Book excerpt: Miel y Canela surge de la necesidad de soltar al viento, el amor que se lleva dentro del corazón; y de plasmar en letras el sentimiento que día a día, brota a borbotones y se precisa encausar de alguna manera. Y así, entrelazando el amor y la pasión, nacen los versos de estos poemas; sin horizontes ni fronteras, para poder trascender libremente, al corazón de quien los lee. Poemas "cocinados" a fuego lento, que intentan cautivar y seducir con sus líneas, la atención y sensibilidad del lector, transmitiéndole a través de sus palabras, sentimientos verdaderos, expuestos a flor de piel, y que afloran desde lo profundo, de un corazón... enamorado.
Download or read book We Are All Made of Stars written by Rowan Coleman and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2016-07-26 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Fans of Jojo Moyes will love We Are All Made of Stars” (Good Housekeeping). “A beautiful web of a book” (Jodi Picoult), this life-affirming novel tells an unforgettable story about second chances, the power of words, and the resilience of the heart. A dedicated nurse, Stella finds comfort at the hospice where she works the late shift, especially since her husband returned from Afghanistan—cold, distant, and shattered by painful memories he refuses to share. The hospice at night is another world, where the dying receive closure by creating the letters that Stella helps them write. The pages are filled with love and humor, sometimes regret, and, occasionally, even instructions for a perplexed husband on how to run appliances. There’s one rule: The letters are mailed only after the patient has passed. Suddenly Stella is faced with a dilemma: A woman under her care, Grace, has written a confession to the son she abandoned many years before. The letter clearly needs to be read before Grace dies. But if Stella mails it now, she breaks the rule—and risks tampering not only with Grace’s wishes but also with fate. Navigating passion and grief, loyalty and loss, and a marriage threatened by silence and secrets, Stella discovers that letters hold a special power: granting solace, saving memories, nurturing relationships. As the words endure, love redeems. Praise for We Are All Made of Stars “A beautiful web of a book that reminds us of how we are all connected, and how to die—and live—without regrets. Is that a tear in my eye? No, that’s a tear in your eye.”—Jodi Picoult, New York Times bestselling author of Leaving Time and The Storyteller “We Are All Made of Stars will break your heart and put the pieces back together—fans of Jojo Moyes’s Me Before You, this one is right up your alley.”—Refinery29 “Coleman uses several voices and perspectives to turn a potentially dark story into one filled with light. Fans of Jojo Moyes will love this beautifully written, deeply engaging novel that understands death and celebrates life.” —Booklist (starred review) “A powerful, emotional read.”—RT Reviews “Fans of Jojo Moyes will love We Are All Made of Stars.”—Good Housekeeping “Coleman has written a poignant story that examines the value of life, love, and forgiveness. . . . A tear-jerking but ultimately uplifting story.”—Kirkus Reviews

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Esta novela está basada en la vida real de una persona, la que al igual que su hermano y sus padres se encontraron con que el destino les tenía una encrucijada de cambios en sus vidas. Desterrados por motivos de la guerra civil en su natal España, ella y su familia huyen y en ello les va separarse por caminos diferente. Zarpando rumbo a América. Ya estando cercanos a su destino, el barco naufragó y ella junto con su madre lograron llegar a tierras mexicanas. Su padre y su hermano a tierras guatemaltecas. Es aquí donde empieza para ella una nueva vida, con cambios inesperados y no siempre felices. La manera en que el destino la separó de sus padres y de su hermano la puso en una posición muy vulnerable, pero encontró en una familia de buen corazón el amor y protección que la vida le había quitado. Los hilos que el destino tejió alrededor de su vida la llevaron a situaciones desgarradoras. En el transcurso de todos estos acontecimientos tuvo felicidad y amor, pues encontró a su esposo, quien le dio una familia que es la que hasta la fecha la tiene de pie. Hay que remarcar que a lo largo de su vida, en cada pérdida tenida, el cielo borraba las estrellas del firmamento, como queriendo decirle que también estaba de luto y la cobijaba en su manto de la noche oscura.

Download or read book Impresiones a Colores written by Xelhua RodÉ and published by Palibrio. This book was released on 2012-08 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Impresiones a Colores son una serie de relatos que compendian veinte años de la vida del autor y que, mediante la secuencia no cronológica expone las realidades sociales y culturales que se concretan en la comunidad mexicana; el autor hace un recorrido atrevido expresando con libertad poética, las sensaciones que le transcurren; en algunos momentos se declara dadaísta y surrealista. Como Tzara balbucea los sonidos en el intento de la experiencia cero o Kandinsky se pierde en el caballete. La vida cotidiana le permite al autor inventarse y recrear mediante ejercicios de narrativa, de versificación, destacar los problemas sociales y la importancia de la vida en familia. El libro intenta acercarse al lector en un viaje sincrético, volátil y sensacional que le permiten al autor construir un enfoque de vida diaria grandemente enriquecido por la cotidianeidad, el amor a su familia y a su única hija, -que estuvo a punto de perder- hacen un vuelco fundamental que describe las Líneas de Tiempo y su entorno vital. Es una obra provocadora que más allá de la exposición de personajes y aventuras relatadas, desencadena quizá al análisis posterior de la realidad, oponerse al positivismo todavía vigente en algunos contextos.
