  Internationally acclaimed novelist Mario Vargas Llosa has contributed a  biweekly column to Spain's major newspaper, El País, since 1977. In this  collection of columns from the 1990s, Vargas Llosa weighs in on the  burning questions of the last decade, including the travails of Latin  American democracy, the role of religion in civic life, and the future  of globalization. But Vargas Llosa's influence is hardly limited to  politics. In some of the liveliest critical writing of his career, he  makes a pilgrimage to Bob Marley's shrine in Jamaica, celebrates the  sexual abandon of Carnaval in Rio, and examines the legacies of Vermeer,  Bertolt Brecht, Frida Kahlo, and Octavio Paz, among others.

  Hope From the Heart of Horses -...

  Hope . . . From the Heart of Horses explores and celebrates the relationship and bond possible between horses and humans. Each chapter offers a life lesson about trusting one's instincts, honestly addressing emotions, achieving clarity in communications, and releasing negative thoughts. 
   
   
   
  Because survival depends on being highly tuned to the thoughts and feelings of others, horses sense human intentions rather than what a person offers in facial expressions, which creates a remarkable effect on the relationship between these two distinctly different species. 
   
   
   
  Among the moving stories the author relates are a horse named Hope who teaches the difference between hope and faith; an abused horse's background bringing up old memories and helping the author to move on; a young Olympic equestrienne hopeful who discovers and reaffirms her self-esteem; and a corporate training session in which one participant achieves great success merely by being honest about her fears. 
   
   
   
  As you see how these people grow deeper into themselves as they learn the horse's way, you, too, will be inspired to explore and apply the deep and everlasting connection and communication between horses and humans.
