Book Description

With a poet's magical vision, Francisco X. Alarcón takes young readers back to his childhood when he traveled with his family to Mexico to visit his grandmother and other relatives. Readers ride with him in the family station wagon across the misty mountain range to the little town of Atoyac, the beloved town of his ancestors. There he listens his grandma's colorful stories, samples Auntie Reginalda's tasty breakfasts, learns about the keys to the universe, and take playful dips in the warm sea.

Maya Christina Gonzalez's lighthearted illustrations perfectly capture the spirit of a summer in Alarcón's Mexico where "colors are more colorful, tastes are tastier, and even time seems to slow down."

Only God will know when we will enjoy of another summer!.......2007-09-24

This is the last line of this brilliant and mesmerizing Spanish testimonial that portraits with radiant realism, the times and livings of four different families in a neighborhood, their illusions, hopes and disappointments, since 1936 to 1939 in Madrid.

The touch of genius of this work was to intermingle in accurate rate the political affairs with the wide range of personages who try to forge their lives although the environment of horror and moral misery.

A human testimonial of first-rate transcendence!

The main character is a city, and its name is Barcelona.......1999-05-01

This book is incredible. It is full of clues to understand the aim and the soul of actual Barcelona, from the roots of the past. For those that have visited Barcelona, a way to re-encounter the charming feeling of this marvelous city.

A real literature book.......1999-01-14

This is really amazing. It describes the history of a 'clever' guy in Barcelona at the end of the last century. It is very entertaiment and once you begin, you can not stop. DO NOT USE IT AS TABLE NIGHT BOOK. If you do so, you will not sleep for the entire night, because you will be reading it. In my opinion these book is not so good as 'Sin noticias de Gurb' but the quality of the vocabulary, the decription of the personages and the treatment of the situations make of this book one of the best of the spanish literature of the last 20 years.

EXCELLENT account of brand new Industrial Barcelonacity life.......1998-09-14

You won't look at Barcelona (while walking through its old district and its Eixample) the same way anymore...

En dos palabras........IM - PRESIONANTE........1998-06-17

One of the best books of this outstanding spanish author. Enjoy Barcelona and spanish way of life in the latest 19th century. Please be sure you take a look to another Mendoza's book, GURB a hilarious short story where an alien makes himself look like Marta Sanchez,8 the spanish Samantha Fox... in a way... )

Product Description

Una primera novela deslumbrante que consagro a la autora de inmediato como una de las grandes revelaciones de la literatura espanola de las ultimas decadas. Sus paginas narran un proceso hacia la indiferencia y la autodestruccion. La narradora descubre paulatinamente que su realidad es una mera reduccion de la vida y el amor un sueno irrealizable en el que siempre traicionamos o nos traicionan. Los personajes de la Tusquets no proponen otra norma de conducta que la conquista -imposible por otra parte-, de la felicidad.

Customer Reviews:

One of the best novels of XXth century Spanish literature!.......2002-03-16

This novel is definitely one of the best literature works from Spain that I have ever read. The language that Esther Tusquets uses in this masterpiece is deeply emotional and profound. Throught the use of this language she enables the reader to penetrate the mind and soul of this female narrator whose name is never spelled out in the entire novel. A painful tragedy, El mismo mar de todos los veranos explores female subjectivity in an unprecedented way by showing how women's condition is still very much limited in the real world. After love, tenderness, hope, illusion, happiness and success in the traditional roles assigned to women (mother, daughter, lover, wife) have failed, the narrator is only left with words, language, imagery, symbolism, and stories from her past. Esther Tusquets also makes a critical representation of marriage, family, heterosexuality, which in the end leave a sense of emptiness and unsatisfaction in the life of this female narrator. Showing how female subjectivity and homosexuality (particularly lesbianism in this case) can only take form and unwind in isolation and hiding from the rest of the world, El mismo mar de todos los veranos takes the reader into this interanl journey where present and past will mingle and coexist in complete isolation. What I personally love about this novel is that it shows our fragile and insignificant condition as human beings; when everything else has failed, when our dreams and illusions have never come true, when we loose the love of our life, and when nothing has ever been what we expected or even what we thought it should have been like, we are only left with a painful and regretful past which is the only thing that seems alive - as the narrator says it in the novel -, language, words, imagery, memories, and the stories that will hunt us forever.
An excellent novel of our time, El mismo mar de todos los veranos creates a deep bond between contemporary readers and makes us think about the relationship that we have with ourselves and with life itself, leaving us with a deep sense of sadness and tragedy yet to be overcome, I believe, by contemporary writers. We will forever wonder what is the name of this narrator that makes us think through her stories and realize how little is there left sometimes in our lives.
An excellent literature masterpiece.

Binding: Paperback
ASIN: B000R98QIC

Product Description

This is the official book about Windsor Castle, in Windsor in the English county of Berkshire, is the largest inhabited castle in the world and, dating back to the time of William the Conqueror, is the oldest in continuous occupation. The castle's floor area is approximately 45,000 square metres (about 484,000 square feet). Together with Buckingham Palace in London and Holyrood Palace in Edinburgh, it is one of the principal official residences of the British monarch. Queen Elizabeth II spends many weekends of the year at the castle, using it for both state and private entertaining. Most of the kings and queens of England have had a direct influence on the construction and evolution of the castle, which has been their garrison fortress, home, official palace, and sometimes their prison. The castle's history and that of the British monarchy are inextricably linked. Chronologically the history of the castle can be traced through the reigns of the monarchs who have occupied it. When the country has been at peace, the castle has been expanded by the additions of large and grand apartments; when the country has been at war, the castle has been more heavily fortified. This pattern has continued to the present day.
