«Castellanos Moya es una figura estelar en el todavía en marcha segundo boom de la literatura latinoamericana». Norman Rush, The New York Review of Books

Los sentimientos de odio y rencor de doña Lena, esposa de don Erasmo Mira Brossa, abogado y presidente del Partido Nacional hondureño, y madre de una única hija, Teti, son tan poderosos como el fuego: si se alimenta acaba consumiéndolo todo hasta el desmoronamiento. Pero el fuerte temperamento de doña Lena no podrá impedir que Teti se case con Clemente, un salvadoreño divorciado, veinte años mayor que ella y con el estigma de comunista. Los lazos rotos de la familia Mira Brossa ya son irreparables, y Teti, Clemente y el hijo de ambos, Eri, se ven forzados a irse de Honduras para instalarse en El Salvador.

Corre el año 1969 y la guerra entre Honduras y El Salvador amenaza con dinamitar los frágiles cimientos de la relación de doña Lena con su hija, quien, a pesar de las amenazas de su contrariada y atormentada madre, se niega a regresar a su país, ni siquiera tras la trágica y misteriosa muerte de su marido.

El carácter volcánico de la matriarca es el denominador común de la historia de esta familia hondureña, narrada con el habitual despliegue de estilo marca del autor, y en un tono afilado, ácido, que sumerge al lector en la corriente de sentimientos encontrados en la que se debaten los protagonistas de esta novela.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"Castellanos Moya is a star figure in the progressing second boom in Latin American literature." --Norman Rush, The New York Review of Books

The hate and grudge of Doña Lena, mother of Teti, an only child, and wife of Don Erasmo Mira Brossa, lawyer and head of the Honduran National Party, are as powerful as fire itself: if fed, it ends up consuming everything until it comes crumbling down. But Doña Lena's hot temper will not keep Teti from marrying Clemente, a divorced Salvadorian, twenty years her senior, and with the stigma of communism. The broken bonds of the Mira Brossa family are irreparable, and Teti, Clemente, and their son, Eri, will be forced to leave Honduras to settle in El Salvador.

It is the year 1969, and the war between Honduras and El Salvador threatens to shatter the fragile foundations of Doña Lena's relationship with her daughter, whom, despite the threats of her disgruntled and tormented mother, refuses to return to her native country, not even after the tragic, mysterious death of her husband.

The volcanic nature of the matriarch is the common denominator in the story of this Honduran family, narrated with the author's trademark style and a sharp, acrid tone that plunges the reader into a flow of mixed feelings where the protagonists struggle.

All around helpful---worth the money!
Format: Paperback
This guide has been most helpful for all the folks I help prepare for the iTEP test! It gives insight into what each section of the test is looking for along with examples and great tips about actually TAKING the test. In the Writing and Speaking sections, it also gives sample scores and comments from the Master Grader which is very helpful too.

Comprehensive, clear and coherent!
Format: Paperback
The iTEP Practice Guide combines a no-nonsense approach to the specific iTEP tests and at the same time offers exercises that task the student with what they need to know. Exercises not only serve the purpose of scoring well, but the overall approach is communicative competence. We use the text in our group and one-to-one classes with very positive--and lasting--results.

No recomiendo
Format: Paperback
Muy malo, no vine completo, además se demoró mucho más de lo que decía al momento de comprarlo. Solo aplazaban la fecha de entrega sin consultar cómo afectaba al cliente. Yo tuve que presentar el examen sin el libro, porque no llegó en la fecha que decía al comprarlo y después se cambió 3 veces la fecha, casi cumpliendo el mes.

A Textbook for My Students
Format: Kindle
I'm an adjunct instructor for several institutions where I teach adults how to design and develop software using various IDEs and languages. As a former military officer, I've come to appreciate the idea of ensuring my troops have all the training and gear they'll need to get the job done. Patrick exemplifies that spirit in his series, "From Zero to Proficiency." After reading his first two books in the series, I've decided that I'll use them in the Fall term to teach my students game development with Unity. The lessons are easy to follow, yet provide powerful impact upon game development. I've never come across any other author who continues to provide weekly support to his readers and Patrick Felicia does. He even solicits us to learn what we'd like for him to teach next. If you want to learn Unity from someone who actually knows how to teach it, I recommend his books. I read a lot of technical books, so I seriously appreciate it when an author can clearly convey knowledge in an easy-going manner that is technically correct. I'm very happy with these books and am sure my students will be too.

Step by Step
Format: Kindle
This series of books has step by step instructions that are easy to follow. There are lots of pictures to verify you are doing things correctly. I have done three books in this series so far (Foundations, Beginner, and Platform). Before starting the books, I had some coding background, but no experience with Unity. Each book covers a manageable amount of information. There is so much to learn, but the author does well to stick to key points to not make the reader feel overwhelmed.
