Amor, Guerra, y Helado by M.Z. Fairtlough Pdf

El Salón Italiano de Cádiz, conocido como la heladería «Los Italianos», es el epicentro de la historia de amor entre Harry y Marina, cuyas vidas se entrelazan en la posguerra. A través de la narración alternada de sus historias, conocemos a sus protagonistas: Harry, es inteligente y tiene buen corazón. Su familia inglesa forma parte de la alta burguesía, militar y conservadora, pero está abrumada por los enormes cambios sociales que ocurrieron en el período de entreguerras. La historia de Harry nos lleva desde su primer recuerdo, el día de la rendición de los Nazis, hasta su llegada a Cádiz en 1962. Marina es guapa, lista y tiene el fi rme propósito de triunfar en la vida. Al principio, su familia le proporciona las circunstancias ideales para lograr este resultado: sus familiares son gente con iniciativa y ganas de trabajar para hacerse una vida mejor. Mientras se fragua la guerra huyen de Italia y abren la famosa heladería de la calle Ancha. La obsesión con la heladería provoca una desavenencia que casi destruye a la familia. Cuando conoce a Harry, Marina fi nalmente puede imaginarse otra manera de vivir. A pesar de las tensiones culturales y familiares, Harry se escapa de los constreñimientos de su clase social, y se empieza a conocer a sí mismo. Marina aprende que ella tiene que ser egoísta si quiere lograr su propia felicidad. Desde la contenida acuarela de la vida burguesa en Inglaterra, al óleo de colorido chillón de Cádiz, Amor, guerra y helado nos cuenta la historia de dos familias que luchan para sobrevivir en el nuevo orden mundial. Depende de Harry y de Marina demostrarles a sus padres que la vida as para vivirla.

Amor, Guerra Y Helado by M. Z. Fairtlough Pdf

Este tierno, y en ocasiones comico, tiene como telon de fondo el choque entre dos culturas distintas, y toca a fondo los puntos en comun entre ambas: el honor, la responsabilidad, la integridad, y el amor eterno... Los lectores se entusiasmaran con Los Campo y Los Fairtlough... -Blue Ink Review Harry creyo haber visto una fi gura vestida de blanco por la ventana abierta. Sera ella? Harry miro otra vez desde la entrada de la Iglesia de San Antonio hacia la arboleda de la plaza, con el sol pegandole en la cara desde lo alto de las casas. Del balcon del apartamento donde Marina habia vivido toda su vida brotaban geranios, brillantes y alegres como el repique de las campanas. Algo rozo su brazo. La mano enguantada de su madre. Por un momento el habia olvidado que se encontraba alli. -En algunos paises es costumbre dejar al novio esperando -le dijo ella. Sus labios sonreian seguros en senal de afi rmacion, mientras el monton de plumas de su sombrero se movia al unisono. Sin embargo, estas palabras no tuvieron el efecto deseado. Harry se dejo invadir por el panico. Le habra prohibido Don Arturo a Marina casarse conmigo? Casi desfallece ante este pensamiento. Su padre se habia mostrado ambiguo acerca del compromiso. Dona Iole sin embargo no podia ser mas feliz, y siendo ella la que dirigia la situacion, no importaba mucho lo que su marido pensara al respecto. -Marina debe venir -se dijo Harry a si mismo. En ese momento, de las pesadas sombras surgio una fi gura corriendo. Era Gianni, el hermano de Marina."

Europe Central by William T. Vollmann Pdf

A daring literary masterpiece and winner of the National Book Award In this magnificent work of fiction, acclaimed author William T. Vollmann turns his trenchant eye on the authoritarian cultures of Germany and the USSR in the twentieth century to render a mesmerizing perspective on human experience during wartime. Through interwoven narratives that paint a composite portrait of these two battling leviathans and the monstrous age they defined, Europe Central captures a chorus of voices both real and fictional— a young German who joins the SS to fight its crimes, two generals who collaborate with the enemy for different reasons, the Soviet composer Dmitri Shostakovich and the Stalinist assaults upon his work and life.

