Los dos se enamoran apasionadamente, pero este amor pronto es destruido por la desmedida sed de conquista, poder y riqueza de Cortes. A lo largo de la historia de Mexico Malinalli/Malinche ha sido conocida por su traicion al pueblo indio.

Later, like a flash of lightning, like a silver tongue in the heavens over the Valley of Anahuac, a storm appeared that would wash the blood from the stones. After the sacrifice, the city darkened and thunderous eruptions were heard. Then, a silver serpent appeared in the sky, seen distinctly from many different places. And it began to rain in such a way as had been rarely seen. All afternoon and evening it rained and through the following day as well. For three days the rains would not cease. It rained so hard that the priests and wise men of Anahuac became alarmed. They were accustomed to listening to and interpreting the voice of the water, but on this occasion they insisted that not only was Tlaloc, God of Rain, trying to tell them something but that by means of the water he had allowed a new light to fall over them, a new vision that would bring a dif-ferent meaning to their lives, and although they did not yet clearly know what it was, they could feel it in their hearts. Before their minds could correctly interpret the depth of this message that the waters revealed as they fell, the rains stopped and a radiant sun was reflected in myriad places among the small lakes and rivers and canals that had been left brimming with water.That day, far from the Valley of Anahuac, in the region of Painala, a woman struggled to give birth to her first child. The sound of the rain drowned out her groans. Her mother-in-law, who was acting as midwife, did not know whether to pay more attention to her daughter-in-law about to give birth or to the message of the god Tlaloc.It didnt take long for her to decide in favor of her sons wife. It was a difficult delivery. In spite of her long experience, she had never been present at such a birth. While washing the mother-to-be in the bathhouse just prior to the delivery, she had failed to notice that the fetus was in the wrong position. Everything had seemed to be in order, yet the anticipated birth was taking longer than usual. Her daughter-in-law had been naked and squatting for quite a long while and still couldnt deliver. The mother-in-law, realizing that the...

-Titulo Original : As A Woman What I Learned About Power, Sex, And The Patriarchy After I Transitioned-Fabricante : Atria-Descripcion Original: This moving and unforgettable memoir of a transgender pastor’s transition from male to female is an “audacious, gripping, and profoundly real journey that speaks to the mind, heart, and soul” (Joshua J. Dickson, director of Faith Based Initiatives, Biden Campaign)-perfect for fans of Redefining Realness and There Is Room for You.As a father of three, married to a wonderful woman, and holding several prominent jobs within the Christian community, Dr. Paula Stone Williams made the life-changing decision to physically transition from male to female at the age of sixty. Almost instantly, her power and influence in the evangelical world disappeared and her family had to grapple with intense feelings of loss and confusion. Feeling utterly alone after being expelled from the evangelical churches she had once spearheaded, Paula struggled to create a new safe space for herself where she could reconcile her faith, her identity, and her desire to be a leader. Much to her surprise, the key to her new career as a woman came with a deeper awareness of the inequities she had overlooked before her transition. Where her opinions were once celebrated and amplified, now she found herself sidelined and ignored. New questions emerged. Why are women’s opinions devalued in favor of men’s? Why does love and intimacy feel so different? And, was it possible to find a new spirituality in her own image? In As a Woman, Paula’s “critical questions about gender, personhood, and place are relevant to anyone. Her writing insightfully reveals aspects of our gender socialization and culture that often go unexamined, but that need to be talked about, challenged, and changed” (Soraya Chemaly, author of Rage Becomes Her) in order to fully understand what it means to be male, female, and simply, human. Review “This is a book for anyone who’s ever needed to make a change, and let’s be honest, that’s all of us. So, let Paula be your guide. Her beautifully told personal story mixed with her acute observations about privilege and authenticity will leave you feeling open and hopeful.” -- Briar Goldberg, director of Speaker Coaching, TED Conferences“Paula Stone Williams’ critical questions about gender, personhood, and place are relevant to anyone. Her writing insightfully reveals aspects of our gender socialization and culture that often go unexamined, but that need to be talked about, challenged, and changed.” -- Soraya Chemaly, author of Rage Becomes Her: The Power of Women’s Anger“When I was a young pastor, a teenager dared to confide to me that the authentic person inside didn’t match the gender of the body seen by the outside world. I wish As a Woman had been available to me then. It not only helps us understand the experience of many of our neighbors; it also inspires us to listen for the sound of the genuine, as Howard Thurman called it, in others-and in ourselves.” -- Brian D. McLaren, author of Faith After Doubt“Paula’s storytelling is artful, funny, and inspiring. If you look like me-middle-aged white American man-you’ll understand your unique super-power to make our country better for our mothers, sisters, and daughters as well as everyone else who doesn’t look like us.” -- T. Scott Case, cofounder and CEO, Upside“The honesty with which Paula tells her story is the foundation of all true art. It is an imperfect journey riddled with betrayal, sadness, and true loneliness, but Paula never doubts the love she has for her family, her community, or her faith. These stories are the kind that we all need to share.” -- Sean Hanish, writer and director, Return to Zero and Saint Judy“This book is nothing less than an audacious, gripping, and profoundly real journey that speaks to the mind, heart, and soul. As we grapple with what it means to love people as Jesus did, As a Woman provides poignant insights into the beauty, complexity, and deeply intersectional nature of all God’s children. What’s more, Paula’s brilliant writing, disc...

