Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

It's astonishing that we had to wait two years for the Spanish edition of Angela's AshesAand over 30 years for the translation of Tom s's Down These Mean Streets, a classic that first introduced the barrio to wider audiences. But at least they're here. It's also a treat to have this memoir from Jim?nez, Cuban born and now a leading literary scholar living in the United States.

From the Publisher

Ganador del Premio Pulitzer El bestseller internacional

"Simplemente magnifico. Escrito en una prosa a la vez imaginativa y palpable, asi como lirica y brutalmente realista. McCourt nos describe y nos lleva al poblado de Limerick como lo hizo el joven Joyce cuando nos llevo a la ciudad de Dublin a principios de siglo."--Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times

"La autobiografia es una instantanea obra clasica en su genero. Lo suficientemente brillante para ser la obra cuspide en la vida de un autor. Sin embargo, esperamos que en este caso sea tan solo el principio del trayecto para Frank McCourt."--Nina King, The Washington Post Book World

"El poderoso mensaje de la autobiografia es la afirmacion de que el amor y la fuerza pueden surgir de la pobreza y el dolor. A pesar de que la experiencia es individual, la moraleja, y el relato en si, es universal."--Vanessa V. Friedman, Entertainment Weekly

"Solo los mejores narradores hechizan a sus lectores de tal manera que quedan queriendo mas despues de haber terminado el libro. En "Las cenizas de Angela," McCourt comprueba ser uno de los mejores hechiceros."--Malcolm Jones, Jr., Newsweek

5.0 out of 5 stars La vida increible de Frank McCourt, October 24, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Las cenizas de Ángela (Paperback)
Es una historia real. Es increible como su hijo mayor saco su familia adelante y como su padre no le importaba su familia dedicado al alcohol. Fue muy duro en que los ninos se acostaran sin comer cuando su padre se bebia el dinero, y como la gente era tan ignorante para todo. Aveces leia y me daba coraje. Queria meterme en ese libro y caerle a patadas al padre y toda esa gente ignorantes. Hoy termine de leer mi libro y quisiera leer la continuacion. Es un libro maravilloso y triste. Quisiera saber cuando van hacer el proximo libro en Espanol. Estoy impaciente por leerlo.

5.0 out of 5 stars UNO NO SABE SI REIR O LLORAR, July 6, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Las cenizas de Ángela (Paperback)
La forma en que McCourt nos relata lo que fue su infancia en un país como Irlanda, nos hace pensar lo que pueden estar pasando muchos niños en el mundo. Por eso, al leerlo tenemos que sensibilizarnos y llorar por todos ellos que están pasando por lo mismo. Una novela cruda,triste y hasta alegre; pero 100% real

Soy aficionada a la lectura, y en especial las autobiografias y memorias me atraen, Frank McCourt definitivamente es el mejor, sus letras son reveladoras, dramaticamente expresadas, y un vocabulario sencillo y real del vivir cotidiano, su libro Cenizas de Angela es una historia que llega al corazon.
