Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Primero pensamos que podríamos dar la vuelta al mundo en 4 años. Luego nos convencimos que la terminaríamos en 7. Cuando llegamos al sexto año de viaje, creímos que diez era buen número, un número redondo. En junio del 2014 cumplimos 10 años viviendo en la ruta. Y todavía nos queda mucho planeta... "...Jamás olvidaré el lunes que apoyé el cañón de una pistola en mi cabeza y disparé hasta quedarme sin balas, sin detenerme a pensar en lo que hacía para no darle otra oportunidad al arrepentimiento. Era la renuncia a un trabajo fijo, la despedida a un futuro previsible, la jubilación de la seguridad. Pasaban diez minutos de las diez de la mañana y mis últimas palabras decían, más o menos, 'quédense ustedes con el muerto que yo me largo'. Mi cuerpo se desplomó y yo salí por la puerta..." La vuelta al mundo en 10 años: El libro de la independencia es la historia de un sueño, de cómo un día dos personas normales deciden renunciar a la doble vida que nos arrastra a hacer los fines de semana todo lo que nos hubiera gustado vivir de lunes a viernes. Y es el relato de los caminos accidentados de Babel, un viaje por algunas de las peores rutas del mundo en una furgoneta 4×4 transformada en una casa con ruedas. Sin baño, sin ducha, sin patrocinadores, sin hoteles, sin teléfono y sin Automóvil Club. El camino proveerá es una declaración de intenciones optimista. Bueno, optimista optimista. Están decididos a 'completar' la vuelta al mundo en 10 años y, posiblemente, inventarse cualquier excusa después para seguir en movimiento.' Revista Lonely Planet, España 'Vivir han vivido de todo, desde un ataque de elefantes por acercarse demasiado a una manada con crías a persecuciones con tiros en Etiopía.' Telediario 2, Televisión Española 'Hace dos horas que no paro de leer tus historias. Tamaña cachetada me has dado esta mañana de sábado. Mi señora llegó del supermercado y acaba de regañarme pues no hice la comida ni le preparé el desayuno a mi hijo. Y acá estoy, intentando recuperarme del golpe. Gracias hermano, Dios te bendiga.' Che Toba, Argentina 'Cuando leí La vuelta al mundo en 80 días de Julio Verne tomé mi mochila y anduve unos meses vagando. Ahora que leí 'El Libro de la Independencia' quiero comprar un furgón 4x4 y llegar a la Patagonia.' Genaro Herrera, México 'El Libro de la Independencia es capaz de despertar la magia de un fuelle soplando en las ascuas de los sueños más locos. No se trata de qué vas a hacer cuando te retires, sino de lo que vas a hacer antes de morir.' Chris Collard, Revista Overland Journal, Estados Unidos 'Muchas veces cuento que en Ecuador conocí a dos que viajaban por el mundo en una furgo desde hacía casi 10 años. Lo cuento como algo natural, como una anecdotita digamos. Pero la verdad, si me paro un segundo a pensar, o sea a racionalizar el hecho de que existan personas con historias de vida como la de ustedes, ahí me doy cuenta de que es algo increíble, es un milagro, una maravilla, algo extraordinario de verdad.' Lucho Orlievsky, Argentina '¡Estamos disfrutando mucho vuestro libro! Es muy divertido leer acerca del viaje por lugares de Egipto que visitamos el año pasado. Las historias son hermosas y realmente capturan el espíritu del viaje por carretera.' Roseann Hanson, Overland Expo, Estados Unidos '¡Gracias! Siempre sentiré que el viaje que están compartiendo es el que me impulsó a comprar un pasaje a mi nueva vida.'

