Book Description
La conversión de Charles Chiniquy, un ex sacerdote católico He aquí la hermosa y conmovedora historia de un sacerdote que no pudo permanecer en la Iglesia Católica Romana. Te reirás y llorarás con Chíniquy, y tu corazón se conmoverá con un profundo deseo de obedecer a Cristo y solamente a Él. Siendo niño, Chíniquy memorizaba las Escrituras en el regazo de su madre y desarrolló un profundo amor a Dios. Al llegar a ser sacerdote, desesperadamente quería poner su confianza plena en su “Iglesia”, pero lo inundaban olas de dudas porque su “Iglesia” profesaba adhesión al Evangelio; sin embargo, lo violaba continuamente. Sus superiores celosos le acusaron falsamente, pero Abraham Lincoln lo defendió y salvó su reputación. Chíniquy prueba que fueron los Jesuitas quienes más tarde asesinaron a Abraham Lincoln y explica por qué. Finalmente, su obispo demandó que desechara su preciosa Biblia y prometiera obediencia ciega a la “Iglesia”. Después de una noche oscura de lucha interior, salió gloriosamente salvo y guió casi a toda la población de St. Anne, Illinois, a confiar solamente en Cristo. Esta es la mejor obra que se haya escrito para mostrar, desde adentro, lo que el Catolicismo realmente es.

A World for Julius
Author: Alfredo Bryce Echenique
Publisher: Univ of Wisconsin Press
ISBN: 9780299196745
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 460
Book Description
Julius was born in a mansion on Salaverry Avenue, directly across from the old San Felipe Hippodrome. Life-size Disney characters and cowboy movie heroes romp across the walls of his nursery. Out in the carriage house, his great-grandfather's ornate, moldering carriage takes him on imaginary adventures. But Julius's father is dead, and his beautiful young mother passes through her children's lives like an ephemeral shooting star. Despite the soft shelter of family and money, hard realities overshadow Julius's expanding world, just as the rugged Andes loom over his home in Lima. This lyrical, richly textured novel, first published in 1970 as Un mundo para Julius, opens new territory in Latin American literature with its focus on the social elite of Peru. In this postmodern novel Bryce Echenique incisively charts the decline of an influential, centuries-old aristocratic family faced with the invasion of foreign capital in the 1950s. Winner of the Outstanding Translation Award of the American Literary Translators Association and the Columbia University Translation Center Award.

As an immigrant in an unfamiliar country, with an indifferent mother and abusive father, Reyna had few resources at her disposal. Taking refuge in words, Reyna’s love of reading and writing propels her to rise above until she achieves the impossible and is accepted to the University of California, Santa Cruz. Although her acceptance is a triumph, the actual experience of American college life is intimidating and unfamiliar for someone like Reyna, who is now estranged from her family and support system.

Through it all, Reyna is determined to make the impossible possible, going from undocumented immigrant of little means to “a fierce, smart, shimmering light of a writer” (Cheryl Strayed, author of Wild); a National Book Critics Circle Award Finalist whose “power is growing with every book” (Luis Alberto Urrea, Pultizer Prize finalist); and a proud mother of two beautiful children who will never have to know the pain of poverty and neglect. Told in Reyna’s exquisite, heartfelt prose, A Dream Called Home demonstrates how, by daring to pursue her dreams, Reyna was able to build the one thing she had always longed for: a home that would endure.
