Download or read book Cuentos de viaje written by Luis Alberto Ambroggio and published by Palibrio. This book was released on 2013-09 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "..Los cuentos...me han gustado mucho. (Algunos) son pequeñas historias sobre algunas ridículas tragedias de la posmodernidad, cuyo humor -y ahí está, creo, su mayor mérito- deriva de una mirada que se desliza de la ironía a la compasión, pues el narrador mezcla su propia voz con la del personaje, evitando así situarse en un plano de superioridad. Lo ridículo se convierte en una atmósfera que todos estamos obligados a respirar: nadie queda exento". Graciela Tomassini, autora de Reconfiguraciones. Estudios críticos sobre narrativa breve hispanoamericana de fin de siglo (Rosario: Fundación Ross, 1996). Muchas de estas diminutas historias atraen tanto por no ser muy comunes como por serlo. En el viaje de la vida uno se encuentra con situaciones reales que superan la magia y excitan la imaginación más allá de lo que pareciera posible, hasta que lo sucedido, lo dicho, lo experimentado prueban lo contrario. Allí reside su ironía, su humor, su belleza y desconcierto. Cuentos de viaje para siete cuerdas y otras metafísicas documenta ficticiamente estas ocurrencias y sus impensables implicaciones. El malabarismo de lo inesperado se convierte en un microrrelato que perdura en un pentagrama de posibles reflexiones, conclusiones y las estelas de otras expansiones imaginativas. "Estos cuentos proponen conocer y reflexionar sobre toda clase de viajes entre ciudades, países y continentes. Pero proponen, sobre todo, viajar entre los más diversos momentos de la experiencia cotidiana. ... Es desde ese lugar privilegiado donde sugiero al lector que se asome a leer un par de textos representativos de este volumen: las "Instrucciones para salir del internet" y las "Instrucciones para meter la pata". En ambos, el logrado homenaje al Manual de Instrucciones de Julio Cortázar demuestra que la voz más genuina del autor, la que está detrás de todas las otras, es la de un cronopio. Favor de asegurar el cinturón de seguridad y disponerse a disfrutar de estos Cuentos de viaje". Lauro Zavala Ahora y con otro género "Ambroggio nos invita a viajar con él, experimentar el mundo como lo ve -con júbilo, admiración y una reverencia sorprendetes" Oscar Hijuelos, Premio Pulitzer

Download or read book Amores Y Otros Cuentos Deg Nero Sidad written by Andrea SaldañA and published by Palibrio. This book was released on 2012-02 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sobre el libro El libro es una propuesta literaria, encaminada a visibilizar la perspectiva de género. Dentro de los cuentos hay reflexiones con y sin esta herramienta, transcurren en diversas épocas, con historias reales o ficticias, sobresale el anhelo por lo perdido o aún no encontrado, sea el amor, la responsabilidad, la respuesta a las controversias en temas relevantes. Encuentros y desencuentros de los amantes o situaciones de crisis, de agonía, de violencia, la mayoría desde la perspectiva de las vidas de las mujeres en cuyas aristas se adivina un sello que separa y atrae a los protagonistas en una cotidianidad, que a veces pasa desapercibida. Por ello su rescate, análisis lúdico y a veces sensual para ofrecer al lector la posibilidad de reflexión sobre las situaciones que impiden o favorecen los cambios culturales, dado que estos moldean el comportamiento de los personajes, que en mucho se parecen a los de la vida real. The book is a literary proposal to make visible a gender perspective. Within the stories there are reflections with and without this tool, elapse at different times, with real or fictitious stories, stands out the yearning for the lost or still not found, is love, responsibility, response to controversies in relevant topics. Encounters and misunderstandings of lovers, or crisis situations, of agony, of violence, the majority from the perspective of the lives of women, whose edges guess a seal that separates and attracts players in an everyday life that sometimes goes unnoticed. Therefore their rescue, playful and sometimes sensual analysis to provide the reader the possibility of reflection on situations that prevent or favour cultural changes, given that they shape the behavior of the characters, that greatly resemble real life.

