Описание: "Ten piedad de m , Se or, cubano soy." En 1962, Carlos Eire fue uno de los 14.841 ni os que fueron transportados fuera de Cuba en el puente a?reo conocido como la Operaci n Pedro Pan--exiliado de su familia, de su patria y de su propia ni ez por la Revoluci n. Los recuerdos de su vida en La Habana cobran vida en estas memorias evocativas e inolvidables.

Nieve en La Habana es a su vez un exorcismo y una oda a un mundo perdido. La Cuba de la ni ez de Carlos, con sus lagartijas y su mar azul turquesa ba ado por un sol esplendoroso, se convierte en una isla maldita con la llegada al poder de un guerrillero llamado Fidel Castro. De pronto la m sica callejera se transforma en tiroteos, las pascuas navide as quedan prohibidas, la disidencia conlleva encarcelamiento y casi todos los amigos de Carlos deben irse de Cuba rumbo a un lugar tan lejano e inconcebible como los Estados Unidos. Carlos tambi n terminar en ese mismo exilio, y cumplir el deseo de su madre de convertirse en un hombre americano moderno --aun si su alma permanece en el pa s que lo vio nacer.

Narrado con la urgencia de una confesi n, Nieve en La Habana es un elogio a una patria arruinada y un amoroso testimonio del esp ritu colectivo de todos los cubanos, dondequiera que est n.

Описание: A lively, expansive history of the Protestant and Catholic Reformations and the momentous changes they set in motion

This fast-paced survey of Western civilization's transition from the Middle Ages to modernity brings that tumultuous period vividly to life. Carlos Eire, popular professor and gifted writer, chronicles the two-hundred-year era of the Renaissance and Reformation with particular attention to issues that persist as concerns in the present day. Eire connects the Protestant and Catholic Reformations in new and profound ways, and he demonstrates convincingly that this crucial turning point in history not only affected people long gone, but continues to shape our world and define who we are today.

The book focuses on the vast changes that took place in Western civilization between 1450 and 1650, from Gutenberg's printing press and the subsequent revolution in the spread of ideas to the close of the Thirty Years' War. Eire devotes equal attention to the various Protestant traditions and churches as well as to Catholicism, skepticism, and secularism, and he takes into account the expansion of European culture and religion into other lands, particularly the Americas and Asia. He also underscores how changes in religion transformed the Western secular world. A book created with students and nonspecialists in mind, Reformations is an inspiring, provocative volume for any reader who is curious about the role of ideas and beliefs in history.

The Keepers of ire is a modern-day fantasy. For centuries dragons have protected Ireland, their existence kept secret with the help of earth magic and their human riders. Now that secret is threatened as the bodies of four riders are found at sacred Irish sites. Christian Riley, a man with secrets of his own, is haunted by vivid dreams of each slaying. An American searching for her Irish heritage and the meaning of an inherited dragon ring, Devan Fraser, stumbles into the mystery of the murders. Christian's only memento from the mother who gave him up for adoption is a dragon pendant that matches Devan's ring. Together they discover their destinies, the truth of dragons, and the depth of honor and loyalty to which people will go to protect the ones they love.
