El asesinato de Federico García Lorca (1898-1936) fijó la imagen de La casa de Bernarda Alba como la obra máxima de toda una dramaturgia. Con este drama en que unos personajes y un espacio se encadenan con suprema maestría a una pasión estéril -el amor no conseguido- cuya liberación sacrificial es la muerte, el poeta granadino llegó, en efecto, a una cumbre similar a la alcanzada por las más grandes creaciones del teatro clásico y contemporáneo. Mario Hernández fija rigurosamente en la presente edición el texto de esta tragedia en la que la tiranía de unas normas sociales opresoras, encarnadas en Bernarda Alba, sofoca de forma implacable el deseo y el ansia de libertad.

Esta obra es una tragedia en tres actos del escritor español Federico García Lorca, escrita en 1936, poco antes de su ejecución. Tras la muerte de su segundo marido, Bernarda Alba impone un luto riguroso a sus cinco hijas, que en su vida han tenido apenas contacto con el sexo opuesto. Cuando la hija mayor hereda una gran fortuna atrae a un pretendiente (Pepe el Romano), celos y pasiones se desatan en la casa llevando finalmente a un final trágico: Adela, la más joven, no quiere someterse a la voluntad de su madre y mantiene relaciones sexuales con Pepe. Descubierta por su celosa hermana Martirio que inmediatamente grita para que venga Bernarda, se cuelga pensando que su amado ha sido asesinado por la madre, no sin antes romper su bastón, simbolizando su rebeldía.

Federico Garcia Lorca encontro en el teato un medio privilegiado para la manifestacion de su mundo interior. En La casa de Bernarda Alba se desarrolla el conflicto entre dos fuerzas mayores: el principio de autoridad ciega, con su secuela de orden y poder, y el principio de la libertad instintiva en su lucha imposible y permanente por imponerse. Un tragica vision del alma humana universal, de la sociedad y, como prefiguracion genial, de la realidad espanola de 1936.

Como Los Hispanos Estan Transformando la Politica en Los Estados Unidos

En las elecciones del 2004, hubo 3 millones más votantes hispanos que en el año 2000. Los hispanos pusieron al presidente George W. Bush en la Casa Blanca en el 2000 y luego lo reeligieron en el 2004. Es imposible ignorar una influencia tan grande y un voto tan importante. El cambio más dramático que está viviendo este país no tiene nada que ver con la guerra contra el terrorismo o con la economía; tiene que ver, simplemente, con la revolución demográfi ca impulsada por los latinos. Es la Ola Latina. En el 2002 los latinos se convirtieron, ofi cialmente, en el grupo minoritario más grande de Estados Unidos, superando los 38 millones de habitantes, cosa que no se esperaba que ocurriera hasta dentro de una década más. Para el año 2125 habrá más latinos que blancos (no hispanos) en Estados Unidos. Es decir, los hispanos pasarán de minoría a mayoría. Basándose en entrevistas con los más reconocidos expertos en temas latinos y con hispanos que viven a lo largo y ancho de los Estados Unidos, Ramos intenta descifrar lo que signifi ca este sorprendente cambio demográfi co para todos los norteamericanos, hispanos o no, tanto en su vida diaria como en su cultura. Con el profesionalismo, precisión, y sensibilidad que lo caracteriza, Ramos nos muestra quienes son, exactamente, estos nuevos americanos, cuáles son sus intereses políticos y por qué es importante que el resto del país se preocupe por entender lo que es la "experiencia latina". Quien ignore el reto de los latinos, corre el riesgo de darle la espalda al futuro de Estados Unidos.

"La dama del alba", estrenada en 1944, es una de las piezas más representativas de Alejandro Casona. Vista en su conjunto es una obra esencialmente poética en la que se funden aires de leyenda asturianos y ciertos toques de mitología telúrica para desarrollar el tema tan universal de la muerte.

The Inspiring True Story of How an Absolutely Crazy Idea Led to One Very Big, Happy Family

A powerful memoir about the joys and pains of making a family.
In 2008, Ann and Dan made the life-altering decision to start a family. In their mid-forties and inspired by various stories that they had heard, the couple decided to adopt special needs children through foster care. Not wanting to separate siblings, Ann and Dan's family eventually grows to seven, first with the adoption of Jimmy and Ruby, and then Jason, Susie, and Anthony.
 

But, the transition was not without its challenges. The children, aged five to ten years old, had been neglected, abused, and diagnosed with behavioral, cognitive, medical, and psychiatric conditions, none of which could be treated medically. Their first months in their new home were intense, overwhelming, and on occasion, violent. With numerous outbursts and incidents, Ann and Dan's patience and resolve were constantly tested. But slowly, when surrounded with stability, warmth, compassion, and love, the children settled in and became a family.
 

Poignant and heartfelt, We Adopted Five Special-Needs Foster Kids is for any reader who has ever been part of a family.

The Untold Story of Maui's Sugar Ditch Kids and Their Quest for Olympic Glory

The New York Times bestselling inspirational story of impoverished children who transformed themselves into world-class swimmers.

In 1937, a schoolteacher on the island of Maui challenged a group of poverty-stricken sugar plantation kids to swim upstream against the current of their circumstance. The goal? To become Olympians.

They faced seemingly insurmountable obstacles. The children were Japanese-American and were malnourished and barefoot. They had no pool; they trained in the filthy irrigation ditches that snaked down from the mountains into the sugarcane fields. Their future was in those same fields, working alongside their parents in virtual slavery, known not by their names but by numbered tags that hung around their necks. Their teacher, Soichi Sakamoto, was an ordinary man whose swimming ability didn't extend much beyond treading water.

In spite of everything, including the virulent anti-Japanese sentiment of the late 1930s, in their first year the children outraced Olympic athletes twice their size; in their second year, they were national and international champs, shattering American and world records and making headlines from L.A. to Nazi Germany. In their third year, they'd be declared the greatest swimmers in the world. But they'd also face their greatest obstacle: the dawning of a world war and the cancellation of the Games. Still, on the battlefield, they'd become the 20th century's most celebrated heroes, and in 1948, they'd have one last chance for Olympic glory.

They were the Three-Year Swim Club. This is their story.

#paperback #historicalfiction #flanders #stronggirl


A feast of a medieval adventure with a thoroughly modern heroine.

As the murmur of prayers fills the icy room, mother and baby seem doomed. When the newborn finally struggles into the world, the Count of Flanders flees in a rage. The child is not the expected male heir -- but a girl.

Growing up under the disapproving eye of her heartless father, the strong-willed Marguerite instinctively learns to survive in the fierce and violent male world of the Middle Ages, with its pagan rituals and bloody fights to the death.

When her father demands that she wed a man she detests, the young countess uses all her cunning to stop the marriage. The only thing she cannot conquer is the plague, which marches across the land killing thousands, including the man she loves.

Based on a real character, this colorful story is told with sharp humor and is filled with dramatic intensity. The final scene in the book, in which Marguerite and her father engage in a savage sword fight, will remain engrained in readers' memories.

"Winner of six major European awards, this is a brilliantly written book, with a feisty narrator and sharp sense of humour -- the medieval world was seldom more alive."
-- girl.com.au


"Dramatic in . . . a masterly way. Power and temperament give the tale conviction, far away from mere medieval setting and brave historical obligingness."
-- Die Zeit
