Penny, caída del cielo

Saboreando el cielo

Retrato de una familia italoamericana

Una infancia palestina

A translation of Penny from Heaven (9780375836893)

A translation of Tasting the Sky: A Palestinian Childhood (9780374357337)

Jennifer L. Holm

Ibtisam Barakat

• Newbery Honor Book 2007

• Winner of the 2007 Arab American Book Award

Touching and multilayered, this novel tells the story of Penny, an 11-year-old Italian American living in 1950s New Jersey who is looking forward to a summer of butter pecan ice cream, swimming, and baseball. Penny’s idyll is shattered by several events, though. First, her mother starts dating the milkman. Then, Penny’s arm goes through the wringer on the washing machine. Finally, details about her father’s death, which her family has refused to discuss until this point, begin to surface. This clearly drawn tale eloquently describes the intricacies of family life.

A powerful and groundbreaking memoir set in Ramallah during the aftermath of the 1967 Six-Day War, this work captures what it is like to be a child whose world is shattered by war. Candid and courageous, it stitches together the haunting memories of the narrator’s life: the fear and confusion felt as bombs explode near her home and she is separated from her family, the harshness of life as a Palestinian refugee, and her unexpected joy when she discovers the first letter of the Arabic alphabet. As language becomes her refuge, she begins to piece together the fragments of her splintered world.

Conmovedora y multidimensional, esta novela relata la historia de Penny, una italoamericana de 11 años viviendo en Nueva Jersey en los años 50 que mira con anticipación un verano lleno de helado de pecanas con mantequilla, natación y béisbol. Sin embargo, el idilio de Penny es interrumpido por varios eventos. Primero, su madre empieza a salir con el lechero. Entonces, el brazo de Penny se tranca en el escurridor de la lavadora. Finalmente, algunos detalles sobre la muerte de su padre, sobre el cual su familia ha rehusado hablar hasta este punto, empiezan a salir. Este cuento bien trazado describe elocuentemente las complejidades de la vida familiar.

Una biografía conmovedora y vanguardista ambientado en Ramala a finales de la Guerra de los Seis Días, este relato captura lo que es ser una niña cuyo mundo está trastornado por la guerra. Sincero y valiente, reúne las memorias evocadoras de la juventud de la narradora: el temor y la confusión que sentía cuando caen bombas cerca de su casa y ella es separada de su familia, la dureza de la vida como una refugiada palestina y su gozo imprevisible al descubrir la primera letra del alfabeto árabe. A la medida que el lenguaje se convierte en su refugio, ella comienza a construir pieza por pieza su mundo astillado.

One day, a man with a face made of cardboard arrived in Villasilla. His name is Uriel, and he is the conductor of a bus made of paper. When he asks to have all of the paper in town, children learn about the importance of recycling.

Once there was an alarm clock that did not know how to count, but he knew how to ring. He rang all the time, but the watchmaker soon tired of hearing the incessant ringing and threw the alarm clock out. The poor alarm clock then had no choice but to find a solution to his lack of precision.

Martin washes up on the shores of Gamopelusia, the fabled island of cheese. The natives soon realize that he is the Chosen One, sent by ancient prophecy to save them from doom. Martin, aided by his friends Nehuén MacTucán and Ursúlica Telépata, puts his ingenuity to work while completing his mission, but finds there are those who seek to betray him.

Gimp-Gam the pirate has always had bad luck, but never worse than when his ship is attacked one night by the pirate ToothSnatcher, who takes half of Gimp-Gam’s crew prisoner. In order to rescue his friends, Gimp-Gam embarks on a journey filled with humorous reversals that ultimately leads him to an island where he’ll have to search for a hidden treasure guarded by a terrible monster.

Catalina has new braces on her teeth and, not knowing what effect her new appearance will have on people, she shies away from them. To keep herself entertained, she sets about finding the prettiest word in the world—because while she may hate her name, Catalina loves words. Her search for the perfect word may just help draw her out of her shell. A Catalina acaban de instalarle un aparato corrector en la boca y, sin saber que impresión va a causar su nuevo aspecto, se retira de la gente. Para entretenerse, decide buscar la palabra más bonita del mundo— porque aunque no le guste su nombre, le gustan muchísimo las palabras. Su búsqueda por la palabra perfecta podrá ayudar curarla de su timidez. Marisa López Soria is an award-winning author and essayist. Araiz Mesanza is an illustrator who studied at the Escola Massana in Barcelona.

El pirata Mala Pata siempre ha tenido mala suerte, pero jamás como cuando su barco es atacado una noche por el pirata Sacamuelas, quien rapta a media tripulación. Para rescatar a sus compañeros, Mala Pata se aventura en una empresa llena de divertidas peripecias y acaba en una isla buscando un tesoro escondido en la cueva de un terrible monstruo.

When every rescue group fails to find her, the animals on the island begin to live in fear and even doubt their king. The situation then becomes worse when a mysterious illness begins to spread on the island, and tensions later peak when some animals claim to have seen the frightening Captain Husk—whom everyone thought was dead. Wondering why he is back and whether he had anything to do with Catkin’s kidnapping, Urchin and Juniper try to discover his secret and find the princess.

Humorous and more insightful than they may initially appear, these short sketches shed light on human nature and its capacity for cruelty through the witty dialogue of the characters.

