Book Description
Camilo is an owl who is afraid of the dark, both with his eyes open and closed. That is why he does not go out with his parents or friends at night. And that is also why he can’t fall asleep. Darkness scares him! His parents thought that he was like a wild owl, one of those who sleep at night, but when they realized that it was that Camilo was afraid of the dark, then they decided, as a family, to discover the beauty that can only be created and seen in the dark. This book is an invitation to family dialogue and to believe that there is beauty even in the darkest moments of life. Camilo es un Búho que le teme a la oscuridad con los ojos abiertos y con los ojos cerrados. Es por eso que no sale con sus padres, ni con sus amigos en las noches, y es por eso que tampoco logra conciliar el sueño. ¡La oscuridad lo espanta! Sus padres creían que era un búho campestre, de esos que duermen en la noche, pero al comprender que no era así, se propusieron en familia descubrir la belleza que solo se ve y se crea en la oscuridad. Un libro que invita al diálogo familiar y a creer que, aún en los momentos más oscuros de la vida, hay belleza.

Our Word is Our Weapon
Author: Subcomandante Marcos
Publisher: Seven Stories Press
ISBN: 9781583224724
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 518
Book Description
In this landmark book, Seven Stories Press presents a powerful collection of literary, philosophical, and political writings of the masked Zapatista spokesperson, Subcomandante Insurgente Marcos. Introduced by Nobel Prize winner José Saramago, and illustrated with beautiful black and white photographs, Our Word Is Our Weapon crystallizes "the passion of a rebel, the poetry of a movement, and the literary genius of indigenous Mexico." Marcos first captured world attention on January 1, 1994, when he and an indigenous guerrilla group calling themselves "Zapatistas" revolted against the Mexican government and seized key towns in Mexico's southernmost state of Chiapas. In the six years that have passed since their uprising, Marcos has altered the course of Mexican politics and emerged an international symbol of grassroots movement-building, rebellion, and democracy. The prolific stream of poetic political writings, tales, and traditional myths that Marcos has penned since January 1, 1994 fill more than four volumes. Our Word Is Our Weapon presents the best of these writings, many of which have never been published before in English. Throughout this remarkable book we hear the uncompromising voice of indigenous communities living in resistance, expressing through manifestos and myths the universal human urge for dignity, democracy, and liberation. It is the voice of a people refusing to be forgotten the voice of Mexico in transition, the voice of a people struggling for democracy by using their word as their only weapon.

Book Description
Fandom and first love collide in in this joyful, feminist contemporary romance from acclaimed author Cory McCarthy—perfect for fans of Rainbow Rowell and Ashley Poston Iris Thorne wants to blaze her own path. That's easier said than done when you're the granddaughter of M. E. Thorne, famous author of the Elementia series, hailed as the feminist response to J. R. R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings. And with a major motion picture adaptation of her grandmother's books in the works, Iris can say goodbye to her dream of making her own way in the music industry. When Iris and her brother get invited to the film set in Ireland, she's pretty sure the trip will be a nightmare. Except Iris can't deny the rugged beauty of the Irish countryside. And brushing shoulders with the hot, young cast isn't awful, especially the infuriatingly charming lead actor, Eamon O'Brien. Iris even finds the impassioned female director inspiring. But when the filming falls into jeopardy, everything Iris thought she knew about Elementia—and herself—is in question. Will making a film for the big screen help Iris to see the big picture?