The Book of Independence is the story of a dream, of how one day two normal people decided to declare their independence and give up that double life that makes us do on the weekends what we would like to do Monday through Friday. It is also the story of Babel's back country, a journey through some of the world's worst roads with a 4×4 truck transformed into a house on wheels. There is no bathroom, no shower, no sponsors, no hotels, no phone and no Auto Club. "The road will provide" is a statement of optimistic intent. Well, optimistic optimism. "The Book of Independence works its magic like a bellows on the embers of wanderlust, inspiring us to break away from the norm, to slow down and smell the proverbial roses... or cow or elephant dung. It's not about what you'll do after you retire, it's about what you do before you die."Chris Collard, Chief Editor of Overland Journal Magazine, United States "They're intent on completing their round the world trip in 10 years and, possibly, to invent whatever excuse afterwards to remain in motion."Lonely Planet Magazine "They've lived through everything... from elephant attacks provoked by getting too close to a herd with calves to getting shot at in Ethiopia."TVE, Spanish Television "We are very much enjoying your book! Your stories really capture what overlanding is all about. Thank you!"Roseann Hanson, Overland Expo founder, Arizona, United States "Pablo and Anna are genuine. Their vision is a simple one, without pretense, that offers the rest of us the option to attain our own dreams, no matter how deep. Pablo y Anna, bravo y buena ruta."Cemil Alyanak, Excess Noise, Washington DC, United States "When I pick up a book, I hope that the pages that are about to reach my eyes are ones of treasure, ones of inspiration. I want to be transported into the world of the writer as they share their story through their mesmerizing words, those of wisdom, strife, and adventure. Reading a title such as this already takes you to the front step, and Pablo Rey's enchanting tale does the rest. You hear of so many stories about the race to travel and it leaves you wondering... What happens when you stop running and just be? To take a whole adventure, and make it your whole life? The definition of 'exploring' doesn't even begin to cover it. Pablo takes you through a whole new transformation into a world that the English language barely has words to define. I can only imagine what it would be like to be a fly in Pablo's brain as his words are so artistically magical, that it is impossible not to whisk you away into this alternate universe."Sarah Blessington, Exploring Elements AROUND THE WORLD IN 10 YEARS CONTINUES AT WWW.VIAJEROS4X4X4.COM
Book Synopsis Until Tuesday by : Luis Carlos Montalvan
Download or read book Until Tuesday written by Luis Carlos Montalvan and published by Hachette Books. This book was released on 2011-05-03 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A heartwarming dog story like no other: Tuesday, a lovable golden retriever, changes a former soldier’s life forever. A highly decorated captain in the U.S. Army, Luis Montalván never backed down from a challenge during his two tours of duty in Iraq. After returning home from combat, however, his physical wounds and crippling post-traumatic stress disorder began to take their toll. He wondered if he would ever recover. Then Luis met Tuesday, a sensitive golden retriever trained to assist people with disabilities. Tuesday had lived among prisoners and at a home for troubled boys, and he found it difficult to trust in or connect with a human being–until Luis. Until Tuesday is the story of how two wounded warriors, who had given so much and suffered the consequences, found salvation in each other. It is a story about war and peace, injury and recovery, psychological wounds and spiritual restoration. But more than that, it is a story about the love between a man and dog, and how, together, they healed each other’s souls.

Download or read book The Distance Between Us written by Reyna Grande and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-08-28 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this inspirational and unflinchingly honest memoir, acclaimed author Reyna Grande describes her childhood torn between the United States and Mexico, and shines a light on the experiences, fears, and hopes of those who choose to make the harrowing journey across the border. Reyna Grande vividly brings to life her tumultuous early years in this “compelling...unvarnished, resonant” (BookPage) story of a childhood spent torn between two parents and two countries. As her parents make the dangerous trek across the Mexican border to “El Otro Lado” (The Other Side) in pursuit of the American dream, Reyna and her siblings are forced into the already overburdened household of their stern grandmother. When their mother at last returns, Reyna prepares for her own journey to “El Otro Lado” to live with the man who has haunted her imagination for years, her long-absent father. Funny, heartbreaking, and lyrical, The Distance Between Us poignantly captures the confusion and contradictions of childhood, reminding us that the joys and sorrows we experience are imprinted on the heart forever, calling out to us of those places we first called home. Also available in Spanish as La distancia entre nosotros.