Chasing money and independence, two friends, Rinconete and Cortadillo, run away from home and make their living on the streets by petty thievery. What begins as an adventurous journey littered with misdemeanors turns dangerous in Sevilla, where they fall in with Monipodio and his gang of ruffians.

Inteligencia ecológica A translation of Ecological Intelligence: How Knowing the Hidden Impacts of What We Buy Can Change Everything (9780385527828)

Daniel Goleman Arguing that consumers and manufacturers share the responsibility for a cleaner and healthier environment, this eloquent and timely discussion urges the former to balance the market toward designs, ingredients, and technologies that reflect their ecological sensibilities, while exhorting the latter to modify their industrial processes on the basis of their environmental impacts. Such steps would foment a radical transparency where products are concerned and make all of the parties in the global marketplace active players in determining the course of the planet and societal well-being. Manteniendo que los consumidores y los fabricantes comparten la responsabilidad para un medioambiente más limpio y sano, esta discusión elocuente y de gran actualidad urge a los primeros a balancear el mercado hacia diseños, ingredientes y tecnologías que reflejan sus sensibilidades ecológicas, mientras que exhorta a los últimos a modificar sus procesos industriales tomando en cuenta sus consecuencias ambientales. Tales pasos fomentarían una transparencia radical de productos y convertirían a todos los grupos en el mercado global jugadores activos en determinar el curso del planeta y el bienestar social.

A translation of Beyond Awakening: The End of the Spiritual Search (9780955399978)

David Loy

Gathering stories, essays, and poems from spiritual and philosophical luminaries from a wide array of traditions, including Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, and Judaism, this diverse and remarkable compilation is a mosaic of individuals who achieved enlightenment—that elusive sense of profound peace, extreme happiness, and a deep understanding of the truth. A brief, biographical sketch of each featured individual provides context for digesting inspirational experiences from figures such as the Buddha, Krishnamurti, Rumi, and St. John of the Cross. Reuniendo historias, ensayos y poemas de lumbreras espirituales y filosóficas de una selección amplia de tradiciones, incluyendo el Budismo, el Cristianismo, el Islam y el Judaísmo, esta diversa y extraordinaria recopilación es un mosaico de individuos que alcanzaron la iluminación—ese sentido elusivo de paz profunda, felicidad extrema y una profunda comprensión de la verdad. Una biografía breve de cada individuo provee contexto para digerir experiencias inspirantes de personajes como el Buda, Krishnamurti, Rumi y San Juan de la Cruz. Robert Ullman and Judyth Reichenberg-Ullman are naturopathic physicians board-certified in homeopathic medicine and the authors of A Drug-Free Approach to Asperger Syndrome and Autism and Ritalin-Free Kids. They both live in Langley, Washington. The Dalai Lama received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989 and is the author of several books, including The Art of Happiness and How to Practice: The Way to a Meaningful Life.

With clarity and openness, this proposal offers presentations of oft-misunderstood Buddhist staples—karma, the nature of self, the causes of both individual and societal troubles—and encourages stark self-reflection on issues such as modern society’s constant drive for more money, sex, stimulation, and the seemingly unending propensity for war. Offering profound alternatives to these negative aspects of modern life, this guide puts forth ideas for a revolution that favors social justice and peace. Buddhist thought meets Western sensibilities in this bracing, hopeful, and empowering discussion. Con claridad y franqueza, esta propuesta ofrece presentaciones de elementos básicos del budismo frecuentemente mal interpretados—el karma, la naturaleza del yo y las causas de problemas individuales y sociales—y anima autorreflexión escueta sobre temas como el impulso constante de la sociedad a tener más dinero, más sexo y más estimulación y la propensión al parecer sin fin por la guerra. Ofreciendo alternativas profundas ante estos aspectos negativos de la vida moderna, esta guía plantea ideas para una revolución a favor de la justicia social y la paz. El pensamiento budista se encuentra con sensibilidades occidentales en esta discusión vigorizante, optimista y apoderada.

Enneagram: The Deceptions of Character and Their Antidotes

Carmen Durán and Antonio Catalán With the Enneagram as its foundation, this examination describes the nine different personality types distinguished by this ancient Sufi teaching and demonstrates how each individual possesses one dominant type that determines his way of feeling about and perceiving the world. More than simply providing an analytic description of each character type, however, this guide shows how the Enneagram itself proposes antidotes to the shortcomings of each personality type. These antidotes lead to greater freedom and increased creativity and spontaneity when dealing with changing circumstances. A section that uses nine characters from Honoré de Balzac’s work as examples of the personality types is also included. Con el eneagrama como fundación, esta investigación describe los nueve tipos de personalidad distinguidos por esta antigua enseñanza sufí y muestra cómo cada persona posee un tipo dominante que determina su forma de sentir y ver el mundo. Más allá de simplemente proveer una descripción analítica de cada tipo de carácter, sin embargo, esta guía enseña cómo el eneagrama mismo ofrece antídotos contra los defectos de cada tipo de personalidad. Estos antídotos conducen a mayor libertad y mayor creatividad y espontaneidad cuando respondiendo a circunstancias nuevas. Se incluye también una sección que usa nueve personajes de las obras de Honoré de Balzac como ejemplos de los tipos de personalidad.
