Tambi n de este lado hay sue os. On this side too, there are dreams.
Already being hailed as "a Grapes of Wrath for our times" and "a new American classic", American Dirt is a rare exploration into the inner hearts of people willing to sacrifice everything for a glimmer of hope.
If it's only a better life you seek, seek it elsewhere...This path is only for people who have no choice, no other option, only violence and misery behind you. And your journey will grow even more treacherous from here. Everything is working against you. --American Dirt
Lydia Quixano Perez lives in the Mexican city of Acapulco. She runs a bookstore. She has a son, Luca, the love of her life, and a wonderful husband who is a journalist. And while there are cracks beginning to show in Acapulco because of the drug cartels, her life is, by and large, fairly comfortable.
Even though she knows they'll never sell, Lydia stocks some of her all-time favorite books in her store. And then one day a man enters the shop to browse and comes up to the register with four books he would like to buy--two of them her favorites. Javier is erudite. He is charming. And, unbeknownst to Lydia, he is the jefe of the newest drug cartel that has gruesomely taken over the city. When Lydia's husband's tell-all profile of Javier is published, none of their lives will ever be the same.
Forced to flee, Lydia and eight-year-old Luca soon find themselves miles and worlds away from their comfortable middle-class existence. Instantly transformed into migrants, Lydia and Luca ride la bestia--trains that make their way north toward the United States, which is the only place Javier's reach doesn't extend. As they join the countless people trying to reach el norte, Lydia soon sees that everyone is running from something. But what exactly are they running to?
American Dirt will leave readers utterly changed. It is a literary achievement filled with poignancy, drama, and humanity on every page. It is one of the most important books for our times.

Описание: This stunning English translation of a medieval Japanese text is at once an illustrated martial arts manual and a historical account of the teachings of a samurai grandmaster Available for the first time in English, this book explores the essential practices of the samurai school known as Mubyoshi Ryu. Complete with more than 350 images, The Lost Samurai School collects and translates ancient documents that contain the teachings of grandmaster Hagiwara Juzo--revealing for the first time to western readers the enthralling martial arts, secret weapons, magic, and espionage as they were practiced by samurai in their daily lives. The ancient Mubyoshi Ryu scrolls contain fascinating descriptions of "civilian" samurai skills--which concentrate more on personal protection than battlefield warfare--including the full ninja curriculum and elements of esoteric magic. Martial arts expert Antony Cummins contextualizes these translated documents by providing a history of the era and the school itself. The abundant illustrations form a useful martial arts manual, bringing to life the skills required to master everything from jujutsu and shuriken-jutsu (throwing blades) to swords, chain weapons, and the quarterstaff. The Lost Samurai School is a journey into the past that will preserve such skills for future generations and will appeal to anyone interested in martial arts or Japanese history.

Описание: Grace. Such an amazing word. "Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me." The impact of those words never really touched my heart until about five years ago when I gave my life to Christ and I realized the amazing meaning behind the word GRACE.You see, I grew up as a statistic just like a lot of poor teenage girls did, and still do. Until five years ago at the age of 39 when God got a hold of my life, I had lived a life of constant failure. I couldn't escape my past. It wouldn't go away no matter how hard I tried to ignore it or get away from it. I kept reliving the same mistakes and failures over and over again. That was the problem, in all actuality. Until I was ready to stand up and face my past and work through the pain I lived through, I would continue to live in a cycle of failure.I grew up on welfare and lived 'across the tracks' for most of my teenage years. My parents divorced and my father walked away. That wasn't such a bad thing though because he was never really a dad to us even when he was actually in the home. It was freeing for me when he left. I went wild and started my teenage life of rebellion.I had my first son at the age of 16. Four years later, I was pregnant with twins and lost them both at different stages of my pregnancy. I was promiscuous with sex throughout my life due to my father struggling with sexual sins and introducing them to me. I have been married and divorced multiple times. I was diagnosed stage III cervical cancer at the age of 22. Due to all the emotional pain I held inside throughout my life, I eventually started using drugs to find happiness. Surprised, aren't you? I became a hopeless drug addict who was just trying to kill the pain I was living with inside of me from years of stuffed hurt. I was just looking for an unconditional love to fill my heart. Then one day, I had a life changing encounter with God. I had an experience so powerful that my life has been forever changed. He is continually changing me and growing up in Him Until that day when I met Christ, I was just a girl who had traveled down many destructive roads due to my rebellion, anger, and obsessive need to feel loved and accepted. Believing that I would never be able to be loved...I felt I would always be doomed to live a life of misery and hopelessness.However, I am no longer that girl and I am no longer ashamed of where I've been. I have finally come to know and accept God's wonderful grace, compassion, mercy, and forgiveness in my life. He has shown me how he has protected me and saved me numerous times...even in the midst of all my rebellion.I'm hoping God's story of my life will touch your heart and reveal to you that there is NO sin that he cannot forgive, NO emotional wound that he cannot heal, NO life he cannot redeem for his good if you just seek him. Will you ask him to help you and allow him to work in your life?God pursues you. He loves you. God has a purpose for your life. God also has a purpose for my life...I just didn't know it yet.
