Book Description
XI Premio Alfaguara de Novela Espiridiona Cenda, una joven cubana de sólo veintiséis pulgadas de estatura, llega a la Nueva York de fines del siglo XIX con el deseo de triunfar como bailarina y cantante. Esta biografía imaginaria de un personaje real recrea con libertad y una fabulación ilimitada las aventuras y desventuras de Chiquita, una mujer seductora e independiente que llegó a convertirse en una de las celebridades mejor pagadas de los teatros de vaudeville y las ferias de su tiempo. Elegante, humorística y llena de peripecias, la novela es un ambicioso fresco de una época pródiga en transformaciones sociales y milagros tecnológicos, en que las potencias se disputaban territorios, las cofradías secretas no habían perdido la esperanza de convertir el mundo en una gran Arcadia y las «curiosidades humanas» ejercían una extraña atracción sobre las multitudes. Protagonista de amores tempestuosos, dueña de un talismán mágico y testigo de intrigas diplomáticas, la liliputiense Chiquita vuelve a la vida en estas páginas, con todo su genio, su crueldad y su encanto, convertida en un personaje literario inolvidable. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Twenty-six-inch tall Espiridiona Cenda disembarks in late 19th Century New York with one goal in mind—becoming the city's most successful singer and dancer with her stage name, "Chiquita: The Living Doll". This imaginary biography of the real-life woman recreates the adventures and misfortunes of Chiquita, an alluring and independent woman that lived to become one of the highest paid celebrities in the Vaudeville theatres and fairs of her day. The star of fiery romances, owner of a magic talisman, and witness to countless political intrigues, Chiquita comes to life in these pages as an unforgettable literary character—in all her glory, genius, cruelty and charm. Elegant, humorous, and brimming with adventures, the novel is an ambitious fresco of a period that abounded in social transformations and technological miracles, where the mightiest of countries fought for territories, where underground brotherhoods diligently worked to turn the world in to a great Arcadia, and where "human curiosities" exerted a strange fascination among the crowds.

Chico, George, the Birds, and Me
Author: Dorothy Chapman Saunders
Publisher: Texas A&M University Press
ISBN: 1603440615
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 243
Book Description
"When a mysterious manila envelope reached the hands of Henry "Milt" Reeves, no one could have anticipated the story that waited inside. Enclosed he found a manuscript - a typewritten carbon copy on onion-skin paper - written half a century earlier and yellowed with age. Each fragile page unfolded the first-person description of a trip Dorothy Chapman Saunders had taken to Mexico in 1948 and 1949 with her husband and seasoned ornithologist, George, to conduct field surveys of waterfowl and white-winged doves for the U.S. government." "Chico, George, the Birds, and Me presents Saunders's near-daily personal account of this five-month-long ornithological expedition and provides a glimpse into the dynamic life of a frontier biologist making her mark in a man's world." "Saunders adeptly describes the birds they saw and the survey work they did. She also charts the other details of their journey as they traveled south from Reynosa to Mexico City, then to Acapulco and Oaxaca, east to Veracruz, north to Tamaulipas and, finally, back to McAllen, Texas, Slowly chugging along in the under-powered jeep they affectionately dubbed "Chico," they explored lakes, lagoons, and volcanoes, Aztec ruins, markets, churches, and even old burro trails."--BOOK JACKET.
