Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Founded in Boston in 1829, Perkins School for the Blind was the first school of its kind in the United States. Perkins pioneered education for people who are deafblind when seven-year-old Laura Bridgman became the first deafblind person to learn language, in 1837. Fifty years later, alumna Annie Sullivan used the same methods to teach Helen Keller, the deafblind Perkins student who became one of the foremost humanitarians of the twentieth century. The school also pioneered the first kindergarten for the blind and the first training programs for teachers of the blind and deafblind. Perkins School for the Blind pays tribute to this groundbreaking institution and its legacy of establishing education programs that bring hope and dignity to more than forty thousand people with blindness and deafblindness worldwide.

Add to basketPaperback. Condition: New. «Most books about purpose-driven lives either glorify or vilify a savior figure. This deep, engaging memoir is the inspirational exception. Wellspring House was a haven from dominant social structures, collectively built on mutuality and a commitment to a sustainable community, both economically and spiritually. It is a model that can and should be replicated.»(Ruth McCambridge, editor emerita of the Nonprofit Quarterly)«If you care at all about homelessness, read this book. Most of the conversation about affordable housing is about the housing. This book demonstrates how to welcome the stranger, inhabit a house, and make it a home, and that may be the point. Written with the grace it speaks about, this book is both inspiring and grounded in the moral challenges of our time.»(Peter Block, author of Community: The Structure of Belonging)This book tells the story of Wellspring House, an extraordinary community founded by ordinary people with a simple but radical mission: to live together and share their home with people who needed one.Rejecting typical nonprofit models, they created a welcoming home for families, mostly headed by women, through reciprocal relationships, human dignity, and fresh flowers always on the table. Wellspring listened to what their guests needed, then stretched to meet those needs: by developing affordable housing and a land trust, educating women to be change leaders, supporting parents, and more.This book combines the dramatic narrative of creating homes and losing them-including their own-with an analysis of misguided anti-poverty policy. It is a cautionary tale about the misuse of power in nonprofits. In a time of desperate need for hospitality and community, it offers justice-seeking organizations and activists an inspiring model of how to make a real difference in the place you call home.

Blanda. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: Nuevo. Kimberly French (illustrator). 1. Escribí Matate, amor con ánimo de venganza. No recuerdo nada salvo eso, que una tarde del final de un verano de tormentas eléctricas de 2011 en mi casa en el campo francés, me tiré al pasto, es decir, «me recliné sobre la hierba entre árboles caídos y tuve la impresión de llevar un cuchillo con el que iba a desangrarme de un corte ágil en la yugular». Recuerdo que me levanté del pasto con el cuello ensangrentado, caminé directo a mi cuarto, entré por la ventana y me senté a escribir la primera frase de lo que sería Matate, amor. Pero eso no fue escribir. Eso que llaman escribir es mentira, es algo de lo que hay que dudar, eso que llaman escribir es otra cosa siempre, una guerra, caminar sonámbula, ver enemigos en todos lados, es algo de otra dimensión. Palabra por palabra, frase por frase, coma por coma, punto por punto, nada fue corregido ni alterado por ningún editor en ninguna edición. No porque sea genial ni por superstición, sino para conservar en esa primera página la música única de esa tarde de fin de verano de 2011. Escribir para hacer perdurar la desaparición. Escribí entonces, como un ajuste de cuentas, como un pacto con la mafia, si no está permitido disparar, incendiar establos o secuestrar vecinos, al menos es otro modo de hacer justicia por mano propia. Escribí Matate, amor durmiendo con el enloquecedor llanto del bebé encima, mirando a los gatos bajo la escarcha, con roedores desfilando por la casa, con el AJJJAJJJ de una lechuza que escupía los cerebros que no podía deglutir y sin saber que estaba escribiendo una novela, sin ser nada, mucho menos escritora. Qué asco hablar, dice ella, qué asco escribir. Escribir sin saber que se está escribiendo, escribir la antiescritura, el sueño alto de todo escritor. Pasaron catorce años desde aquella vez en la que me tiré al pasto en un estado demencial, Matate, amor fue llevada a juicio y fue leída en una sentencia por un juez de provincia francés. Soñé que lo esperaba a la salida del Tribunal de provincia y lo mataba, o que lo seguía hasta su casa y lo envenenaba. La novela fue citada en mi contra como: «ejemplo de que una novela en la que el personaje odia la maternidad, vuelve mala madre a la autora». Escribir no es, como se quiere hacer creer hoy, adherir a una ideología, militar por una ideología, someterse a una identidad, escribir es oponerse al mundo. Esta obra fue adaptada al cine bajo su título original en inglés, Die, My Love, y se estrenó en Competencia Oficial en el Festival de Cannes en mayo de 2025. Producida por Martin Scorsese y dirigida por Lynne Ramsay, fue protagonizada por Jennifer Lawrence y Robert Pattinson. Cercana al universo Thomas Bernhard, esta novela nos revela que es en el lenguaje donde se aloja la única libertad posible. 245 gr. Libro.
