The House on the Lagoon
Summary
Finalist for the National Book Award: A breathtaking saga from Puerto Rico’s greatest literary voice This riveting, multigenerational epic tells the story of two families and the history of Puerto Rico through the eyes of Isabel Monfort and her husband, Quintn Mendizabal. Isabel attempts to immortalize their now-united families - and, by extension, their homeland - in a book. The tale that unfolds in her writing has layers upon layers, exploring the nature of love, marriage, family, and Puerto Rico itself. Weaving the intimate with the expansive on a teeming stage, Ferré crafts a revealing self-portrait of a man and a woman, two fiercely independent people searching for meaning and identity. As Isabel declares: "Nothing is true, nothing is false, everything is the color of the glass you’re looking through." A book about freeing oneself from societal and cultural constraints, The House on the Lagoon also grapples with bigger issues of life, death, poverty, and racism. Mythological in its breadth and scope, this is a masterwork from an extraordinary storyteller.

Summary
Sabiduría intemporal..., un estilo divertido..., explicaciones fácile de entender sobre el éxito. En esta obra ya clásica, Florence Scovel Shinn se perfiló como una escritora excepcional, cuyas prácticas y reveladoras sugerencias atrajeron en su época a lectores y mujeres emprendedorasde todos los ámbitos. Más aún, años después sus libros continúan sobresaliendo como algunas de las más prominentes fuentes sobre la prosperidad.Es éste, quizá, uno de sus libros más celebrados, en el que describe cómo abordar el juego de la vida a través de actitudes y afirmaciones positivas, ofreciendo a las mujeres la oportunidad de cultivar el éxito, la prosperidad y el acercamiento a la eterna sabiduría. Para ella la vida no es una batalla; es un juego en el que todo tiene sentido, aunque no puede ser llevado a cabo con éxito sin el conocimiento de la ley espiritual. Con su obra nos plantea no sólo las reglas de este juego, sino (lo que es más importante) la forma de jugarlo para ganar. Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish.

The Latino Generation: Voices of the New America
Summary
Latinos are already the largest minority group in the United States, and experts estimate that by 2050, one out of three Americans will identify as Latino. Though their population and influence are steadily rising, stereotypes and misconceptions about Latinos remain, from the assumption that they refuse to learn English to questions of just how "American" they actually are. By presenting thirteen riveting oral histories of young, first-generation college students, Mario T. Garcia counters those long-held stereotypes and expands our understanding of what he terms "the Latino Generation." By allowing these young people to share their stories and struggles, Garcia reveals that these students and children of immigrants will be critical players in the next chapter of our nation's history. Collected over several years, the testimonies follow the history of the speakers in thought-provoking ways, reminding us that members of the Latino Generation are not merely a demographic group but rather real individuals, as American in their aspirations and loyalty as the members of any other ethnic group in the country.The complete list of narrators includes: Mariana Carreno, Tony Chiroldes, Monica Steuer, Adriana Sananes, Walter Krochmal, Rosie Berrido, Silvia Sierra, Luis Moreno, Martin Untrojb, Maria Cabezas, Lisa Ortiz, and Blanca Vasquez.
