Par Leila Guerriero. 2020
"In the late 1990s, a wave of suicides rocked Las Heras, a small oil town in the province of Santa…
Cruz. Most of the dead were around twenty-five years old and were typical inhabitants of the town, children of modest but traditional families. However, the official list of these suicides was never drawn up. Leila Guerriero traveled to this desolate Patagonian spot, talked to the families and friends of the suicides, walked the same streets and visited every corner of the town. The result is this stark and precise account that not only reconstructs the tragic episodes of those years but also magnificently depicts the daily life of a community far from the big cities. Las Heras, with its wave of unemployment and lack of future for young people, is an enigma whose resolution is far from definitive: suicides, like a dismal destiny, followed one another for a long time. This is a disturbing chronicle that reads with fascination and unveils a reality marked by horror, prejudice and indifference." -- Amazon.comQuebrantamiento: cuando Díos convíerte la presión en poder

Par Leire Quintana. 2016
"Leire Quintana decided to leave her life in a big city behind, retreat to a monastery, and learn to listen…
to her own song. How did this experience change the way she saw the world? What life lessons did she learn? Leire Quintana has a lot to tell us: 'I was overwhelmed by the thought of losing my family or friends, and even the impossibility of making new friends because I was in a cloistered monastery. Later I came to recognize that without solitude, the solitude of my cell, I could not progress. [...] Little by little I discovered the causes, the hidden needs that I hadn't known how to manage, I questioned my fears, I embraced them and I knew, by offering them my attention, that that was all they needed to disappear.'" -- Translation provided by NLSA statistician and medical doctor believes most people hold mistaken ideas unsupported by facts about global issues such as poverty,…

Par Elizabeth Duval. 2020
"As a student of Modern Philosophy and Literature in Paris, the writer and activist Elizabeth Duval (Alcalá de Henares, 2000)…
starts a diary that inevitably ends up transforming her reality, mediated by a kind of fictional conception of her own existence. With an exceptional talent to make her prose converse with the history of ideas, thus proposing an interesting device for intellectual stimulation, throughout Queen numerous issues circulate that zigzag between public and private spheres. Among its themes, the following stand out: university life as an initiation to maturity, politics under late capitalism, and post-adolescent love from a perspective that goes beyond all our expectations on the subject and sublimates it in a reflection on affections and desire as universal as radically new." -- Provided by publisherIn vitro (Ensayo (Editorial Almadía))
Par Isabel Zapata. 2021
"In vitro is a pregnancy essay. On the page, the writing gropes its way through unexplored territory. In the laboratory,…
under the watchful eye of the microscope, fertilization is also rehearsed. Pregnancy and writing take place on that threshold of possibilities. In this book, Isabel Zapata shines a light--or a lens--on an experience that seems to exist in a tiny darkness. While life makes its way in a Petri dish, the author poses questions that reveal the rawness of a treatment marked by uncertainty: How is the desire to be a mother articulated? Is there really a resolved mourning? With what voice does what we keep silent speak? Who breaks in childbirth? In In vitro the hidden is revealed as a daughter begins to take shape." -- Translation provided by NLSBelleza en lugar de cenizas: cómo recibir sanidad emocional
Par Joyce Meyer. 2012
"Many people seem to have it all together outwardly, but inside they are a wreck. Their past has broken, crushed,…
and wounded them inwardly. They can be healed. God has a plan, and Isaiah 61 reveals that the Lord came to heal the brokenhearted. He wants to heal victims of abuse and emotional wounding. Joyce Meyer is a victim of the physical, mental, emotional, and sexual abuse she suffered as a child. Yet today she has a nationwide ministry of emotional healing to others like herself. In |Beauty for Ashes| she outlines major truths that brought healing in her life and describes how other victims of abuse can also experience God's healing in their lives. Joyce Meyer suffered for thirty-three years the devastating effects of abuse. Now God has exchanged her ashes for beauty and called her to help others allow Him to do the same for them." -- GoodreadsJulia de Burgos: la creación de un ícono Puertorriqueño
Par Vanessa Pérez Rosario. 2022
"Vanessa Pérez-Rosario examines poet and political activist Julia de Burgos's development as a writer, her experience of migration, and her…
legacy in New York City, the poet's home after 1940. Pérez-Rosario situates Julia de Burgos as part of a transitional generation that helps to bridge the historical divide between Puerto Rican nationalist writers of the 1930s and the Nuyorican writers of the 1970s. Becoming Julia de Burgos departs from the prevailing emphasis on the poet and intellectual as a nationalist writer to focus on her contributions to New York Latino/a literary and visual culture. It moves beyond the standard tragedy-centered narratives of de Burgos's life to place her within a nuanced historical understanding of Puerto Rico's peoples and culture to consider more carefully the complex history of the island and the diaspora. Pérez-Rosario unravels the cultural and political dynamics at work when contemporary Latina/o writers and artists in New York revise, reinvent, and riff off of Julia de Burgos as they imagine new possibilities for themselves and their communities." -- GoodreadsPostales (Otramina)

