“Life is a wheel and humanity has been through countless cycles of ups and downs. The things that seem so dire now won't be this dire forever. Eventually, there is an upswing. I always needed that reminder, and it made me think that my young readers need that reminder as well.” - Yamile Saied MendezWith a storytelling style that radiates warmth and resilience, Yamile Saed Méndez's work reflects the cycles of life's challenges and triumphs. Born in Rosario, Argentina, in the midst and then long shadow of the Dictatorship years, she learned early on the power of hope and the enduring strength of the human spirit. From mastering a second language to embracing life in a new country, Yamile's journey is one of transformation and connection to her roots. Yamile is a bestselling author whose work spans children's, young adult, and adult fiction. Her novel “Furia”–a 2021 Pura Belpré winner and a Reese's YA Book Club selection–earned her widespread recognition for its powerful storytelling and cultural resonance. Her other books include “Shaking Up the House,” “On These Magic Shores,” “The Beautiful Game,” “Where Are You From?” and “What the Moon Saw.” With accolades such as the Cybils Award and the Américas Award, Yamile has established herself as a beloved voice in contemporary literature.In this episode, Yamile reflects on the pivotal transitions that have shaped her life and work. She reflects on her experience as the eldest sister in a family facing constant scarcity of resources and on how her school life impacted her perspective on a young woman's potential. Yamile shares how storytelling has grounded her through moments of turbulence and highlights how resilience has inspired the protagonists in her books. ***Yamile's reading challenge, Indomitable Characters, celebrates protagonists who embody resilience and remind us all of the inevitable upswing in life's wheel.Learn more and download Yamile's recommended reading list at thereadingculturepod.com/yamile-saied-mendez***This episode's Beanstack Featured Librarian is, once again, Billy Allen, the Branch Manager of Whitney Library in Las Vegas's Clarke County Library District, aka 3KingVisions, on YouTube.

'Olga's choice' is inmiddels een begrip bij Van der Meulen's boekhandel te Alkmaar. Samen met haar neef Arjan leidt Olga de Boer het familiebedrijf dat inmiddels al meer dan 100 jaar bestaat. 'We hebben twee leesclubs: één voor 'Young adult' lezers en één voor volwassenen', zegt Olga. Vooral de verkoop van Young adult boeken neemt de laatste jaren een hoge vlucht. Arjan: 'Gewoon op doordeweekse dagen staan er opeens groepen jongeren voor die kasten. En sommigen kopen niet één boek, maar die nemen stapels mee!' Olga vertelt ook over de nieuwste trend in dat genre (spicey ;-) In editie #77 van Vakwerk vertellen Arjan en Olga nog veel meer over de boekhandel, hoe het boekenvak is veranderd, over hun eigen boekvoorkeuren en, welke muziek hen iets doet. Tot slot kondigen zij een nieuwtje aan...

Today I sat down with Éric Chacour, a Canadian novelist born to Egyptian parents, to discuss his stunning debut novel. What I Know About You has captivated readers in its original French, winning the prestigious Prix Femina des Lycéens, and been translated into numerous languages, and with Pablo Strauss' 2024 translation, now makes its grand entrance into the English-speaking world. Eric's novel, which he spent 10 years working on before it was published in 2023, is a richly woven tapestry of family, love, loss, and the queer identity. Set against the backdrop of a changing Egypt, the story shines a light on the tension between personal desires and cultural expectations, offering readers a nuanced look at what it means to belong in different settings. In this episode, as always, Eric has selected for us the four books which have most strongly influenced his life and literary journey – from tales of mysterious libraries to the adventures of dashing heroes. But, we also spend some time getting to grips with Eric's creative process, the inspirations behind his storytelling, and what it means to write a novel that crosses both geographical and emotional borders. I was so interested to learn about his path to becoming a novelist, from youthful inspiration to the sometimes challenging reality of life as a published author, and how Canadian national treasure Celine Dion fits into the picture. This was a great chat, and I've definitely come away from it with my mind expanded.  Lit with Charles loves reviews. If you enjoyed this episode, I'd be so grateful if you could leave a review of your own, and follow me on Instagram at @litwithcharles. Let's get more people listening – and reading! Eric Chacour's four books were: The Shadow of the Wind, Carlos Ruiz Zafón (2001) The Three Musketeers, Alexandre Dumas (1844) Promise at Dawn, Romain Gary (1960) The Orphan Muses, Michel Marc Bouchard (1989)

