Synopsis

Juan Pablo Duarte: The Humanist / Juan Pablo Duarte: El humanista is a pioneering book. It is the first bilingual (Spanish and English) book containing the writings of Juan Pablo Duarte, the founding father of the Dominican Republic. With this selection we seek to expose part of Duarte’s thought as he expressed it at key moments in his life. Hence, the decision to prepare a book that was completely bilingual. The Spanish writings included in this book are exact copies of the manuscripts preserved by Rosa Duarte, one of his sisters, described by historians as the closest to him.

From AudioFile

Sam Peek, 81, who has just experienced the death of his wife of fifty-seven years, journeys alone along Georgia back roads to his sixtieth college reunion. The dog in the title, mysterious and sometimes ghost-like, joins Sam and remains his companion throughout the story. The deceptively simple story is accomplished with skillfully crafted prose and economy of style. The author reads with an honesty and intensity superbly suited to this fine work, which deserves to be better known. M.A.M. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
