Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Escobar, Paola (illustrator). Hardcover. In the city of Bogata, in the barrio of La Nueva Gloria, there live two Joses. One is a boy who dreams of Saturdays-- that's the day he gets to visit Paradise, the library. The second Jose is a garbage collector. From dusk until dawn, he scans the sidewalks as he drives, squinting in the dim light, searching household trash for hidden treasure . . . books! Some are stacked in neat piles, as if waiting for Jose. Others take a bit more digging. Ever since he found his first book, Anna Karenina, years earlier, he's been collecting books--thick ones and thin ones, worn ones and almost new ones-- to add to the collection in his home. And on Saturdays, kids like little Jose run to the steps of Paradise to discover a world filled with books and wonder.With an evocative text by a debut author, and rich, stunning illustrations from an up-and-coming Colombian illustrator, here is a celebration of perseverance, community, and the power of books.Un esplendido e inspirador album ilustrado acerca de la vida de Jose Alberto Gutierrez,un recolector de basura de Bogota, Colombia, que cre una biblioteca a partir de un libro que rescat de la basura mientras realizaba su ruta.En la ciudad de Bogota, en el barrio La Nueva Gloria, viven dos Joses. Uno es un nino que suena con los sabados, dia en que el y otros ninos del barrio visitan el Paraiso, la biblioteca. El otro Jose es un recolector de basura. Desde el atardecer hasta el amanecer, escudrina las aceras de las calles por donde conduce entornando los ojos bajo la tenue luz en busca de tesoros escondidos. Libros! Algunos en pilas ordenadas, como a la espera de que Jose los descubra. Otros requieren mas esfuerzo para ser encontrados. Desde que descubri el primer libro, Ana Karenina, Jose ha estado rescatando libros de la basura- libros gruesos, delgados, usados y casi nuevos, para ampliar la biblioteca que alberga en su casa. Y los sabados, ninos como el pequeno Jose corren hasta llegar al Paraiso y descubrir un mundo lleno de libros y magia.Con un evocador texto de una autora debutante y llamativas ilustraciones de una prometedora ilustradora colombiana, esta es una celebraci n de perseverancia, de comunidades y del poder de los libros.
