Nikolski

Resumen del Libro

This is a story of three characters--Noah, Joyce, and the anonymous narrator--as each leave their far-flung birthplaces to follow their own personal songs of migration. All three end up in Montreal, each on his or her voyage of selfdiscovery, each compelled to deal with the mishaps of heartbreak and the twisted branches of their shared family tree. Filled with humor, charm, and marvelous storytelling, this novel links cartography, garbage-obsessed archeologists, pirates past and present, a mysterious book with no cover, and a broken compass whose needle obstinately points to the Aleutian village of Nikolski (a minuscule village inhabited by thirty-six people, five thousand sheep, and an indeterminate number of dogs). This is a sweet, well-told story about three characters who break free from their families in order to live authentically.

Sonetos

Durante su juventud, William Shakespeare (1564-1616) compuso numerosos " Sonetos " que fueron publicados en 1609. Centrados principalmente en torno a las figuras de un amigo y de la llamada «dama oscura», estos poemas únicos sobresalen por el apasionado acento de su experiencia vivida y por la profundidad con la que hace brillar los motivos universales del amor el sufrimiento, los celos, los reproches, las traiciones, el hastío, la melancolía incurable, la fugacidad del tiempo contra la que lucha desesperadamente el amor . La versión de esta edición bilingüe corre a cargo de Antonio...

¡Celebremos el Día de los Muertos! (Celebrating Day of the Dead!)

Day of the Dead is a very important holiday in Latin America. It is sometimes incorrectly thought of as a morbid holiday, or a Mexican version of Halloween. While the word "dead" or "muertos" is in the name, this holiday is the way that the people of Mexico honor the lives of ancestors, celebrate the joy of life, and connect with their Mexican heritage. Young readers will enjoy the amazing, colorful photographs of the Day of the Dead celebration, and a supportive glossary helps expand their vocabularies along with their cultural awareness.