Heidi Backes joins Alan to discuss the haunted houses, silent spaces and traumatic memories often seen in post-Franco gothic fiction, such as in Carlos Ruiz Zafón's international bestseller The Shadow of the Wind.' Her new book Spectral Spain looks at how Gothic literature has become a leading genre in contemporary Spain - one capable of confronting the traumatic memories of the country's past. If you enjoy what we produce then please give us a review on your preferred podcast platform and consider donating to our buy me a coffee fund to help the podcast be more sustainable. https://www.buymeacoffee.com/thesobremey Books mentioned in the episode: Adelaida García Morales: "Aunt Águeda" ("La tía Águeda") and "Elisa's Secret" ("El secreto de Elisa") Julio Llamazares: "The Yellow Rain" ("La lluvia amarilla") Ana María Matute: "Uninhabited Paradise" ("Paraíso inhabitado") Carlos Ruiz Zafón: "Prisoner of Heaven" ("El prisionero del cielo") More about her book here Heidi Backes examines haunting as the perfect motif for Spanish authors to portray the tension between modernity and the imposition of a nationalized tradition throughout the twentieth century—noting not just the trauma of the civil war and the resulting dictatorship of Franco, but also the continuing and widespread disenchantment during and after the transition. It is a study of multiple manifestations of individual and collective trauma in texts written after the transition, which will assist readers' understanding of the relationships between Gothic fear, trauma, and spectrality.

Claro, aqui está um resumo narrativo adaptado de "A Biblioteca da Meia-Noite" de Carlos Ruiz Zafón, para ser narrado em 3 minutos: "A Biblioteca da Meia-Noite" é um romance de Carlos Ruiz Zafón que nos transporta para o início do século XX, na cidade de Barcelona. A história gira em torno de David Martín, um escritor talentoso que luta por reconhecimento em sua carreira. David Martín é contratado por um editor misterioso chamado Andreas Corelli, que promete fama e sucesso. À medida que David se aprofunda em suas tarefas, descobre segredos sombrios que envolvem a editora e sua própria vida. A trama se desenrola em torno da "Biblioteca da Meia-Noite", uma coleção proibida de livros raros escritos por Julian Carax, um autor obscuro. David Martín fica obcecado pela obra de Carax e inicia uma investigação sobre sua vida, desvendando um enigma de amor, traição e tragédia. Ao longo da história, David encontra personagens que desempenham papéis cruciais em sua jornada. Isabella, sua governanta, torna-se sua amiga e confidente. Pedro Vidal é um autor rival que cria tensão literária. Cristina Sagnier é uma mulher misteriosa com quem David se envolve romanticamente. A história de Julian Carax, o autor misterioso, é central na trama. À medida que David investiga a vida de Carax, descobre paralelos surpreendentes entre suas experiências e as do autor do passado. O enigma de Andreas Corelli, o editor enigmático, também se desenrola à medida que suas maquinações sombrias são reveladas. "A Biblioteca da Meia-Noite" é repleta de reviravoltas e segredos surpreendentes, enquanto David Martín desvenda os mistérios da vida de Carax e da Biblioteca da Meia-Noite. Temas como a busca pelo significado da vida, a paixão pela literatura e a luta entre o bem e o mal são explorados ao longo da narrativa. Esta obra-prima de Carlos Ruiz Zafón cativa os leitores com sua complexidade, mistério e profundidade. É uma história que celebra a literatura e a busca eterna pelo sentido da vida, enquanto revela mistérios profundos e sombrios que permanecem na memória muito tempo depois de terminar a leitura. É uma viagem emocionante que mergulha nas profundezas da mente humana e do poder da paixão e da literatura.

In podcast episode 154, we're diving into the world of book cover design with Karen Horton, graphic designer and former Art Director at Henry Holt. Karen takes us behind the scenes of the process of book cover design, who makes key book cover related decisions, and the role of marketing budgets and author's reputation in this process. Plus, Karen shares her book recommendations! This post contains affiliate links through which I make a small commission when you make a purchase (at no cost to you!).

The dynamics of deciding which books a designer works on. Freelance vs In-house: Factors that determine who gets to design the top titles. The lesser-known “silent auction” approach some publishers adopt. Whether book cover designers really read the whole book. Who holds the final decision about a book cover. The author's role in the decision-making process and the factors that impact how that can play out. How marketing budgets and an author's reputation influence design choices. The influence of ongoing design trends and when publishers decide to break away from them.

