern route to the Indies and the circumnavigation around the world. The trade hegemony over the Indies was fractured, thus balancing the power of commerce towards Spain. These explorations started the search for El Dorado, the golden city that tempted Europeans to explore even further the great territory of Patagonia. Charles Darwin#s theory of evolution was inspired in Patagonia with the analysis of its _ora and fauna, including the biggest bird on earth, the condor. The discovery of the Beagle Channel by Robert Fitz Roy in 1830 was also a historical accomplishment. Previous visitors such as Sir Francis Drake and Sir Thomas Cavendish from England, sailed the Southern ocean where the Menendez family later built an...

Texto, género y discurso en el ámbito francófono

Autor: GONZALO SANTOS, Tomas

Número de Páginas: 972

Esta obra colectiva recoge buena parte de las comunicaciones y las ponencias presentadas en el XVII Coloquio de la APFUE, la Asociación de Profesores de Francés de la Universidad Española que ha trocado recientemente su denominación por la de AFUE (Asociación de Francesistas de la Universidad Española); cambio motivado, en opinión –expresada mayoritariamente– de sus miembros, por entender que el término francesistas refleja mejor al conjunto de los universitarios que se dedican a los Estudios Franceses en España, tanto en la docencia como en la investigación. El volumen da cumplida respuesta –aunque dilatada en el tiempo–, dentro del vasto campo de nuestros estudios, al lema que presidió el coloquio: Texte, Genre, Discours. A la hora de organizar las distintas contribuciones, en lugar de ceder a la tentación de ordenarlas alfabéticamente, hemos optado por respetar la distribución en mesas temáticas llevada a cabo en el congreso. Con ello nos atenemos a la coherencia y cohesión exigibles en una edición de esta naturaleza y más, si cabe, con el asunto planteado

Dressed to Kill

Autor: Elizabeth Rhodes

Número de Páginas: 234

The noble wives in María de Zayas's Desengaños suffer terrible fates: one is beheaded, another poisoned, one is cemented into a chimney, while yet another is locked into a tiny wall closet where she dies. The hallmark of Zayas's aesthetics, these characters are the central reason why her fiction has increased in popularity through the ages. Yet their stories pose an apparent contradiction between the author's pro-female rhetoric and her gusto for killing model women, then beautifying their mutilated cadavers. Dressed to Kill reconciles Zayas's Desengaños with the age in which it was written, contextualizing the book in baroque poetics, the Spanish honour code, and fifteenth-century martyr saints' lives. Elizabeth Rhodes elegantly uncovers Zayas's intention to reform the Spanish nobility by displaying noble misbehaviour and its deadly consequences. Her book concludes by detailing the Desengaños' intriguing influence on the aesthetic base of Gothic literature by revealing that its authors were avid readers of Zayas.
