Air Ensorcelé Séries

Cette série offre une exploration poétique de l'enfance partagée entre deux cultures, dans le contexte tendu de la Guerre Froide. La protagoniste trouve du réconfort dans les mots et l'imagination tandis que ses deux mondes – la luxuriante Cuba, digne d'un conte de fées, et le Los Angeles animé – entrent en collision dangereuse. Elle aborde les thèmes de l'identité, de la perte et du désir de foyer au milieu des bouleversements politiques et des troubles personnels. C'est un récit poignant sur la recherche de sa place lorsque les patries aimées sont déchirées par l'hostilité.

    In this poetic memoir, Margarita Engle, the first Latina woman to receive a Newbery Honor, tells of growing up as a child of two cultures during the Cold War. Margarita is a girl from two worlds. Her heart lies in Cuba, her mother's tropical island country, a place so lush with vibrant life that it seems like a fairy tale kingdom. But most of the time she lives in Los Angeles, lonely in the noisy city and dreaming of the summers when she can take a plane through the enchanted air to her beloved island. Words and images are her constant companions, friendly and comforting when the children at school are not. Then a revolution breaks out in Cuba. Margarita fears for her far-away family. When the hostility between Cuba and the United States erupts at the Bay of Pigs Invasion, Margarita's worlds collide in the worst way possible. How can the two countries she loves hate each other so much? And will she ever get to visit her beautiful island again?