-Titulo Original : Laziness Does Not Exist-Fabricante : Atria-Descripcion Original: From social psychologist Dr. Devon Price, a conversational, stirring call to “a better, more human way to live” (Cal Newport, New York Times bestselling author) that examines the “laziness lie”-which falsely tells us we are not working or learning hard enough.Extra-curricular activities. Honors classes. 60-hour work weeks. Side hustles. Like many Americans, Dr. Devon Price believed that productivity was the best way to measure self-worth. Price was an overachiever from the start, graduating from both college and graduate school early, but that success came at a cost. After Price was diagnosed with a severe case of anemia and heart complications from overexertion, they were forced to examine the darker side of all this productivity. Laziness Does Not Exist explores the psychological underpinnings of the “laziness lie,” including its origins from the Puritans and how it has continued to proliferate as digital work tools have blurred the boundaries between work and life. Using in-depth research, Price explains that people today do far more work than nearly any other humans in history yet most of us often still feel we are not doing enough. Filled with practical and accessible advice for overcoming society’s pressure to do more, and featuring interviews with researchers, consultants, and experiences from real people drowning in too much work, Laziness Does Not Exist “is the book we all need right now” (Caroline Dooner, author of The F*ck It Diet). Review “What a breath of fresh air. This is the book we all need right now! We are burnt out. We are operating under subconscious beliefs about productivity and busyness and worth that are depleting us daily. And we are making ourselves sick and miserable in the process- but theres a better way. This book will help you understand laziness and look at yourself (and others) with compassion, and create a more sustainable and joyful life.”-Caroline Dooner, author of The F*ck It Diet“Price examines the main tenets of the “Laziness Lie,” seamlessly weaves vignettes into their narrative, and offers tips to help mitigate the pressure we all feel to push ourselves beyond what is healthy or necessary. The ultimate goal is letting go of guilt and increasing happiness. With particular impact for those in managerial positions, Prices important and eye-opening book will benefit every reader.”-BooklistOverload should be a sign that you have a problem, not a source of pride. Devon Price offers hope to the chronically busy: theres a better, more human way to live. - Cal Newport, New York Times bestselling author of Digital Minimalism and Deep WorkIf learning how to be more productive in the new year is part of your resolution, this is not the book for you. But if understanding why you think you need to aspire to that goal and how to learn “to be more comfortable with being less productive than society” says you ought to be, it is definitely worth a read.-Financial Times Using examples from social psychology research, interviews, and their own life, Price argues that theres real value in quiet time, and that working less can actually make you more creative, effective, and content.”-SHAPE Price takes a cleareyed look at the science and psychology behind the concepts of laziness and productivity...With tips on setting boundaries and integrating beneficial techniques like expressive writing into your daily routine, Price’s book will give you a fresh perspective on the meaning of success-and the confidence to schedule more “me-time” this year.-BookpagePrices first book.