There is a time to pause and a time to act. We explored this distinction in last month's Haven Theme Kota. In this episode of The Gentle Rebel Podcast, I share some of the ideas that came out of our conversation. "Books are mirrors: You only see in them what you already have inside you." Carlos Ruiz Zafón, The Shadow of the Wind I recently chatted with my friend, Adam Kawalek about what it means to "coach for insight". As coaches, we are committed to the principle that insights, revelations, and answers don't come from the outside-in. They aren't imparted by the coach. They are brought to life from the inside-out. And the coach's questions, reflections, and invitations assist this process. Coaching For Insight Inspiration is like a candle inside us, waiting to be rekindled. An "aha!" moment, doesn't happen when something completely new arrives. It's when something outside us strikes the match that catches the wick within, which then illuminates the torch that casts its light on the environment around it. I love that as a description of coaching. We play with matches (not something I normally advocate), and see what it ready to catch a spark inside us. Expectation vs Expectancy There is a difference between expectation and expectancy. Expectation is a weight that can stop us from seeing things as they really are. Expectancy is a nerve-tickling buzz. A helium spirit. It is ready to flow through the contours of this landscape without judgement. It is flexible, adaptable, and prepared to make something memorable out of something undesirable. The pause of expectancy allows us to receive what is there. The push of expectation is an entitled demand to repeat what is no longer necessarily there. It burdens the present with judgement and comparison based on a story from the past. Making Inspired Decisions Where do you feel insights in your body? Our bodies tell us a lot about intuitive responses to ideas, people, and environments. We don't think twice about using terms like "gut feelings", "broken heart", "sinking feeling", "butterflies in the stomach", and "jelly legs". These describe physical responses to something going on around us. The body might say yes or no but the mind rationalises its way to another decision. In our Kota conversation, we talked about learning to hear what the body is saying so that we can make more informed choices and inspired decisions. Under-thinking and Overthinking Under-thinking can occur when we only listen to the body and don't pause to ask whether the uncomfortable sensation is part of doing something important to us. For example, feeling nervous before a performance. If I under-think the situation, I might follow the urge to remove myself from it, which in turn stops me from accessing its meaningful rewards. Overthinking happens when we get ahead of ourselves and worry about things beyond our control. Fear of failure/success, logistical anxieties, and catastrophising everything that could go wrong - however unlikely - can turn an exciting opportunity into a pressurised ball of dread. It's important to maintain an open line of communication between these thoughts and feelings. Connecting with the small glimmers of joy, holding lightly, and reminding ourselves that this feeling will pass. I feel this strongly because it is important. It will not break or make me. I feel creatively energised and alive. It is a chance to play, connect, and do something I love. And if all else fails, we might anticipate the beautiful feeling that is awaiting us when it's over. The out-breath of relief. Where do you feel insight? Is there a difference between toward and away from insight feelings in your physical body? When something is an invitation toward a desirable place, where do you feel it? Shoulders? Stomach? Lungs? Legs? I get it in my belly. How would you describe that feeling? Flutter, leaping, twirling,

"Waiting is the rust of the soul." - Carlos Ruiz Zafón "Waiting is the art of hoping." - Luc de Clapiers Jairus, in this passage, is in a desperate hurry - He's trying to get Jesus to his dying 12 year old daughter.  The crowd was making the going slow & then precious minutes were lost in a strange healing of a woman with a 12 year old disease.  Today we learn some of God's purposes in waiting.  There are many and Jairus would learn many of them on this journey of Faith over Fear.

Esta es una muestra de "La ciudad y la ciudad". La versión completa tiene una duración total de 12 h 21 min. Encuentra este audiolibro completo en https://penguinaud.io/3UKFsMTNarrado por: Francesc BeldaOriginalmente publicada en 2009, La ciudad y la ciudad es la obra maestra que ha convertido a China Miéville en una de las mayores voces de las letras anglosajonas actuales en cualquier género, admirado por escritores de la talla de Carlos Ruiz Zafón, Neil Gaiman y Ursula K. Le Guin. Bienvenidos a la historia de dos ciudades gemelas, invisibles la una para la otra, cuyos destinos se entrelazan por el asesinato de la joven Mahalia Geary, hallada muerta y con la cara desfigurada en la ciudad de Beszel. Durante la investigación del crimen, el inspector Borlú seguirá las piras desde Beszel hasta la idéntica ciudad vecina, UI Qoma. Allí descubrirá la participación de la joven en una conspiración política y se verá rodeado de nacionalistas, que intentan destruir la ciudad gemela, y de unificacionistas, que sueñan con convertir las dos ciudades en una. Las verdades que el detective descubrirá sobre la separación de ambas urbes podrían constarle la vida.China Miéville mezcla lo mejor de la ciencia ficción, la novela negra y el drama policial en una obra que rompe las costuras de tres géneros para convertirse en una obra de lectura absolutamente inolvidable. La crítica ha dicho...«Miéville no pertenece a la familia de los ingenieros de la ciencia ficción, sino a la de sus poetas.»Babelia «Ficción para el nuevo siglo.»Neil Gaiman «Si Philip K. Dick y Raymond Chandler tuvieran un hijo criado por Franz Kafka, escribiría algo parecido a La ciudad y la ciudad .»Los Angeles Times© 2023, Penguin Random House Grupo Editorial, S. A.

