"This bestseller in Puerto Rico is the complete story of the only revolution against the United States, told from the…
perspective of Comandante Elio Torresola, who led the rebel forces to victory during El Grito de Jayuya. In 1950, Puerto Rican nationalists stunned the world when they succeeded in destroying the international image of the United States as the 'Champion of Democracy' by declaring the Republic of Puerto Rico and extending the reach of the rebellion into the heartland of the United States through a direct attack on President Truman. |Times of Upheaval| is the product of a three-year investigation by a journalist who delved into personal and official documents, including the FBI's so-called Secret Files on Puerto Rico, newspapers, books and theses at the University of Puerto Rico, and interviews with witnesses to the events, as well as with the revolutionaries and their families." -- Translation provided by NLSLa carreta: drama en tres actos

"Twelve-year-old Bea Gelman and her best friend Frankie are planning the BEST SUMMER EVER at Camp Shalom-a sleep-away camp. But…
at the last minute, Frankie bows out, leaving painfully shy Bea on her own. Just talking to strangers causes Bea to break out into ugly, blotchy hives. As if the hives weren't bad enough, Bea gets pranked by a couple of girls in her cabin and is betrayed by someone she thought was a new friend. Bea has had enough! She decides to spend her summer in the infirmary far away from everything that's stressing her out. No more boys (including her crush, Jeremy), no more horrible mean girls, and no more fake friends! At the infirmary, Bea meets Harry, a boy facing challenges way more intense than stress breakouts. Inspired by Harry's strength and positive outlook, Bea decides to face her fears-in a big way." -- Provided by publisherRaising the dead: A True Story Of Death And Survival
Par Phillip Finch. 2008
On New Year's Day, 2005, David Shaw traveled halfway around the world on a journey that took him to a…
steep crater in the Kalahari Desert of South Africa, a site known as Bushman's Hole. His destination was nearly 900 feet below the water's surface. On January 8th he descended into the water. Don Shirley, Shaw's friend, was one of the few people in the world qualified to follow where Shaw was about to go. Twenty-five minutes later, one of the men was dead. The other was in mortal peril, and would spend the next 10 hours struggling to survive, existing literally from breath to breath. What happened that day is the stuff of nightmarish drama, but is also a compelling human story of friendship, heroism, ambition, and of coming to terms with loss and tragedy.

Par Eugène Ionesco. 1984
« Tout le monde la connaît. Peu peuvent l'expliquer. C'est ce que fait à merveille Emmanuel Jacquart, éditeur du Théâtre…
de Ionesco dans la Bibliothèque de la Pléiade. Il commence par retracer l'historique, la genèse de la pièce, à partir de " L'anglais sans peine " de la méthode Assimil. Les répliques se sont naturellement assemblées, et l'ensemble a produit ce que l'auteur appelle une " anti-pièce " une vraie parodie de pièce, sans ambition idéologique particulière. Dans cet illustre chef-d'oeuvre, l'esprit de dérision prend le contre-pied de la tradition. Une série de sketches désopilants jusqu'au dénouement tonitruant et digne des surréalistes, telle est la pièce dont nous étudions les secrets en la replaçant dans la tradition de l'antitradition, de la modernité en évolution. C'est désormais, dans un format élégant et maniable, la version de référence de " La Cantatrice chauve ". »Les justes: pièce en cinq actes (Folio Ser.)
