Benny Lewis
With a book like this, with a parallel text, is that you try to read that text in Spanish first—even one paragraph. You’re not going to understand it all, but the goal isn’t to understand everything, it’s to get as much as you possibly can. [source]

10 años con Mafalda
Quino, Esteban Busquets
4.5
Created in 1964 by Quino, Mafalda appeared in various Spanish-language newspapers and weeklies until the Argentine illustrator discontinued the series in 1974. The quirky young girl became an icon throughout Latin America, similar to Charlie Brown in the United States. One could say Mafalda is a singular phenomenon, though, as she is popular both with adults and children even 20 years after the series ended. Several volumes of Mafalda cartoons have been reprinted, but this is the first one that gathers a selection of cartoons spanning the 1964?74 period.

Fluent Forever: How to Learn Any Language Fast and Never Forget It
Gabriel Wyner
4.5
The ultimate rapid language-learning guide! For those who’ve despaired of ever learning a foreign language, here, finally, is a book that will make the words stick.At thirty years old, Gabriel Wyner speaks six languages fluently. He didn’t learn them in school -- who does? -- rather, he learned them in the past few years, working on his own and practicing on the subway, using simple techniques and free online resources. In Fluent Forever Wyner reveals what he’s discovered. The greatest challenge to learning a foreign language is the challenge of memory; there are just too many words and too many rules. For every new word we learn, we seem to forget two old ones, and as a result, fluency can seem out of reach. Fluent Forever tackles this challenge head-on. With empathy for the language-challenged and abundant humor, Wyner deconstructs the learning process, revealing how to build a foreign language in your mind from the ground up.
Starting with pronunciation, you’ll learn how to rewire your ears and turn foreign sounds into familiar sounds. You'll retrain your tongue to produce those sounds accurately, using tricks from opera singers and actors. Next, you'll begin to tackle words, and connect sounds and spellings to imagery, rather than translations, which will enable you to think in a foreign language. And with the help of sophisticated spaced-repetition techniques, you'll be able to memorize hundreds of words a month in minutes every day. Soon, you'll gain the ability to learn grammar and more difficult abstract words--without the tedious drills and exercises of language classes and grammar books.
This is brain hacking at its most exciting, taking what we know about neuroscience and linguistics and using it to create the most efficient and enjoyable way to learn a foreign language in the spare minutes of your day.

El túnel
Ernesto Sabato
4.4
Breve e intensa novela publicada en 1948, este logrado fruto de la denominada "literatura existencial" le dio a su autor un reconocimiento que traspasó las fronteras nacionales. Para quien todavía no la leyó, El túnel es la mejor introducción al universo prodigioso de Ernesto Sábato; para quien la conoce, un clásico de las letras del continente, una historia sobre el drama del hombre arrojado en el sinsentido más doloroso: la conciencia de la nada. El narrador describe una historia de amor y muerte en la que muestra la soledad del individuo contemporáneo. No están ausentes de esta trama policial y de suspenso, la locura y la increíble reflexión del protagonista, el pintor Juan Pablo Castel, debatiéndose por comprender las causas que lo arrastraron a matar a la mujer que amaba, María Iribarne, y que era su única vía de salvación. En este alucinante drama de la vida interior, seres intrincados en la bestial búsqueda de comprensión ceden a la mentira, la hipocresía y los celos desmedidos hasta el crimen más inexplicable. Aventura amorosa, aventura onírica, aventura del ser que dan testimonio de un asesinato, de cierta memoria culpable y de una valiente introspección. Técnicamente perfecta y de lectura apasionante, El túnel excede el negativismo ácido de Sartre y la frenética huida hacia el vacío que plantea El extranjero de Camus, pero tiene de esos dos maestros literarios la impronta genial que hace de la escritura una radiografía del alma atormentada.

