Te abraza con todo fervor revolucionario : epistolario de un tiempo 1947-1967 / by Guevara, Che,1928-1967,author.(CARDINAL)138840; Ariet, María del Carmen,editor.(CARDINAL)877773; Arcia Munoz, Disamis,editor.(CARDINAL)878297; Centro de Estudios Che Guevara.(CARDINAL)541099;
"Ernesto Che Guevara was a voyager-and thus a letter writer-for his entire adult life. The letters collected in I Embrace You with All My Revolutionary Fervor: Letters 1947-1967 range from letters home during his Motorcycle Diaries trip, to the long letter to Fidel after the success of the Cuban revolution in early 1959 (from which the book's title comes), from the most personal to the intensely political, revealing someone who not only thought deeply about everything he encountered, but for whom the process of social transformation was a constant companion from his youth until shortly before his death. His letters give us Che the son, the friend, the lover, the guerrilla fighter, the political leader, the philosopher, the poet. Che in these letters is often playful, funny, sometimes sarcastic, and deeply affectionate. His life was short, and these twenty years, from when he was 19 until days before his death, show it was also incredibly rich and full. As his daughter Aleida Guevara, also a doctor like her father, writes, "When you write a speech, you pay attention to the language, the punctuation and so on. But in a letter to a friend or a member of your family, you don't worry about those things. It is you speaking, in your authentic voice. That's what I like about these letters; they show who Che really was and how he thought. This is the true political testimony of my father.""--Provided by publisher.

Torn from the world : a guerrilla's escape from a secret prison in Mexico / by Gibler, John,author.(CARDINAL)353679;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 251-260)."Andrés Tzompaxtle Tecpile was torn from the world. Abducted off the street, blindfolded and beaten, he was brought to a Mexican military facility and "disappeared." Tzompaxtle, a young indigenous man and member of an insurgent guerrilla movement, was subjected to months of interrogation and torture as the military tried to extract information from him. In an effort to buy time to protect his family and comrades, and to keep himself alive, he lead his captors on fruitless journeys to abandoned safe-houses and false rendezvous locations for four months. Finally, faced with imminent execution, he decided to make what he thought was a suicidal attempt at escape; when he miraculously survived, he was able to return underground. Gleaned from years of clandestine interviews, Tzompaxtle's story offers a rare glimpse into chronic injustice, underground resistance movements, and the practice of forced disappearance and torture in contemporary Mexico" --

Tras la muerte de su querida abuela, una escritora estadounidense viaja a La Habana, donde descubre las raíces de su identidad y desentierra un secreto familiar oculto desde la Revolución. La Habana, 1958. Elisa Pérez, hija de un barón del azúcar, pertenece a la alta sociedad cubana y vive protegida de la creciente inestabilidad del país, hasta que se embarca en un romance clandestino con un apasionado revolucionario. Después del triunfo de la Revolución encabezada por el Che Guevara y Fidel Castro, su familia debe abandonar el país e instalarse en Miami.Miami, 2017. La joven escritora Marisol Ferrera creció escuchando las historias nostálgicas sobre Cuba que le contaba su difunta abuela Elisa, por lo que conoce a la perfección las canciones, los platos típicos y los lugares más bonitos sin haber estado nunca. Tras la muerte de Elisa, cuyo último deseo era que Marisol esparciera sus cenizas en el lugar que la vio nacer, viaja a La Habana, donde se da cuenta de que la ciudad que recordaba su abuela ya no existe."After the death of her beloved grandmother, a Cuban-American woman travels to Havana, where she discovers the roots of her identity--and unearths a family secret hidden since the revolution ...

Los comienzos / by Moresco, Antonio,1947-author.(CARDINAL)531734; Ros González, MIguel,translator.;
"A modern classic that inaugurates one of the most brilliant and unclassifiable cycles of European literature in recent decades: the Giochi dell'eternità trilogy. The Beginnings is the big bang of Antonio Moresco's narrative universe, a modern classic that established him as one of the great contemporary writers in the Italian language and that has earned him deserved comparisons with authors of the stature of Joyce, Proust and Cartarescu. In a dizzying succession of glimpsed places and events, in a metamorphosis that never ends, the protagonist lives at the same time one and three lives: he is, although never completely, a seminarian, a revolutionary and a writer. In this hypnotic masterpiece, poetry, comedy and tragedy intermingle in a maelstrom that assimilates the absurdity of existence to vindicate its beauty. A literary event: an intellectual journey to hell where the protagonist faces the times in which he lives without a compass or map"--"Los comienzos es el big bang del universo narrativo de Antonio Moresco, un clásico moderno que inaugura uno de los ciclos más brillantes e inclasificables de la literatura europea actual: la trilogía Giochi dell'eternità. Esta obra consolidó a Moresco como uno de los grandes escritores contemporáneos en lengua italiana. Su ambición conceptual y su extraordinario dominio de la lengua le han valido merecidas comparaciones con Joyce, Proust y Cartarescu. El protagonista sin nombre de Los comienzos es seminarista, revolucionario y escritor; vive con los ojos eternamente entrecerrados; sabe ver lo que no está pero sí existe. En una vertiginosa sucesión de lugares y acontecimientos vislumbrados, en una metamorfosis que nunca acaba, vive al mismo tiempo una y tres vidas, narradas con una riqueza de imágenes inagotable y una prosa deslumbrante e hipnótica. Personajes, lugares y motivos aparecen, desaparecen y reaparecen cuando creíamos haberlos olvidado, las estaciones pasan entre líneas, y narrador y lector asisten, indefensos y embelesados, a todo lo que se cruza en su camino. La poesía, la comedia y la tragedia se entremezclan en una vorágine incontenible que asimila el absurdo de la existencia para reivindicar su hermosura." --
