The Transfer of Age

The Transfer of Age

High school is a huge turning point in everyone’s lives. High school is a period when you’re trying to figure out where you want to be in life, who you want to become, and have to remember to stay true to yourself at the same time. There are daily stresses, some huge moments that make you gawk in awe, some successes, and drama runs rampant. This teenager went through all that and more, as you will see… this, the journey through high school, is the Transfer of Age.

“And by the way, everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt.” –Sylvia Plath

Balancing Act

Balancing Act

People always say that so much changes after high school, and they are right. It’s almost as if you’re walking a tightrope and performing a balancing act, hoping that you don’t fall and get hurt in the process. This is the continuation of The Transfer of Age and we see our protagonist face new hardships while still trying to find out who she really is.

“What’s really fun is reading your journal, like a year later, or even a month, and realizing how much you’ve changed. You’re looking at something you said, something you really meant at the time, and you’re like, ‘I can’t believe I ever really believed that! I am such an asshole!’ I think that’s the best thing about growing up.” – Cameron Díaz

Reading these books, you become privy to the most intimate thoughts, feelings, and yearnings of a sensitive young woman.

Disponibles ahora: Cinco novelas de Juan Valera

Cinco novelas de Juan Valera

Estamos muy orgullosos de poder ofrecer a nuestros lectores cinco de las historias más encantadoras del siglo XIX. Son cinco novelas del genio genial Juan Valera por el precio (y el peso) de una sola: El comendador Mendoza, Doña Luz, Juanita la Larga, Genio y figura, y Morsamor. Estas novelas han sido disfrutadas desde su primera publicación a finales del siglo XIX. Los conflictos y problemas de los personajes simpáticos siguen con relevancia hoy. Pese a las vicisitudes de cada argumento, siempre triunfa el amor.

Esta edición ha sido editada con esmero. Cuenta con un índice activo y separación de capítulos para una experiencia lectora plenamente satisfactoria.

El comendador Mendoza es el abuelo de Faustino (de otra novela de Valera) y habitante de Villabermeja en el siglo XVIII. Evita con su carisma que Clara se haga monja y consigue que ésta se case con su amado Carlos.

Doña Luz tiene que abandonar su vida de aristócrata en Madrid para rehacer su vida en Andalucía. Dadas las opciones limitadas que tiene por su humilde nacimiento, declara que nunca piensa casarse. Pero resulta ser una histórica de amor y de decisiones: ¿debe doña Luz seguir la llamada a la religión o dejarse llevar por el atractivo don Jaime Pimental?

Juanita la Larga es la joven lugareña más bella y deseada. De extracción humilde, se convierte sin embargo en objeto del deseo de Don Paco. No será sencillo para Juanita responder a ese amor, debido a las presiones sociales y la hipocresía de la España de la época.

En Genio y figura Juan Valera recuerda los años que pasó de diplomático en Brasil. Describe, con fina pluma gracia e ironía, los personajes que más captaron su atención. La gran enseñanza que aparece entre las charlas irónicas y personajes cautivadores es que las ideas separan a los hombres.

Morsamor: En el primer tercio del siglo XVI, un fraile franciscano llamado fray Miguel de Zuheros lamenta que haya dejado que su vida pasara sin hacer nada especial. Por eso, un “amigo” le convence a ir a ver el mundo. Tiene increíbles aventuras en el camino de aprender lo que realmente importa en la vida.

Now Available in Digital Formats: Sail To Italy and Sail From Italy

Sail To Italy and Sail From Italy

Both books in the Sailing Italy Series in one handy volume!

1. What if the Princess of Italy had only the help of her friends to solve the mystery of her father’s murder? What if the Prince of Germany wanted to marry the Princess of Italy in a coldhearted grab for power? This book answers these and other burning questions. Along the way, the reader journeys at sea, meets pirates, bankers, and cousins, spends some time in the dungeon and very nearly gets married. Sail To Italy is a silly story with exotic locations, pirates, mistaken identity, royalty, blacksmithing, romance, and adventure.

2. What if the Queen of Italy and her best friend were the targets of a mad killer? What if the only way to save their own lives was to travel to Spain? Sail From Italy ties up the loose ends from Sail To Italy. Javier gets to visit his beloved homeland. Carlovita has to fight for her man. Tony confronts the secrets from his past that separated him from the royal Italian family twenty years before. We find out what Repual Gofinick is really like, and discover the soft side of Pirate Pierre. We also have an absurdist interlude in the finest hotel in Hortaleza and a thrilling chase scene in the harbor at Torreblanca.

Together, these books are over 18,000 words – a fast, fun read for people who have not developed beyond the emotional and intellectual level of a thirteen-year-old. Seriously, if you can’t think like someone thirteen or younger, this book is not for you. Why do I put the cap at thirteen? Because that’s how old I was when I wrote them. In fact, many thirteen-year-olds might be a little too world-weary for this series. Use of these books should probably be limited to people twelve and under, or to hardworking adults who still understand the wonder of one’s first trip away from home, and the innocence of falling in love for the first time.

Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes, Translated by John Ormsby

What kind of Spanish publisher would we be if we didn’t try to do our part to disseminate Don Quixote in English and Spanish in a professionally-done digital format, complete and with an interactive table of contents? No Spanish publisher at all! And so, our first featured release is Don Quixote de la Mancha by Miguel de Cervantes (and translated by the faithful-as-can-be John Ormsby).

Don Quixote de La Mancha ranks among the top 100 books of all time and is considered by many to be the first modern novel. First published in 1605 and 1615, it still astonishes with its genius and imagination. Everyone has his or her own interpretation of the mad nobleman who begins by tilting at windmills and ends up insinuating himself into every corner of the reader’s heart and mind. Don’t miss this unequalled opportunity to read this incredible book at an affordable price.

The John Ormsby translation is the “truest” English version ever produced. Ormsby neither adds nor subtracts from Cervantes’s original.

This edition includes the complete text of both parts in Ormsby’s translation, Ormsby’s informative preface, a “quick and simple” biography of the author after the main text, and a detailed interactive table of contents. Buy it in epub (Nook) or Kindle or directly from the publisher by submitting only $5.00 to our Paypal account acedrexpublishing at yahoo.com.