"In Postcards, winner of the 2009 Salomé Ureña National Poetry Award, Frank Báez wanders through cities, emotions and diverse poetic…
registers in a kind of metaphysical journey that traces a cartography not only of his soul, but also of the contemporary world. From a Santo Domingo that seems to set sail or a Chicago that sinks little by little in the snow, Báez sends us his postcards in the form of poems. Postcards captivates us, makes us laugh, reflect and cry." -- Translation provided by NLSTun-ta-ca-tun: more stories and poems in English and Spanish for children

Self. Between stories, inspiring reflections and revelations, we are immersed in a sea of possibilities for our evolution and freedom as people, as Souls. This interesting and unique compilation of ideas, narratives and affirmations takes us down shadowy paths, where we are encouraged to confront the learned and the intuitive, to visit ourselves without being sly. Luis Felipe, anxious to "see" new seeds germinate on the fertile surface of the conscience of all those who are not afraid to evolve, offers us several paths. His firm, palpable push invites us to explore with curiosity an infinite and permanent reality. A provocative invitation to enjoy his astonishing worldview and life perspective." -- Translation provided by NLSEste es el futuro que estabas esperando (Biblioteca breve (Bogotá, Colombia))

Par Eduardo Lalo. 2019
"In |The Invisible Countries|, Eduardo Lalo undertakes a narrative and philosophical journey through Europe. With a hybrid discourse that nimbly…
accommodates the travel diary, the chronicle and the philosophical essay, the author develops an ex-centric vision that, far from the cliché of Third World victimization, undertakes a conceptual counter-conquest of the West. Thus, 'writing from invisibility', writing from the dark side of geography enhances a unique vision of the West, that Other whose myopia prevents it from recognizing 'the fiction of its invention, its laws and its grandiloquence'. In this text, the author forges new discursive possibilities for the inhabitants of 'peripheral' geographies to assume their cultural destiny freed from the gazes that often deform or deny them." -- Translation provided by NLSSolito
Par Javier Zamora. 2022
"Trip. My parents started using that word about a year ago" one day, you'll take a trip to be with…
us. Like an adventure.' Javier Zamora's adventure is a three-thousand-mile journey from his small town in El Salvador, through Guatemala and Mexico, and across the U.S. border. He will leave behind his beloved aunt and grandparents to reunite with a mother who left four years ago and a father he barely remembers. Traveling alone amid a group of strangers and a "coyote" hired to lead them to safety, Javier expects his trip to last two short weeks. At nine years old, all Javier can imagine is rushing into his parents' arms, snuggling in bed between them, and living under the same roof again. He cannot foresee the perilous boat trips, relentless desert treks, pointed guns, arrests and deceptions that await him; nor can he know that those two weeks will expand into two life-altering months alongside fellow migrants who will come to encircle him like an unexpected family. A memoir as gripping as it is moving, Solito provides an immediate and intimate account not only of a treacherous and near-impossible journey, but also of the miraculous kindness and love delivered at the most unexpected moments. Solito is Javier Zamora's story, but it's also the story of millions of others who had no choice but to leave home." -- Provided by publisherTú, contigo y por ti: Espabila y cáete bien

