Beschreibung

La escritora cubana Lydia Cabrera conoció en persona al fotógrafo francés Pierre Fatumbi Verger en 1954, en el Hotel Ritz de París. Le llevó, como obsequio, un ejemplar de su monumental El monte, que acababa de publicarse en La Habana ese año. Otro amigo común, Roger Bastide, etnólogo y profesor de la Universidad de Sorbonne los había presentado. Desde entonces se estableció entre Cabrera y Verger una relación epistolar centrada sobre todo en el interés mutuo por las artes y religiones de África.
Esta Correspondencia con Pierre Verger es el fruto de un diálogo fraterno que duró décadas. En las cartas aquí reunidas se habla de religión, de arte, de historia y también de sus propias vidas. Lydia se sincera más de una vez y le cuenta a Pierre de su desarraigo tras terminar viviendo exiliada en Miami. Hay también un profundo respeto y una admiración mutuas.

    A new offering from the author of the hugely successful Mother of Black Hollywood. 
    Walking in My Joy is a collection of electric stories by the one and only, super hilarious Jenifer Lewis. Her commentary on what’s happening in the world today, told through her outrageous real-life adventures, will have you laughing out loud, while her insightful messages touch your soul. 
    A self-described “traveling fool and nature freak,” Jenifer takes readers with her all over the world, from Cape Town to Bali; Washington, DC, to the Serengeti; Mongolia to St. Petersburg; and Argentina to Antarctica to demonstrate how she walks in her joy by seeking pleasure in everyday encounters. Every step of the way you’ll be doubled over with laughter as she faints at the Obamas’ holiday party; awakens to a swollen face and has to go to the hospital during the height of the Covid pandemic; an alien visitation; a successful takedown of a conman; as well as meeting a handsome Maasai warrior and being chased by a Cape buffalo. 
    An actress, activist, and mental health advocate, Jenifer Lewis imparts ways to love yourself that will allow you to deflect negative energy and keep people who may come to take your joy in check. She stresses the importance of fully living to your greatest ambitions and taking the time to admire the world’s natural gifts. She also encourages embracing each other’s uniqueness as a way of finding societal healing. Walking in My Joy is a riveting and enthralling journey. 
    Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

    For two hundred years, British slave ships plied in the Middle Passage, taking African men, women, and children to their doom. Ending slavery in the mighty British Empire seemed like an impossible dream, but once William Wilberforce resolved to represent the abolitionists in Parliament, he would fight to the bitter end - for nearly half a century - to achieve that goal. Together with a community of dynamic reformers, Wilberforce struggled to rid his nation of evil and to give dignity and freedom to all people - slave and slave trader, poor and powerful. His example continues to inspire others to use their gifts and influence to do good against the odds.

    A day in the life of a student nurse, what could possibly go wrong? If you're training to be a nurse right now, or just fancy an insight into what they do, read this book. It will tell you that sleepless nights from constant worrying is absolutely normal. To make mistakes and want the ground to swallow you up then get over them; this is normal. To eat and drink very little all day and suffer with constipation; this is, yes you guessed it: normal. 
     
    No one tells you anything when you sign up. In fact, they forget to tell you very important details that actually make you believe you are losing your mind. Delirium is such a thing. But what will come out of this is a degree in nursing, followed by a registration which will give you the entitlement to being called a registered nurse-adults or children’s depends on what you chose. For me it’s an adult registered nurse. Don’t get overly excited you will have to pay £120 every year to have it renewed. You will need to be in a union of some sort, which equals more cost. On a lighter note the memories, the friendships and the experiences you receive, nursing profession: I love you.

    Faith That Fed Thousands: The True Story of George Müller’s Radical Trust in God 
    What happens when one man decides to rely on prayer alone to meet every need? 
    Sincere attempts to define George Müller as a preacher, evangelist, or a man who cared for the poor, fail to illustrate why you should read about him. 
    The man who cared for over 10,000 orphans and established 120 schools is best remembered for the principles by which he lived his life - principles that are now within your reach. 
    Hear, in Müller’s own words, his early days caught in theft and deceit, his conversion to Christ, his reliance upon the Bible alone as his foundation for truth. Hear of his faith – grown large enough to move mountains. 
    In this first part, Müller documents those initial mountains down the nearest penny, the thinnest spool of thread, and the last soul hungry for the gospel. All achieved without a salary, nor requesting any donation from anyone. 
    Now turned into an audiobook, with chapter headings, plus an introduction by author and narrator David G. Allen, this version of A Narration gives readers appropriate resting points, a sense of direction, and greater anticipation of each step in Müller’s journey. 
    It’s more than an autobiography. It’s a living testimony of what faith can do. 
    Explore a life whose legacy is sealed in the record books of heaven.

    “[Twain] was, in the phrase of his friend William Dean Howells, ‘the Lincoln of our literature’... At the heart of his work lies that greatest of all American qualities: irreverence.” — Washington Post  
    “More than 100 years after [Twain] wrote these stories, they remain not only remarkably funny but remarkably modern.... Ninety-nine years after his death, Twain still manages to get the last laugh.” — Vanity Fair  
    Who Is Mark Twain? is a collection of twenty six wickedly funny, thought-provoking essays by Samuel Langhorne Clemens—aka Mark Twain—none of which have ever been published before, and all of which are completely contemporary, amazingly relevant, and gut-bustingly hilarious.
