Book Napole  n

Download or read book Napole n written by Alexandre Dumas and published by Espuela de Plata. This book was released on 2012-11-22 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La historia de Napoleón ha dado lugar a una producción bibliográfica oceánica que ha invadido la literatura y la mitología más allá del campo específico de la historia. Verdaderamente, lo mismo entonces que después, el Emperador es un personaje que ha hecho soñar y ha inspirado a numerosos escritores y novelistas. Uno de ello es Alexandre Dumas, el autor de Los tres mosqueteros o El conde de Montecristo, cuyo padre fue general del propio Emperador, como fue el caso también de Victor Hugo. Con su biografía sobre Napoleón, escrita de forma esquemática, Dumas, anticipándose al regreso a Francia de las cenizas del Emperador en 1840, supo captar mejor que nadie la cresta de la ola del entusiasmo napoleónico para, de una forma breve, sencilla y fácil de leer, escribir en el momento justo el libro apropiado. Alexandre Dumas (Villers-Cotterêts, 1803-Puys, cerca de Dieppe, 1870) es uno de los autores más prolíficos y populares de la literatura europea. Hijo de un general a las órdenes de Napoleón, que más tarde llegaría a conspirar contra este. Sus comienzos literarios fueron en París, donde desde joven se sintió arrastrado por una intensa vocación hacia el teatro y el drama, y aunque escribió numerosas obras, su fama mundial la alcanzó con la novela histórica. Publicó un sinfín de títulos, convirtiéndose, según frase de Delarme, en «el más famoso de los folletinistas y en el más hábil falsificador de la Historia». Vendió libros a millones, llegando a manejar una enorme fortuna que no dudó en dilapidarse, pues es de sobra sabido que derrochó a manos llenas, en una vida de fastuoso escándalo: lujo, frenesí amoroso, banquetes y viajes fueron conduciendo a Dumas a la ruina total. Murió refugiado en casa de su hijo, también Alexandre, y autor de La dama de las camelias. Este, en una carta en la que describía la muerte de su padre, llegó a trazar, tal vez sin saberlo, la mejor y más sintética de sus semblanzas: «Ha muerto como ha vivido: sin darse cuenta». Manuel Moreno Alonso es catedrático de Historia Contemporánea en la Universidad de Sevilla. Historiador de la Guerra de la Independencia y del mundo napoleónico, es miembro de la International Napoleonic Society. Autor, entre otros libros, de una biografía de Napoleón (Napoleón. De ciudadano a emperador) y de su hermano José (José Bonaparte. Un republicano en el trono de España), así como de La verdadera historia del asedio napoleónico de Cádiz (1810-1812), ha realizado numerosas ediciones de texto de época. Ha prologado, entre otras obras, Los periódicos españoles de la Guerra de la Independencia de M. Gómez Ímaz, la Autobiografía de Palafox, Memorias de un boticario (Episodios de la Guerra de la Independencia) de S. Blaze, Memorias de un prisionero de guerra inglés en 1810 de A. T. Blayney, Memorias de un recluta de 1808 de L. F. Gille, o De la Guerra de la Independencia en Galicia de Andrés Martínez Salazar.

Book excerpt: Este rico y profundo libro es para todo aquel que se siente arto de una fe frívola y busca un Dios vivo y real. La obra excava profundamente las grandes verdades de Dios, a la vez que hace entendible lo trascendente. Doctrinalmente da en el blanco, pues desde los primeros párrafos se observa que lo escrito se fundamenta en una amplia referencia a la Palabra de Dios. El contenido de esta obra estimula por su estilo devocional. No es un libro para leer a la ligera, sino pausadamente, para poder absorber la riqueza de sus enseñanzas. El alma del lector se deleitará con la lectura y reflexión de lo expuesto. Sin duda, le conducirá a un andar más agradable e íntimo con Dios.

Book excerpt: On a cool, autumn day in Canada, a tiny egg hatches under a milkweed plant. As Mari the caterpillar is born, she is surrounded by beautiful monarch butterflies that gracefully soar around the orange blossoms. Mari can hardly wait until she grows big enough to have wings to fly! It is not long before Mari grows large and gets very tired. She spins a chrysalis and slips inside, falling into a deep sleep as her body begins to change. As soon as she awakens, Mari unfolds her orange and black wings, dries them in the sun, and begins flying from flower to flower. Soon, it is time for her to catch a current and embark on a magnificent migration that will take her more than two thousand miles over New York City to the hills of West Virginia and finally to a mountain in Mexico where the circle of life begins once again. Written in both Spanish and English, Maris Miracle tells the delightful, educational, and touching tale of a migrating monarch butterflys adventures, seeking to encourage learning and good stewardship of our planet.

Book Cinderella Liberator

Download or read book Cinderella Liberator written by Rebecca Solnit and published by Haymarket Books. This book was released on 2019-05-07 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “What would the world look like if girls grew up reading fairytales made from the magic they carry inside themselves? Breathtakingly beautiful, is what.” —Lidia Yuknavich, national bestselling author In her debut children’s book, Rebecca Solnit reimagines a classic fairytale with a fresh, feminist Cinderella and new plot twists that will inspire young readers to change the world, featuring gorgeous silhouettes from Arthur Rackham on each page. In this modern twist on the classic story, Cinderella, who would rather just be Ella, meets her fairy godmother, goes to a ball, and makes friends with a prince. But that is where the familiar story ends. Instead of waiting to be rescued, Cinderella learns that she can save herself and those around her by being true to herself and standing up for what she believes. “Being a princess is absolutely fine if that’s what you choose. It’s having those choices taken away from you that make for big problems. Cinderella in Solnit’s book is given that choice. She’s allowed to say what her dreams are, and then she goes out and attains them. And they’re not huge ridiculous dreams but small, happy, manageable ones. Ultimately, that’s the gift Ms. Solnit is giving kids with this book.” —School Library Journal “This is a reminder of hope and possibility, of kindness and compassion, and—perhaps most salient—imagination and liberty. Through the imaginations of our childhoods, can we find our true selves liberated in adulthood?” —Chelsea Handler “This is, hands down, a wonderful book—one that even the jaded reader will clasp upon completion with a contented sigh.” —The New York Times