Este libro solo es un libro, pero quizá es también el impulso que necesitas. Quiero que veas que otro tú…

Par Fumio Sasaki. 2018
Del autor del bestseller internacional Goodbye, Things, llega un nuevo fenómeno: una guía que nos ayudará a adoptar nuevos hábitos…
y a convertirnos en la mejor versión de nosotros mismos. Fumio Sasaki cambió su vida cuando se convirtió en minimalista, pero antes que nada tuvo que convertirlo en un hábito. Todos nosotros vivimos nuestras vidas basándonos en los hábitos que hemos ido formando, desde el momentoen que nos levantamos por la mañana hasta lo que comemos y bebemos o la probabilidad de que lleguemos a ir o no al gimnasio. En Buenos hábitos, Sasaki nos explica cómo podemos adquirir los nuevos hábitos que queremos y, lo más importante, cómo deshacernos de aquellos que no nos hacen ningún bien. Basándose en las principales teorías sobre la ciencia de la formación de hábitos de la psicología cognitiva, la neurociencia y la sociología,junto con ejemplos de la cultura popular y las técnicas experimentadas por el propio autor, Fumio Sasaki desentraña las percepciones erróneas y comunes sobre conceptos como «fuerza de voluntad» y «talento», ofreciendo una guía paso a paso hacia el equilibrio y el éxito, una serie de principios para crear unos buenos hábitos para mejorar y cambiar nuestra vida. La crítica ha dicho...«Una guía práctica que ofrece una metodología para desarrollar hábitos útiles y saludables. A aquellos a los que se les haga difícil establecer una rutina les encantará el método Sasaki.»Publishers Weekly«Solo diré que hoy mismo comienzo con un par de hábitos que, después de reflexionar, creo que van a ser beneficiosos para mi vida. ¡Muy recomendado!»Aytaragc, BabelioNadie se arrepiente de ser valiente
Par Virginia Torrecilla. 2023
UNA VERDADERA LECCIÓN DE PASIÓN Y CORAJE DE UNA DE LAS FUTBOLISTAS MÁS QUERIDAS DE ESTE PAÍS «¿Qué es un…
tumor en el cerebelo? ¿Qué tengo que hacer? ¿Volveré a jugar?». Esas fueron las primeras preguntas que se le pasaron por la mente a la exitosa futbolista Virginia Torrecilla al recibir los resultados de las pruebas que le habían realizado a raíz de un persistente dolor de cabeza. Era el año 2020 y, aunque ella entonces no lo sabía, su vida acababa de cambiar para siempre.Desde sus primeros años en Mallorca, cuando su abuela la tenía que sacar a la fuerza del campo de fútbol en el que destacaba por encima de cualquier niño, hasta los momentos que marcaron el principio de una nueva era en el fútbol femenino en España o el día en que le detectaron un tumor cerebral que debía ser operado con urgencia, en este libro Virginia Torrecilla nos habla con el corazón en la mano de los sueños, de la incertidumbre, del cáncer, de la importancia del compañerismo, del miedo a la muerte, del regalo de estar viva… Y, principalmente, nos habla de superación, de esa capacidad que tiene el ser humano para seguir adelante día tras día pese a las mayores dificultades. Porque, como dice la propia Virginia, no nacemos valientes, el valiente se construye ante la adversidad. Reseñas: «Este libro que tienes en las manos no es un libro cualquiera, es más bien una sumade momentos que te harán reír, pensar, recordar, sentir e incluso llorar».DEL PRÓLOGO DE ALEXIA PUTELLAS «En estas páginas habéis descubierto el relatode unapersona que no ha tenido problema en plantarle cara a lavida una y otra vez, en reinventarse y seguir adelante».DEL EPÍLOGO DE NAHIKARI GARCÍA PÉREZ
