Paperback. Condition: Good. El Contrapunteo de Florentino y El Diablo is one of the most popular poems from Los Llanos, the Plains of Venezuela. The legend goes that Florentino was the epitome of the great llanero: handsome, a great rider and cattleman, a ladies' man, but above all, a singer and poet. His improvisations (corrios, contrapunteos) were so fast and to the point that the Devil got jealous and challenged him to a night of singing. If the Devil wins before dawn, Florentino will go back with him to hell. Florentino's prize is simply to have defeated the Devil. There are sixteen types of joropo, and fifty-eight variations, to accompany this music. Cattlemen improvise every evening, as they settle for a song before going to bed.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. By award-winning Mexican author Alberto Blanco, comes the story of how a young kite maker mysteriously brings back the missing church bell to his beloved town.

After an exciting chase and a lonely night on a cold mountaintop with his three loyal dogs, Angel succeeds in bringing back the bell to his beloved town. Rodolfo Morales (illustrator). …

Hardback. Condition: Very Good. Is a blank page really blank? Beloved poet Alberto Blanco pulls back the curtain and illuminates all of the elements hidden in a single piece of paper- the tree it was made from, the rain and sun that allowed the tree to grow, and the people that created it. An enlightening read for readers young and old, it soon becomes clear that a blank page contains the whole cosmos. In The Blank Page, world-renowned Mexican poet Alberto Blanco inspires children and adults to keep looking deeper, to never take things at face value. Charming illustrations by Rob Moss Wilson portray a world that slowly comes to life in a single sheet of paper- first the tree, then the forest, then the people are discovered, revealing the whole interrelated ecosystem of our world. As Blanco says- "Where nothing happens, there is a miracle we are not seeing.". Wilson, Rob (illustrator).…

Paperback. Condition: Good. A best-selling author and world-renowned bibliophile meditates on his vast personal library and champions the vital role of all libraries.?The author brings a fresh hopefulness to the enterprise of books and reading. Vintage Manguel?a pleasure for his many readers and admirers.??Kirkus Reviews In June 2015 Alberto Manguel prepared to leave his centuries-old village home in France?s Loire Valley and reestablish himself in a one-bedroom apartment on Manhattan?s Upper West Side. Packing up his enormous, 35,000?volume personal library, choosing which books to keep, store, or cast out, Manguel found himself in deep reverie on the nature of relationships between books and readers, books and collectors, order and disorder, memory and reading. In this poignant and personal reevaluation of his life as a reader, the author illuminates the highly personal art of reading and affirms the vital role of public libraries.   Manguel?s musings range widely, from delightful reflections on the idiosyncrasies of book lovers to deeper analyses of historic and catastrophic book events, including the burning of ancient Alexandria?s library and contemporary library lootings at the hands of ISIS. With insight and passion, the author underscores the universal centrality of books and their unique importance to a democratic, civilized, and engaged society.…
