Tibu: memorias de un mánager
Par Carlos Vázquez Moreno. 2020
"A journey through the professional life of Carlos Vázquez Moreno, a/k/a 'Tibu.' A faithful testimony, unsweetened, often stark and emotional,…
of his career as a musician, record producer, and manager of stars such as Hombres G, Aute, El Canto del Loco, and Miguel Ríos; a book that does not seek to be a mere settling of scores or a collection of anecdotes. From the death of Franco to the present day, Tibu puts a name and a face to the music business in Spain, offering the reader an insider's view of how this business really works. He shows us a whole life, his own, that has revolved around artists, musicians, and all that showbiz that surrounds them, that until very recently was dedicated to the pursuit of money, and that led him to know firsthand the darkness that hides in a cell." -- Translation provided by NLSTrejo: mi vida de crimen, redención y Hollywood (Atria Espanol Ser.)

Par Helen Macdonald. 2021
"In Vesper Flights Helen Macdonald brings together a collection of her best loved essays, along with new pieces on topics…
ranging from nostalgia for a vanishing countryside to the tribulations of farming ostriches to her own private vespers while trying to fall asleep. Meditating on notions of captivity and freedom, immigration and flight, Helen invites us into her most intimate experiences: observing songbirds from the Empire State Building as they migrate through the Tribute of Light, watching tens of thousands of cranes in Hungary, seeking the last golden orioles in Suffolk's poplar forests. She writes with heart-tugging clarity about wild boar, swifts, mushroom hunting, migraines, the strangeness of birds' nests, and the unexpected guidance and comfort we find when watching wildlife. By one of this century's most important and insightful nature writers, Vesper Flights is a captivating and foundational book about observation, fascination, time, memory, love and loss and how we make sense of the world around us." -- GoodreadsGran día cada día: navegando los desafios de la vida con promesa y propósito
Par Max Lucado. 2012
"Do you see it? It's right there on the horizon, next to the morning sun? It's a chance and a…
choice. An opportunity to make this a great day. After all: 'This is the day the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it.' But what of those days when the traffic snarls, airports close, and friends forget? Despite the hang-ups and bang-ups of life, every day is filled with the hope of a God-given purpose and promise. In |Great Day Every Day| Max Lucado unpacks Jesus' blueprint for upgrading each of your days to blue ribbon status: saturate your day in Jesus' grace; entrust your day to His oversight; accept His direction. Grace. Oversight. Direction. G-O-D. The perfect prescription to fill your day with divine power and peace and make it a great day every day." -- GoodreadsEl ritmo de la vida
Par Julissa. 2007
"Life is a trajectory with many paths that promise to take you to your final destination. Many times on this…
path called life, you come to a crossroads, and you don't know where to go. You may wonder, "Which route can get me where I want to go the fastest? Will I encounter difficulties along the way? What lies ahead?" These are common questions that everyone has asked themselves at some point in life. Having gone through a process similar to this, I can identify with what young people in today's society are facing. Through this book it is my desire to make this journey of The Rhythm of Life much easier, more desirable and even fun. By sharing (my) life experiences, advice and what God says in His Word, I pray that I can plant hope in the hearts of these boys and girls and influence them to live life to the fullest, in 'God's way'." -- Translation provided by NLSUn armario lleno de sombra
Par Antonio Gamoneda. 2020
"After the death of his mother, Antonio Gamoneda decided to open the closet whose contents remained shrouded in shadow and…
could not be seen by anyone but her: 'I stuck my head in the darkness of the closet and then something happened that enveloped me in its physical reality: the smell of my mother. Alive.' The review of the contents of this closet provokes a sequence of memories that, over the pages, become narrative and story. The result is this book, a childhood memoir from the moment the Spanish Civil War broke out until the day before his fourteenth birthday. His father, a journalist and author of a single book of poems, |Another Higher Life|, died the year after Antonio Gamoneda was born. In 1934, his mother decided to move with her son from Oviedo to León and there they lived through the Spanish war and post-war period, with the extreme precariousness of a family without resources. Of the humiliations imposed by poverty, of their passage through the school of the Augustinian friars (not innocent of abuses and perversions), of the bloody repression during the civil war and the postwar period very present in León, the reader will find the details in the pages of this book, the moving account of a childhood lived in the darkest years of Spain's recent history." -- Goodreads"La Malinche, a foundational figure in the history of Mexico, has been adorned with the halo of suspicion that enveloped…
Eve after her expulsion from paradise; condemned to silence and turned into one of the most frequent characters of Creole writing. Deified by some and demonized by others, she has inspired tragedies, romantic dramas, chronicles, poems and even cartoons. Like all mythical and historical characters, it is necessary to revisit her periodically, delve into our roots, review the mestizaje and rethink her present and past wanderings to clarify the multiple meanings of one of the most powerful cultural enigmas in Mexico and Latin America. This volume brings together the memories of the colloquium entitled La Malinche, her Parents and Children, with the participation of Carlos Monsiváis, Roger Bartra, Hernán Lara Zavala, among other well-known writers; and two new essays on this controversial character: a panoramic look at the myths, uses and customs that have consolidated Malintzin as the paradigm par excellence of mestizaje." -- Translation provided by NLSCreados para florecer: cultivando una vida abundante
Par Beth Moore. 2021
"God likes watching things grow and flourish. The metaphor of God as Gardener plays out through Scripture as He tends…
His people with care, skill, and intention. When Jesus began His ministry on earth, He took this idea to a whole new level, revealing that He himself is the Vine. He invites us to the sacred ground of abiding, calling us to flourish in the abundant life He offers. In these beautiful reflections based on Beth Moore's bestselling book Chasing Vines, Beth invites you to explore the fruitful life through the language of the garden--and through the words of the Master Gardener Himself." -- GoodreadsAmor audaz
Par Beth Moore. 2015
"Thirty years in the making, Audacious is a deep dive into the message that has compelled Beth Moore to serve…
women around the globe. Glancing over the years of ministry behind her and strengthening her resolve to the call before her, she came to the realization that her vision for women was incomplete. It lacked something they were aching for. Something Jesus was longing for. Beth identifies that missing link by digging through Scripture, unearthing life experiences, and spotlighting a turning point with the capacity to infuse any life with holy passion and purpose. What was missing? Well, let's just say, it's audacious and it's for all of us. And it's the path to the life you were born to live." -- GoodreadsRaulito: the first Latino Governor of Arizona = Raulito : el primer gobernador latino de Arizona

