El autor bestseller internacional, Mario Escobar, regresa con la impactante historia de Camilo Cienfuegos, el héroe olvidado de la Revolución cubana.

Camilo Cienfuegos fue un carismático revolucionario que se hizo amigo de Fidel Castro cuando empezaron las protestas para derrocar la dictadura de Fulgencio Batista. Siempre fiel a los ideales de la Revolución, Cienfuegos luchó al lado de Fidel, Raúl y el Che Guevara, y llegó a ganarse la simpatía del pueblo cubano gracias a su humildad y franqueza.

Tras ganar varias batallas, la rivalidad entre Camilo y Fidel se fue acentuando y sus ideales se separaron. Las ideas pacifistas de Camilo le ganaron el afecto de la gente, pero la ambición de Castro por el poder absoluto y una secreta envidia de su fiel amigo lo borrarían de la historia.

Cuando, temeroso de los designios de los Castro, Camilo decidió irse al exilio, un trágico accidente lo hizo desaparecer del mapa. Algunos creen que el avión en el que viajaba de regreso a la Habana, después de atender los últimos encargos de Fidel, fue derribado por un misil. Lo cierto es que no quedaron rastros de él ni de los supuestos testigos del accidente. Algún día se sabrá la verdad?

International bestselling author Mario Escobar returns with the powerful story of Camilo Cienfuegos, the unsung hero of the Cuban Revolution.

Camilo Cienfuegos was a charismatic revolutionary who befriended Fidel Castro when protests began to overthrow the dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista. Always loyal to the ideals of the Revolution, Cienfuegos fought alongside Fidel, Raul, and Che Guevara, and won the sympathy of the Cuban people thanks to his humility and honesty.

After winning several battles, the rivalry between Camilo and Fidel grew stronger and their ideals diverged. Camilo's pacifist ideas won him the affection of the people, but Castro's ambition for absolute power and a secret envy to his faithful friend would erase him from history.

When, fearful of the Castro's designs, Camilo decided to go into exile, a tragic accident made him disappear from the map. Some believe that the plane in which he was traveling back to Havana, after attending to Fidel's last orders, was shot down by a missile. What is certain is that no traces of him or of the supposed witnesses of the accident were left. Will the truth be known some day?

Coatlicue Girl is the long-anticipated bilingual collection from one of Xicana literature's most subversive voices. Griselda L. Muñoz navigates her own inner cosmology to bring forth stories and poems that speak of passion, survival, and perseverance of cultural identity.

In these vulnerable pages, there are lessons and conversations with Audre Lorde, Tina Turner, Nikki Giovanni, and Naomi Ayala as well as my ancestors, children, the ocean, and me. All of it centering around inheritance, shame, grief, resilience, spirituality, and the multitudinous roles of women.

With an estimated 8 to 10 million Puerto Ricans living outside of the island, it can sometimes be difficult to feel that attachment to their homeland. But no matter where they are in the world, they will loudly tell you that they are Boricua De Cora!

As a Puerto Rican kid who lives in New York, Noah often finds himself curious about his heritage. He loves the culture, the music, the yummy foods and every athlete that represents the tiny island. Fortunately for him, winter break is upon him and now he's off to Puerto Rico with his family and his new best friend, Tito, a fun-spirited coqui.

After a quick stroll through Old San Juan, Noah goes to his Abuela's house as they prepare for the Navidades. There would be lots of partying, singing, dancing and eating. This was the best Christmas ever!

But the next day when he goes to the beach, he stumbles upon some bullies who say he's not a real Puerto Rican because he doesn't live there. His spirit is broken but Abuela comes to the rescue and explains why he is as much Puerto Rican as anyone else from the island.

This story is about belonging and acceptance while also introducing the readers to what Christmas is like in Puerto Rico. You'll also find many fun references that kids will learn about for the first time, while parents will feel the nostalgia and reminisce of everything they love about Puerto Rico.

One more journey to the universe of Roberto Bolaño, an essential voice of contemporary Latin American literature

Cowboy Graves is an unexpected treasure from the vault of a revolutionary talent. Roberto Bolaño's boundless imagination and seemingly inexhaustible gift for shaping the chaos of his reality into fiction is unmistakable in these three novellas. In "Cowboy Graves," Arturo Belano--Bolaño's alter ego--returns to Chile after the coup to fight with his comrades for socialism. "French Comedy of Horrors" takes the reader to French Guiana on the night after an eclipse where a seventeen year old answers a pay phone and finds himself recruited into the Clandestine Surrealist Group, a secret society of artists based in the sewers of Paris. And in "Fatherland," a young poet reckons with the fascist overthrow of his country, as the woman he is obsessed with disappears in the ensuing violence and a Third Reich fighter plane mysteriously writes her poetry in the sky overhead.

These three fiercely original tales bear the signatures of Bolaño's extraordinary body of work, echoing the strange characters and uncanny scenes of his triumphs, while deepening our reverence for his gifts.