Spanien ist Gastland an der diesjährigen Frankfurter Buchmesse (19.–23. Oktober). Mehr als Grund genug, die spanische Literatur unter die Lupe zu nehmen. Was macht sie aus? Woher kommt sie? Wo steht sie heute? Und was ist ihr Stellenwert im Land selbst? Geht es um spanische Literatur, gibt es wohl kaum eine bessere Auskunftsgeberin als Michi Strausfeld. Die heute 77-jährige Hispanistin verantwortete von 1974 bis 2015 erst bei Suhrkamp und dann bei S. Fischer das spanisch- und portugiesischsprachige Programm. Sie landete zum Beispiel mit den Romanen der Chilenin Isabel Allende Millionenerfolge und machte die Bücher der Spanier Eduardo Mendoza und Carlos Ruiz Zafón zu Bestsellern. In unzähligen Anthologien, zuletzt einer über die Literatur Barcelonas, vermittelte sie den literarischen Reichtum der spanisch- und portugiesischsprachigen Welt. Mit Michi Strausfeld spricht Franziska Hirsbrunner. Buchhinweis: Michi Strausfeld. Barcelona. Eine literarische Einladung. 199 Seiten. Wagenbach, 2022

Con personaggi che convincono il lettore a seguirli fino alla fine." Gazzetta di ParmaLa vita serena di Patrick Bird, filosofico e ironico traduttore americano che vive a Parma tra piccoli lavori e amori deludenti, si trasformerà - dal momento in cui accetta un lavoro commissionato dalla bella e aristocratica Ombretta Blanc - in uno strano incubo: un travolgente mix di terrore, perversione e malvagità. Da modesto traduttore di testi enigmatici scritti da un ragazzo scomparso nel nulla, Patrick, in un crescendo di tensione, rischierà di diventare la vittima designata.

Si recuerdas, llevo dos episodios hablando del tiempo, y no precisamente del tiempo atmosférico, aunque debo decir que está empezando a apretar el calor. Me refiero a la gestión del tiempo…de reloj. En la parte 2 hablé: #4. De darte un premio para motivarte. #5. De crear una rutina usando asociaciones. #6 Y de llevar un control del tiempo que usas para escuchar. ¡Vamos a ver tres más! #7 Busca situaciones con pocas distracciones Si de una cosa soy culpable es de pasar demasiado tiempo en internet. Por ejemplo, ojeando noticias, navegando, leyendo cosas en las redes sociales y viendo videos de gatitos. Bueno, tengo la mala excusa que lo hago para inspirarme para hacer nuevos episodios del podcast. Como digo, una mala excusa :) Lo ideal es estar en una situación con pocas distracciones, pero a veces, eso es difícil, porque siempre llevamos el teléfono móvil con nosotros. En mi caso he encontrado una buena solución: caminar. Al moverte se hace incómodo mirar el móvil. Así que es una buena opción para poder escuchar algo sin distraerse. Simplemente, te dejas llevar mientras escuchas tus lecciones de español. Además, cuando te mueves llega más sangre a tu cerebro, y permanece más activo. Así que te recomiendo que encuentres una actividad o una situación donde el nivel de distracción es bajo para que puedas pasar más tiempo escuchando. Quizás puedas hacer largas caminatas mientras escuchas las lecciones. Vamos a ver el siguiente: #8 Prueba el reto de 1 minuto. Te voy a contar un secreto. Muchas veces no hago cosas porque pienso que me van a llevar demasiado tiempo. Es algo que tengo que mejorar. Por ejemplo, últimamente estoy leyendo a ratos. Es decir, cuando tengo algo de tiempo libre. Ahora mismo estoy leyendo un libro de Carlos Ruiz Zafón llamado “El Laberinto de los Espíritus”. Es el último libro de la famosa serie de cuatro libros de la Sombra del Viento. Te los recomiendo. Hace poco estuve esperando a un amigo en una cafetería. Sabía que podía llegar en cualquier momento. Así que pensé “no vale la pena empezar a leer. Vendrá en cualquier momento”. A pesar de que llevaba mi Kindle, no leí nada y me dediqué a echar un vistazo a las redes sociales. Mi amigo llegó unos 10 minutos tarde. Si hubiera empezado a leer, hubiera leído algunas páginas. Así que te propongo lo siguiente. Si te pasa como a mí, prueba de escuchar algún contenido en español solo un minuto. Únicamente tienes que escuchar durante 60 segundos. Luego puedes parar si quieres. La idea es intentar romper la barrera mental de empezar. Parece ser que psicológicamente es más costoso decidir y empezar a hacer algo que hacerlo. Es curioso. Pruébalo y me cuentas. #9 Cambia la mentalidad de sprint a maratón Por último, es vital comprender que aprender español, incluso con las mejores técnicas y materiales, requiere de cierto tiempo. Por tanto, hemos de cambiar la mentalidad de sprint, que sugiere mucho esfuerzo e intensidad, a algo más calmado y sostenido: una maratón. Se trata de encontrar el ritmo adecuado que nos permita continuar durante muchas semanas. No se trata de correr mucho al principio para estar exhaustos al poco tiempo sino al revés. Empezar tranquilo y encontrar el ritmo y las rutinas adecuadas. Los resultados vendrán, pero tu cerebro necesita cierto tiempo para asimilar lo que aprendes. Si tienes esta mentalidad más de maratón, seguramente encuentres un poco de tiempo cada día pensando que poco a poco vas a aprender, y que no necesitas sacrificar mucho tiempo de otras actividades. Bueno, espero haberte ayudado con estas reflexiones, y por supuesto, también con el español. Consigue el texto en mi web: https://unlimitedspanish.com/podcasts/

