Gordo
Author: Jaime Cortez
Publisher: Grove Press
ISBN: 0802158099
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 145
Book Description
This debut story collection “masterfully navigates adverse conditions of migrant life while . . . managing to find joy and amusement, love and triumph” (San Francisco Chronicle). Gordo brings readers inside a migrant workers camp near Watsonville, California in the 1970s. At the heart of these interrelated stories is a young, probably gay, boy named Gordo, who must find a way to contend with the notions of manhood imposed on him by his father. As he comes of age, Gordo learns about sex, watches his father’s drunken fights, and discovers even his own documented Mexican-American parents are wary of illegal migrants. We also meet Fat Cookie, high schooler and resident artist who runs away from home one day with her mother’s boyfriend, Manny. And then there are Los Tigres, the twins who show up every season and whose drunken brawl ends with one of them rushed to the emergency room in an upholstered chair tied to the back of a pick-up truck. These scenes from Steinbeck Country are full of humor, family drama, and a sweet frankness about serious questions: Who belongs to America and how are they treated? How does one learn decency when grown adults must fear for their lives and livelihoods? Gordo “announces a vibrant new voice on the literary scene, at once wise and authentic and supremely gifted” (Booklist, starred review). Finalist for the 2022 Lambda Literary Award for Gay Fiction Longlisted for the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Fiction

Diccionario comentado de términos financieros ingleses de uso frecuente en español
Author: Miguel Castelo Montero
Publisher: Netbiblo
ISBN: 9788497450539
Category : Anglicismer
Languages : es
Pages : 244
Book Description
La internacionalización del mundo financiero es una realidad, y la liberalización de los sistemas financieros han producido una mayor flexibilización de contratación en los mercados internacionales. Este diccionario ofrece un compendio explicativo de la extensa serie de términos de la lengua inglesa que se usan con frecuencia en español dentro del ámbito de la terminología de los mercados financieros. El autor ha tratado de aproximarse al tema desde una óptica real. Las voces y expresiones aquí registradas son conocidas y usadas regularmente por todos aquellos que, de una manera directa o indirecta, se mueven en el mundo económico y financiero. Resulta interesante el tratamiento lingüístico de la etimología más próxima que se da al término para conocer con mayor rigor y exactitud el por qué se usa y su vinculación con la jerga, ya que, recordemos, la terminología financiera está basada la mayoría de las veces, en el habla cotidiana. Esta obra puede ser útil para los filólogos, traductólogos, economistas y abogados ya que los foros de la filología moderna han incorporado a sus planteamientos tradicionales los estudios que se ocupan del uso de los idiomas en contextos especializados. En este diccionario se recogen ejemplos reales tomados de la prensa económica española actual, de las dos variedades más comunes del inglés, el británico y el americano, aunque más bien podríamos hablar de inglés internacional ya que la globalización de los mercados ha hecho que desaparezcan algunos rasgos diferenciales.
