Tierra fresca de su tumba / by Rivero, Giovanna,1972-author.(CARDINAL)883192;
La mansedumbre -- Pez, tortuga, buitre -- Cuanda llueve parece humano -- Socorro -- Piel de asno -- Hermano ciervo."In the tales of Fresh Earth from Her Grave there are fishermen who cross the seas of death, girls abandoned in the steppes who find in the gospel a bridge to beauty, women whose madness is nothing more than a shattered heart, old Japanese women who dig in a garden to find the best and worst of themselves, boys from a Canadian tribe who dress in animal skins so they can roar again. Characters, in short, who tear the thin membrane of ordinary life, try to touch, with the outstretched hands of childhood, the sensual dimension of the beyond and dangerously look into an inner abyss that will eventually devour them. Six stories of luminous darkness that pierce us like a wound, and that in the end make us understand the possibilities of love, justice and hope, but also, as in Edgar Allan Poe's "A descent into the Maelström", the height and depth of the abyss. "- Page 4 of cover, Google Translate."En los cuentos de Tierra fresca de su tumba aparecen pescadores que atraviesan los mares de la muerte, niñas abandonadas en las estepas que encuentran en el góspel un puente hacia la belleza, mujeres cuya demencia no es otra cosa que un corazón despedazado, ancianas japonesas que cavan en un jardín para encontrar lo mejor y lo peor de sí mismas, muchachos de una tribu del Canadá que se visten con pieles de animales para poder rugir de nuevo. Personajes, en definitiva, que rasgan la delgada membrana de la vida ordinaria, intentan tocar, con las manos extendidas de la infancia, la dimensión sensual del más allá y se asoman peligrosamente a un abismo interior que acabará por devorarlos. Seis historias de oscuridad luminosa que nos atraviesan como una herida, y que al final nos hacen comprender las posibilidades del amor, la justicia y la esperanza, pero también, como en "Un descenso al Maelström" de Edgar Allan Poe, la altura y la profundidad del abismo."--Page 4 of cover.

The Bolivian diary / by Guevara, Che,1928-1967,author.(CARDINAL)138840; Castro, Fidel,1926-2016,writer of introduction.(CARDINAL)151705; Guevara March, Camilo,1962-writer of foreword.(CARDINAL)859974; Centro de Estudios Che Guevara.(CARDINAL)541099;
Foreword / Camilo Guevara -- A Necessary Introduction / Fidel Castro -- The Bolivian Diary."This new edition of Che Guevara's diary of the last year of his life describes Che's efforts to launch a guerrilla insurrection against the military government of Bolivia. It was found in his backpack when he was captured by the Bolivian Army in October 1967.This edition includes Fidel Castro's "A Necessary Introduction," exposing the lies of an earlier, pre-emptive edition prepared by the C.I.A. to discredit Che and the Bolivian expedition, as well as the Cuban Revolution itself. The Bolivian Diary reveals an older, more time-tested, and health-compromised Che than either the exuberant The Motorcycle Diaries or the mature and implacable Congo Diary. There is rich irony here as he recounts the daily challenges faced by his small guerrilla band, the pronouncements of the military government, and the actions of the large military force attacking them. The last entry describes the day before Che's capture, two days before his murder"--

A haunting in Hialeah Gardens : a novel / by Palma, Raul,author.(CARDINAL)878351;
"Since his wife died, Hugo Contreras's debt from her medical bills has become insurmountable. His world in Miami has shrunk. He shuffles between his efficiency apartment, La Carreta (his favorite place for a cafecito), and a botanica in a strip mall where he works as the resident babaláwo. One day, Hugo's nemesis calls. Alexi Ramirez is a debt collector who has been hounding Hugo for years, and Hugo assumes this call is just more of the same. Except this time Alexi is calling because he needs spiritual help. His house is haunted. Alexi proposes a deal: If Hugo can successfully cleanse his home before Noche Buena, Alexi will forgive Hugo's debt. Hugo reluctantly accepts, but there's one issue: Despite being a babaláwo, he doesn't believe in spirits. Hugo plans to do what he's done with dozens of clients before: use sleight of hand and amateur psychology to convince Alexi the spirits have departed. But when the job turns out to be more than Hugo bargained for, Hugo's old tricks don't work. Memories of his past--his childhood in the Bolivian silver mines and a fraught crossing into the United States as a boy--collide with Alexi's demons in an explosive climax."--
