- Cochabamba / by Hernández, Jorge F.,author.(CARDINAL)683110;
"El agua de azar puede también danzar como humo de insomnio o conversación de sobremesa sin tiempo. Así nace la amistad a primera vista entre el diplomático francés Xavier Dupont y el escritor al que le pide escribir la novela de la vida de su madre, Catalina. Nacida en Cochabamba, hija de un potentado boliviano, oligarca adinerado y símbolo de la tiranía patriarcal, Catalina se sabe la mujer más bella del mundo y más aún cuando por orden del padre es transterrada a París donde levitará nubes de oropel, grandes lujos y codearse con Coco Chanel, Edith Piaf... y Albert Camus. Catalina como Princesa de Cochabamba se vuelve la plus belle femme entre el tout París y protagonista de una novela que parecería cuento de hadas, si no fuera enteramente verídica. Una novela de vodevil y rumbosa, la vida pícara y noctámbula que nació en sobremesas para contar y contagiar hasta quedar en tinta con un ritmo que conquista al lector como una íntima celebración." --"The water of chance can also dance like the smoke of insomnia or a timeless after-dinner conversation. Thus is born the friendship at first sight between French diplomat Xavier Dupont and the writer he asks to write a novel about the life of his mother, Catalina. Born in Cochabamba, the daughter of a Bolivian potentate, a wealthy oligarch, and a symbol of patriarchal tyranny, Catalina knows she is the most beautiful woman in the world, and even more so when, by order of her father, she is exiled to Paris, where she will float under clouds of tinsel, enjoy great luxuries, and rub shoulders with Coco Chanel, Edith Piaf, and Albert Camus. Catalina, as Princess of Cochabamba, becomes the plus belle femme amidst all of Paris and the protagonist of a novel that would seem like a fairy tale if it weren't entirely true. A vaudeville and lavish novel, the roguish and nocturnal life that was born during after-dinner conversations is told and passed on until it is captured in ink, with a rhythm that captivates the reader like an intimate celebration.- Subjects: Spanish language materials.; Materiales en español.; Novels.; Historical fiction.; Bolivians; Celebrities; Diplomats; Feminine beauty (Aesthetics); Mothers; Authors; Bolivianos;

"Bolivian-Argentinian Inez Olivera belongs to the glittering upper society of nineteenth century Buenos Aires, and like the rest of the world, the town is steeped in old world magic that's been largely left behind or forgotten. Inez has everything a girl might want, except for the one thing she yearns the most: her globetrotting parents--who frequently leave her behind. When she receives word of their tragic deaths, Inez inherits their massive fortune and a mysterious guardian, an archeologist in partnership with his Egyptian brother-in-law. Yearning for answers, Inez sails to Cairo, bringing her sketch pads and a golden ring her father sent to her for safekeeping before he died. But upon her arrival, the old world magic tethered to the ring pulls her down a path where she soon discovers there's more to her parent's disappearance than what her guardian led her to believe. With her guardian's infuriatingly handsome assistant thwarting her at every turn, Inez must rely on ancient magic to uncover the truth about her parent's disappearance--or risk becoming a pawn in a larger game that will kill her"--"Inez Olivera, una joven de origen argentino-boliviano, forma parte de las elegante sociedad del Buenos Aires del siglo XIX. Al igual que el resto del mundo, la diudad est©Ł impregnada de la magia del mundo antiguo, aunque, con el tiempo, esta haya ido quedando olvidada. Inez tiene todo cuanto una chica podr©Ưa desear salvo lo que m©Łs anhela: a sus aventureros padres, que siempre terminan dej©Łndola atr©Łs. Cuando recibe la noticia de su tr©Łgica muerte, Inez hereda una enorme fortuna y pasa a tener un misterioso tutor: un arque©đlogo que trabaja con su cu©łado egipcio. Decidida a encontrar respuestas, la joven viaja hasta El Cairo llevando consigo sus cuadernos de dibujo y un anillo del oro que su padre le envi©đ antes de morir. Pero, a su llegada, la magia vinculada al anillo la arrastra por un camino en el que descubre que la desaparici©đn de sus padres no fue como su tutor le hizo creer."--Ages 12-18.- Subjects: Historical fiction.; Fantasy fiction.; Romance fiction.; Interpersonal relations; Magic; Archaeology; Disappeared persons; Archaeology; Young adult fiction.;
