Merchants and Trade Networks in the Atlantic and the Mediterranean, 1550-1800

The Children of Sanchez
A pioneering work from a visionary anthropologist, The Children of Sanchez is hailed around the world as a watershed achievement in the study of poverty—a uniquely intimate investigation, as poignant today as when it was first published. It is the epic story of the Sánchez family, told entirely by its members—Jesus, the 50-year-old patriarch, and his four adult children—as their lives unfold in the Mexico City slum they call home. Weaving together their extraordinary personal narratives, Oscar Lewis creates a sympathetic but ultimately tragic portrait that is at once harrowing and humane, mystifying and moving. An invaluable document, full of verve and pathos, The Children of Sanchez reads like the best of fiction, with the added impact that it is all, undeniably, true.
ULTIMA THULE: Nemesis in the North Sea
"Ultima Thule is the story of a heartbreaking revenge in Scandinavia." "A novel without heroes or villains, featuring human beings struggling for survival in the clash between two antagonistic civilizations." "Romans and Norsemen: a journey with two perspectives that transformed history for centuries." In the year 117 A.D., the Roman Empire dominates the known world. The disagreements between the new emperor Hadrian and his wife Vibia Sabina will fuel the ambition of the Hispano clan Annio Vero to attain the purple robe for one of its descendants. When the young Marco Annio is torn between his love for an unattainable woman and his obedience to his family, Scandinavian Norns will alter his destiny, dragging him into a fratricidal struggle in the North Sea between Harald and Ladgerda, two stepbrothers who have succumbed to revenge as the sole reason for their existence.
The God Box
Paul, a religious teen living in a small conservative town, finds his world turned upside down when he meets Manuel—a young man who says he’s both Christian and gay, two things that Paul didn’t think could coexist in one person. Doesn’t the Bible forbid homosexuality? As Paul struggles with Manuel’s interpretation of the Bible, thoughts that Paul has long tried to bury begin to surface, and he finds himself re-examining his whole life. This is an unforgettable book on an extremely timely topic that strives to open minds on both ends of the spectrum.

A Woman, a Man, a Nation
In 1837 Mariquita Sánchez de Mendeville was so fed up with governor Juan Manuel de Rosas that she chose to leave her beloved city of Buenos Aires. Leaving was especially hard because Mariquita felt that she had played an influential role in transforming Buenos Aires from a Spanish colonial outpost into a brilliant capital in a world of republics. Juan Manuel de Rosas’s version of order alienated Mariquita, who chose self-imposed exile in Montevideo over living under Rosas’s stifling rule. The struggle went on for nearly two decades until Mariquita finally came home for good in 1852 while Rosas went into exile. Mariquita’s and Juan Manuel’s lives corresponded with the major events and processes that shaped the turbulent beginnings of the Argentine nation, many of which also shaped Latin America and the Atlantic World during the Age of Revolution (1750–1850). Their lives provide an overarching narrative for Argentine history that both scholars and students will find intriguing.