Albers in "the promised land of abstract art" the little-known influence of Mexico

"Mexico is truly the promised land of abstract art," Josef Albers wrote to his former Bauhaus colleague Vasily Kandinsky in 1936. Josef Albers in Mexico reveals the profound link between the art and architecture of ancient Mesoamerica and Albers' abstract works on canvas and paper. With his wife, the artist Anni Albers, Albers toured pre-Columbian archeological sites and monuments during his 12 or more trips to Mexico and other Latin American countries between 1935 and 1968. On each visit, Albers took black-and-white photographs of pyramids, shrines, sanctuaries and landscapes, which he later assembled into rarely seen photo collages. The resulting works demonstrate Albers' continued formal experimentation with geometry, this time accentuating a pre-Columbian aesthetic.

Josef Albers in Mexico brings together photographs, photo collages, prints and significant paintings from the Variants/Adobe (1946-66) and Homage to the Square (1950-76) series from the collections of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and the Anni and Josef Albers Foundation. Two scholarly essays, an illustrated map and vivid color reproductions of paintings and works on paper illuminate this little-known period in the influential artist's practice.

Bilingual English/Spanish. This nuanced picture book tackles the difficult and timely subject of family separation and deportation.

Near the border, the cars began to move very slowly. "Papá, go fast. I want to see Mamá," I said.

José loves helping Mamá in the garden outside their home in California. But when Mamá is sent back to Mexico for not having proper papers, José and his Papá face an uncertain future. What will it be like to visit Mamá in Tijuana? When will Mamá be able to come home?

Award-winning children's book author René Colato Laínez tackles the difficult and timely subject of family separation with exquisite tenderness. René is donating a portion of his royalties to El Centro Madre Assunta, a refuge for women and children who are waiting to be reunited with their families up north. Joe Cepeda's bright and engaging illustrations bring this story of hope to vivid life.

The largest collection of poetry ever assembled in English by "the most important Spanish-language writer since Cervantes" (Mario Vargas Llosa)

A Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition with flaps and deckle-edged paper

This new bilingual selection brings together some two hundred poems, including scores of poems never previously translated.

Throughout this unique collection the brilliance of the Spanish originals is matched by luminous English versions by a remarkable cast of translators, including Robert Fitzgerald, Stephen Kessler, W. S. Merwin, Alastair Reid, Mark Strand, Charles Tomlinson, and John Updike.

From a veteran broadcaster and historian comes a richly reported portrait of the newest Americans, immigrants from all over the globe who are living all across the country, filled with their own voices.

We are a nation of immigrants, never more than now. In recent decades, the numbers have skyrocketed, thanks to people coming from many continents--especially Asia, Africa, and South America. Just like their predecessors, they face countless obstacles, including political hatred. And yet, just like their predecessors, they work hard. They persist. And they become us. The newest Americans are poorly understood and frequently presented only in stereotypes. Veteran journalist, broadcaster, and interviewer Ray Suarez has criss-crossed the country to speak to new Americans from all corners of the globe, and to record their stories. This portrait of our newest citizens is full of their own, compelling voices. It's a story as old as the country, yet each new wave of arrivals tells that classic story in new and crucially important ways.

In both English and Spanish, a young girl shares the story of how she and her family arrived in the United States. She describes her experiences as being "just like home" or "not like home."

From the author and illustrator of Quinito's Neighborhood comes this delightful story full of opposites.

From first thing in the morning until he goes to sleep at night, Quinito is up and running-fast or slow, depending on the day. If it's sunny, he's off to the park to swing high and low. If it's rainy, Quinito stays home, where he can be quiet at nap-time and loud at playtime. There's so much to do before the sun sets.

Ina Cumpiano teams up with José Ramírez once more to show young readers that everywhere they look, opposites abound. Quinito, Day and Night is a delight for all kinds of readers: young or old, tall or short, messy or neat.

Bilingual English/Spanish. Miles away from their home in El Salvador, Xochitl (SOH-cheel) and her family make a new home in the United States, but nothing is the same.

Xochitl mourns a lovely garden and her family's small flower business, all left behind. Selling flowers on the street soon provides more than income for the Flores family: they begin to make friends with local storeowners and neighbors. But it is not until the family decides to start a nursery in its backyard that Xochitl begins to learn the true value of community in their adopted country.

Basing his narrative on real-life events, prize-winning poet Jorge Argueta has crafted a tender, poetic, and moving story about a family's determination to set down roots and about their child's blooming among friends and neighbors. Artist Carl Angel's authentic and brilliant artwork splendidly documents this quintessentially American immigration story.

As both girls' families scramble to maintain stability amidst the rapidly escalating conflict, Petrona and Chula find themselves entangled in a web of secrecy.

Inspired by the author's own life, Fruit of the Drunken Tree is a powerful testament to the impossible choices women are often forced to make in the face of violence and the unexpected connections that can blossom out of desperation.
