Divine Intervention is the story of a humble person who was born in El Salvador, being the fourth daughter of nine brothers and sisters. She once lived the most amazing childhood surrounded by nature and love in a place of freedom and happiness where all the children have the freedom to play together in a secure environment. During school time, I had a wonderful experience in learning in my humble public school. We, all the children of the community, walk together to the school with no fear; we walk in a safe environment. During 1980s, the country was having a social change. It was not safe anymore; I just looked at the chaos that was happening in our communities, with the families. The community was not safe anymore; what I saw was destruction and poverty, no job opportunities. I decided to migrate to the United States. I knew it would not be easy, but I took the risk of losing my life in the journey, by crossing the desert and getting on board of the train, The Beast, looking for my American dream. Like many immigrants who leave their loved ones to give them a better future, I also left my eighteen-month-old baby. I went through this pain that is hard to explain, and only the...
The official WTO certified text of the Protocol of Accession negotiated by the Separate Customs Territory of Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen and Matsu to join the WTO.
Francisco Bustos eloquently writes of Colonia Ruiz Cortinez and Barrio San Ysidro, waiting in la linea to be scrutinized by U.S. Customs officials, and of the bi-national journey of living both in the United States and Mxico. His melodic tone defies the fast-paced world of schedules, while being actively engaged in the moment, and then fleeting down another street to encounter another tale. As es la vida qu no?, Bustos says, As es. Michael Cheno Wickert focuses mainly on living in the barrios of Southeast San Diego where life often turns toward violence and suspicion is commonplace. It is a place where identities are shattered and reconfigured from the broken pieces into a kaleidoscope. It is a land of churches, liquor stores, and taco shops. It is where paint, blood, sweat, and salsa drip from the body and splat on weather-worn sidewalks to tell the stories of an America often ignored.

«Conserva intacta no sólo su carga literaria, sino su capacidad de interpelar al sistema entero de la narrativa en lengua castellana, moviéndolo a una reconsideración de sus propias premisas.» (Ignacio Echevarría). Con su colosal envergadura, Antagonía constituye sin duda una de las más altas cumbres de la narrativa española. Saludada desde muy pronto como una obra maestra, los extraordinarios alcances de esta novela permanecen desconocidos aún para muchos lectores por los malentendidos a que dio lugar su publicación original en cuatro entregas. Treinta años después de concluida, Antagonía es una novela en buena medida por descubrir no sólo para las nuevas generaciones -que han de sentirse impactadas por la sorprendente vigencia de sus planteamientos narrativos-, sino también para los muchos que en su día hicieron una lectura parcial de cualquiera de sus «libros». De ahí el valor de esta nueva edición, que ofrece por fin la novela tal y como debió ser percibida desde un principio: como un todo indisociable. Una obra monumental cuyos logros admiten ser comprados a los de obras como Retrato del artista adolescente, de James Joyce, En busca del tiempo perdido de ...

La mayor parte de este libro, así como su estructura, sehicieron en África, perodeseando que fuera de utilidad en países a ambos lados del Océano Atlántico. Es porello que he tratado de ampliar el material recopilado, con vocablos y expresionesafines a las especialidades médicas fundamentales (sobre todo Cirugía, Pediatría,Obstetricia y Ginecología, y Medicina Interna). Este libro no pretende ser un texto deidioma, y por tanto se sobreentiende que quienes mayor provecho podrán sacar de élserán aquellos que tengan ciertos conocimientos básicos, pues aquí se omiten muchosaspectos gramaticales y de vocabulario general que se suponen que ya sean conocidospor el que hace uso del presente material, en el cual han sido enfocadosfundamentalmente aquellos términos, abreviaturas y frases que mayores dificultadesofrecen, en mi opinión, al tipo de lectores hacia los cualesva dirigido.
Although the two parts are now published as a single work, Don Quixote, Part Two was a sequel published ten years after the original novel. While Part One was mostly farcical, the second half is more serious and philosophical about the theme of deception. Part Two of Don Quixote explores the concept of a character understanding that he is written about: an idea much explored in the 20th century.
