        Lola

        Thriller

        by Thomas Wörtche, Sven Koch, Andrea Stumpf, Melissa Scrivner Love

        South Central, L.A. Lola Vasquez ist klein, zierlich, unscheinbar, anscheinend eine chica unter vielen in der Latino-Gang The Crenshaw Six. Die Gang versucht, möglichst unauffällig zu agieren, und zu dieser Strategie in einer Mucho-macho-Welt gehört auch, dass Lola nicht sichtbar wird, denn in Wahrheit ist sie die Chefin der Gang, ebenso brillant wie rücksichtslos. Die Karten werden neu gemischt, als sie in einen Krieg zwischen einem etablierten Großdealer, einem expansionswilligen mexikanischen Kartell und einem neuen Großlieferanten gezogen wird. Auch die Polizei und die Staatsanwaltschaft mischen mit – eine Gang wie jede andere. Lolas Achillesferse ist ihre Familie, ihre Crack-Mutter und ihr nicht allzu schlauer Bruder. Als es hart auf hart kommt, muss Lola ein paar Entscheidungen fällen, die alles andere als leichtfallen …

        by Zoraida Vásquez Beveraggi

We never stop asking: Who invented the movies?, where?, when?, which was the first film? Although many books have been written to answer all these questions, we wanted to know whan happened in Mexico; so we reviewed old documents and kept asking the experts. At the end of this journey we found an answer that very few know of: The first feature film was done in Merida, Yucatan in 1916! Prize in Eur 13:00.

      • Engranaje I: La venganza es nuestra

        by Esteban Morales / Daniel Rojas Pachas

        La venganza es nuestra expone una variedad de representaciones de la realidad a través del arte gráfico. El compilado presenta humor y sátira nacional gracias al trabajo de Christiano. Su obra encarna un espíritu testimonial y coloquial de la vida en Chile a fines del siglo XX. Juan Vásquez, valiéndose únicamente del poder de la imagen genera un retrato que resalta la fuerza de las culturas precolombinas. Necrotax y Mauricio Menares hacen actualizaciones de leyendas nacionales del sur de Chile, la Pincoya, el Trauco, el Chonchón. Esteban Morales plantea una corta historia sobre el animalismo. Propuestas que se acercan a la literatura por los materiales que trabajan, leyendas y literatura latinoamericana. La obra de Claudio Rocco es una muestra del cómic strip o historieta de humor, cercana al cartoon. El arte de Iván Llanos demuestra su interpretación de una cultura del videojuego y el manga, mientras que Bastián Brauning, portadista e ilustrador expone un arte cercano al tatuaje y al graffiti con una mirada contestaria y punk.Escapando del límite de los centralismos y la mirada reduccionista de los grandes centros. Este libro constituye un punto de fuga y una invitación al lector. Proyecto Financiado por el Fondo del libro y la lectura 2021 del Ministerio de las culturas, las artes y el patrimonio de Chile.

        Envoltorios colombianos (cocina en hojas)

        Técnicas profesionales de cocina

        by Carlos Gaviria Arbeláez

        “In Colombia, the art of cooking with leaves is a legacy of our indigenous cuisine, this means that, since before the arrival of the Spaniards, the aboriginal women cook was already taking advantage of a great variety of leaves and with them, she prepared different recipes, many of them which during the colonial years were intervened by Spanish and African cooks, and thus contributed to the miscegenation and the enrichment of our current cuisine” (taken from the prologue, written by Julián Estrada Ochoa). Please get rid of the myth that cooking corn, grinding and wrapping is expensive, requires field, needs many people, or that it is Christmas. This book allows you to get a friendly approach to these preparations and that, together with the arepas, let's start cooking our dough with identity and pride.

        Geografía Gastronómica Venezolana: Edición Especial Siglo XXI

        Con recetas de 49 excelentes chefs venezolanos en la diáspora.

        by Ramón David León Author: Ramón David León; Daniel León; Editor; Julio León, Editor

        This book first came out in 1954 and it’s considered one of the pioneers in trying to paint a picture of our cuisine. The second volume boasts the other 63, and 49 remaining recipes, prepared by several Venezuelan chefs that are in exile. It wasn’t possible to write down the recipes for all biographies, since some include entries about the tabaco del guácharo, coffee, white rum, and pollo cañero (a type of toad eaten in the Orinoco Delta), among others. The new edition of Geografía gastronómica venezolana also includes a photographic journey with panoramic images from emblematic Venezuelan locations.

      • Savage Frontier Volume IV 1842-1845

        Rangers, Riflemen, and Indian Wars in Texas

        by Stephen L. Moore

        This fourth and final volume of the Savage Frontier series completes the history of the Texas Rangers and frontier warfare in the Republic of Texas era. During this period of time, fabled Captain John Coffee Hays and his small band of Rangers were often the only government-authorized frontier fighters employed to keep the peace. Author Stephen L. Moore covers the assembly of Texan forces to repel two Mexican incursions during 1842, the Vasquez and Woll invasions. This volume covers the resulting battle at Salado Creek, the defeat of Dawson’s men, and a skirmish at Hondo Creek near San Antonio. Texas Rangers also played a role in the ill-fated Somervell and Mier expeditions. By 1844, Captain Hays’ Rangers had forever changed the nature of frontier warfare with the use of the Colt five-shooter repeating pistol. This new weapon allowed his men to remain on horseback and keep up a continuous and deadly fire in the face of overwhelming odds, especially at Walker’s Creek. Through extensive use of primary military documents and first-person accounts, Moore sets the record straight on some of Jack Hays’ lesser-known Comanche encounters. “Moore’s fourth and final volume of the Savage Frontier series contains many compelling battle narratives, but there is a wealth of social as well as military history lurking in these chapters. No one who is interested in the people and the problems of the Texas Republic can afford to leave these pages unread.”—James E. Crisp, author of How Did Davy Die? And Why Do We Care So Much?
