Book Los fantasmas de la Soledad

Download or read book Los fantasmas de la Soledad written by Yankuik Itzaé and published by Editorial Independiente . This book was released on 2024-04-09 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Narracion del género realismo mágico con tintes existencialistas. En dónde el protagonista, sumido en la marginación social, explora el sin sentido de la vida material y la búsqueda de la verdad espiritual que da razón de ser a la existencia. La respuesta al papel que desempeñamos en el universo, al significado de la vida, y la armonía universal emergen como un secreto casi sagrado entre el lodo de una sociedad perdida y podrida. Y qué, sin embargo, al ser alcanzado, no exonera del sufrimiento, combustible necesario para la trascendencia del ser. Una historia tal vez trágica, pero a la vez refrescante para el alma. Cuyo mensaje acompañará a los que, solitarios, caminan sin rumbo, a pasos ciegos, en la oscuridad de la vida.

  • ISBN : 1462069592
  • Pages : 161 pages

Download or read book Momentos written by Raul Portuondo Duany and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2011-12 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este poemario recoge la mayor parte de las poesías que he compuesto a lo largo de mi vida. De alguna manera son un diario incompleto de las sensaciones y vivencias por las que he transitado. Las consideré siempre mi pintura personal, compartida solamente con familiares y amigos. Más de uno, en alguna ocasión me ha propuesto publicarlas, compartirlas de una manera más amplia, y es lo que hago ahora, impulsado fundamentalmente por mi esposa. Las poesías las he agrupado por el tipo de sentimiento que las motivó, o los momentos personales, y estados de ánimo, que las provocaron. En cada grupo aparecen en el orden temporal en que fueron escritas. Momentos de "Imposibles" hay siempre en la vida de cualquiera: deseos que son irrealizables por una u otra circunstancia, y de muy variados tipos. Los Momentos de "Ensueños" reflejan las ilusiones de mi etapa adolescente. "Ansiedades" están ligadas a algún tipo de angustia, llevaderas unas, asfixiantes otras. "Añoranzas" se producen al recordar momentos que dieron felicidad. Momentos de "Familia" se corresponden con recuerdos familiares. "Reflexiones" resultan de los momentos en que hacemos un poco de filosofía personal. "Variedades" son poesías circunstanciales que no encajan en los grupos anteriores. "Dicha", al ver la que tengo en mi recta final y en lo que está por venir.

Book Three Roses and a Carnation

Download or read book Three Roses and a Carnation written by Elcor Aragundi and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2010-02-05 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elcor Vincent Aragundi lived his career as a professional racing jockey, but as a native from Ecuador born in Quito, he was first inspired with poetry by his mother when he was still a boy. Between then and the moment he had grown, he began to write poetry in Spanish when he was still in school. He continued to write through the years even after he came to the United States back in March of 1954. Not knowing a word of English when he stepped off the plane in Florida, he ended up getting lost at a bus stop to eat. He returned unable to match the bus he was on with that of the number he held. The bus driver had unknowingly left without him. It took two hours before they could find someone that would translate. English has always been a huge struggle for him, though he desperately wanted to learn. It at times would leave him frustrated from the defied opportunities from his inability to communicate and adapt into the language. That was then; now a proud American citizen celebrating his fifty-fifth year in the United States, he is a renowned poet with trophies, medals, and merits awarded to him for his work, his passion, and his art. Recognized by the International Society of Poets in Owings Mills, Maryland, “A Flight in the Night” was published back in 2002 by the International Library of Poetry. He has been writing in English now for twenty-five years. With over a hundred poems written, half of them reside in Spanish, and the other half in English. His work is not only a milestone but an inspiration of the heart that proves yet that nothing can stand in the way of his love for poetry.

