Abelardo, who as a young man witnessed the events, narrates the novel and in its very first pages commits an act of resistance that will haunt him the rest of his life. In his old age, he begins to reflect on the history of Mexico, as well as his complicated love affairs with both his fiancee and her mother, which play out against the tumultuous backdrop of the invasion and occupation. Told with humor and pathos, Yankee Invasion paints a riveting portrait of an event that, though little known in America, still reverberates in Mexico today. Vivid descriptions capture the streets, cafes, cantinas, and drawing rooms of 19th-century Mexico City.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50376187117841,"sku":"CIN097982494XG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/097982494X.jpg?v=1751171737"},{"product_id":"la-invasion-book-ignacio-solares-9789707702141","title":"La Invasion","description":"\u003cb\u003eAbelardo redacta sus recuerdos de juventud, que est n entrelazados con la intervenci n norteamericana de 1847.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eM xico, fines del siglo XIX.\u003c\/b\u003e Abelardo escribe sus recuerdos de juventud, ineludiblemente entrelazados con la intervenci n norteamericana de 1847.

Compton. Set in the remote and inhospitable mountains of Chihuahua in northern Mexico, it tells the story of a young priest, Lucas Caraveo, who spends three remarkable days in San Sstenes, an extraordinary Utopian community. Most of the town's inhabitants have been diagnosed with terminal illnesses, and have fled civilization to confront death without fear or dread. Surrounded by Tarahumara Indians and drawing upon their ancient outlook on death and human relationships, the village of San Sstenes has a unique economic and spiritual harmony, despite the harsh physical environment. The town's leader is either a self-aggrandizing, twisted, charismatic, dangerous outcast, or a spiritual, economic and social visionary. In this refreshing yet odd and isolated locale, Caraveo struggles to make sense of his own value system, meets intriguing people, encounters astonishing, highly charged circumstances, and anguishes over whether he will ever be allowed to leave. The original Spanish version of this novel received the Mazatln prize for Mexican literature in 2004.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51025769824529,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51025772118289,"sku":"NIN9781434371850","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52125061218577,"sku":"NLS9781434371850","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1434371859.jpg?v=1750756794"},{"product_id":"letters-to-a-young-psychologist-the-golden-coin-book-ignacio-solares-9781496919595","title":"Letters to a Young Psychologist \u0026 the Golden Coin","description":"Letters to a Young Psychologist consists of a series of essays in the form of letters. As a primer on the subject of psychology, it is unique because it comes through the lens of a novelist with insightful references to the junction of psychology and literature. Early in the book, Solares gives an overview of why the field of psychology fascinates him: Vast regions of the human mind haven't yet been mapped. He encourages the reader: I can only hope that you will fall madly in love with  psychology]. I give you these letters thoroughly drenched in that same spirit, starting with Freud and ending with the discovery of hypnosis and the volatile introduction of drugs into psychotherapy. Solares explores Freud's contributions and limitations, and does the same for Jung. He also tackles Behaviorism. Pragmatism, spirituality, an entertaining predecessor of Freud, Franz Mesmer, the use and misuse of drugs in psychological treatment, and role of meditation in psychology. The Golden Coin: Freud or Jung?, an award-winning play, features an enlightening and lively intellectual duel between the two famous psychologists of the title, one of whom visits the other from the afterlife.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51030496280849,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51030498541841,"sku":"NIN9781496919595","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52146045878545,"sku":"NLS9781496919595","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1496919599.jpg?v=1750924749"},{"product_id":"anonymous-book-ignacio-solares-9781524685782","title":"Anonymous","description":"\u003cp\u003eA man wakes up in someone else's body and then struggles to figure out what has happened.
