Mientras Escucho Sentada Aquí
by Lilian G. Selvaggio Valerie HockertUna mujer de mediana edad, a quien le gusta entretener, había perdido a su esposo recientemente, y pensó que su vida ya no tenía valor y que ella era inservible. Habia estado recolectando recuerdos y fotos en una caja y en un álbum, recordando, cuando tuvo la idea de organizar una fiesta y pedirle a cada invitada que trajera algo viejo y nostálgico--un pañuelito, una joya, una herramienta pequeña, un suvenir, un botón, un programa de teatro, u otro ítem pequeño. La idea era que cada invitada tendría que contar la historia detrás del objeto. La mujer no sabía que algunas invitadas tendrían sorprendentes secretos a los cuales estaba atado su recuerdo. Una vida anterior, un hijo perdido, un accidente--muchas tenían tristeza atada a sus recuerdos, pero los conservaban para mantenerse sujetas a la realidad. Tras escuchar todas las historias, la mujer decide que su vida después de todo no era tan mala, y que tenía el propósito de ser amiga de esas personas.

by Valerie HockertMientras me hallo aquí planchando por Valerie Hockert Mientras Tina plancha, se pregunta cosas y su mente se maravilla con cada pieza.

Mientras otros duermen: Una larga vigilia en el rock
by Fernando SamaleaContinuación del exitoso Qué es un long play, en este segundo volumen de memorias Fernando Samalea, el baterista del rock argentino, explora cronológicamente, con humor y emoción, historias musicales entre 1997 y 2010.

No piensa como un baterista, no tiene vicios musicales, ni de los demás. Su primer libro me divirtió mucho. ¡Tiene más memoria que yo! Le deseo mucho éxito como escritor. Es el primer escritor-baterista que conozco.»Charly García, 2016 «Más allá de que lo admiro profundamente, se me reveló como una persona que irradia un optimismo tan contagioso como vital. Siempre tiene alguna historia para contarte, internándose sin prejuicios en mundos nuevos y haciendo amigos por doquier. A pura luz y bohemia, Sama propaga el hedonismo romántico que lo ha mantenido casi inalterable a lo largo de estos años. Es un privilegio ser su compañero de ruta y su amigo.»Gustavo Cerati, 2007

Mighty Bad Land: A Perilous Expedition to Antarctica Reveals Clues to an Eighth Continent
by Bruce LuyendykA tale of grit and real teamwork in the wilds of Antarctica when the hunger for knowledge reigns supreme.Anything can happen in a pure wilderness experienced by few humans—a place where unseen menace waits everywhere. This story is an unembellished account of a scientist and his team exploring the last place on Earth. But, unlike most recent books on Antarctica, the reader becomes embedded with geologist Bruce Luyendyk&’s team. They share the challenges, companionship, failures, bravery, and success brought to light from scientific research pursued in an unforgiving place, Marie Byrd Land, or Mighty Bad Land. The geologists make surprising discoveries. Luyendyk realizes that vast submarine plateaus in the southwest Pacific are continental pieces that broke away from the Marie Byrd Land sector of Gondwana. He coined &“Zealandia&” to describe this newly recognized submerged continent. Only the tops of its mountains poke above sea level to host the nation of New Zealand. This stunning revelation of a submerged eighth continent promises economic and geopolitical consequences reverberating into the twenty-first century. The story occurs in the 1990s and fills a gap in the timeline of Antarctic exploration between the Heroic Age, the age of military exploration, and before the modern era of science. Danger is exponentially greater, isolation a constant threat without GPS, satellite phones, and the internet. As the expedition&’s leader, Luyendyk stands up to his demons that surface under the extreme duress of his experience, like nearly losing two team members.

