Guadalupe

Resumen del Libro

When looking at historical photographs of Guadalupe residents, one sees the faces that represent the area s unique and diverse past. Originally inhabited by the indigenous Chumash and mapped by Spanish explorers, Guadalupe was first named in the 1840s Mexican land grant honoring Our Lady of Guadalupe, the title given to the Virgin Mary. Through the years, waves of immigrants made their way to Guadalupe to take advantage of the fertile soil and unique geographic features, the most prominent of which are the Guadalupe-Nipomo Dunes, which contain some of the tallest sand dunes on Earth and have been visited by locals and tourists for the last century and a half. It was in the 1920s that Hollywood discovered them and began introducing distant audiences to the region through the cinematic tradition that continues today."

Los años del miedo

Aunque no es una novela, Los años del miedo se lee como tal. El lector acompañará a un Franco que preside en Madrid el desfile de la victoria con una Gran Cruz Laureada de San Fernando prestada, porque olvidó mandar hacerse una, y descubrirá que para aprobar las oposiciones a maestro nacional la respuesta correcta a «¿Quién descubrió América?» o «¿Quién escribió el Quijote?» es la misma: Francisco Franco.
