		<description><![CDATA[In 1908, Mexican captain Ramón Arnaud and his young bride, Alicia, set sail for Clipperton, a tiny Pacific atoll once dubbed Isle of Passion by Spanish explorers. Accompanied by eleven soldiers and their families, the captain is under orders to defend the isolated but strategically well situated island against an improbable French invasion. With its treacherous coral reef and stagnant lagoon, Clipperton is a dire, forbidding place for the new inhabitants. Rigid military order soon gives way to more informal island living, but under Ramón's guidance and inspired by Alicia's determination the group manages to create a viable community. There are a food store, pharmacy, lighthouse, even dinner parties. But then, amid political upheaval at home and the first rumblings of World War I, the Clipperton residents are forgotten. The supply ship slated to come every two months comes every third, then sixth, then not at all. Left to the mercies of nature and each other, they fall victim one by one to scurvy, hunger, despair, rivalry, lust and, ultimately, violence.    Alicia, steadfast and resourceful, becomes a beacon of strength for the remaining castaways, whose collective survival will depend upon her courage and cunning. Drawing on historical records, archives and interviews, prize-winning novelist Laura Restrepo has reimagined the incredible true story of love and war, hardship and endurance, adventure and hope on the Isle of Passion. In prose that is lush, evocative and utterly beguiling, she brings to life a bizarre, moving episode in Mexican history and its extraordinary, unforgettable heroine.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A best seller and critical success in Europe and Latin America, The House of the Spirits is the magnificent epic of the Trueba family - their loves, their ambitions, their spiritual quests, their relations with one another, and their participation in the history of their times, a history that becomes destiny and overtakes them all.  <br /><br />  We begin - at the turn of the century, in an unnamed South American country - in the childhood home of the woman who will be the mother and grandmother of the clan, Clara del Valle. A warm-hearted, hypersensitive girl, Clara has distinguished herself from an early age with her telepathic abilities - she can read fortunes, make objects move as if they had lives of their own, and predict the future. Following the mysterious death of her sister, the fabled Rosa the Beautiful, Clara has been mute for nine years, resisting all attempts to make her speak. When she breaks her silence, it is to announce that she will be married soon.  <br /><br />  Her husband-to-be is Esteban Trueba, a stern, willful man, given to fits of rage and haunted by a profound loneliness. At the age of thirty-five, he has returned to the capital from his country estate to visit his dying mother and to find a wife. (He was Rosa's fiancé, and her death has marked him as deeply as it has Clara.) This is the man Clara has foreseen - has summoned - to be her husband; Esteban, in turn, will conceive a passion for Clara that will last the rest of his long and rancorous life.  <br /><br />  We go with this couple as they move into the extravagant house he builds for her, a structure that everyone calls the big house on the corner, which is soon populated with Clara's spiritualist friends, the artists she sponsors, the charity cases she takes an interest in, with Esteban's political cronies, and, above all, with the Trueba children: Blanca, a practical, self-effacing girl who will, to the fury of her father, form a lifelong liaison with the son of his foreman, and the twins, Jaime and Nicolás, the former a solitary, taciturn boy who becomes a doctor to the poor and unfortunate; the latter a playboy, a dabbler in Eastern religions and mystical disciplines and, in the third generation, the child Alba, Blanca's daughter (the family does not recognize the real father for years, so great is Esteban's anger), a child who is fondled and indulged and instructed by them all.  <br /><br />  For all their good fortune, their natural (and supernatural) talents, and their powerful attachments to one another, the inhabitants of the big house on the corner are not immune to the larger forces of the world. And, as the twentieth century beats on, as Esteban becomes more strident in his opposition to Communism, as Jaime becomes the friend and confidant of the Socialist leader known as the Candidate, as Alba falls in love with a student radical, the Truebas become actors - and victims - in a tragic series of events that gives The House of the Spirits a deeper resonance and meaning.  <br /><br />  It is the supreme achievement of this splendid novel that we feel ourselves members of this large, passionate (and sometimes exasperating) family, that we become attached to them as if they were our own. That this is the author's first novel makes it all the more extraordinary.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From the bestselling author of Esperanza's Box of Saints comes a novel to fall in love with: an intoxicating mix of comedy and tragedy about the father-daughter bonds and the power of female friendships, where family is prison and prison becomes family.  <br /><br />  Libertad González has a story to tell, but she'll either tell it on her terms or not at all. Serving time in the loosely run Mexicali Penal Institution for Women (complete with nail salon and daycare center), she is a model prisoner, a peacemaker among the inmates and a favorite of the warden. But not even her closest friends can get her to reveal the truth about her own life and the crime she committed.  <br /><br />  In prison, Libertad inaugurates the weekly Library Club, reading aloud to the women from whichever book she finds, (The Three Musketeers, Party Planning for Dummies;) and a story emerges that has nothing to do with the words printed on the pages. Instead, she tells of her father, a former literature professor and fugitive of a murderous past, who reinvents himself as a long-haul trucker in the United States, and falls for a free-spirited woman who gives birth to his only child. When Joaquín González unexpectedly finds himself alone on the road with a baby girl, González &#038; Daughter Trucking Co. is born. He and Libertad make the cab of an 18-wheeler their home, sharing everything - adventures, books, truck-stop chow, and memories of the woman who was Libertad's mother, until one day the girl grows into a woman, and a chance encounter determines her destiny.  <br /><br />  Hilarious and heartbreaking, González &#038; Daughter Trucking Co. is a story about a woman who feels more liberated behind bars than she did on the open road.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>De la autora del bestseller Santitos llega una novela de la que hay que enamorarse: una mezcla intoxicante de comedia con tragedia sobre los lazos de padre e hija y el poder de la amistad entre mujeres, donde la familia es la prisión y la prisión se convierte en familia.  </p>
<p>  Libertad González tiene una historia que contar, pero o la narra en sus términos o no la narra. Es una prisionera modelo que purga una condena en el Penal para Mujeres de Mexicali (con salón de belleza y guardería infantil), conciliadora entre las internas y la favorita de la directora del penal. Ni sus más cercanas amistades logran que revele la verdad sobre su propia vida ni el crimen que cometió.  </p>
<p>  Libertad inaugura el Club de Lectura semanal en prisión, lee en voz alta a las mujeres cualquier libro que encuentre a la mano, (Los Tres Mosqueteros, Planeación de Fiestas para Dummies;) y emerge una historia que no tiene nada que ver con la que está impresa en las páginas. En su lugar, habla de su padre, un ex-profesor de literatura y fugitivo debido a un asesinato pasado, quien se reinventa como un trailero en los Estados Unidos y sucumbe ante una mujer de espíritu libre quien da a luz a su única hija. Cuando Joaquín González inesperadamente se encuentra solo en la carretera con su bebita, nace Transportes González e Hija. Él y Libertad hacen de su hogar la cabina del tráiler de 18 ruedas, compartiendo todo: aventuras, libros, cafeterías en el camino y recuerdos de la madre de Libertad, hasta que un día la niña crece y se convierte en mujer, y un encuentro casual determina su destino.  </p>
<p>  Transportes González e Hija es una historia tragicómica acerca de una mujer que se siente más liberada tras las rejas que cuando estaba en los caminos abiertos.</p>