Bless Me, Ultima
Rudolfo Anaya

Antonio Marez is six years old when Ultima enters his life. She is a curandera, one who heals with herbs and magic. 'We cannot let her live her last days in loneliness,' says Antonio's mother. 'It is not the way of our people,' agrees his father. And so Ultima comes to live with Antonio's family in New Mexico. Soon Tony will journey to the threshold of manhood. Always, Ultima watches over him. She graces him with the courage to face childhood bigotry, diabolical possession, the moral collapse of his brother, and too many violent deaths. Under her wise guidance, Tony will probe the family ties that bind him, and he will find in himself the magical secrets of the pagan past—a mythic legacy equally as palpable as the Catholicism of Latin America in which he has been schooled. At each turn in his life there is Ultima who will nurture the birth of his soul.

Breaking Out of Beginner's Spanish
Joseph J. Keenan
4.4
Many language books are boring--this one is not. Written by a native English speaker who learned Spanish the hard way--by trying to talk to Spanish-speaking people--it offers English speakers with a basic knowledge of Spanish hundreds of tips for using the language more fluently and colloquially, with fewer obvious "gringo" errors.
Writing with humor, common sense, and a minimum of jargon, Joseph Keenan covers everything from pronunciation, verb usage, and common grammatical mistakes to the subtleties of addressing other people, "trickster" words that look alike in both languages, inadvertent obscenities, and intentional swearing. He guides readers through the set phrases and idiomatic expressions that pepper the native speaker's conversation and provides a valuable introduction to the most widely used Spanish slang.
With this book, both students in school and adult learners who never want to see another classroom can rapidly improve their speaking ability. Breaking Out of Beginner's Spanish will be an essential aid in passing the supreme language test-communicating fluently with native speakers.

Este libro es el regreso a las historias reales de la posguerra, que contaron en voz baja narradores que no querian contar cuentos sino hablar de sus amigos, de sus familiares desaparecidos, de ausencias irreparables. Son historias de los tiempos del silencio, cuando daba miedo que alguien supiera que sabias. Cuatro historias, sutilmente engarzadas entre si, contadas desde el mismo lenguaje pero con los estilos propios de narradores distintos que van perfilando la verdadera protagonista de esta narracion: la derrota. Todo lo que se narra aqui es verdad, pero nada de lo que se cuenta es cierto, porque la certidumbre necesita aquiescencia y la aquiescencia necesita estadisticas.

Accelerated Spanish: Learn Fluent Spanish with a Proven Accelerated Learning System
Timothy Moser
4.2
If you're like the majority of US high school graduates, you've (1) studied Spanish at some point and (2) already forgotten most of it.
It's time for a new language-learning method: One that teaches Spanish the way native speakers talk, using advanced mnemonic techniques you won't be able to forget.
Accelerated Spanish is the proven method that has trained hundreds of students, bringing dozens to fluency in a very short period of time.
This three-volume system has the potential to make you fully fluent in Spanish.
Volume One teaches you to think like a native Spanish speaker and gives you the vocabulary that makes up 50% of the Spanish language. Volume Two builds on that foundation, giving you 80% of the vocabulary, and it allows you to converse comfortably on a variety of subjects. Volume Three enables you to reach practical fluency in Spanish, enough to have an intelligent conversation with a native speaker on nearly any subject. As you find yourself engulfed in an imaginary world with a yellow sky, demented shopkeepers, and clumsy stuffed pandas, your mind and senses will be challenged at every moment. From the very first chapter, you will begin to understand why truly getting into the mindset of another language requires your mind to experience a new world.
Timothy Moser is an accelerated learning expert and Spanish coach. In 2014 he founded Master of Memory, a leading online accelerated learning center. Timothy hosts 3 top-ranked podcasts, including Accelerated Spanish, where he applies advanced learning techniques to languages, inspiring and empowering listeners to learn Spanish and achieve fluency in a language for free. His course, Accelerated Spanish, is the only online Spanish coaching program that guarantees Spanish fluency.

