Emma Otheguy

A bilingual biography of Jos Mart , who dedicated his life to the promotion of liberty-- the abolishment of slavery, political independence for Cuba, and intellectual independence from colonialism--for all Latinos. Written in verse with excerpts from Mart 's seminal work, Versos sencillos. Una biograf a biling e de Jos Mart , quien dedic su vida a la promoci n de la libertad: la abolici n de la esclavitud, la independencia pol tica de Cuba y la independencia intelectual del colonialismo para todos los latinoamericanos. Escrita en verso con fragmentos de su obra fundamental, Versos sencillos. Yo soy un hombre sincero De donde crece la palma, Y antes de morirme quiero Echar mis versos del alma. As a boy, Jos Mart was inspired by the natural world. He found freedom in the river that rushed to the sea and peace in the palmas reales that swayed in the wind. Freedom, he believed, was the inherent right of all men and women. But his home island of Cuba was colonized by Spain, and some of the people were enslaved by rich landowners. Enraged, Mart took up his pen and fought against this oppression through his writings. By age seventeen, he was declared an enemy of Spain and forced to leave his beloved island. Mart traveled the world, speaking out for Cuba's independence. But throughout his exile, he suffered from illness and homesickness. He found solace in New York's Catskill Mountains, where nature inspired him once again to fight for independence. Written in verse, with excerpts from Mart 's seminal Versos sencillos, this book is a beautiful tribute to a brilliant political writer and courageous fighter of freedom for all men and women. De ni o, Jos Mart se inspiraba en la naturaleza. Encontraba libertad en el r o que desembocaba en el mar y paz en las palmas reales que se mec an con el viento. Cre a que la libertad era un derecho inherente a todos los hombres y mujeres. Pero su isla natal, Cuba, fue colonizada por Espa a, y algunos de sus habitantes fueron esclavizados por terratenientes adinerados. Indignado, Mart tom la pluma y luch contra esta opresi n a trav s de sus escritos. A los diecisiete a os, fue declarado enemigo de Espa a y obligado a abandonar su amada isla. Mart viaj por el mundo, alzando la voz por la independencia de Cuba. Pero durante su exilio, sufri de enfermedades y nostalgia. Encontr consuelo en las monta as Catskill de Nueva York, donde la naturaleza lo inspir una vez m s a luchar por la independencia. Escrito en verso, con fragmentos de los Versos sencillos, obra fundamental de Mart , este libro es un hermoso homenaje a un brillante escritor pol tico y un valiente luchador por la libertad de todos los hombres y mujeres.

Three cousins get transported back to 1862 to play an important role in the Battle of Puebla, the reason we celebrate Cinco de Mayo today, in this "spellbinding" (School Library Journal, starred review) middle grade fantasy adventure. History is alive with magic. That's what zany T a Xia is always telling cousins Jorge, Camila, and Siggy. Daredevil Jorge couldn't be more different than his cousins: Camila is a dreamer who adores animals and Siggy is an aspiring influencer who always has an exclusive party to attend. And their aunt has many secrets, including a mysterious diamond-encrusted sword that Jorge definitely wasn't supposed to see. But when the three stumble upon a time portal in their aunt's yard, they are transported back to 1862, a past filled with wonders--and dangers. To return to the present, they must race to deliver the sword to General Ignacio Zaragoza in time for the historic Battle of Puebla in Mexico: the foundation of the holiday Cinco de Mayo. As their journey to Mexico takes them through the Civil War-era United States, the cousins see just how much US history has been shaped by Latin communities. They must find the power within themselves to make sure things happen as they're supposed to, without altering the past.