Mighty Gorgeous: A Little Book About Messy Love

Because we are not on this earth to master suffering; we are here to create magic. Because perfection is overrated; all of our flaws and imperfections and scars are our beauty marks. Because all women deserve to speak their truth, to be heard and seen, to awaken to their own greatness. Because life is so very hard and so very brutal at times, bitter and cruel and excruciatingly difficult to navigate, and sometimes we need a light to guide us through that darkness. Because it&’s time for us all to come home to ourselves—and Amy&’s here to cheerlead you all the way to your own front door.
Mighty Justice: My Life in Civil Rights
by Dovey Johnson Roundtree Katie McCabe&“Dovey Johnson Roundtree set a new path for women and proved that the vision and perseverance of a single individual can turn the tides of history.&” —Michelle ObamaIn Mighty Justice, trailblazing African American civil rights attorney Dovey Johnson Roundtree recounts her inspiring life story that speaks movingly and urgently to our racially troubled times. From the streets of Charlotte, North Carolina, to the segregated courtrooms of the nation&’s capital; from the male stronghold of the army where she broke gender and color barriers to the pulpits of churches where women had waited for years for the right to minister—in all these places, Roundtree sought justice. At a time when African American attorneys had to leave the courthouses to use the bathroom, Roundtree took on Washington&’s white legal establishment and prevailed, winning a 1955 landmark bus desegregation case that would help to dismantle the practice of &“separate but equal&” and shatter Jim Crow laws. Later, she led the vanguard of women ordained to the ministry in the AME Church in 1961, merging her law practice with her ministry to fight for families and children being destroyed by urban violence. Dovey Roundtree passed away in 2018 at the age of 104. Though her achievements were significant and influential, she remains largely unknown to the American public. Mighty Justice corrects the historical record.

Mighty Moe: The True Story of a Thirteen-Year-Old Women's Running Revolutionary
by Rachel Swaby Kit FoxRachel Swaby and Kit Fox present Mighty Moe, the untold true story of runner Maureen Wilton, whose world record-breaking marathon time at age 13 was met first with misogyny and controversy, but ultimately with triumph.In 1967, a girl known as Mighty Moe broke the women’s world marathon record at a small race in Toronto. This was an era when girls and women were discouraged from the sport and the longest track event at the Olympics for women was 25.6 miles shorter than a marathon. Thirteen-year-old Moe’s world-beating victory was greeted with chauvinistic disapproval and accusations of cheating—as were many of her achievements in the sport she had excelled at from the age of ten. Within less than two years, the controversy took its toll and Maureen quit running. Here is the untold story of Mighty Moe’s tenacity and triumph in the face of adversity as a young athlete—and of a grown-up Maureen finding her way back to the sport decades later. This inspiring biography for readers and racers of all ages showcases the truly groundbreaking achievements of an unassuming, amazing young athlete. Mighty Moe includes an introduction by Kathrine Switzer, the first woman to officially register and run in the Boston Marathon (and Maureen’s only fellow female competitor at the 1967 record-setting race), and an afterword by Des Linden, the first-place finisher of the 11,628 women who raced the 2018 Boston Marathon.
Migrant Daughter: Coming of Age as A Mexican American Woman
by Mario T. García Frances Esquibel TywoniakBoth introduction and narrative illustrate the process by which Tywoniak negotiated her relation to ethnic identity and cultural allegiances, the ways in which she came to find education as a channel for breaking with fieldwork patterns of life, and the effect of migration on family and culture. This deeply personal memoir portrays a courageous Mexican American woman moving between many cultural worlds, a life story that at times parallels, and at times diverges from, the real life experiences of thousands of other, unnamed women.
Migrations of the Heart: An Autobiography
by Marita GoldenIn her classic memoir, distinguished author, television executive, and activist Marita Golden beautifully recounts an astounding journey to Africa and back. Marita Golden was raised in Washington, D. C. , by a mother who was a cleaning woman and a father who was taxi-driver. For all their struggles, with life and each other, her parents instilled her with spirit and aspirations. Swept up in the heady Black Power movement of the sixties, Marita moved to New York to study journalism at Columbia--and fell in love with Femi Ajayi, a Nigerian architecture student. . Their passion led them to start a life together in Africa--a place Marita was eager to understand. Exhilarated by a world free of white racism, Marita quickly found work as a professor and embraced motherhood. But Femi's increasing expectations that she snap into the role of the submissive Nigerian wife were shocking and dispiriting. Her struggle to regain her footing and shape a black identity that was true to her spirit is suspenseful and inspiring, an uncommon tale of race, identity, and Africa.
Migré: El maestro de las telenovelas que revolucionó la educación sentimental de un país
by Liliana ViolaBiografía del creador de telenovelas célebres como Rolando Rivas, taxista, Piel naranja, Pobre diabla y Una voz en el teléfono, que moldearon la historia sentimental de generaciones de argentinos. Lo llamaron "el señor éxito", "el padre de la lágrima" y "el autor del amor". Escribió más de 700 títulos sin más colaboradores que su máquina Remington. Sus telenovelas fueron una verdadera factoría de galanes, parejas románticas y canciones inolvidables. Durante cuatro décadas tuvo en sus manos las emociones domésticas de las tardes y las noches. Con Rolando Rivas taxista, la ficción más recordada de la televisión argentina, conquistó al público masculino y marcó un nuevo estándar en el modo de producir y mirar tv. Se atrevió a plantear un final infeliz en Piel Naranja en vísperas de la dictadura de 1976 e impuso una palabra guaraní -"rojaiju"- en el lenguaje amoroso de los años 70'. Ultimo representante de la telenovela de autor, Alberto Migré sentó las bases de una industria de los sentimientos que se volvió global. En este libro apasionante Liliana Viola construye una biografía a la medida de su personaje donde cada secreto revelado abre las puertas de un secreto mayor. Actores y actrices, directores, admiradores y amigos íntimos aportan testimonios desopilantes y conmovedores para el retrato del hombre que patentó un modo de amar alternativo a la vida real y supo denunciar como ninguno la influencia nefasta del machismo en las relaciones humanas y el factor melodrama en los rencores que signan la política argentina.