Criado en un hogar abusivo, Danny lucho, desde joven, con una adiccion a la heroina y periodos en algunas de las prisiones estatales mas infames del pais, incluyendo San Quentin y Folsom, antes de protagonizar los clasicos modernos como Heat, From Dusk till Dawn y Machete. Ahora, en estas memorias graciosas, desgarradoras y llenas de suspenso, Danny nos lleva a traves de los increibles altibajos de su vida, incluidos el conocer en prision a uno de los asesinos en serie mas famosos del mundo y trabajar con leyendas como Charles Bronson y Robert De Niro. En detalles honestos e impavidos, Danny relata como logro manejar los horrores de la prision, reconstruirse luego de encontrar la sobriedad y la espiritualidad en confinamiento solitario, e inspirarse en los robos infundidos con adrenalina de su pasado para los papeles cinematograficos que lo convirtieron en un personaje famoso. Tambien comparte las dolorosas contradicciones de su vida personal. Aunque habla sobre su pasado tanto en prisiones como en NPR para inspirar a un sinnumero de personas en sus propios caminos a la recuperacion y redencion, el aun lucha por ayudar a sus hijos con sus propias batallas con la adiccion y por armar relaciones duraderas. Redentor y lacerante, conmovedor y real, Trejo es el retrato de una vida magnifica y un viaje inolvidable y excepcional a traves de la tragedia, el dolor y, finalmente, el exito que te cautivara e inspirara. Review “De exconvicto a icono. La increible historia de vida de Danny muestra que, aunque en algun momento de nuestras vidas nos podamos caer, lo que realmente cuenta es lo que hacemos cuando nos levantamos”. -- Robert Rodriguez, creador de Spy Kids, Desperado y Machete“La historia de Trejo, contada por Logue, es un estudio inspirador sobre la definicion del caracter. El viaje de Danny de recuperacion y autodescubrimiento es como una guia para aquellos que todavia estamos luchando por descubrirnos a nosotros mismos. Esto tiene que convertirse en una pelicula, pero ¿quien sino Danny podria interpretar a El Trejo?”. -- Kevin Smith, cineasta, locutor de podcast y autor“Hace mucho que reconozco a Danny Trejo como un icono estadounidense. Pero lo que no sabia es que tambien es un gran narrador. Repleto de corazon y generosidad, humor travieso y sabiduria lograda con esfuerzo, Trejo atraviesa generaciones, culturas y fronteras para colocar a los lectores en un vuelo honrado e inspirador”. -- Francisco Cantu, autor best seller del New York Times de The Line Becomes a River“Danny Trejo es un tesoro estadounidense. Desde que tengo nueve años, he sido su fan. En mi opinion, ha tenido una de las carreras mas legendarias en la historia de Hollywood. Si eres un fan como yo, este es definitivamente el libro para ti”. -- Pete Davidson, actor, productor y miembro del elenco de Saturday Night Live“Trejo, las memorias inquebrantables y exquisitamente escritas de Danny Trejo, desentraña su extraordinario viaje desde el calabozo en la prision de Folsom y la infame Seccion B en San Quentin hasta las vertiginosas alturas de los papeles principales en peliculas de Hollywood.

-Titulo Original : How To See Yourself As You Really Are-Fabricante : Atria-Descripcion Original: According to His Holiness the Dalai Lama, we each possess the ability to achieve happiness and a meaningful life, but the key to realizing that goal is self-knowledge. In How to See Yourself As You Really Are, the worlds foremost Buddhist leader and recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize shows readers how to recognize and dispel misguided notions of self and embrace the world from a more realistic -- and loving -- perspective. Through illuminating explanations and step-by-step exercises, His Holiness helps readers to see the world as it actually exists, and explains how, through the interconnection of meditative concentration and love, true altruistic enlightenment is attained. Enlivened by personal anecdotes and intimate accounts of the Dalai Lamas own life experiences, How to See Yourself As You Really Are is an inspirational and empowering guide that can be read and enjoyed by anyone seeking spiritual fulfillment. About the Author Tenzin Gyatso, the Fourteenth Dalai Lama, is the spiritual leader of the Tibetan people. He frequently describes himself as a simple Buddhist monk. Born in northeastern Tibet in 1935, he was as a toddler recognized as the incarnation of the Thirteenth Dalai Lama and brought to Tibets capital, Lhasa. In 1950, Mao Zedongs Communist forces made their first incursions into eastern Tibet, shortly after which the young Dalai Lama assumed the political leadership of his country. He passed his scholastic examinations with honors at the Great Prayer Festival in Lhasa in 1959, the same year Chinese forces occupied the city, forcing His Holiness to escape to India. There he set up the Tibetan government-in-exile in Dharamsala, working to secure the welfare of the more than 100,000 Tibetan exiles and prevent the destruction of Tibetan culture. In his capacity as a spiritual and political leader, he has traveled to more than sixty-two countries on six continents and met with presidents, popes, and leading scientists to foster dialogue and create a better world. In recognition of his tireless work for the nonviolent liberation of Tibet, the Dalai Lama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989. In 2012, he relinquished political authority in his exile government and turned it over to democratically elected representatives. His Holiness frequently states that his life is guided by three major commitments: the promotion of basic human values or secular ethics in the interest of human happiness, the fostering of interreligious harmony, and securing the welfare of the Tibetan people, focusing on the survival of their identity, culture, and religion. As a superior scholar trained in the classical texts of the Nalanda tradition of Indian Buddhism, he is able to distill the central tenets of Buddhist philosophy in clear and inspiring language, his gift for pedagogy imbued with his infectious joy. Connecting scientists with Buddhist scholars, he helps unite contemplative and modern modes of investigation, bringing ancient tools and insights to bear on the acute problems facing the contemporary world. His efforts to foster dialogue among leaders of the worlds faiths envision a future where people of different beliefs can share the planet in harmony. Wisdom Publications is proud to be the premier publisher of the Dalai Lamas more serious and in-depth works.Jeffrey Hopkins, Ph.D., served for a decade as the interpreter for the Dalai Lama. A Buddhist scholar and the author of more than thirty-five books and translations, he is emeritus professor of Tibetan and Buddhist studies at the University of Virginia, where he founded the largest academic program of Tibetan Buddhist studies in the West...