The Spirit of Tío Fernando: A Day of the Dead Story/El espíritu de tío Fernando: Una historia del Día de los Muertos
Janice Levy, Morella Fuenmayor, Teresa Mlawer
4.2
"Wake up!"my mother calls. "It's the Day of the Dead! We're going to honor your tío Fernando."
As I help get the altar ready, my mother tells me that later, at the cemetery, we will meet with my uncle Fernando's spirit. At the market, I buy special things for Tío's grave. I watch the musicians and the actors singing songs of life and death. And all day I wonder: How will I meet Tío's spirit? How will I know it is really him?
--¡Despiértate! --me dice mi mamá--. ¡Hoy es el Día de los Muertos! Vamos a honrar la memoria de tu tío Fernando.
Mientras ayudo a mi mamá a preparar el altar, ella me dice que más tarde, en el dementerio, nos reuniremos con el espíritu de mi tío. Compro en el mercado algunas de las cosas que a mi tío más le gustaban, para llevárselas a la tumba. Veo cómo los músicos y los acotres cantan canciones sobre la vida y la muerte. Y durante todo el día me pregunto cómo podré encontrar el espíritu de mi tío y cómo podré saber que realmente es él.

A lovingly created blend of essential Mexican recipes, magical illustrations and a family’s story. My Abuela’s Table is as much a work of art as it is a book of trusted heirloom Mexican recipes. More than seventy recipes plus variations have been passed down from Daniella’s abuela (her grandmother) in Mexico, transcribed and translated by Daniella’s mother into English, and then brought to life by Daniella in this delightfully illustrated book of essential Mexican home cooking. Popular dishes and favorites such as tacos, churros, empanadas, guacamole and huevos rancheros sit alongside less known delights such as Pulpos en Vino (Octopus in Wine), Chilies en Nogada (Stuffed Chilies), Pollo en Salsa de Almendras (Chicken in Almond Sauce) and Buneulos de Harina (Pastries in Syrup). The range of recipes is diverse and includes tortilla dough and sauce staples through to salads, dips, meat and seafood dishes, sweets, traditional festive fare, and even cocktails. Daniella’s gorgeous illustrations are essential to the book in the form of step-by-step instructions including how to correctly fold, tie, and steam tamale or use a tortilla press. They also provide a delightfully whimsical feel with asides such as the chicken that "highly recommend[s] the bean enchiladas." Practical as well as beautiful, careful explanations of equipment and utensils, Mexican herbs and spices, and even types of chilies and their characteristics are included.

Before and after the main section of the book, we shall provide you with an introduction and conclusion that will offer you important strategies, tips and tricks to allow you to get the absolute most out of this learning material.

Why Noah Chose the Dove
Isaac Bashevis Singer, Eric Carle, Elizabeth Shub
4.1
"Singer's retelling from the Old Testament gives a new dimension to the story of the Flood. Children will enjoy hearing the different animals praise their own special qualities so that each will be assured a place on Noah's Ark. Of course, all are taken on board, but because the dove is the only one that did not boast, Noah makes the bird his messenger. Commenting that there are more doves in the world today than there are ferocious beasts, Singers says, "The dove lives happily without fighting. It is the bird of peace." Eric Carle's brightly colored collages make this an inviting addition to collections." -School Libaray Journal
"Eric Carle, who has a special way with animals, contributes sumptuous pictures to a book which is not to be missed." -Publishers Weekly
"This great storyteller has put a new and mildly moral twist on the story of Noah's Ark...and Eric Carle does not disappoint. His cut-out portraits of the animals are colorful and vigorous, and, combined with his paintings, varied and provocative. This is good stuff for hungry little eyes." -The Boston Globe

