Book excerpt: Vivir para contarla es, sin lugar a dudas, el libro mas esperado de la decada. Esperado porque se trata del ultimo libro de Gabriel Garcia Marquez y primer tomo de sus memorias, recreacion y compendio de un tiempo clave en la vida de su autor, los anos de la infancia y juventud, aquellos en los que se fundaria todo el imaginario que, con los anos, daria lugar a algunos de los relatos y novelas claves en la literatura en lengua espanola del siglo veinte. Estas memorias giran en torno a los pormenores de su infancia, esos anos transcurridos en la costa caribena de Colombia, en los que el pequeno Gabito supo de todas las batallas libradas en la guerra de los Mil Dias, del paso por la region de la compania bananera, de fundaciones imposibles en la selva, de duelos y muertes miticas, de vacas voladoras y lluvias de flores, una realidad milagrosa y espectacular en la que lo magico fue, antes que nada, un componente de lo cotidiano.Es el mundo de Aracataca, su tierra natal, plagado de figuras tutelares, en el que tuvieron un papel crucial las mujeres de la casa. "Creo que la esencia de mi modo de ser y de pensar se la debo en realidad a las mujeres de la familia y a las muchachas de la servidumbre que pastorearon mi infancia." Como fundamental fue tambien la presencia del abuelo materno, veterano de todas las guerras, y figura de referencia masculina de los primeros anos de la vida de Garcia Marquez, que paso separado de sus padres."En medio de aquella tropa de mujeres evangelicas, el abuelo era para mi la seguridad completa. Solo con el desaparecia la zozobra y me sentia con los pies sobre la tierra y bien establecido en la vida real"Tambien van apareciendo con fuerza y emocion las paginasque el autor dedica al noviazgo de sus padres y el estremecedor relato del asesinato del lider populista Eliecer Gaitan, tal vez el momento mas impresionante del libro. El atentado, conocido como el B+BogotazoB; , ocasiona una revuelta popular reprimida por el ejercito y marca el inicio de la violencia politica, que ha llegado hasta nuestros dias.El libro se cierra con la salida de Gabo de Colombia rumbo a Europa, para cubrir para un periodico la Conferencia de los Cuatro Grandes. Tiene en ese momento 23 anos, y deja a sus espaldas los conmovedores cimientos de toda su obra futura.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Living to Tell the Tale Gabriel Garcia Marquez - winner of the 1982 Nobel Prize for Literature and author of One Hundred Years of Solitude - recounts his personal experience of returning to the house in which he grew up and the memories that this visit conjured. 'My mother asked me to go with her to sell the house' Gabriel Garcia Marquez was twenty-three, a young man experimenting with his writing when this mother asked him to come back with her to the village of his grandparents and the memories of his Colombian childhood. In the first part of Gabriel Garcia Marquez's memoir, the Nobel Prize-winning author returns to the atmosphere and influences that shaped his formidable imagination and formed the basis of his world-famous, and much-loved, fiction. 'A treasure trove, a discovery of a lost land we knew existed but couldn't find. A thrilling miracle of a book' The Times 'A marvellous journey. Never less than a miracle' Sunday Times 'Marquez writes in this lyrical, magical language that no one else can do' Salman Rushdie

Download or read book My Invented Country written by Isabel Allende and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2004-04-27 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Isabel Allende evokes the magnificent landscapes of her country; a charming, idiosyncratic Chilean people with a violent history and an indomitable spirit, and the politics, religion, myth, and magic of her homeland that she carries with her even today. The book circles around two life-changing moments. The assassination of her uncle Salvador Allende Gossens on September 11, 1973, sent her into exile and transformed her into a literary writer. And the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, on her adopted homeland, the United States, brought forth an overdue acknowledgment that Allende had indeed left home. My Invented Country, mimicking the workings of memory itself, ranges back and forth across that distance between past and present lives. It speaks compellingly to immigrants and to all of us who try to retain a coherent inner life in a world full of contradictions.

Download or read book Notes on a Shipwreck written by Davide Enia and published by Other Press, LLC. This book was released on 2019-02-19 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A moving firsthand account of migrant landings on the island of Lampedusa that gives voice to refugees, locals, and volunteers while also exploring a deeply personal father-son relationship. On the island of Lampedusa, the southernmost part of Italy, between Africa and Europe, Davide Enia looks in the faces of those who arrive and those who wait, and tells the story of an individual and collective shipwreck. On one side, a multitude in motion, crossing entire nations and then the Mediterranean Sea under conditions beyond any imagination. On the other, a handful of men and women on the border of an era and a continent, trying to welcome the newcomers. In the middle is the author himself, telling of what actually happens at sea and on land, and the failure of words in the attempt to understand the present paradoxes. Enia reveals the emotional consequences of this touching and disconcerting reality, especially in his relationship with his father, a recently retired doctor who agrees to travel with him to Lampedusa. Witnessing together the public pain of those who land and those who save them from death, alongside the private pain of his uncle's illness, pushes them to reinvent their relationship, to forge a new and unprecedented dialogue that replaces the silences of the past.

