Summary : "—No me ves por un par de años y ya no me reconoces, niña —dijo regalándome una sonrisa ancha, de esas con las que se le marcan los hoyuelos. Madre santa, esa sonrisa—. Ven a darme un abrazo —dijo dejando la tabla en la arena y abriendo sus ahora fuertes brazos que se dejaban ver por la musculosa. Me paré todavía pasmada y lo abracé; él me envolvió con cariño y me levantó prácticamente sin esfuerzo. Yo sentí que todo daba vueltas." Todos los veranos la familia de Adelina, alias "Lina", se reúne con los Soriano y los Moscú en el mismo lugar para compartir noches de cenas y días de playa. Los adultos creen que los chicos se llevan bien y, por su lado, Lina aprendió a llevarlo de la mejor manera posible. Lo cierto es que ella pasa la mayor parte del tiempo con los mellizos Terra y León, Axel le cae pésimo y su preferido fue y será Shep desde que tiene seis años. Los dos últimos años Shep no fue a veranear con ellos; sí lo hizo su primo Axel, que se convirtió en algo así como en la peor pesadilla de Lina... Hasta que a los dieciséis de ella y a los dieciocho de él, Lina y Shep se vuelven a encontrar y, así como las olas reescriben sus propias marcas sobre la arena en la orilla del mar, ya nada volvió a ser como en la infancia. Con la frescura y desfachatez que caracterizan su escritura, Jazmín Riera nos sumerge en una historia entrañable de ilusiones, desencantos y despertares amorosos entre tablas de surf, fiestas en la playa y recuerdos vividos que jamás se olvidan.

Summary : Sofía y Ambrose estaban destinados a colisionar en Cudillero. Ella iba todos los veranos. Él vivía allí. Dos desconocidos que cayeron abrazados a la piscina aquel mes de julio… Cinco años después, Sofía vuelve dispuesta a cumplir una vieja promesa y romper cualquier vínculo que le ate a Ambrose. Pero él está distinto. En su intensa mirada azul hay una dureza desconocida. Y todo se complica. Da igual lo que intente apartarle de su mente, recuerda los atardeceres reflejados en las olas. Recuerda subir a Marte. Recuerda que le partió el corazón. Esta es la historia de una chica. Un chico. Y un puñado de quizás. Porque hay huellas en la arena que ni el viento es capaz de borrar. Porque hay amores de verano que sobreviven al paso del tiempo… o no.

Summary : (abridged and revised) This reference grammar offers intermediate and advanced students a reason ably comprehensive guide to the morphology and syntax of educated speech and plain prose in Spain and Latin America at the end of the twentieth century. Spanish is the main, usually the sole official language of twenty-one countries,} and it is set fair to overtake English by the year 2000 in numbers 2 of native speakers. This vast geographical and political diversity ensures that Spanish is a good deal less unified than French, German or even English, the latter more or less internationally standardized according to either American or British norms. Until the 1960s, the criteria of internationally correct Spanish were dictated by the Real Academia Espanola, but the prestige of this institution has now sunk so low that its most solemn decrees are hardly taken seriously - witness the fate of the spelling reforms listed in the Nuevas normas de prosodia y ortograjia, which were supposed to come into force in all Spanish-speaking countries in 1959 and, nearly forty years later, are still selectively ignored by publishers and literate persons everywhere. The fact is that in Spanish 'correctness' is nowadays decided, as it is in all living languages, by the consensus of native speakers; but consensus about linguistic usage is obviously difficult to achieve between more than twenty independent, widely scattered and sometimes mutually hostile countries. Peninsular Spanish is itself in flux.

Summary : 'A masterly novel' New York Times 'Such is the exquisite, gossamer construction of Murakami's writing that everything he chooses to describe trembles with symbolic possibility' Guardian Read the haunting love story that turned Murakami into a literary superstar. When he hears her favourite Beatles song, Toru Watanabe recalls his first love Naoko, the girlfriend of his best friend Kizuki. Immediately he is transported back almost twenty years to his student days in Tokyo, adrift in a world of uneasy friendships, casual sex, passion, loss and desire - to a time when an impetuous young woman called Midori marches into his life and he has to choose between the future and the past. *Murakami's new book Novelist as a Vocation is available now* 'Evocative, entertaining, sexy and funny; but then Murakami is one of the best writers around' Time Out 'Poignant, romantic and hopeless, it beautifully encapsulates the heartbreak and loss of faith' Sunday Times 'This book is undeniably hip, full of student uprisings, free love, booze and 1960s pop, it's also genuinely emotionally engaging, and describes the highs of adolescence as well as the lows' Independent on Sunday

Summary : In 2015, the Mexican state counted how many of its citizens identified as Afro-Mexican for the first time since independence. Finding Afro-Mexico reveals the transnational interdisciplinary histories that led to this celebrated reformulation of Mexican national identity. It traces the Mexican, African American, and Cuban writers, poets, anthropologists, artists, composers, historians, and archaeologists who integrated Mexican history, culture, and society into the African Diaspora after the Revolution of 1910. Theodore W. Cohen persuasively shows how these intellectuals rejected the nineteenth-century racial paradigms that heralded black disappearance when they made blackness visible first in Mexican culture and then in post-revolutionary society. Drawing from more than twenty different archives across the Americas, this cultural and intellectual history of black visibility, invisibility, and community-formation questions the racial, cultural, and political dimensions of Mexican history and Afro-diasporic thought.

Summary : Nowadays thousands of grammar books, textbooks, outlines, references and language guides of Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and French are published year by year. However, all of them teach these languages separately. Here you will find a comparative grammar of the four major Romance languages together based on their grammatical and lexical similarities for you, lovers of foreign languages, to learn and compare Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and French simultaneously. It is an audacious endeavor to find or create a novel way of learning to speak several languages and becoming a multilingual person. It took me over 3 years to finish the book. It consists of over 800 pages, 10 chapters covering all the grammatical aspects of these 4 languages. It includes over 1000 examples, 500 easy-to-follow charts and tables. It contains 138 geographical, historical and cultural facts about Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and French countries.Below I will discuss several reasons why I decided to write this book and why you need it.1) First of all, this book is written for readers like you who are fond of or would like to learn Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and French simultaneously or just to get an all-round knowledge of all these four Romance languages. It is designed not only for beginners who do not have an extensive knowledge of grammar, yet need a guide through the grammatical concepts of all mentioned above languages, but also intermediate and advanced students who would like to have a reference book ofseveral Romance languages at once.2) Second of all I spent many years learning these languages separately, which was a complete waste of time before I realized it.
