Description
"Una colección de historias desde el borde de Argentina hasta Alaska. Quince mil años antes de que los Europeos pisarán las Américas, la gente ya se había propagado de punta a punta y de costa a costa. Como todos los humanos, estos Nativos Americanos buscaban comprender su lugar en el universo, la naturaleza de su relación con lo divino, y el origen del mundo en el que habían emergido sus antepasados. Las respuestas se encuentran en sus historias sagradas. La autora María García Esperon, la ilustradora Amanda Mijangos, y el traductor David Bowles nos han regalado un tesoro. Sus talentos han tejido esta colección de historias de naciones y culturas en nuestros dos continentes - el Mundo Rodeado del Mar, como lo llamaban los Aztecas - desde la orilla de Argentina hasta lo mas alto de Alaska. La lista de Em Querido busca presentar los mejores libros traducidos de todo el mundo a una audiencia Estadounidense. Nos sentimos afortunados de traerte este libro en nuestra lista inaugural, con el deseo de que sea una verdadera."--Provided by publisher.
Description
A collection of stories from the edge of Argentina to Alaska. Fifteen thousand years before Europeans set foot in the Americas, people had already spread from end to end and coast to coast. Like all humans, these Native Americans sought to understand their place in the universe, the nature of their relationship with the divine, and the origin of the world in which their ancestors had emerged. Answers are found in their sacred stories. Author María García Esperon, illustrator Amanda Mijangos, and Translator David Bowles has given us a treasure. His talents have woven this collection of stories of nations and cultures on our two continents - the World Surrounded by the Sea, as the Aztecs called it - from the shore of Argentina to the top of Alaska The Dear Em List seeks to present the best translated books from around the world to an American audience. We feel fortunate to bring you this book on our inaugural list with the wish that it be a true one.
