Book Description
Durante un siglo, Villa Vistamar ha reinado como el mejor internado católico para jovencitas en los Estados Unidos; sus sacrosantos edificios han sido un hogar para inumerables numerosas jovencitas ¿peculiarmente, hijas de familias millonarias, y políticamente vulnerables¿ originarias de países extranjeros. Juntas de nuevo, durante una reunión de su generación, dos viejas amigas y compañeras del internado, aún intrigadas por los misterios del histórico convento donde vivieron su juventud, se empeñan en descubrir tanto los secretos de la vieja hacienda del suroeste, como la relación tan extraña entre las Hermanas de Santo Tomás y su benefactor. Convencidas de que descubrirían la clave del misterio en los viejos y macabros baúles que las monjas guardan en el sótano del convento, incursionan furtivamente, al amparo de la oscuridad nocturna, a las catacumbas de la antigua abadía, quedando literalmente atrapadas en un callejón sin salida; envueltas en una historia de intriga eclesiástica de la cual no existe escapatoria otra que descubrir la verdad. Varios encuentros terroríficos con los Guardianes de la Iglesia, que protegen los secretos que las mujeres han resuelto descifrar; así como la muerte de una anciana monja, anteriormente Madre Superiora de la Congregación, las llevan al descubrimiento de un escondrijo que guarda un millonario tesoro de un valor incalculable y que protege un tesoro aún mayor: un secreto que la Iglesia ha ocultado del mundo durante las últimas nueve décadas de la historia de Europa Oriental, bajo el código eclesiástico de Salve Regina.

Good Hair, Bad Hair
Author: Carmen L. Montañez
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1469163616
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 141
Book Description
Good hair, bad hair registers the author in the genealogical tree of the great Caribbean writers such as Olive Senior, Jamaica Kincaid, and Mayra Santos-Febres. The speakers of this novel, shown through fragmented monologues, become archetypical voices that intertwine in the main character as if all of them were only one. The changes of narrative perspective create metaphors of the inherent ambiguity in the Caribbean amalgam. But beyond the tension that the title could imply, this novel is the story of a woman who, in spite of her restlessness or her fears, takes control over her life.

Tell Me Who I Am
Author: Julia Navarro
Publisher: PLAZA & JANÉS
ISBN: 8401343062
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 964
Book Description
A journalist receives a proposal to investigate the eventful life of his great-grandmother, about whom all that is known is that she fled Spain, abandoning her husband and child, shortly before the Civil War broke out. The memoir of an entire century, this novel adds a new, original chapter to Julia Navarro's best-selling career. Tell Me Who I Am surprises and enchants with a captivating and heartrending story. This is a novel about memory and identity with an exceptionallywell-drawn and unforgettable literary character: a woman who throughout her extraordinary life was able to achieve the highly difficult feat of knowing herself. A victim of her mistakes, aware of her guilt, frightened by her traumas, she is above all an anti-heroine, a flesh-and-blood woman who always acts according to her principles, facing up to every challenge and making errors for which she will never fully pay. A woman who decided that she couldn't be neutral in this life. Navarro's most personal novel surprises for its melodrama and the raw emotions transmitted by many of its stories. It is filled with pure adventure, introspection and political chronicle. From the tumultuous years of the Second Spanish Republic to the fall of the Berlin Wall, including World War II and the Cold War, these pages are packed with intrigue, emotion, politics, espionage, love, betrayal and settings like Madrid, Barcelona, Paris, Buenos Aires, Mexico, Moscow, London, Berlin and Warsaw with brief stopovers in The Basque Country, Cairo, Athens, Lisbon and New York.

Historical Dictionary of the "dirty Wars"
Author: David R. Kohut
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 0810858398
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 461
Book Description
Unlike a conventional war waged against a standing army, a "dirty war" is waged against individuals, groups, or ideas considered subversive. Originally associated with Argentina's military regime from 1976-1983, the term has since been applied to neighboring dictatorships during the period. Indeed, it has become a byword for state-sponsored repression anywhere in the world. The first edition of this reference illustrated the concept by describing the regimes of Argentina, Chile (1973-1990), and Uruguay (1973-1985), which tortured, murdered, and disappeared thousands of people in the name of anticommunism while thousands more were driven into exile. The second edition expands the scope to include Bolivia (1971-1982), Brazil (1964-1985), and Paraguay (1954-1989). Includes a chronology, an introductory essay, a bibliography, and over 400 cross-referenced dictionary entries on the countries; guerrilla and political movements; prominent guerrilla, human-rights, military, and political figures; local, regional, and international human-rights organizations; and artistic figures (filmmakers, novelists, and playwrights) whose works attempt to represent or resist the period of repression.--Publisher.

Time for God
Author: Jacques Philippe
Publisher: Scepter Publishers
ISBN: 1594170975
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 111
Book Description
Many people today are thirsty for God and feel a desire for an intense, personal prayer life that is deep and ongoing. But they encounter obstacles that prevent them from following the path seriously, and especially from persevering on it. Time for God was written with these desires and difficulties in mind. In Time for God, author Jacques Philippe mainly concentrates on mental prayer: prayer that consists of facing God in solitude and silence for a time in order to enter into intimate, loving communion with him. Practicing this kind of prayer regularly is considered by all spiritual masters to be an indispensable path that gives access to genuine Christian life—a path to knowing and loving God that empowers us to respond to his call to holiness addressed to each individual. Philippe draws on years of experience as a spiritual guide to illuminate the fundamental principles of mental prayer and describes some common mistakes and misconceptions that can lead it astray. With simplicity and clarity he explains the foundational principles for a healthy prayer life and gives advice for overcoming the various obstacles that arise when one sets off on the path of interior prayer.

Student Writing
Author: Theresa M. Lillis
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134586566
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 212
Book Description
Student Writing presents an accessible and thought-provoking study of academic writing practices. Informed by 'composition' research from the US and 'academic literacies studies' from the UK, the book challenges current official discourse on writing as a 'skill'. Lillis argues for an approach which sees student writing as social practice. The book draws extensively on a three-year study with ten non-traditional students in higher education and their experience of academic writing. Using case study material - including literacy history interviews, extended discussions with students about their writing of discipline specific essays, and extracts from essays - Lillis identifies the following as three significant dimensions to academic writing: * Access to higher education and to its language and literacy representational resources * Regulation of meaning making in academic writing * Desire for participation in higher education and for choices over ways of meaning in academic writing. Student Writing: access, regulation, desire raises questions about why academics write as they do, who benefits from such writing, which meanings are valued and how, on what terms 'outsiders' get to be 'insiders' and at what costs.