Download or read book Tales from My Zia Faustina written by Michelle Damiani and published by Rialto Press. This book was released on 2022-10-18 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Italian werewolf. A dancing devil. And a storyteller who chronicles it all. Italy has enchanted travelers for hundreds of years. Now, those who crave a deeper understanding of Europe’s favorite boot can find it through storytelling. Angelo Mazzoli, beloved teacher and ambassador of culture, recounts the stories he heard at the knee of his aunt Faustina—a communist, feminist seamstress who made everything from wedding gowns to bathing costumes for the residents of her Umbrian hill-town. The author shares sixteen of Zia Faustina’s stories, and thus opens the door to the folklore that dwells within the hearts of all Umbrians. Reading about Orlando’s massacre of female hearts in Spello reveals the spectacle of love passed from generation to generation in Italy. A story about a woman living alone in the mountain above Spello illustrates the vulnerability and strength that endure despite all obstacles. A bandit living in Saint Francis’s Assisi teaches us about Umbrian notions of good and evil. Beyond folklore, the author remembers the post-war years in Italy, when a nation struggled to find a direction and an identity. Anecdotes of a thriving main street—including the author’s father’s woodworking shop, his grandfather’s cobbler shop, and his aunt’s seamstress shop—create a vivid tapestry of the joy and community once easily found outside one’s front door. Adapted for English-speakers by Michelle Damiani (who authored the bestselling Il Bel Centro: A Year in the Beautiful Center, a memoir of her year in Spello), Tales from My Zia Faustina will capture hearts and imaginations. Lovers of Italy, especially those readying to embark on a trip to Umbria, will get more out of their travels by understanding the place names, customs, superstitions, and history of Umbria. Language students will take particular delight in translating for themselves the original Italian, as every one of Angelo Mazzoli's words is included in the second half of the book, or at the very least, hearing the Italian lilt in the English translation. If you’re ready to discover new layers of Italy, it’s time to listen to Zia Faustina. Scroll up and click BUY NOW to discover the secrets of unlocking Umbria today! These stories are fabulous, vivid, vibrant, and lyrical. MIchelle Damiani captures the beauty of Angelo’s story telling. Love it! This book is coming out at an ideal time when the world is so transient with little regard for the importance of having roots and a sense of belonging. I love how Angelo celebrates women through his stories! Faustina was certainly a woman ahead of the times with a fierce and fearless spirit...and a big heart.

Book excerpt: The award winning Accabadora is an exceptional English–language debut, written with intriguing subtlety reflecting a sensual picture of local Italian life and death in villages during the 1950's. A time where family ties and obligations still decide much of life's ebb and flow. A must read for those who love a touch of the unusual. Formerly beautiful and at one time betrothed to a fallen soldier, Bonaria Urrai has a long held covenant with the dead. Midwife to the dying, easing their suffering and sometimes ending it, she is revered and feared in equal measure as the village's Accabadora. When Bonaria adopts Maria, the unloved fourth child of a widow, she tries to shield the girl from the truth about her role as an angel of mercy. Moved by the pleas of a young man crippled in an accident, she breaks her golden rule of familial consent, and in the recriminations that follow, Maria rejects her and flees Sardinia for Turin. Adrift in the big city, Maria strives as ever to find love and acceptance, but her efforts are overshadowed by the creeping knowledge of a debt unpaid, of a duty and destiny that must one day be hers. Accabadora has been awarded seven major literary prizes, including Italy's prestigious Premio Campiello.

Download or read book Barney's Version written by Mordecai Richler and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2011-12-21 with total page 517 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charged with comic energy and a steely disregard for any pieties whatsoever, Barney's Version is a major Richler novel, the most personal and feeling book of a long and distinguished career. Told in the first person, it gives us the life (and what a life!) of Barney Panofsky--whose trashy TV company, Totally Useless Productions, has made him a small fortune; whose three wives include a martyred feminist icon, a quintessential JCP (Jewish-Canadian Princess), and the incomparable Miriam, the perfect wife, lover, and mother--alas, now married to another man; who recalls with nostalgia and pain his young manhood in the Paris of the early fifties, and his lifelong passion for wine, women, and the Montreal Canadiens; who either did or didn't murder his best friend, Boogie, after discovering him in bed with The Second Mrs. Panofsky; whose satirical eye for the idiocies of today's Quebec separatists (as well as for every other kind of political correctness) manages to offend his entire acquaintanceship (and will soon be offending readers everywhere); and whose memory--though not his bile--is, in his sixty-seventh year, definitely slipping . . .