Book The King and Queen of Comez  n

Download or read book The King and Queen of Comez n written by Denise Chávez and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2014-09-15 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comezón: It’s more than an itch. It’s a long-standing desire that will never be fulfilled. And, in this novel by award-winning author Denise Chávez, it is also a border town in New Mexico whose denizens’ longings are as powerful as they are, all too often, impossible. But in the feverish dance of life that seizes Comezón during its two annual fiestas, all things seem possible. As the townspeople revel in the freedom of the fiestas, their stories unfold in all manner of mystery, drama, and comic charm. In the middle of it all is Arnulfo P. Olivárez, master of ceremonies and befuddled patriarch of a less-than-tractable family. At the moment, he is calculating his chances of becoming mayor, as well as pondering the fate of his beautiful disabled daughter, Juliana. Arnulfo’s daughters (“the half and the whole,” he deems them) are the Fiesta Queen, Lucinda, a lovely, lost and wild girl, and Juliana, her half sister, wheelchair-bound but with soaring dreams of love for the local priest, El Padre Manolito. Their mother, the saintly Doña Emilia, attends to all her children, including Arnulfo, with grace. Lucinda’s unsuitable suitor, Ruley Terrazas, a tall, bumpy-skinned boy, is not to be trusted, nor is his father, Cuco “Matamosca” Terrazas, the local chief of police. And Rey Suárez, owner of the Mil Recuerdos Lounge, is haunted by his former incarnation as an immigration officer, an expert in spotting fake IDs. Between New Mexico and México, between Cinco de Mayo and the 16th of September, between the dreams and the realities of Comezón’s characters, something has to give. Each character is attempting to find love in this feverish fiesta called Life. And in the deft hands of Denise Chávez this tragicomic novel gives unerringly: pleasure, surprise, and the satisfaction of a tale well told.

Book Todos mis padres   Saga completa

Download or read book Todos mis padres Saga completa written by Daniel Arias and published by Guid Publicaciones. This book was released on 2019-07-21 with total page 1338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Todos mis padres’ es una saga que relata los amores de la esclava fugitiva Akukéiohn y el aventurero adolescente Rómulo Vilches. Akukéiohn y Rómulo son dos parias que intentan hacer una familia y criar un hijo en medio de la fiebre del oro de Tierra del Fuego, allá por 1886, en la Argentina. Todos mis padres es una novela repleta de otras novelas, algunas casi independientes. Los devenires de Akukéiohn, RómuloVilches y su hijo (y de todos los padres de ese hijo) desaparecen y reaparecen en la proliferación de historias de predicadores, guerreros, gauchos, oligarcas, revolucionarios, chamanes, hampones y médicos. La saga exige un lector que se someta a perderse en el laberinto, llevado a tumbos de la mano de un narrador experto, a cambio de la promesa de un final donde todas las piezas se reencuentren con una precisión de relojería. Esa esperanza, asombrosamente, se cumple. Lector, bienvenido a una maquinaria narrativa como ya no se hacen.

Book Oye Loca

    Book Details:
  • Author : Susana Peña
  • Publisher : U of Minnesota Press
  • Release : 2013-08-01
  • ISBN : 0816686688
  • Pages : 334 pages

Download or read book Oye Loca written by Susana Peña and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2013-08-01 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During only a few months in 1980, 125,000 Cubans entered the United States as part of a massive migration known as the Mariel boatlift. The images of boats of all sizes, in various conditions, filled with Cubans of all colors and ages, triggered a media storm. Fleeing Cuba’s repressive government, many homosexual men and women arrived in the United States only to face further obstacles. Deemed “undesirables” by the U.S. media, the Cuban state, and Cuban Americans already living in Miami, these new entrants marked a turning point in Miami’s Cuban American and gay histories. In Oye Loca, Susana Peña investigates a moment of cultural collision. Drawing from first-person stories of Cuban Americans as well as government documents and cultural texts from both the United States and Cuba, Peña reveals how these discussions both sensationalized and silenced the gay presence, giving way to a Cuban American gay culture. Through an examination of the diverse lives of Cuban and Cuban American gay men, we learn that Miami’s gay culture was far from homogeneous. By way of in-depth interviews, participant observation, and archival analysis, Peña shows that the men who crowded into small apartments together, bleached their hair with peroxide, wore housedresses in the street, and endured ruthless insults challenged what it meant to be Cuban in Miami. Making a critical incision through the study of heteronormativity, homosexualities, and racialization, ultimately Oye Loca illustrates how a single historical event helped shape the formation of an entire ethnic and sexual landscape.