living room? In Family Beasts, zoologist and writer Andrés Cota Hiriart recounts his experiences with the unusual animals that have accompanied him throughout his life: from his earliest childhood, when his fascination with nature led him to become interested in the most varied insects, reptiles and amphibians and to turn his home into an improvised zoo; to his youth, when he traveled to such exotic places as the Galapagos, Borneo, Sulawesi and Guadalupe Island to observe wildlife in its natural habitat. Axolotls, orangutans, Komodo dragons, tarsiers and sea lions populate this hilarious and original book, with echoes of Gerald Durrell, in which the most surprising memories and anecdotes blend with the best scientific information sharing. Andrés Cota Hiriart transmits his passion for the natural world and invites us to reflect on the inescapable responsibility of human beings for the conservation of the planet. A wild and captivating memoir that teaches us to respect the life that surrounds us and lets us marvel at its amazing richness." -- Translation provided by NLSQuebrantamiento: cuando Díos convíerte la presión en poder

the 21st century is oriented towards the "global water wars" that have already begun in some areas of the planet, full of sea water and, paradoxically, where most humans are thirsty." -- Translation provided by NLSHistoria mínima de la revolución cubana (Historia mínima (Mexico City, Mexico))

"A brief and complete history of recent Cuba, from the generalized struggle against the dictator Batista in 1956 until the…
approval of the socialist Constitution in 1976. The Cuban Revolution was a decisive event in Latin American history in the second half of the 20th century. The Cold War consolidated Cuba as an international political actor, as Cuban leaders supported guerrillas in other countries in order to spread the revolution. The institutionalization of the revolutionary regime was a slow process full of twists and turns, conditioned by both internal and external factors." -- Translation provided by NLSUna canción inesperada: un testimonio bello y enriquecedor
Par Leire Quintana. 2016
"Leire Quintana decided to leave her life in a big city behind, retreat to a monastery, and learn to listen…
to her own song. How did this experience change the way she saw the world? What life lessons did she learn? Leire Quintana has a lot to tell us: 'I was overwhelmed by the thought of losing my family or friends, and even the impossibility of making new friends because I was in a cloistered monastery. Later I came to recognize that without solitude, the solitude of my cell, I could not progress. [...] Little by little I discovered the causes, the hidden needs that I hadn't known how to manage, I questioned my fears, I embraced them and I knew, by offering them my attention, that that was all they needed to disappear.'" -- Translation provided by NLSNueve lunas

Par Enrique Del Risco. 2022
"|Our Hunger in Havana| is a book of personal memories of the 90s Cuban postwar period of peace that received…
the curious euphemism of "Special Period." In a tragicomic tone, the author describes and explains the debacle that brought cats and banana skins to the status of delicacies, pigs to that of urban pets raised in bathtubs, and the practical disappearance of public transportation, gastronomy, and alcoholic beverages. A national catastrophe told through the personal experiences of one who worked in a school, a museum, and a cemetery while trying to be young, free, and happy at the worst time in Cuba's history." -- Translation provided by NLSJuan de Juanes: escritores, editores, agentes literarios y otras glorias y calamidades
Par Sergio Ramírez. 2014
"Memory is also a sort of homage to the friends who have accompanied us throughout life, those with whom we…
share a table, books, travels and, in the case of Sergio Ramirez, revolution. In Juan de Juanes' vast map of memories, Ramirez traces the route that takes us from his beginnings as a writer, the triumph of the Sandinista revolution in his native Nicaragua, the Alfaguara Prize in 1998, to the awarding of the 2011 José Donoso Ibero-American Literature Prize, a few days before the suicide of the Chilean writer's only heir, Pilar Donoso. In the pages of Juan de Juanes, Sergio Ramírez tells us about memorable characters in his life, to whom he remained indebted, among others Carlos Fuentes, Julio Cortázar, Augusto Monterroso, Gabriel García Márquez, Jorge Luis Borges, Ernesto Cardenal and Juan Cruz, his first editor and the starting point of this journey through Latin America." -- Translation provided by NLS
