"Faced with the prospect of being separated from each other, a young boy and his family make the difficult decision…
to leave their home and begin a journey filled with uncertainty. On the road, they meet other people like them. Families with deep roots tied to the land. Others that helped build the railroads. Some were shop owners and factory workers. Each with similar hopes and dreams.

just disappeared from the family circle. With the vague hint that he might be lost in the United States, the nephew, now a renowned writer, began an investigation in which he mixed facts and imaginings, intuitions and memories. |Missing|, the book that records everything, is not so much a thriller, since the uncle soon appears and his voice takes over the novel, but a captivating autobiographical inquiry and an exploration into the human will to disappear, into the drifts of failure. A journey down the unpaved roads of the American dream. This edition includes an afterword recounting the behind-the-scenes of the novel and some journalistic farce surrounding its appearance." -- Translation provided by NLSTodo es posible

By taking a close look with an open mind, they see the strength of rocks shaped by volcanoes, the cleansing power of beautiful crystals, the oceans that housed their shells and shapes its environment, and the long journey meteorites took to find their way to them. Gathered together, Grandma and the girls let their surroundings spark their imaginations." -- Amazon.comCorazones perdidos
Par Celeste Ng. 2022
"Twelve-year-old Bird Gardner lives a quiet existence with his loving but broken father, a former linguist who now shelves books…
in a university library. Bird knows to not ask too many questions, stand out too much, or stray too far. For a decade, their lives have been governed by laws written to preserve "American culture" in the wake of years of economic instability and violence. To keep the peace and restore prosperity, the authorities are now allowed to relocate children of dissidents, especially those of Asian origin, and libraries have been forced to remove books seen as unpatriotic-including the work of Bird's mother, Margaret, a Chinese American poet who left the family when he was nine years old. Bird has grown up disavowing his mother and her poems; he doesn't know her work or what happened to her, and he knows he shouldn't wonder. But when he receives a mysterious letter containing only a cryptic drawing, he is pulled into a quest to find her. His journey will take him back to the many folktales she poured into his head as a child, through the ranks of an underground network of librarians, into the lives of the children who have been taken, and finally to New York City, where a new act of defiance may be the beginning of much-needed change." -- Provided by publisherLa respiración violenta del mundo
