El Salón Italiano de Cádiz, conocido como la heladería «Los Italianos», es el epicentro de la historia de amor entre Harry y Marina, cuyas vidas se entrelazan en la posguerra. A través de la narración alternada de sus historias, conocemos a sus protagonistas: Harry, es inteligente y tiene buen corazón. Su familia inglesa forma parte de la alta burguesía, militar y conservadora, pero está abrumada por los enormes cambios sociales que ocurrieron en el período de entreguerras. La historia de Harry nos lleva desde su primer recuerdo, el día de la rendición de los Nazis, hasta su llegada a Cádiz en 1962. Marina es guapa, lista y tiene el fi rme propósito de triunfar en la vida. Al principio, su familia le proporciona las circunstancias ideales para lograr este resultado: sus familiares son gente con iniciativa y ganas de trabajar para hacerse una vida mejor. Mientras se fragua la guerra huyen de Italia y abren la famosa heladería de la calle Ancha. La obsesión con la heladería provoca una desavenencia que casi destruye a la familia. Cuando conoce a Harry, Marina fi nalmente puede imaginarse otra manera de vivir. A pesar de las tensiones culturales y familiares, Harry se escapa de los constreñimientos de su clase social, y se empieza a conocer a sí mismo. Marina aprende que ella tiene que ser egoísta si quiere lograr su propia felicidad. Desde la contenida acuarela de la vida burguesa en Inglaterra, al óleo de colorido chillón de Cádiz, Amor, guerra y helado nos cuenta la historia de dos familias que luchan para sobrevivir en el nuevo orden mundial. Depende de Harry y de Marina demostrarles a sus padres que la vida as para vivirla.

Este tierno, y en ocasiones comico, tiene como telon de fondo el choque entre dos culturas distintas, y toca a fondo los puntos en comun entre ambas: el honor, la responsabilidad, la integridad, y el amor eterno... Los lectores se entusiasmaran con Los Campo y Los Fairtlough... -Blue Ink Review Harry creyo haber visto una fi gura vestida de blanco por la ventana abierta. Sera ella? Harry miro otra vez desde la entrada de la Iglesia de San Antonio hacia la arboleda de la plaza, con el sol pegandole en la cara desde lo alto de las casas. Del balcon del apartamento donde Marina habia vivido toda su vida brotaban geranios, brillantes y alegres como el repique de las campanas. Algo rozo su brazo. La mano enguantada de su madre. Por un momento el habia olvidado que se encontraba alli. -En algunos paises es costumbre dejar al novio esperando -le dijo ella. Sus labios sonreian seguros en senal de afi rmacion, mientras el monton de plumas de su sombrero se movia al unisono. Sin embargo, estas palabras no tuvieron el efecto deseado. Harry se dejo invadir por el panico. Le habra prohibido Don Arturo a Marina casarse conmigo? Casi desfallece ante este pensamiento. Su padre se habia mostrado ambiguo acerca del compromiso. Dona Iole sin embargo no podia ser mas feliz, y siendo ella la que dirigia la situacion, no importaba mucho lo que su marido pensara al respecto. -Marina debe venir -se dijo Harry a si mismo. En ese momento, de las pesadas sombras surgio una fi gura corriendo. Era Gianni, el hermano de Marina."

“Baca writes with unconcealed passion . . . and manifests both an intense lyricism and that transformative vision which perceives the mythical and archetypal significance of life events.”—Denise Levertov Champion of the International Poetry Slam, winner of the Before Columbus American Book Award, the International Hispanic Heritage Award, the Pushcart Prize, and the prestigious International Award, Jimmy Santiago Baca has been writing as a mestizo (part Native American, part Mexican) and an outsider ever since he learned to read and write—in English—during a six-year Federal prison sentence when he was in his twenties. Drawing on his rich ethnic heritage and his life growing up in poverty in the Southwestern United States, Baca has a created a body of work which speaks to the disenfranchised by drawing on his experiences as a prisoner, a father, a poet, and by reflecting on the lush, and sometimes stark, landscape of the Rio Grande valley. In response to increased demand for Latino poetry in Spanish, and to thousands of Baca fans who are bilingual, this unique collection contains Spanish translations of Baca’s poetry selected from the volumes Martín and Mediations on the South Valley (1987), Black Mesa Poems (1989), Immigrants in Our Own Land (1990), Healing Earthquakes (2001), C-Train and Thirteen Mexicans (2002), Winter Poems Along the Rio Grande (2004), and Spring Poems Along the Rio Grande (2007).

In The Unsung Hero, award-winning author Suzanne Brockmann dazzled readers with her remarkable cast of tough and tender U.S. Navy SEALs. Now her daring men in uniform return for THE DEFIANT HERO—a thrilling novel of steadfast courage, intimate passions, and the profound risks that are taken in the name of love. . . . "The United States refuses to negotiate with terrorists." Meg Moore remembered the warning from her job as a translator in a European embassy. Those same words will spell out a death sentence for her daughter and grandmother who have been kidnapped by a lethal group called the Extremists. Meg will do anything to meet their unspeakable demands; anything—even kill—to save her child. When Navy SEAL Lieutenant, junior grade, John Nilsson is summoned to Washington, D.C., by the FBI to help negotiate a hostage situation, the last person he expects to see holding a foreign ambassador at gunpoint is Meg. He hasn't seen her in years, but he's never forgotten how it feels to hold her in his arms. John could lose his career if he helps her escape. She will lose her life if he doesn't. . . .

(abridged and revised) This reference grammar offers intermediate and advanced students a reason ably comprehensive guide to the morphology and syntax of educated speech and plain prose in Spain and Latin America at the end of the twentieth century. Spanish is the main, usually the sole official language of twenty-one countries,} and it is set fair to overtake English by the year 2000 in numbers 2 of native speakers. This vast geographical and political diversity ensures that Spanish is a good deal less unified than French, German or even English, the latter more or less internationally standardized according to either American or British norms. Until the 1960s, the criteria of internationally correct Spanish were dictated by the Real Academia Espanola, but the prestige of this institution has now sunk so low that its most solemn decrees are hardly taken seriously - witness the fate of the spelling reforms listed in the Nuevas normas de prosodia y ortograjia, which were supposed to come into force in all Spanish-speaking countries in 1959 and, nearly forty years later, are still selectively ignored by publishers and literate persons everywhere. The fact is that in Spanish 'correctness' is nowadays decided, as it is in all living languages, by the consensus of native speakers; but consensus about linguistic usage is obviously difficult to achieve between more than twenty independent, widely scattered and sometimes mutually hostile countries. Peninsular Spanish is itself in flux.
