Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From FSG Classics, a special twenty-fifth anniversary edition of Oscar Hijuelos's beloved Pulitzer Prize–winning novel, The Mambo Kings Play Songs of Love. It's 1949 and two young Cuban musicians make their way from Havana to the grand stage of New York City. It is the era of mambo, and the Castillo brothers, workers by day, become stars of the dance halls by night, where their orchestra plays the lush, sensuous, pulsing music that earns them the title of the Mambo Kings. This is their moment of youth, exuberance, love, and freedom—a golden time that decades later is remembered with nostalgia and deep affection. Hijuelos's marvelous portrait of the Castillo brothers, their families, their fellow musicians and lovers, their triumphs and tragedies, re-creates the sights and sounds of an era in music and an unsung moment in American life. Exuberantly celebrated from the moment it was published in 1989, The Mambo Kings Play Songs of Love won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1990 (making Hijuelos the first Hispanic recipient of the award). It was adapted for a major motion picture in 1992 (The Mambo Kings) and remains a perennial bestseller. The story's themes of cultural fusion and identity are as relevant today as they were twenty-five years ago, proving Hijuelos's novel to be a genuine and timeless classic.

This book was released on 2020-12-01 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These pages have been written by authors from the five continents fro March to May 2020, and they make up an emotional X-ray of what they were thinking and feeling while faced by a threat to their own lives. Artists, teachers, mayors, pensioners, ambassadors, homemakers, diplomats, writers, jobless, nurses... of all ages and origins, they all string their words together and write about love, fear, family, time or future. There are some who express themselves with a poem, an entry in a diary, a story or a critical reflection; and others with an illustration or a photograph. Together they create an intimate and diverse testimony of how a pandemic, the one in 2020, changed who we are as human beings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No contemporary development underscores the transnational linkage between the United States and Spanish-language América today more than the wave of in-migration from Spanish-language countries during the 1980s and 1990s. This development, among others, has made clear what has always been true, that the United States is part of Spanish-language América. Translation and oral communication from Spanish to English have been constant phenomena since before the annexation of the Mexican Southwest in 1848. The expanding number of counter-national translations from English to Spanish of Latinx fictional narratives by mainstream presses between the 1990s and 2010 is an indication of significant change in the relationship. A Translational Turn explores both the historical reality of Spanish to English translation and the “new” counter-national English to Spanish translation of Latinx narratives. More than theorizing about translation, this book underscores long-standing contact, such as code-mixing and bi-multilingualism, between the two languages in U.S. language and culture. Although some political groups in this country persist in seeing and representing this country as having a single national tongue and community, the linguistic ecology of both major cities and the suburban periphery, here and in the global world, is bilingualism and multilingualism.

Book excerpt: Esta vida no es como queremos, por eso hay demasiadas situaciones que se nos van de las manos, una veces por culpa nuestra y demasiadas por culpa de los demás. Este libro trata sobre todo de los hipócritas, de los mentirosos y todas sus formas, que hay muchas y muy variadas, además se aconseja como combatirlas y hacerles frente y como hacer lo mejor para con nosotros mismos y también como hacer lo peor para estos cafres. La mentira y el engaño, es un mal que a veces no le damos importancia, pero que trae consecuencias nefastas en multitud de ocasiones y para ello he escrito este libro, precisamente para combatir a estos cafres que quieren ponerlo todo patas arriba y cada cosa en su sitio ó lugar, si no se está acorde con la vida.

Download or read book A History of the Book in America written by David Paul Nord and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2015-12-01 with total page 637 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fifth volume of A History of the Book in America addresses the economic, social, and cultural shifts affecting print culture from World War II to the present. During this period factors such as the expansion of government, the growth of higher education, the climate of the Cold War, globalization, and the development of multimedia and digital technologies influenced the patterns of consolidation and diversification established earlier. The thirty-three contributors to the volume explore the evolution of the publishing industry and the business of bookselling. The histories of government publishing, law and policy, the periodical press, literary criticism, and reading--in settings such as schools, libraries, book clubs, self-help programs, and collectors' societies--receive imaginative scrutiny as well. The Enduring Book demonstrates that the corporate consolidations of the last half-century have left space for the independent publisher, that multiplicity continues to define American print culture, and that even in the digital age, the book endures.