-Titulo Original : The Red Dahlia (anna Travis Mysteries)-Fabricante : Atria-Descripcion Original: THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER! FOR THOSE WHO LOVE MYSTERIES BUT WISH THAT PATRICIA CORNWELL HAD A DIRTIER MIND,* the author of Above Suspicion and the acclaimed Prime Suspect series returns with a new mystery. When the body of a young girl is found dumped on the banks of the Thames, even the police are shocked by the brutality of her murder: horrifically mutilated, severed in half, and drained of blood, her corpse is an obvious mirror image of the famous Black Dahlia murder in 1940s Los Angeles. Now Detective Inspector Anna Travis must race against time to catch this copycat killer. She turns to her mentor, the brilliant and volatile Detective Chief Inspector James Langton, but the frictions of their romantic relationship are complicating the case. And then a second girl is found... From Publishers Weekly In her second Det. Insp. Anna Travis novel (after 2004s Above Suspicion), British author La Plante, best known for TVs Prime Suspect featuring DCI Jane Tennison, transports the unsolved Black Dahlia murder to present-day London with disappointing results. When a young woman is found butchered in a field, Anna unexpectedly ends up sharing the case with her former lover, DCI James Langton. As they learn the full extent of the murderers depravity, letters begin arriving at the police station and local paper, echoing those from the infamous Black Dahlia killer, active more than 50 years ago in Los Angeles. The self-named Red Dahlia Avenger mocks Anna and Langton as they hit one dead end after another. Anna lacks Tennisons tough vulnerability and floats through the story without much emotional investment. Procedural minutiae bog down this novel, which, despite the lurid subject matter, never manages to shock the reader. (July) Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. From Booklist *Starred Review* Detective Inspector Anna Travis hasnt worked with DCI James Langton since they teamed up to find a serial killer more than a year earlier. At that time they had a brief fling and parted company unhappily when Langton wouldnt commit to a long-term relationship. When theyre thrown together again on a murder case, Anna finds herself reattracted to Langton but vows to keep her feelings hidden. Given the nonstop demands of the case, thats not as difficult as she feared. The body of a beautiful young woman is found, cut in half and drained of blood. The autopsy reveals that the victim was tortured and brutalized before she died, and even the hardened cops on the case are shocked. With the killer still at large, comparisons are quickly made to the never-solved Black Dahlia murder in Los Angeles 50 years earlier, prompting the Red Dahlia moniker. When the case finally breaks open, its the stuff of nightmares. Gritty, gruesome, and graphic, the latest from Prime Suspect scriptwriter La Plante is stomach-churning but virtually unputdownable. A must-read for hard-boiled aficionados not afraid to follow the blood splatters wherever they may lead. Melton, Emily Copyright © American Library Association.

-Titulo Original : The Pearl Sister Book Four (the Seven Sisters)-Fabricante : Atria-Descripcion Original: From the breathtaking beaches of Thailand to the barely tamed wilds of colonial Australia, The Pearl Sister is the fourth “brilliantly written” (Historical Novel Society) novel in New York Times bestselling author Lucinda Riley’s epic Seven Sisters series. “Fans of Kristin Hannah, Kate Morton, and Riley’s previous novels will adore” (Booklist) this adventurous and moving story about two women searching for a place to call home. CeCe D’Apliese has always felt like an outcast. But following the death of her father-the reclusive billionaire affectionately called Pa Salt by the six daughters he adopted from around the globe-she finds herself more alone than ever. With nothing left to lose, CeCe delves into the mystery of her origins. The only clues she holds are a black and white photograph and the name of a female pioneer who once lived in Australia. One hundred years earlier, Kitty McBride, a Scottish clergyman’s daughter, abandons her conservative upbringing to serve as the companion to a wealthy woman traveling from Edinburgh to Adelaide. Her ticket to a new land brings the adventure she dreamed of and a love that she had never imagined. When CeCe herself finally reaches the searing heat and dusty plains of the Red Centre of Australia, something deep within her responds to the energy of the area and the ancient culture of the Aboriginal people. As she comes closer to finding the truth of her ancestry, CeCe begins to believe that this untamed, vast continent could offer her what she never thought possible: a sense of belonging, and a home.

From the beaches of Thailand to the Australian outback to a London flat, the landscapes are vividly drawn and lushly atmospheric.