Bienvenidos y bievenidas a una nueva reseña, como siempre sin spoilers, en Librorum podcast.

Y era el que usaba Manuel Vázquez Montalbán para escribir sobre multitud de asuntos en 30 novelas y 18 relatos. Este año se cumplen 50 de la publicación de "Yo maté a Kennedy" la primera de las novelas en las que sale el detective Pepe Carvalho, desencantado, irónico, gastrónomo y lector. Le recordamos con Maruja Torres, Pau Arenós y Carlos Ruiz Zafón y charlamos con Miqui Otero, prologuista de la nueva edición de aquella novela, y con el escritor Daniel Vázquez Sallés, hijo Vázquez Montalbán.

En la entrevista de hoy tenemos a Pablo García, entrenador de tenis de competición en una escuela ubicada en China. A pesar de la distancia, esto no ha supuesto una barrera y está creando un patrimonio inmobiliario en España mientras reside en China. Durante la entrevista, hablamos de muchos temas como los problemas de gestionar sus alquileres desde la distancia, la fiscalidad para no residentes o cómo funciona la financiación para este colectivo de inversores. También nos cuenta muchas anécdotas y las desventajas (y cómo las supera) de invertir desde tan lejos. ✅ INFORMACIÓN IMPORTANTE PARA TÍ:

For me some of the most satisfying episodes we do are when we talk to book lovers from other countries. What is it like to be a book lover from far-reaching places around the world? In the past we have talked to readers and writers from Ireland, Somalia, Germany, and Saudi Arabia. This week, we are headed to Croatia to speak with Ivana Murk who gives us a window into her life as a child growing up, learning to read both the Cyrillic alphabet which Slavic languages are based on and the Latin alphabet. She learned English in school starting in 3rd grade and now she now reads books in both Croatian and English. We talk with her about Croatian authors who you might want to find translations for if possible, why the skill of a book translator is so important, and what authors you have probably heard of who are particularly popular in her country. We feel it would be helpful to give you just a brief little summary of Croatian history in the last 50 years that is most relevant to this episode. Croatia was a part of the former Yugoslavia, which also included Serbia, Bosnia, Hercegovina, Slovenia, Macedonia, and Montenegro. In 1991, Croatia declared independence from Yugoslavia. This did not happen peacefully. This was followed by the Bosnia War from 1992-1995 which pitted Croatians, Bosnians, and Serbians against each other and has been called the bloodiest event in Europe since World War II. Geographically, Croatia is very close to Italy to the West by way of the Adriatric Sea, Austria and Hungary to the north, and Bosnia to the West.