Miguel Enríquez: Un nombre en las estrellas. Biografía de un revolucionario
by Mario AmorósEsta es la biografía del revolucionario que simboliza la Resistencia heroica frente a la dictadura en el momento más duro, cuando la DINA operaba con absoluta impunidad y crueldad, cuando el terror paralizaba a la sociedad chilena. Miguel Enríquez (Talcahuano, 1944), hijo de una ilustre familia de Concepción, médico, fue el líder del Movimiento de Izquierda Revolucionaria desde 1967 hasta su asesinato en aquel combate desigual de la calle Santa Fe el 5 de octubre de 1974. Con su liderazgo, y acompañado por una nueva generación de dirigentes y militantes, el MIR marcó una ruptura en la política nacional. Apoyó críticamente al Gobierno de Salvador Allende, movilizó a "los pobres del campo y la ciudad" por el poder popular, denunció la conspiración de la derecha y, después del golpe de Estado, fue golpeado terriblemente por la represión. A partir de abundante documentación inédita y de los testimonios de sus familiares y compañeros, Mario Amorós relata de manera acuciosa la apasionante trayectoria de Miguel Enríquez. Solo vivió 30 años, pero su nombre quedó grabado en la Historia y en la Memoria popular de Chile y de América Latina.
Miguel de Unamuno (Colección Españoles Eminentes #Volumen)
by Jon JuaristiLa última biografía de Unamuno, una nueva mirada a su vida y obra. Elegida mejor biografía de 2012 por los lectores de El País. El escritor vasco Miguel de Unamuno y Jugo fue el primer intelectual verdaderamente moderno del país. Su vida, su obra y su muerte, en plena guerra civil, ilustran las contradicciones del decisivo periodo histórico que le tocó transitar. Ningún otro miembro de la generación española del fin del siglo XIX -la llamada «generación del 98»- buscó con tanto ahínco como don Miguel transformar su vida en metáfora del destino nacional. Ésta se convirtió en el resultado de un compromiso entre las circunstancias inevitables y aleatorias de la España de su época y el empeño personal de construirse, a la manera quijotesca, desde una voluntad autónoma y opuesta a todo conformismo. En esta biografía, Jon Juaristi analiza con rigurosa minuciosidad (no exenta de distancia irónica y paradójica simpatía) las influencias que Unamuno asimiló en un pensamiento tan asistemático como profundamente original, así como la que el propio escritor ejerció en los españoles de su tiempo, siguiendo el hilo de una existencia agónica, en permanente lucha con su entorno histórico y en un inacabable debate interior entre la razón desencantada y el ansia de eternidad. Reseñas:«Juaristi, con una de las mejores prosas que se escriben hoy en España, repasa todos los aspectos de Unamuno, los amables y los odiosos... Una biografía soberbia.»Félix de Azúa, El País «Las biografías convierten en libros a los hombres. Miguel de Unamuno, de Juaristi es un buen ejemplo.»Álvaro Cortina, El Mundo «Excelente libro... Una biografía crítica, bien documentada y mejor escrita... Términos como cainismo, intrahistoria, "nivola" o casticismo adquieren aquí el renovado sentido de un análisis inteligente y pormenorizado, ameno y riguroso.»Jesús Ferrer, La Razón
Miguel de Unamuno: Biografía
by Jean-Claude Rabaté Colette RabatéLa primera biografía de Unamuno en más de cuarenta años, basada en documentos inéditos. Esta biografía de Unamuno redefine la personalidad de un intelectual comprometido cuyas vivencias y acciones estuvieron estrechamente vinculadas a la vida política y cultural de España durante más de cinco décadas.
