I have an Olivia and an Ian
I bought this book because my two youngest children are Olivia and Ian. It is a terrific book and aside from drawing on the wall it is exactly what this family is like. There are seven of us all together and she keeps us very busy. And, her little brother, Ian, likes to follow her around, too. This is a great book and is frequently one of the many books in Olivia's stack of bedtime, or anytime, ...

Luc Delannoy

Fondo De Cultura Economica USA, 2001

Testimonio que representa la simbolizacion de las fusiones
La palabra se pronuncia en el dialogo memorioso, documental, vivencial, emotivo en que Luc Delannoy teje su telar historico del jazz latino consonando su universo, su estricta y puntual escritura donde obediente al principio narrativo nos lleva de la mano a la busqueda de significados, a la explicacion de ritmos, a la mezcla de generos, a las atmosferas de los escenarios, pero sobre todo a la ...

Mexico en Una Nuez y Otras Nueces

2 reviews
Alfonso Reyes

Fondo de Cultura Economica USA, 1996

An introduction to a key thinker
Reyes is one of the forefathers of Latin American thought and literature. This anthology, for Spanish speaking readers, is the right introduction to the complexities of his work. The first essay, Vision de Anahuac, focuses on a nostalgic reconstruction of the mighty Aztec empire from a cosmopolite position. The second, Mexico en una nuez, analyses the specificity of Mexican history. The small ...

La oveja negra y demas fabulas (Spanish Edition)

2 reviews
Augusto Monterroso

Fondo De Cultura Economica USA, 2001

The most sarcastic social criticsism
Monterroso uses simple fables, that superficially are very funny, but once you associate each one to human society, you'll find that the author is able to slap us in the face, in his own unique way. I would describe his writing as one of the most elegant. Read this book, if you want to think about humanity path, while having a good laugh too.

Enrique Krauze

Fondo de Cultura Economica USA, 1995

An excelent analysis of Zapata's life and philosophy
Enrique Krauze is well known for his series of books about the political power in Mexico since the last century to our days. In the Zapata's book, Krauze makes a very serious analysis of the life of this "caudillo" of the Mexican Revolution that nowadays is a symbol of social justice and in general: mexican socialism. Do you want to know more about the current "guerrilla" of the Liberation ...

Carlos Castaneda

Fondo de Cultura Economica USA, 1996

Sencillamente hermoso,,,
Este libro es muy bello, te hace reflexionar hasta lo mas profundo de tu ser y a la vez te deleita con los personajes. El primero en mostrar el verdadero fundamento de la brujeria moderna, el primer libro de la saga de Castaneda en mostrar el verdadero alcance de la brujeria de los hechiceros del linaje de Don Juan. Un libro hermoso.

Indigenismo Review
Best source I've found regarding the subject of Indigenismo. Although the original is in French, the author does give an ample historical context to the emergence of indigenismo as well as providing the current political issues spanning varios latin american countries.

Yucatán es conocida mundialmente por sus restos mayas. ¿Quien no conoce Chichen Itza, Coba, Tulum y tantas otras ciudades? Pero la historia de Yucatán incluye otros muchos sucesos dignos de ser contados. De todas las obras incluidas en la Serie de Obras Breves de los Estados de la República Mexicana, esta es sin duda la mejor. En agosto de 2.006, me encontraba en Yucatán disfrutando de sus ...

A FASCINATING LOOK AT MEXICAN FAMILIES IN THE 1950s...
I first read this book many years ago, along with some of the author's other works, and decided to take read it again. Time certainly has not diminished the power of the author, winner of the 1967 National Book Award for his book, "La Vida", to take the reader into the lives of others. This is the Spanish text edition of the author's anthropological work, "Five Families", which reads as if it ...

Bonicula: Una Historia De Misterio Conejil (Bunnicula) (Spanish Edition)

James Howe

Fondo De Cultura Economica USA, 1995

a bunny to scare all.
This one of the most entretaining stories about the old myth of vampires. The main character, who also is the writer of the story, is a family dog who witnesses how a charming being becomes a fiendish creature at night. One of the achievments of the book is how closely it takes on the characters and the story of Dracula, without the eerie parts no apt for kids. Instead it creates a world so ...

Clarice Lispector

Fondo de Cultura Economica USA, 1991

a book to reprint as soon as possible!
a pity, this book should be out of print / it is difficult - painful - to read; and to discover that it does not talk of Clarice, or of any unknown protagonist, but of each one of us; of you!