Selected Poems/Poemas Selectos by Jimmy Santiago Baca Pdf

“Baca writes with unconcealed passion . . . and manifests both an intense lyricism and that transformative vision which perceives the mythical and archetypal significance of life events.”—Denise Levertov Champion of the International Poetry Slam, winner of the Before Columbus American Book Award, the International Hispanic Heritage Award, the Pushcart Prize, and the prestigious International Award, Jimmy Santiago Baca has been writing as a mestizo (part Native American, part Mexican) and an outsider ever since he learned to read and write—in English—during a six-year Federal prison sentence when he was in his twenties. Drawing on his rich ethnic heritage and his life growing up in poverty in the Southwestern United States, Baca has a created a body of work which speaks to the disenfranchised by drawing on his experiences as a prisoner, a father, a poet, and by reflecting on the lush, and sometimes stark, landscape of the Rio Grande valley. In response to increased demand for Latino poetry in Spanish, and to thousands of Baca fans who are bilingual, this unique collection contains Spanish translations of Baca’s poetry selected from the volumes Martín and Mediations on the South Valley (1987), Black Mesa Poems (1989), Immigrants in Our Own Land (1990), Healing Earthquakes (2001), C-Train and Thirteen Mexicans (2002), Winter Poems Along the Rio Grande (2004), and Spring Poems Along the Rio Grande (2007).

Farewell Summer by Ray Bradbury Pdf

The master of American fiction returns to the territory of his beloved classic, Dandelion Wine—a sequel 50 years in the making Some summers refuse to end . . . October 1st, the end of summer. The air is still warm, but fall is in the air. Thirteen-year-old Douglas Spaulding, his younger brother Tom, and their friends do their best to take advantage of these last warm days, rampaging through the ravine, tormenting the girls . . . and declaring war on the old men who run Green Town, IL. For the boys know that Colonel Quartermain and his cohorts want nothing more than to force them to put away their wild ways, to settle down, to grow up. If only, the boys believe, they could stop the clock atop the courthouse building. Then, surely, they could hold onto the last days of summer . . . and their youth. But the old men were young once, too. And Quartermain, crusty old guardian of the school board and town curfew, is bent on teaching the boys a lesson. What he doesn’t know is that before the last leaf turns, the boys will give him a gift: they will teach him the importance of not being afraid of letting go.

John 1-10 by Kevin Perrotta,Gerald Darring Pdf

"John 1-10: I Am the Bread of Life "is an excellent way to introduce young adults to the book of John and the life-changing message of Jesus in this Gospel. As John sees it, we human beings need God. We need God's light in our lives, his power to energize us. But for the most part we are not very aware of this need because we spend our lives running around looking for one thing after another, preoccupied with meeting our material and social needs. We tend to see God as the provider of earthly blessings rather than the source of something much more important. And of course, we also tend to ignore God and instead work to satisfy our own desires. John tells us how God tries to break through the barrier of our earthly thinking by entering into our world personally. Designed as a guided discovery, Six Weeks with the Bible for Catholic Teens introduces high school students to different books of the Bible by integrating the biblical text with insightful questions to help youth discern what Scripture means for their lives today. The series provides students with a clear explanation of Biblical text, opportunities for prayer, and a means to enter into conversation with God.

A Court of Silver Flames by Sarah J. Maas Pdf

Sarah J. Maas's sexy, richly imagined series continues with the journey of Feyre's fiery sister, Nesta. Nesta Archeron has always been prickly-proud, swift to anger, and slow to forgive. And ever since being forced into the Cauldron and becoming High Fae against her will, she's struggled to find a place for herself within the strange, deadly world she inhabits. Worse, she can't seem to move past the horrors of the war with Hybern and all she lost in it. The one person who ignites her temper more than any other is Cassian, the battle-scarred warrior whose position in Rhysand and Feyre's Night Court keeps him constantly in Nesta's orbit. But her temper isn't the only thing Cassian ignites. The fire between them is undeniable, and only burns hotter as they are forced into close quarters with each other. Meanwhile, the treacherous human queens who returned to the Continent during the last war have forged a dangerous new alliance, threatening the fragile peace that has settled over the realms. And the key to halting them might very well rely on Cassian and Nesta facing their haunting pasts. Against the sweeping backdrop of a world seared by war and plagued with uncertainty, Nesta and Cassian battle monsters from within and without as they search for acceptance-and healing-in each other's arms.
