Elogios para ¿Has visto a María? "Un viaje mágico... Cisneros toma temas conmovedores y los convierte en una fábula simple de entender: aceptando la pérdida de un ser querido, la importancia de una comunidad que nos apoya, la presencia de la espiritualidad en nuestras vidas y la forma en que la imaginación y el arte pueden iluminar la realidad... Este libro brilla". -- The Miami Herald "La narrativa se convierte en un mapa conmovedor para poder explorar la pérdida de un ser querido". -- San Antonio Express-News "Único e inspirador... ¿Has visto a María? concibe lo que un buen libro ilustrado hace en dar significado a lo confuso y a la vez ser una experiencia placentera cuando se lee en voz alta... Cisneros y Hernández invitan al lector a disfrutar del cuento, escuchar la melodía en cada palabra y tener una experiencia sin que el lector se sienta agobiado en la monotonía de la autoayuda". -- El Paso Times " ¿Has visto a María? es una parábola para adultos, cuyos temas de muerte, luto y pérdida se transforman cuando se mezclan para formar un simple cuento de una gatita desaparecida... Lleno de ilustraciones pintorescas de San Antonio y sus coloridos personajes". --NBC Latino "Una fábula para aquellos adultos que están de duelo, y... buen remedio para esos corazones partidos por alguna pérdida". --CNN "El don narrativo de Cisneros y las ilustraciones de Ester Hernández le dan vida a un cuento sobre la muerte, el duelo y el camino hacia la superación. Este libro es un bello regalo para compartir con alguien que está superando la pérdida de un ser querido". --Modern Latina
Synopsis
La mundialmente aclamada autora de La casa en Mango Street , y ganadora del PEN/Nabokov Award for Achievement in International Literature 2018, nos brinda un relato profundamente conmovedor acerca de la p rdida, el duelo y la sanaci n: una f bula para adultos l ricamente narrada y v vidamente ilustrada sobre una mujer que busca un gato extraviado tras la muerte de su madre. La palabra "hu rfana" no parecer a aplicarse a una mujer de cincuenta y tres a os de edad. Sin embargo, as es exactamente c mo se siente Sandra al encontrarse sin madre, sola "como un guante abandonado en la estaci n de autobuses." Lo que pudiera salvarla es la b squeda de algo m s que se ha perdido: Mar a, la gatita blanquinegra de su amiga, Rosi, que se larg el d a en que ellas dos llegaron desde Tacoma. A medida que Sandra y Rosi peinan las calles de San Antonio--preguntando por todas partes y poniendo volantes-- Has visto a Mar a? hace gala de la habilidad de esta querida autora de contar cuentos llenos de magia, en un relato que nos recuerda c mo el amor, aun cuando desaparece, no se pierde por siempre., La mundialmente aclamada autora de La casa en Mango Street , y ganadora del PEN/Nabokov Award for Achievement in International Literature 2019, nos brinda un relato profundamente conmovedor acerca de la pérdida, el duelo y la sanación: una fábula para adultos líricamente narrada y vívidamente ilustrada sobre una mujer que busca un gato extraviado tras la muerte de su madre. La palabra "huérfana" no parecería aplicarse a una mujer de cincuenta y tres años de edad. Sin embargo, así es exactamente cómo se siente Sandra al encontrarse sin madre, sola "como un guante abandonado en la estación de autobuses". Lo que pudiera salvarla es la búsqueda de algo más que se ha perdido: María, la gatita blanquinegra de su amiga, Rosi, que se largó el día en que ellas dos llegaron desde Tacoma. A medida que Sandra y Rosi peinan las calles de San Antonio--preguntando por todas partes y poniendo volantes-- ¿Has visto a María? hace gala de la habilidad de esta querida autora de contar cuentos llenos de magia, en un relato que nos recuerda cómo el amor, aun cuando desaparece, no se pierde por siempre. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The internationally acclaimed author of The House on Mango Street gives us a deeply moving tale of loss, grief, and healing: a lyrically told, richly illustrated fable for grown-ups about a woman's search for a cat who goes missing in the wake of her mother's death. The word "orphan" might not seem to apply to a fifty-three-year-old woman. Yet this is exactly how Sandra feels as she finds herself motherless, alone like "a glove left behind at the bus station." What just might save her is her search for someone else gone missing: Marie, the black-and-white cat of her friend, Roz, who ran off the day they arrived from Tacoma. As Sandra and Roz scour the streets of San Antonio, posting flyers and asking everywhere, "Have you seen Marie?" the pursuit of this one small creature takes on unexpected urgency and meaning. With full-color illustrations that bring this transformative quest to vivid life, Have You Seen Marie? showcases a beloved author's storytelling magic, in a tale that reminds us how love, even when it goes astray, does not stay lost forever., La mundialmente aclamada autora de La casa en Mango Street , y ganadora del PEN/Nabokov Award for Achievement in International Literature 2019, nos brinda un relato profundamente conmovedor acerca de la p rdida, el duelo y la sanaci n: una f bula para adultos l ricamente narrada y v vidamente ilustrada sobre una mujer que busca un gato extraviado tras la muerte de su madre.

- e***n (392)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseGreat transaction, exactly as described, packed well, and promptly shipped on August 6th. Unfortunately the U.S. Postal Service took 23 calendar days to deliver the book. It was shipped from Pennsylvania, to Atlanta, past Alabama to Texas, enjoyed several days in Texas, then to Minneapolis, Jacksonville, Florida, back to Atlanta, finally to Birmingham, and Huntsville. The seller was very responsive and I decided it was interesting to see if/how the book would arrive. Thanks, Joe
- e***u (281)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThe listing was for a hardcover version of this book; however, I received a paperback. The Seller replied quickly to my question about this issue and issued a full refund - and let me keep the book. So, a diligent Seller for sure - and well packaged and reasonable timing on shipping. Thank you for the refund, and as you suggested, I'll likely donate this volume and seek the hardcover.
