Par José Ignacio Valenzuela. 2022
"Angela has decided to listen to her heart. She has decided to stay in Almahue to love Fabian without fear,…
without the curse of Malamor on her shoulders. Fabian will no longer have to resort to those concoctions that only momentarily relieved the terrible pains that the spell (now just a bad memory) provoked in the lovers. A miraculous recovery of the tree, that tree that every day dried up a little more, seems to announce that Almahue will finally be able to continue his story in peace and tranquility. However, a mysterious stranger appears in the picture and there is something about her that is tremendously disturbing. Perhaps the time has come for Rayen to take revenge. She is eager to take action.... Will she be able to destroy Almahue to keep the promise she made many, many years ago in front of the church where Ernesto betrayed his promise to love her until the end of time? Will she also end the love story between Angela and Fabian?" -- Translation provided by NLSEl árbol de la vida (Trilogía del Malamor #03)
Par José Ignacio Valenzuela. 2022
"The third book of the Malamor Trilogy concludes the stories of Angela, Rayen and the peculiar village of Almahue and…
its hapless inhabitants, condemned to suffer from the curse of Malamor. With the village destroyed by a devastating earthquake and Fabián at the bottom of the earth, Ángela will go underground because she has decided that, although her life will be spent trying to rescue her lover from the bottom of the earth, she will never again allow disgrace or misfortune to separate them. Perhaps times have changed and that tree in the center of Almahue's square, a symbol of bad love, now lies as a corpse of branches and roots as dry as the sands of a desert. That can only herald a transformation, the end of an era. The time has also come for explanations, and Rosa will reveal something of that past that she jealously guards: a new legend. And Angela will have to find the strength to confront Rayén and the Decapitator in a journey through time and Chilean geography." -- Translation provided by NLSAguas de estuario

"In these letters, Velia Vidal recounts her wanderings since she returned to the Chocó region of Colombia, to the Pacific…
Ocean, and devoted herself to the promotion of reading and culture.

sisters who long ago unknowingly started a story filled with passion and death.... The prequel to the Malamor Trilogy has arrived: a novel of fantasy and hope. With totally opposite personalities, each one of these sisters journeys down paths and rabbit holes to the ends of the earth in search of a place to live, a place they only arrive at after a journey that takes them centuries to complete. They also say that all myths are like a tree of life, because their branches and fruit indelibly transform those who dare to come close. Will Rose and Rayén change the path of their own destiny? Will they be able to survive in that world where the sun and moon are the root of the evil that afflicts them?" -- GoodreadsHacia el fin del mundo (Trilogía del Malamor #01)

Par Eduardo Lalo. 2019
"The winds are not random, even if they are a manifestation of chaos. I have decided to take advantage of…
them to "organize" this book that gathers a public activity apparently removed from the intimate writing workshop. None of these texts would have been written if someone had not requested them. The interventions of others created these interventions and opened for me an alternate stage for the rigors of thought. For many years, he was a studio writer, but this that the reader now receives is live writing, performance, singer-songwriter text. A writer bent on the discipline of brevity, he has produced an extensive book, which is nevertheless a collection of small pieces. The winds have engendered this daily life of letters and the winds, capricious and determining, have dictated the order of the texts that are grouped in three parts. All of them include lectures, columns, letters, pleadings and other materials, in a succession in which the chronologies have been altered. I thank readers (and, in due course, listeners) for their interest in and reception of this staged art of writing." -- Translation provided by NLSFludd
Par Hilary Mantel. 2018

Hilary Mantel's most original works. Fetherhoughton is a dreary town in 1950s northern England. Father Angwin has lost his faith. Sister Philomena strains against convent life. The inhabitants of the town go about their lives in a haze. Then a stranger appears, bringing with him the hint of something new. But who is Fludd?

Par Octavio Paz. 1997
"Octavio Paz has written one of the most enduring and powerful works ever created on Mexico and its people, character,…
and culture. Compared to Ortega y Gasset's for its trenchant analysis, this collection contains Octavio Paz' most famous work, a beautifully written and deeply felt discourse on Mexico's quest for identity that gives us an unequaled look at the country hidden behind the mask. Also included are Postscript, Return to the Labyrinth of Solitude, and Mexico and the United States, all of which develop the themes of the title essay and extend his penetrating commentary to the United States and Latin America." -- GoodreadsEl caso de la dama zurda (Enola Holmes mystery. Spanish #02)
Par Nancy Springer. 2018
"London, 1889. Eluding her brothers Mycroft and Sherlock Holmes, fourteen-year-old Enola sets up her own detective agency in London under…

"In this revised and expanded edition of |Strange Fruit|, Leila Guerriero shows us the most sensitive, vigorous and throbbing face…
of a profession that is going through difficult times and works the miracle of making us believe in the profession of journalism again. The articles collected in this book, written between 2001 and 2019, constitute a master class in journalism, show the world from a unique, intense and different perspective, and have the capacity to knock the reader out." -- Translation provided by NLS"Over the last decade, intermittent fasting-restricting calorie intake for a proscribed number of hours for a set number of days-has…
become increasingly popular. While some in the medical community initially dismissed the idea as a dangerous fad, in recent years researchers have validated the safety of fasting for weight loss, and found compelling evidence that it offers wide-ranging health benefits, including lowering blood pressure; reducing risk factors for diabetes, cancer, and other diseases; promoting longevity; and increasing cognitive function. However, many people aren't sure how to incorporate fasting into their daily routine. What are best practices? Do you need to fast every day? What do you eat on non-fasting days? How can you fast when your family doesn't? What if you're a person who gets hungry after not eating for a few hours? In this essential guide, Dr. Jason Fung, Megan Ramos, and Eve Mayer address common questions and offer practical advice for integrating beneficial periods of food restriction into daily life. They set three initial goals: Start Your Fasting Engine, Find Your Fasting Lane, and Win the Race. Each goal is broken down into ten manageable steps that can be taken at your individual pace. Love breakfast? Then it may take a little while to get used to not eating it. Already skip it? Jump ahead to restricting lunch. Fung, Ramos, and Mayer know every person's physiological and psychological response to food restriction is different, and they're here to help you find the tools and strategies that will work best for your life." -- GoodreadsPor favor, rebobinar
Par Alberto Fuguet. 2012
"Connecting directly with Generation Ñ, the second novel by Fuguet runs at a breakneck speed. It sometimes feels more like…
a video clip than a conventional novel. Fuguet tells stories with a common background of adolescence, of sex, drugs, and rock n roll. At the high speed that this novel is narrated, it questions the present from the perspective of diverse protagonists--men and women living a doubtful and strange modernity; in this sense, |Please, Rewind| is a great chronicle of our times." -- Amazon.comSeñales que precederán al fin del mundo
