Download or read book Malena and the Hungry Lion Race written by Edison Gordillo and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2018-04-16 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Malena and the Hungry Lion Race was born as a dream. I saw how the people at a certain insurance broker where I worked a long time ago would let their entire life pass by at the keyboard and were clicking thousands of times a day, but that wasnt what they dreamed about or wanted to do. They were unhappy. One day, I asked them, If they could choose, what would they do right then? They surprised me with their answers: they wanted to be painters or writers, to sell coats, or to simply live beside a river. Many people were disillusioned with the life that they had been living, and to tell the truth, I was as well. I decided that if I continued to do something that I didnt like, at the very least, I would leave my little cousin Mara Paula a story that would tell her that she has to fight for her dreams, regardless of what they are, and that way, I would fulfill one of my own: that of writing a story. I made a deal with one of my best friends, Pedro, for him to help me with the illustrations, and here is the result.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Astoria examines the transitory physical world of the body and reflects on the seamless quality of the present moment. Surrounded by the rush and noise of trains, highways, and grocery store checkout lines, the narrator of these poems creates an intimate space in which to ponder the ephemeral nature of everyday things and the deeper meanings that might underlie them all. "It is amazing / we're not more amazed," one poem muses, "The world / is here / and then it is gone." The poems in Astoria unravel the hidden within the obvious, and speak to our innate questions of longing, purpose, and existence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A generational saga that mixes historical fiction with the romance and intrigue of a Latin soap opera. When Malena Sevilla's tidy, carefully planned world collapses following her father’s mysterious suicide, she finds a letter—signed with an “A”—which reveals that her mother is very much alive and living in San Isidro, a quaint town tucked in the Andes Mountains. Intent on meeting her, Malena arrives at Alameda Street and meets four sisters who couldn’t be more different from one another, but who share one thing in common: all of their names begin with an A. To avoid a scandal, Malena assumes another woman’s identity and enters their home to discover the truth. Could her mother be Amanda, the iconoclastic widow who opens the first tango nightclub in a conservative town? Ana, the ideal housewife with a less-than-ideal past? Abigail, the sickly sister in love with a forbidden man? Or Alejandra, the artistic introvert scarred by her cousin’s murder? But living a lie will bring Malena additional problems, such as falling for the wrong man and loving a family she may lose when they learn of her deceit. Worse, her arrival threatens to expose long-buried secrets and a truth that may wreck her life forever. Set in 1960s Ecuador, The Sisters of Alameda Street is a sweeping story of how one woman’s search for the truth of her identity forces a family to confront their own past.

Download or read book Unexpected Return written by Gladys Correa and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2005-12 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author of Unexpected Return weaves a tale and leads us by the hand down the paths of her imagination fecund with dreams and ideas. Unexpected Return's author starts off at a site from which she moves onwards in the vehicle of a narrative free from vanity and the constraints of effete literature. Thus in the hands of her characters---each masterfully situated within his own milieu---she achieved that for which she was striving: a concatenation of countless events, woes, tears, tragedies and times of anguish which make each character spring to life upon this novel's stinging pages. She describes with passionate affliction the arduous personal fight of one man to outrun a past which overshadowed his present and mercilessly punished him. A man who unflaggingly sought a possible redemption to deliver him beyond all doubt to the embrace of the only woman whom he ever truly loved.
Download or read book Cantoras written by Carolina De Robertis and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2020-06-02 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In defiance of the brutal military government that took power in Uruguay in the 1970s, and under which homosexuality is a dangerous transgression, five women miraculously find one another—and, together, an isolated cape that they claim as their own. Over the next thirty-five years, they travel back and forth from this secret sanctuary, sometimes together, sometimes in pairs, with lovers in tow or alone. Throughout it all, they will be tested repeatedly—by their families, lovers, society, and one another—as they fight to live authentic lives. A groundbreaking, genre-defining work, Cantoras is a breathtaking portrait of queer love, community, forgotten history, and the strength of the human spirit.
Download or read book Practical Approaches to Teaching Film written by Rachel S. Ritterbusch and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2020-07-24 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rachel Ritterbusch’s Practical Approaches to Teaching Film is a collection of essays focusing on the use of film in settings ranging from an introductory film class to an upper-division Women’s Studies course. Drawing on their experience in the classroom, contributors to this anthology show how movies can be used to promote critical thinking, create an awareness of the male gaze, challenge dominant ideology, and unmask the constructedness of film. This volume treats a wide variety of film texts, from box-office hits like The Da Vinci Code to underappreciated art films such as Susan Streitfeld’s Female Perversions; from Pépé le Moko and other French classics to more contemporary francophone works like Chaos and Rosetta; from self-reflexive films that interrogate the act of filmmaking itself to those that draw attention to the phallocentric nature of cinematic apparatus. Common to all these essays is the belief that, if used judiciously, film can be a valuable pedagogical tool. Aimed both at those currently teaching film and those wishing to do so, this volume provides practical support in the form of sample syllabi, assignments, and a glossary of film terms.
Download or read book Aquiles releasing moorings written by Gonzalo Narvreón and published by Gonzalo Narvreón. This book was released on 2021-06-09 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: That much feared and eluded journey had finally come true. Beyond what was agreed before boarding the plane, what had ultimately happened was what Aquiles and Alejandro knew would inevitably end up happening. Almost cornered by the impulse, by the impetus, and by the impudence of Alejandro, Aquiles had lived a new experience that pushed him to cross a new limit. Strangely enough, and despite how mobilizing this journey had been for him, Aquiles did not fall prey to the disturbing internal conflicts that had come to haunt him. Indeed, what had happened had freed him from a heavy backpack; only Aquiles had not yet been able to think about it too much. Nor did he know that this journey would trigger an abrupt and definitive turn in his professional life, which would affect the entire armed structure. Already with the lighter burden, waiting for the birth of his first child, and feeling more open to letting things simply flow, Aquiles would continue to develop and strengthen his emotional bonds without having the slightest suspicion about what was about to happen to him.
