| es una historia de amor: The Last True Love Story Brendan Kiely, 2016-09-13 From the New York Times bestselling and critically acclaimed coauthor of All American Boys and author of The Gospel of Winter comes a cool, contemplative spin on hot summer nights and the classic teen love story as two teens embark on a cross-country journey of the heart and soul. The point of living is learning how to love. That’s what Gpa says. To Hendrix and Corrina, both seventeen but otherwise alike only in their loneliness, that sounds like another line from a pop song that tries to promise kids that life doesn’t actually suck. Okay, so: love. Sure. The thing about Corrina—her adoptive parents are suffocating, trying to mold her into someone acceptable, predictable, like them. She’s a musician, itching for any chance to escape, become the person she really wants to be. Whoever that is. And Hendrix, he’s cool. Kind of a poet. But also kind of lost. His dad is dead and his mom is married to her job. Gpa is his only real family, but he’s fading fast from Alzheimer’s. Looking for any way to help the man who raised him, Hendrix has made Gpa an impossible promise—that he’ll get him back east to the hill where he first kissed his wife, before his illness wipes away all memory of her. One hot July night, Hendrix and Corrina decide to risk everything. They steal a car, spring Gpa from his assisted living facility, stuff Old Humper the dog into the back seat, and take off on a cross-country odyssey from LA to NY. With their parents, Gpa’s doctors, and the police all hot on their heels, Hendrix and Corrina set off to discover for themselves if what Gpa says is true—that the only stories that last are love stories. |

Las herramientas son las acostumbradas: grandes historias, personajes hilarantes, gente sensible y gente que no, paisajes reconocibles y vacilaciones humanas. La mirada del autor sobre el amor es generosa, propia del observador agudo, con dosis recomendadas de compasión y ternura. Y también es sorprendente. Hay borradores de teorías, anotaciones para seguir pensando, muchas preguntas, algunas respuestas y, a modo de fondo de pantalla, un pensamiento posible que aquí se extrae de uno de los relatos: Y vivieron felices e infelices para siempre, que es todo lo que se le puede pedir al amor, la imperfección más conveniente que puede ofrecernos la vida. |

| es una historia de amor: To Selena, with Love Chris Perez, 2013-11-05 Chris Perez tells the story of his relationship with music superstar Selena in this heartfelt tribute. One of the most compelling and adored superstars in Latin music history, Selena was nothing short of a phenomenon who shared all of herself with her millions of devoted fans. Her tragic murder, at the age of twenty-three, stripped the world of her talent and boundless potential, her tightly-knit family of their beloved angel, and her husband, Chris Perez, of the greatest love he had ever known. For over a decade, Chris held onto the only personal thing he had left from his late wife—the touching and sometimes painful memories of their very private bond. Now, for the first time, Chris opens up about their unbreakable friendship, their forbidden relationship, and their blossoming marriage that was cut short. Chris’s powerful story gives a rare glimpse into Selena’s sincerity and vulnerability when falling in love, strength and conviction when fighting for that love, and absolute resilience when finding peace and normalcy with her family’s acceptance of the only man she called her husband. While showcasing a side of Selena that has never been disclosed before and clarifying certain misconceptions about her life and death, To Selena, with Love is an everlasting love story that immortalizes the heart and soul of an extraordinary, unforgettable, and irreplaceable icon. This commemorative edition includes photos and a special chapter detailing the author’s reflection since writing the book. |

| es una historia de amor: In Real Life Leticia Sala, 2020-09-01 In Real Life: An Online Love Story is the first of its kind—a bilingual novel-in-poetry written by popular Spanish-language poet Leticia Sala. In Real Life is not only about a young Barcelona woman who finds romance online thousands of miles away in New York City, it is also an ode to the titanic effort required in staying loyal to a commitment and her own individuality in the silicon age. Told in a poetic key, the fate of this couple, whose relationship begins with love at first like, offers a fractured mosaic of essential moments crowded with insecurities and urban neuroses, both contemporary and universal. The characters in the work of Leticia Sala seek light in the chaos churned out by modern culture and are always treated by the author with compassion, regard, and respect for their unfolding desires. In Real Life captures our infatuation with technology and finding new ways of relating to one another, our fascination with travel and language, and our age-old obsession with that right to love and feel loved. |

