    Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. The author of My Name Is Mar a Isabel offers an inspiring look at her childhood in Cuba in this collection that includes Where the Flame Trees Bloom, Under the Royal Palms, five new stories, and more. These true autobiographical tales from renowned Hispanic author and educator Alma Flor Ada are filled with family love and traditions, secrets and deep friendships, and a gorgeous, moving picture of the island of Cuba, where Alma Flor grew up. Told through the eyes of a child, a whole world comes to life in these pages: the blind great-grandmother who never went to school but whose wisdom and generosity overflowed to those around her; the hired hand Samon , whose love for music overcame all difficulties; the beloved dance teacher who helped sustain young Alma Flor through a miserable year in school; her dear and daring Uncle Medardo, who bravely flew airplanes; and more. Heartwarming, poignant, and often humorous, this wonderful collection encourages readers to discover the stories in their own lives--and to celebrate the joys and struggles we all share, no matter where or when we grew up. Featuring the classic and award-winning books Where the Flame Trees Bloom and Under the Royal Palms, Island Treasures also includes a new collection, Days at La Quinta Simoni, many new family photographs, and a Spanish-to-English glossary. Martorell, Antonio; Rodriguez, Edel (illustrator).…

    Paperback. Zustand: Good. XI Premio Alfaguara de Novela Espiridiona Cenda, una joven cubana de solo veintiseis pulgadas de estatura, llega a la Nueva York de fines del siglo XIX con el deseo de triunfar como bailarina y cantante. Esta biografia imaginaria de un personaje real recrea con libertad y una fabulacion ilimitada las aventuras y desventuras de Chiquita, una mujer seductora e independiente que llego a convertirse en una de las celebridades mejor pagadas de los teatros de vaudeville y las ferias de su tiempo. Elegante, humoristica y llena de peripecias, la novela es un ambicioso fresco de una epoca prodiga en transformaciones sociales y milagros tecnologicos, en que las potencias se disputaban territorios, las cofradias secretas no habian perdido la esperanza de convertir el mundo en una gran Arcadia y las curiosidades humanas ejercian una extrana atraccion sobre las multitudes. Protagonista de amores tempestuosos, duena de un talisman magico y testigo de intrigas diplomaticas, la liliputiense Chiquita vuelve a la vida en estas paginas, con todo su genio, su crueldad y su encanto, convertida en un personaje literario inolvidable. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Twenty-six-inch tall Espiridiona Cenda disembarks in late 19th Century New York with one goal in mind--becoming the city's most successful singer and dancer with her stage name, Chiquita: The Living Doll.This imaginary biography of the real-life woman recreates the adventures and misfortunes of Chiquita, an alluring and independent woman that lived to become one of the highest paid celebrities in the Vaudeville theatres and fairs of her day.The star of fiery romances, owner of a magic talisman, and witness to countless political intrigues, Chiquita comes to life in these pages as an unforgettable literary character--in all her glory, genius, cruelty and charm.Elegant, humorous, and brimming with adventures, the novel is an ambitious fresco of a period that abounded in social transformations and technological miracles, where the mightiest of countries fought for territories, where underground brotherhoods diligently worked to turn the world in to a great Arcadia, and where human curiosities exerted a strange fascination among the crowds.…
