Fiction. Latino/Latina Studies. Jewish Studies. Translated from the Spanish by lizabeth Horan. "In this compelling collection of 44 stories, first published in Chile in 1991, Agosin (Spanish, Wellesley Coll.) explores such themes as relationships and class conflicts among Latin American women, being Jewish within a predominantly Catholic culture, political oppression, and childhood. The stories, often as short as a page and a half, are powerful and intuitive"--Library Journal.

From an internationally acclaimed author, this is a magical, fascinating book exploring the intimate relationship between food and sex.

A comprehensive selection of work from this renowned writer and human rights activist.

This collection reflects the author's deeply rooted passion for nature, for life, and for being. Agosin spent her summers at the Chilean seaside, near Neruda's home at Isla Negra. "The sea, the rocks, marine images became important elements in my creative work," she said recently. Here she creates a world where everything touches the sea and is, in turn, touched by it, a world peopled by those who "carry the scents of the river and the sign of water." "Agosin's voice [is] ripe with sensuality."--"Booklist"

The life story of Isabel Allende - one of the world's favourite writers - is as exotic, passionate and inspiring as one of her novels.

In December 1991, Allende's daughter Paula, aged 26, fell gravely ill and sank into a coma. This book started as a letter to Paula written during the hours spent at her bedside, and became a personal memoir and a testament to the ties that bind families - a brave, enlightening, inspiring true story.

A magnificent sweeping tale from the international bestselling author of 'The House of the Spirits'.

An ecological romance with a pulsing heart, equal parts Rider Haggard and Chico Buarque - one of the world's greatest and most beloved storytellers broadens her style and reach with a Amazonian adventure story that will appeal to all ages.