| es una historia de amor: Loving and Hating Mathematics Reuben Hersh, Vera John-Steiner, 2010-12-13 An exploration of the hidden human, emotional, and social dimensions of mathematics Mathematics is often thought of as the coldest expression of pure reason. But few subjects provoke hotter emotions—and inspire more love and hatred—than mathematics. And although math is frequently idealized as floating above the messiness of human life, its story is nothing if not human; often, it is all too human. Loving and Hating Mathematics is about the hidden human, emotional, and social forces that shape mathematics and affect the experiences of students and mathematicians. Written in a lively, accessible style, and filled with gripping stories and anecdotes, Loving and Hating Mathematics brings home the intense pleasures and pains of mathematical life. These stories challenge many myths, including the notions that mathematics is a solitary pursuit and a young man's game, the belief that mathematicians are emotionally different from other people, and even the idea that to be a great mathematician it helps to be a little bit crazy. Reuben Hersh and Vera John-Steiner tell stories of lives in math from their very beginnings through old age, including accounts of teaching and mentoring, friendships and rivalries, love affairs and marriages, and the experiences of women and minorities in a field that has traditionally been unfriendly to both. Included here are also stories of people for whom mathematics has been an immense solace during times of crisis, war, and even imprisonment—as well as of those rare individuals driven to insanity and even murder by an obsession with math. This is a book for anyone who wants to understand why the most rational of human endeavors is at the same time one of the most emotional. |

| es una historia de amor: The Shape of the Ruins Juan Gabriel Vasquez, 2018-09-25 SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2019 MAN BOOKER INTERNATIONAL PRIZE A sweeping tale of conspiracy theories, assassinations, and twisted obsessions -- the much anticipated masterpiece from Juan Gabriel Vásquez. The Shape of the Ruins is a masterly story of conspiracy, political obsession, and literary investigation. When a man is arrested at a museum for attempting to steal the bullet-ridden suit of a murdered Colombian politician, few notice. But soon this thwarted theft takes on greater meaning as it becomes a thread in a widening web of popular fixations with conspiracy theories, assassinations, and historical secrets; and it haunts those who feel that only they know the real truth behind these killings. This novel explores the darkest moments of a country's past and brings to life the ways in which past violence shapes our present lives. A compulsive read, beautiful and profound, eerily relevant to our times and deeply personal, The Shape of the Ruins is a tour-de-force story by a master at uncovering the incisive wounds of our memories. |

| es una historia de amor: The Book of Good Love Mario D. Di Cesare, Juan Ruiz, 1970 A masterpiece in the tradition of the Decameron and the Canterbury Tales, Juan Ruiz's fourteenth-century Spanish narrative poem combines the comic and the serious, the bawdy and the practical, the satiric and the tender, the devout and the blasphemous. In a first prose translation, Professors Mignani and Di Cesare succeed in conveying the vitality and sly humor of the original. The poem consists of a loosely unified series of fourteen amorous adventures of the Archpriest of Hita, interlaced with debates, fabliaux, fables, and exempla. Ruiz suggests that while man ought to seek buen amor (true love, or love of God), he is prone to loco amor, or worldly love. The Book proposes to show human folly so that men may be forewarned of the bad and choose the good. The episodes related in the stanzas and in songs in various lyrical styles parody such conventions as courtly love, epic battle, or church ritual. Ruiz was clearly fascinated by the concrete, as well as the allegorical, for his episodes have dates and actual settings, and popular speech is incorporated into his verses. In their introduction, the translators survey the major scholarly studies of the poem and offer their own critical reading of it. Their annotated bibliography and notes to the translation will be useful to students as well as scholars. |

Then there are the visits from the kind but mysterious apparition she calls Grandmother, who tells her, You have three months to save him.

| es una historia de amor: The Love Hypothesis Ali Hazelwood, 2021-09-14 The Instant New York Times Bestseller and TikTok Sensation! As seen on THE VIEW! A BuzzFeed Best Summer Read of 2021 When a fake relationship between scientists meets the irresistible force of attraction, it throws one woman's carefully calculated theories on love into chaos. As a third-year Ph.D. candidate, Olive Smith doesn't believe in lasting romantic relationships--but her best friend does, and that's what got her into this situation. Convincing Anh that Olive is dating and well on her way to a happily ever after was always going to take more than hand-wavy Jedi mind tricks: Scientists require proof. So, like any self-respecting biologist, Olive panics and kisses the first man she sees. That man is none other than Adam Carlsen, a young hotshot professor--and well-known ass. Which is why Olive is positively floored when Stanford's reigning lab tyrant agrees to keep her charade a secret and be her fake boyfriend. But when a big science conference goes haywire, putting Olive's career on the Bunsen burner, Adam surprises her again with his unyielding support and even more unyielding...six-pack abs. Suddenly their little experiment feels dangerously close to combustion. And Olive discovers that the only thing more complicated than a hypothesis on love is putting her own heart under the microscope. |