Download or read book Carlota of the Rancho written by Evelyn Raymond and published by Library of Alexandria. This book was released on 2019-11-11 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “My head is in the United States and my feet are in Mexico!” cried Carlos sprawling at ease upon the sun-warmed grass. Whereupon Carlota, not to be outdone in anything, promptly rolled her plump little person over the sward until its length lay along a lime-line running due east and west across the plain. Her yellow curls touched her twin’s yet her body formed a right angle to his. Then she remarked: “Pooh! I’m better than that! My heart is in my own country and my—my— What is it that’s on the other side of you from your heart, brother?” “I don’t know. Maybe gizzard.” Carlota sat up, amazed and indignant. “Girls don’t have gizzards, Carlos Manuel. Only chickens and geeses and things like those. You haven’t paid attention when my father teached you.” Carlos laughed; so merrily and noisily that old Marta came to the door of the adobe house to see what was the fun. Nobody knew the housekeeper’s real age, it was so very great. None could remember things so far back as she, but she had ceased to count the years long, long ago, why not? What matter, if she still had the heart of a child, yes? Certainly, neither Carlos nor Carlota cared. To them she had never changed, either in appearance or kindness, and they found no birthdays worth remembering except their own. These only, probably, because of the gifts andfiestas then made upon the whole rancho. “Perhaps, I didn’t, little sister, but neither did you, or you’d never have said ‘geeses’ nor ‘teached’.” “Both of us was wrong, weren’t we?” returned the girl, with as fine a disregard of grammar as of ill temper. “We’ll be more ’tentive when our father comes home, won’t we? When will that be, Carlos?” It was a perplexing question, and the boy put it aside, as he put all difficulties, until a more convenient season. Crossing his arms above his head, he gazed unblinkingly upward into the brilliant sky, proposing: “Let’s find things in the clouds, Carlota. I see a ship, I do, truly. It’s just like the pictures in the books. All its sails are set and flying. Oh! can’t you see? Right there? There! It’s moving northward fast—fast! It might be the ship in which our father will come home.” He meant to comfort her, but Carlota would not look up. She could not. The sunbeams made prisms of the teardrops on her lashes and blinded her. She buried her face in the grass to escape these tiny “rainbows,” and all at once fell to sobbing bitterly. Carlos hated that. He hated anything dark or unhappy. He sat up and patted his sister’s shoulder, soothingly, entreating: “There, don’t! Don’t, girlie. Our father wouldn’t like it if he should come home now, this minute, and find you crying.” The words were magic. Carlota sprang to her feet and earnestly peered into the distance, crying: “Is he? Do you see him, brother? Do you?” Carlos, also, leaped up and threw his arm about her waist: “I didn’t say that, did I? I only said ‘if.’” “I don’t like ‘ifs,’” sobbed Carlota. “Oh, Carlota, don’t cry. You shall not. If you do I will go away myself, to the northwest, to find my father.” “Oh! let’s!” “I said ‘I.’ Not you. Girls never go anywhere, because they always cry. If it hadn’t been for that my father might have taken me with him. You see, he couldn’t take you, on account of it; and he couldn’t leave you at home with only Marta and the men, for then—that would make more tears. So I had to stay to take care of you, and I do think, if I were a girl, the very first thing I would do—I wouldn’t cry. Criers never have real good times, I guess.” This was logic, and from Carlos, whom Carlota idolized only less than their absent father, most convincing. She winked very fast and drew her sleeve across her eyes, to dry the drops which would not be shaken off.

Book excerpt: The perfect Christmas gift for the bookworm in your life. 'Beautiful and moving... It will kickstart a cascade of nostalgia for countless people' Marian Keyes When Lucy Mangan was little, stories were everything. They opened up different worlds and cast new light on this one. She was whisked away to Narnia - and Kirrin Island - and Wonderland. She ventured down rabbit holes and womble burrows into midnight gardens and chocolate factories. No wonder she only left the house for her weekly trip to the library. In Bookworm, Lucy brings the favourite characters of our collective childhoods back to life and disinters a few forgotten treasures poignantly, wittily using them to tell her own story, that of a born, and unrepentant, bookworm. 'Passionate, witty, informed, and gloriously opinionated' Jacqueline Wilson 'A deliciously nostalgic treat' Good Housekeeping 'Lucy Mangan has enough comic energy to power the National Grid' The Spectator

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the prize-winning Chilean novelist Antonio Skármeta, author of Il Postino, comes this soulful novella about a son and his estranged father Jacques is a schoolteacher in a small Chilean village, and a French translator for the local paper. He owes his passion for the French language to his Parisian father, Pierre, who, one year before, abruptly returned to France without a word of explanation. Jacques and his mother's sense of abandonment is made more acute by their isolation in this small community where few read or think. While Jacques finds distraction in a crush on his student's older sister, his preoccupation with his father's disappearance continues to haunt him. But there is often more to a story than the torment it causes. This one is about forgiveness and second chances.

Download or read book The Days of the Rainbow written by Antonio Skarmeta and published by Other Press, LLC. This book was released on 2013-05-21 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nico, the son of a noted Chilean philosophy professor, witnesses his father’s arrest while he is teaching a class. Bettini, the father of Nico’s best friend, is a leftist advertising executive who has been blacklisted and is out of work after having been imprisoned and tortured by Pinochet’s police. This doesn’t stop the ministry of the interior from asking Bettini, who is the best in the business, to come up with a plan for the upcoming referendum designed to say “yes” to Pinochet’s next term. But just hours after he has been approached by the right, the head of the opposition makes him the exact same offer. What is Bettini going to do? Put his life on the line or sacrifice his political convictions? Finally he goes with the left. The next hurdle is finding a slogan that would be approved by the sixteen factions that comprise the opposition and who never agree on anything. Whiskey after whiskey, an idea finally emerges. This is a vivacious tale that examines how advertising and politics come together during the Pinochet regime. But this is also a coming-of-age story where we see through Nico’s experience what it means to grow up in a country where nothing is allowed and almost any move can feel like an earnest act of resistance.