El alquimista impaciente (Bevilacqua y Chamorro, #2)
Lorenzo Silva
4.1
En un motel cerca de Guadalajara yace un hombre muerto en una postura poco honrosa. ¿Asesinato de estudiada crueldad o muerte natural tras la pasión de un encuentro amoroso? En ambos casos, se trata de un destino incomprensible para el ingeniero Trinidad Soler, respetable hombre de familia empleado en una central nuclear cercana. Pero las apariencias engañan, y alguien recuerda haberlo visto la noche anterior acompañado de una rubia de marcado acento ruso. El sargento de la Guardia Civil Rubén Bevilacqua, psicólogo renegado, y su ayudante Virginia Chamorro, mujer reservada y perspicaz, aficionada a la astronomía, deberán resolver este caso donde la primera incógnita por desentrañar es la víctima. La investigación del caso pronto les llevará a rebasar la mera pesquisa policial para adentrarse en el lado oscuro del ingeniero nuclear. Su insospechada vida secreta desvelará un entramado de dinero, prostitución y sucios manejos empresariales que se extienden de Madrid a Málaga, de Guadalajara a la Costa del Sol. Pero como en la alquimia, la clave está en la paciencia: la que necesitarán los investigadores para resolver el caso, pero también la que les faltó a los personajes involucrados en la historia.

La aparición de una mujer apuñalada en un pueblo de Zaragoza podría ser un trabajo más para el sargento Bevilacqua y la cabo Chamorro, pero éste es un caso fuera de lo común; la víctima es Neus Barutell, una célebre periodista casada con un consagrado escritor catalán, lo que atrae a la prensa más sensacionalista y somete a los investigadores de la Guardia Civil a una dosis suplementaria de presión. En estas peculiares circunstancias, Bevilacqua y su compañera deberán remover con sigilo las entrañas de una vida pública más allá de las apariencias y sumergirse en las flaquezas e inseguridades que se escondían tras la imagen solvente e impecable de la víctima. También será necesario rastrear con detalle sus últimos trabajos periodísticos. Las pesquisas llevan a nuestros protagonistas a Barcelona y las primeras pistas apuntan a un crimen pasional en un mundo de vanidades, lleno de tapujos y secretos y con ramificaciones hasta los sórdidos bajos fondos de la ciudad.

Don Juan Tenorio
José Zorrilla
4.0
Don Juan Tenorio, el drama romántico por excelencia, es una de las pocas obras que han tenido y siguen teniendo una vida auténticamente popular. Difícil seria encontrar un espanol que no sepa recitar de memoria alguno de sus versos. El drama, que repite el viejo tema de Don Juan, ha adquirido una eficacia literaria inusitada en la mezcla de temas de capa y espada con los religiosos y morales. Esta edición se basa en la francesa que Zorrilla dio como definitiva cotejada con el manuscrito autógrafo conservado en la Real Academia Española.

Learning Spanish Words Through Etymology and Mnemonics
Yong Huang
4.0
Learning Spanish Words through Etymology and Mnemonics makes use of etymology to help you remember Spanish words and, failing that, suggests a mnemonic. Combination of these two approaches in one book separates it from other books on the market. The amount and depth of etymology is carefully chosen to be practical and not overwhelm an average reader. The suggested mnemonics aim to help an educated English-speaking person. An adult or young adult who likes learning vocabulary with some word analysis instead of rote memory will find this book to be helpful and a joy to read. With about 3000 words selected from 15000 in the Real Academia EspaNola corpus sorted in frequency order, this booklet can be used either as a dictionary or for leisure reading. The hint provided for each word is particularly helpful for short-term memory needed in taking an exam, while the etymological and cultural information will serve you for years to come.

"Yong Huang offers in the introduction a clear and detailed explanation of the methodology employed throughout the work, which presents a practical balance between scholarly research and light reading... Yong's work is an important addition to the field of language study, and will be a welcome supplement to anyone's vocabulary-building tools." - Edward A. Roberts, Professor Emeritus of Central Michigan University, author of A Comprehensive Etymological Dictionary of the Spanish Language
"(Yong Huang's book) filled a niche on my language-learning bookshelf I hadn't even thought of before... the system works as an efficient road map to boosting vocabulary by steering readers directly to the most effective words for building understanding and fluency fast, while pointing out shortcuts and possible pitfalls along the way. It's especially useful for well-read adults and polyglots." - Miranda Metheny, Spanish Teacher at District of Columbia Public Schools, polyglot, volunteer admin of Facebook Polyglots group