| es una historia de amor: Israel, Palestine and Peace Amos Oz, 1995-09-04 “Powerful” essays from a founder of the Peace Now movement and advocate for a two-state solution (Library Journal). The haunting poetry of [Oz's] prose and the stunning logic of his testimony make a potent mixture. —Washington Post Book World Amos Oz was one of the first voices of conscience to advocate for a two-state solution. As a founding member of the Peace Now movement, Oz has spent over thirty-five years speaking out on this issue, and these powerful essays and speeches span an important and formative period for understanding today's tension and crises. Whether he is discoursing on the role of writers in society or recalling his grandmother's death in the context of the language's veracity; examining the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as a tragicomedy or questioning the Zionist dream, Oz remains trenchant and unflinching in this moving portrait of a divided land. [Oz is] the modern prophet of Israel. —Sunday Telegraph (UK) |

| es una historia de amor: La Otra Mitad de Nosotros F. Rubi, 2012-01-11 Uno de los grandes males que agobian al mundo actualmente, es la desesperanza. Una desesperanza nacida de la frustración, propiciada por la gran crisis económica que nos atosiga y que parece no tener solución, por lo menos en el corto plazo. La idea que se nos vendió, avalada por los medios masivos de comunicación, de un mundo globalizado promisorio, con oportunidades para todos, se desmoronó como un castillo de naipes al primer soplo de inestabilidad. Pero esta situación que ahora padecemos, producto de la avaricia y la falta de escrúpulos más ruin que pueda imaginarse, no se dio de un día para otro; se fue incubando, por años, al interior del sistema financiero internacional como un mal bicho que al hacer su aparición de manera intempestiva, cogió a todo mundo desprevenido y sin saber qué medidas tomar para remediar la situación. Los expertos, emocionados con un sistema económico en expansión, nunca se imaginaron que algo podría salirse del carril desbarrancándose, y arrastrara consigo a la mayoría de los países que participaban en el juego. No pensaron que las triquiñuelas de las que echaron mano, durante tanto tiempo, para enriquecer a unos cuantos vivales, tuvieran un efecto tan expansivo y, por lo mismo, tan devastador, en la mayoría de las sociedades inmiscuidas y por eso mismo, atrapadas irremediablemente en la debacle financiera. LA OTRA MITAD DE NOSOTROS toca el tema de manera puntual, lo mismo que los temas de la injusticia, la educación, la política (la mala política, que acostumbra sentar sus reales en muchos países en el mundo y de la que es muy difícil desprenderse), la religión y la música; de ésta última y de manera especial, hace una semblanza novedosa y conmovedora de Los Beatles, el genial cuarteto de Liverpool, que influyó de manera decisiva y profunda en el ánimo de toda una generación y que sigue causando expectativas y comentarios en los corrillos discográficos, con una visión original y muy personal del autor. No hay tema de importancia relevante que esta obra no toque y lo hace a través de un lenguaje simple, enriquecido con todo tipo de florituras lingüísticas que no solo lo hacen único, sino completamente comprensible y disfrutable en todo momento. La obra consta de ocho capítulos y una posdata; cada capítulo lleva por título, el título de una canción conocida de la década de los setentas y nos atreveríamos a decir que pocas veces en la historia de la literatura universal, el nombre del capítulo tiene tanta afinidad con el tema que retrata, pero, y esto es lo verdaderamente importante, los capítulos se podrían alterar, entremezclar o leerse como un ente individual y aún así, no perdería ni su sentido ni su frescor. De la mano del personaje principal, vamos descubriendo el sub mundo incomprensible, a veces absurdo y hostil, en el que nos movemos constantemente sin percatarnos apenas de su presencia. Vivimos el día a día y los actos que rigen nuestra conducta para con los demás, aquellos que nos son ajenos o extraños son, en el mejor de los casos, de una total arrogancia. En no pocas ocasiones, los miramos con un desprecio poco disimulado, porque los consideramos seres sin valor, objetos que se pueden comprar o vender, insultar o lastimar sin que sintamos culpa por ello. Los valores que regían nuestra conducta, hasta bien entrada la última parte del siglo veinte, se han ido perdiendo poco a poco, para dar paso a una nueva visión del mundo, con enfoques que a muchos nos parecen ruines y perversos. Pero no se piense, por esto, que todo está perdido. A lo largo de su periplo, nuestro personaje recibe constantes muestras de solidaridad y afecto aún de los que nada tienen, de aquellos menos favorecidos por la suerte, lo que demuestra que los seres humanos somos capaces de superar los escollos más difíciles que se nos presenten con un poco de ayuda y que nuestra capacidad de reacción, en momentos críticos y ante los embates del destino, demuestran que nuestra mayor |