Book Synopsis Leaving Tabasco by : Carmen Boullosa
Download or read book Leaving Tabasco written by Carmen Boullosa and published by Grove/Atlantic, Inc.. This book was released on 2007-12-01 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A young woman encounters strange events in her Mexican hometown in this novel by an author who “immerses us...in her wickedly funny and imaginative world” (Latina). Leaving Tabasco tells of the coming of age of Delmira Ulloa, raised in an all-female home in Agustini, in the Mexican province of Tabasco. In Agustini it is not unusual to see your grandmother float above the bed when she sleeps, or to purchase torrential rains at a traveling fair, or to watch your family’s elderly serving woman develop stigmata, then disappear completely, to be canonized as a local saint. But as Delmira becomes a woman, she will set out on a search for her missing father, and must make a choice that could mean leaving her home forever, in a tale filled with both depth and delightful mystery that poses questions about just how real the real world is. “To flee Agustini is to leave not just a town but the viscerally primal dreamscape it represents.”— The New York Times Book Review “Vibrant...Each chapter is an adventure.”—The Boston Globe “We happily share with [Delmira] her life, including the infinitely charming town she inhabits [and] her grandmother’s fantastic imagination.”—The Washington Post Book World
Book Synopsis A Dream Called Home by : Reyna Grande
Download or read book A Dream Called Home written by Reyna Grande and published by Washington Square Press. This book was released on 2019-07-02 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From bestselling author of the remarkable memoir, The Distance Between Us comes an inspiring account of one woman’s quest to find her place in America as a first-generation Latina university student and aspiring writer determined to build a new life for her family one fearless word at a time. “Here is a life story so unbelievable, it could only be true” (Sandra Cisneros, bestselling author of The House on Mango Street). As an immigrant in an unfamiliar country, with an indifferent mother and abusive father, Reyna had few resources at her disposal. Taking refuge in words, Reyna’s love of reading and writing propels her to rise above until she achieves the impossible and is accepted to the University of California, Santa Cruz. Although her acceptance is a triumph, the actual experience of American college life is intimidating and unfamiliar for someone like Reyna, who is now estranged from her family and support system. Again, she finds solace in words, holding fast to her vision of becoming a writer, only to discover she knows nothing about what it takes to make a career out of a dream. Through it all, Reyna is determined to make the impossible possible, going from undocumented immigrant of little means to “a fierce, smart, shimmering light of a writer” (Cheryl Strayed, author of Wild); a National Book Critics Circle Award Finalist whose “power is growing with every book” (Luis Alberto Urrea, Pultizer Prize finalist); and a proud mother of two beautiful children who will never have to know the pain of poverty and neglect. Told in Reyna’s exquisite, heartfelt prose, A Dream Called Home demonstrates how, by daring to pursue her dreams, Reyna was able to build the one thing she had always longed for: a home that would endure.

Book Synopsis Finding Afro-Mexico by : Theodore W. Cohen
Download or read book Finding Afro-Mexico written by Theodore W. Cohen and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-05-07 with total page 572 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2015, the Mexican state counted how many of its citizens identified as Afro-Mexican for the first time since independence. Finding Afro-Mexico reveals the transnational interdisciplinary histories that led to this celebrated reformulation of Mexican national identity. It traces the Mexican, African American, and Cuban writers, poets, anthropologists, artists, composers, historians, and archaeologists who integrated Mexican history, culture, and society into the African Diaspora after the Revolution of 1910. Theodore W. Cohen persuasively shows how these intellectuals rejected the nineteenth-century racial paradigms that heralded black disappearance when they made blackness visible first in Mexican culture and then in post-revolutionary society. Drawing from more than twenty different archives across the Americas, this cultural and intellectual history of black visibility, invisibility, and community-formation questions the racial, cultural, and political dimensions of Mexican history and Afro-diasporic thought.

Book Synopsis Passing to América by : Thomas A. Abercrombie
Download or read book Passing to América written by Thomas A. Abercrombie and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2019-07-16 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1803 in the colonial South American city of La Plata, Doña Martina Vilvado y Balverde presented herself to church and crown officials to denounce her husband of more than four years, Don Antonio Yta, as a “woman in disguise.” Forced to submit to a medical inspection that revealed a woman’s body, Don Antonio confessed to having been María Yta, but continued to assert his maleness and claimed to have a functional “member” that appeared, he said, when necessary. Passing to América is at once a historical biography and an in-depth examination of the sex/gender complex in an era before “gender” had been divorced from “sex.” The book presents readers with the original court docket, including Don Antonio’s extended confession, in which he tells his life story, and the equally extraordinary biographical sketch offered by Felipa Ybañez of her “son María,” both in English translation and the original Spanish. Thomas A. Abercrombie’s analysis not only grapples with how to understand the sex/gender system within the Spanish Atlantic empire at the turn of the nineteenth century but also explores what Antonio/María and contemporaries can teach us about the complexities of the relationship between sex and gender today. Passing to América brings to light a previously obscure case of gender transgression and puts Don Antonio’s life into its social and historical context in order to explore the meaning of “trans” identity in Spain and its American colonies. This accessible and intriguing study provides new insight into historical and contemporary gender construction that will interest students and scholars of gender studies and colonial Spanish literature and history.
