La seducción del jefe El magnate Jefferson Lyon nunca aceptaba un no por respuesta. Por eso, cuando su fiel secretaria se hartó de sus exigencias y dimitió, Jefferson la siguió hasta el paraíso tropical donde se había ido de vacaciones. Pero para él aquel viaje no era de relax, porque estaba dispuesto a convencerla de que volviera al trabajo... a través de la seducción. Casada por dinero Pocas cosas podían sorprender a Janine Shaker, pero el millonario Max Striver consiguió hacerlo al proponerle que fingiera ser su mujer. Además de desear a Janine, Max necesitaba una esposa y sabía que ella no estaba en condiciones de rechazar su oferta... ni su cama. La cautiva del millonario El multimillonario Gabriel Vaughn se había olvidado del pasado... hasta que Debbie Harris apareció en su lujoso complejo turístico. Lo había abandonado en otro tiempo, pero Gabriel no permitiría que en esa ocasión se marchara de su isla sin llevar a cabo su especial venganza: seducirla.

...y no se lo trago la tierra / ...And the Earth Did Not Devour Him
Author: Tomàs Rivera
Publisher: Arte Publico Press
ISBN: 9781611923391
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 164
Book Description
ñI tell you, God could care less about the poor. Tell me, why must we live here like this? What have we done to deserve this? YouÍre so good and yet you suffer so much,î a young boy tells his mother in Tomàs RiveraÍs classic novel about the migrant worker experience. Outside the chicken coop that is their home, his father wails in pain from the unbearable cramps brought on by sunstroke after working in the hot fields. The young boy canÍt understand his parentsÍ faith in a god that would impose such horrible suffering, poverty and injustice on innocent people. Adapted into the award-winning film and the earth did not swallow him and recipient of the first award for Chicano literature, the Premio Quinto Sol, in 1970, RiveraÍs masterpiece recounts the experiences of a Mexican-American community through the eyes of a young boy. Forced to leave their home in search of work, the migrants are exploited by farmers, shopkeepers, even other Mexican Americans, and the boy must forge his identity in the face of exploitation, death and disease, constant moving and conflicts with school officials. In this new edition of a powerful novel comprised of short vignettes, Rivera writes hauntingly about alienation, love and betrayal, man and nature, death and resurrection and the search for community.
