WINNER OF THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FOR TRANSLATED LITERATURE Deep in the wilds of the New World, Antonio de Erauso begins to write a letter to his aunt, the prioress of the Basque convent he escaped as a young girl. Since fleeing a dead-end life as a nun, he's become Antonio and undertaken monumental adventures: he has been a mule driver, shopkeeper, soldier, cabin boy, and conquistador; he has wielded his sword and slashed with his dagger. Now, caring for two Guaraní girls he rescued from enslavement, and hounded by the army he deserted, this protean protagonist contemplates one more metamorphosis, which just might save the new world from extinction. Based on the life of Antonio de Erauso, a real figure of the Spanish conquest, We Are Green and Trembling is a queer baroque satire and a historical novel that blends elements of the picaresque with surreal storytelling. Its rich and wildly imaginative language forms a searing criticism of conquest and colonialism, religious tyranny, and the treatment of women and indigenous people. It is a masterful subversion of Latin American history with a trans character at its center, finding in the rainforest a magical, surreal space where transformation is not only possible but necessary.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of Caroline Ramble, an 11-year old girl who struggles with vanity and disobedience. Her mother, a woman of high society, has neglected her daughter's education, allowing her to become spoiled and ignorant. When Caroline's behavior becomes unbearable, her mother sends her to stay with Lady Candour, a friend who lives in the countryside. At first, Caroline is resistant to discipline, but under Lady Candour's guidance, she gradually learns the value of education and virtue. She returns home a changed girl, and the experience of her 'fortunous visit' sets her on the path to a more fulfilling life. This book explores the themes of education, morality, and the importance of guidance. It offers insights into the challenges of raising children, the dangers of vanity, and the transformative power of friendship. Through Caroline's journey, the author reminds readers that it is never too late to change one's ways and that even those who have strayed from the path of virtue can find redemption.
