El nuevo libro de Laura Lavayen, El Precio del Odio, un gran libro sobre las consecuencias de una emoción incontrolable.

NUEVA YORK, 23 de febrero de 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — El reciente lanzamiento del libro El Precio del Odio por Laura Lavayen de la editorial Page Publishing, Esta novela trata muchos temas de ahora y otros de siempre. La situación actual. Las drogas, La libertad de poseer un arma. Los ataques a las escuelas. Todo provoca una situación que tiene a todos preocupados. Y nos preguntamos que más nos espera en el futuro. ¿Aprenderemos a actuar como seres humanos y civilizados o…

Laura Lavayen nació en Bariloche. Una ciudad turística en el sur de Argentina. Donde vivió hasta la adolescencia. Luego se trasladó a Buenos Aires donde vivió hasta que se vino a Estados Unidos donde aún vive. Nunca se olvidó de su país de origen y lo visita siempre desde enero hasta marzo. En Estados Unidos como muchos inmigrantes hizo distintas clases de trabajo. Logro cumplir muchos anhelos menos el de poder pronunciar bien el inglés. Se casó y perdió a su esposo no hace mucho. Durante su enfermedad que duro mucho tiempo escribió dos novelas que aún no ha publicado. Pero espero poder volver a hacerlo, aunque me está costando bastantes, ya que al volver tuve que cambiar mi vieja computadora por una que me está mostrando que me va a costar mucho para adaptarme a ella porque no es tan simple como lo era mi vieja y enorme computadora. Pero no por eso me voy a resignar a dejar de escribir.

El precio del odio es un libro que muestra mucho de la vida actual. Tres generaciones de mujeres cuya historia hace pensar que, aunque la mujer ha ganados derechos como el de votar y estudiar y salir a trabajar a la calle para mantener a la familia aun así debe a veces aguantar a un marido u hombre que por ser físicamente más fuerte que ella logra dominarla de diferentes formas. En esta ficción la abuela que tuvo un padre dominante que no le permitió estudiar por ser mujer, obligó a su hija a hacerlo, pero en un colegio que era muy caro. Lejos de su barrio donde esta no quería ir por no separarse de sus amigos. Su descontento hizo que Ángela se revelara y cuando su madre le compro un vestido para celebrar sus 16 años, Ángela se fue de la casa. Volvió casada más tarde y traía un bebe de meses. Un día desapareció, no volvió por mucho tiempo. Nunca se supo lo que hizo todo el tiempo que estuvo ausente. Había perdido la memoria y no supo decir cuándo o cómo.

Publicada por Page Publishing, el maravilloso libro de Laura Lavayen, El Precio del Odio, nos hará recorrer las más profundas emociones de nuestro ser y aprender que el odio tiene consecuencias inimaginables.

Para los lectores que deseen experimentar esta increíble experiencia, pueden hacerlo, a través de la lectura de este libro, concretando la compra de El Precio del Odio en las tiendas en línea de Apple iTunes, Amazon, Google Play o Barnes and Noble.

El nuevo libro de Martin Alfredo Garache, Amándote a la Distancia, un hermoso poemario donde el tiempo y la distancia no tiene cabida.

SAN PABLO, Calif., 23 de febrero de 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — El reciente lanzamiento del libro Amándote a la Distancia por Martin Alfredo Garache de la editorial Page Publishing, un compendio de poemas donde la fortaleza del amor perduró por más de doce años.

<img…

Martin Alfredo Garache nació en Managua, ciudad capital de Nicaragua. Desde temprana edad mostró una clara inclinación a la lectura y escritura. Cuando mostraba sus escritos a amigos y familiares le decían que los había plagiado de algún poeta o filosofo famoso, no creían que fueran de su autoría. Estas opiniones le desanimaban y sus poemas, versos y cuentos terminaron en el cesto de papeles, bote de la basura o un predio baldío.

Aunque no todo fue solo amargura, pues algunos chiquillos, compañeros de clase, le pedían escribiera poemas para ellos regalárselos a la jovencita que cortejaban, como si fueran suyos, recibiendo a cambio alguna gaseosa o la promesa de unas monedas que jamás aparecían. A pesar de todo eso, él nunca se negó a ayudar a sus amiguitos. Eran tiempos infantiles y juveniles.

Su espíritu poético reapareció cuando escribió a su pareja debido a una separación forzada. Pero aquí también sucedió algo triste, un pariente cercano de ella le destruyo toda la correspondencia de cinco años. Estamos seguros de que también allí se fue mucha poesía.

Este trabajo es un fragmento de la historia de amor de una pareja nicaragüense, cuya felicidad se vio afectada por los efectos de la guerra fratricida que tanto dolor trajo a ese pueblo en la década de los 80 y que, tristemente, igual que miles de familias más, fueron obligados a separarse.

Producto de la consabida situación política existente entonces en ese país, a él no le fue posible salir, dado su condición de oficial militar. Pero ella si alcanzó con mucho esfuerzo emigrar a los EE. UU. a residir allí. Para superar la distancia, se escribían y enviaban correspondencia cada viernes. Ella supo guardar celosamente y con tierno amor cartas, postales y demás escritos que regularmente recibía, advirtiendo que la forma de escribir de él era un tanto poética. Decía lo que decía con sabor a poesía.

La separación alcanzó la edad de doce años, luego de los cuales el destino les concedió estar nuevamente unidos y fue cuando de mutuo acuerdo extrajeron las porciones poéticas que cada carta tenía y así dieron a luz este libro, como un testimonio de que es posible permanecer enamorados, mantener vivo el amor en el tiempo y, amar a la distancia.

Publicada por Page Publishing, el interesante e increíble libro de Martin Alfredo Garache, Amándote a la Distancia, nos entrega la pasión, la determinación y la lealtad de alguien enamorado, que a pesar de miles de kilómetros seguía demostrando amor como nunca.

Para los lectores que deseen experimentar esta hermosa experiencia, pueden hacerlo, a través de la lectura de este libro, concretando la compra de Amándote a la Distancia en las tiendas en línea de Apple iTunes, Amazon, Google Play o Barnes and Noble.
