Book excerpt: A modern Western romance for fans of Jane Austen and Zane Grey, Rancho de Amor brings city sensibilities and country values together in a tale rich with wit, irony, and self-discovery. In a last-ditch effort to save a New York publishing house facing imminent closure, editor Catherine Doyle travels across the country to the small town of Sisquoc, California, in search of the famous Loretta de Bonnair, an elderly recluse and breakout author of the bestselling romance novel that has the nation in a fervor. Despite her own disappointment with love and misgivings about the novel, Catherine’s determined to beat out the competition to offer Ms. de Bonnair a book deal she can’t refuse. But as Catherine wanders the town interviewing the locals, she slowly realizes something: no one has ever seen the mysterious author. Not even the post office has her address. The only clue to Ms. de Bonnair seems to come in the form of a certain handsome blue-eyed cowboy with a penchant for bar fights. But if Catherine wants to save her job and the publishing house, she’ll have to get closer to this stranger, even if it means trusting him.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La prorrogación a la obediencia ha hecho que el mundo viva sumergido en una ola vertiginosa de engaños. Por desobediencia, sobre la tierra, se han levantado guerras, tumultos y destrucción; cuyo suelo grita de dolor y tiembla de espanto porque la vanidad la está destruyendo. Por consecuencia humana, la tierra está inficionada de maldad; el océano se ha salido de sus márgenes arropando la tierra, cuyas olas entran por toda la zona terrestre; pidiendo cuenta, la naturaleza azota la tierra con furor, extrayendo la profanación que está incrustada en su suelo. No obstante, desde el cielo, un ángel se encuentra observando a través de la ventana que da al mundo, la cual por impetuosidad, descorre la cortina del cielo, presenciando al mundo ahogarse en una ola de desastre; como acto de benevolencia, decide liberar a la humanidad del sufrimiento. Al recibir el ángel el permiso de descender a la tierra y cumplir su misión de amor, es preparada por Moisés (su guía y mentor), a través de sus enseñanzas, aprende como viven los terrestres, sus vicios, amores y secretos... y cuando baja arregla la vida de éstas personas, dejándoles, a su retorno al Cielo, el camino que necesitan seguir para encontrar la felicidad.

Book excerpt: NIÑOS DE LA GUERRILLA (Ak'alab' reche le guerrilla). Es la historia que nos revela como la tranquilidad, la paz, y la armonía de las comunidades campesinas, repentinamente fue arrebatada con violencia incendiaria; al irrumpir en esas pacíficas comunidades el fuego destructor del comunismo internacional. Y cómo esa impactante violencia vino a destruir las familias y los poblados; arrasando no solamente con los míseros valores materiales sino también con todos los valores familiares; hasta con la identidad, la espiritualidad y el misticismo de los pueblos mayas, con toda aquella horrible destrucción y muerte. Esta desgraciada experiencia se agigantó dolorosamente cuando recayó en niños inocentes, imberbes, y analfabetas; que fueron arrastrados violentamente desde sus comunidades hasta cruzar por las montañas y los ríos, la frontera del vecino país. Para cumplir con los planes estratégicos y políticos de la guerrilla. Esta no es la historia del inmigrante común, que con natural entusiasmo anhela alcanzar "El Sueño Americano". Esta es la historia de los niños que espantados ante la violencia y el secuestro; aún en sus míseras condiciones escapan y luchan por alejarse de aquellas organizaciones de terror que solamente les mostró una violencia que nunca habían conocido; cuyo fin único era transformarlos en niños guerrilleros. Es la transformación total de su pacifica vida desde el seno familiar. Desde la tranquilidad del campo hasta el infierno de la violencia en las acciones de guerra, la soledad y el abandono en un país extraño. La fuga de Atanasio Pu de los solapados campos de concentración en México, dirigidos por el Comunismo Internacional. El sentimiento de persecución que siempre lo atormentó. Su desastrosa infancia, sin familia, sin amigos, en la más triste y aberrante miseria. Encarna el sufrimiento al cual fueron sometidas esas familias guatemaltecas especialmente las familias mayas. Todo esto constituye sin duda un trauma familiar y social que lamentablemente atormentará a esas comunidades y a los guatemaltecos por muchos años más.

Download or read book The Writings of Eusebio Chac n written by Eusebio Chacón and published by University of New Mexico Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eusebio Chacón, born in Pe-asco, New Mexico, is arguably one of the most significant and most overlooked figures in New Mexico's cultural heritage. He earned a law degree from Notre Dame and returned to practice law in Trinidad, Colorado. He served as a district attorney for Las Animas County, Colorado, and as a translator for the U.S. Court of Private Land Claims. In 1898, he began to write and edit for El Progreso, in which many of his articles exposed the unjust treatment of Hispanics in Colorado and New Mexico. He was also New Mexico's first novelist, and took pride in his pioneering efforts to establish a Nuevomexicano literary tradition. This collection of Chacón's writings brings together all published and written materials found, displaying his versatility with samples of his work as an accomplished orator, translator, essayist, historian, novelist, and poet.
