Un niño. Dos países. Dos ideologías. Una emocionante y ambiciosa novela sobre la identidad y el poder arrollador de la cultura que nos muestra que, incluso en los rincones más oscuros de la Historia, la vida se abre paso. Madrid, invierno de 1938 Clotilde, una artista gráfica que dibuja caricaturas para los diarios republicanos, asiste en Madrid a los últimos meses de la Guerra Civil. La caída de la República es inminente, por lo que su marido, militante comunista que trabaja para los rusos, decide enviar a Moscú a su hijo Pablo, de tan solo cinco años, en contra de su voluntad. Clotilde se resiste con todas sus fuerzas, pero no logra evitar que el comandante Borís Petrov emprenda ese arriesgado viaje por una España en llamas para cumplir con el deseo de su camarada de llevar a Pablo a la Unión Soviética, donde Stalin está levantando un nuevo país sobre las ruinas del antiguo régimen. Moscú, primavera de 1939 Allí es recibido por su nueva familia que, conmovida por su trágico exilio, acoge con afecto a un niño exhausto y enfermo. Anya no duda en cuidar de Pablo como si fuese su propio hijo, sin hacer distinciones con Igor, su hermano de adopción. Hija y esposa de dos orgullosos héroes de la Revolución -su padre luchó junto a Lenin, su marido a las órdenes de Stalin-, Anya ama la poesía y la música, aficiones sospechosas y burguesas a los ojos del poder. Mientras sus ilusiones naufragan en el ambiente cada vez más opresivo del terror estalinista, su espíritu se rebela contra la injusticia, la miseria, la ausencia de libertad y el Gulag. Pablo crece entre el recuerdo cada vez más tenue de su madre, que no ceja en su empeño por recuperarlo, y el cariño de Anya, quien le transmite su amor por la música, la literatura y sus deseos de libertad. Dos mujeres unidas por el destino de un niño y enfrentadas al mismo espejo: el de las ideologías totalitarias a las que sucumbió el siglo XX. Se puede perder una guerra, pero se puede ganar la libertad ENGLISH DESCRIPTION One boy. Two nations. Two ideologies.A thrilling and ambitious novel about identity and the overwhelming power of culture that shows us how, even at the darkest corners of history, life finds a way.
Madrid, Winter of 1938 Clotilde, a graphic artist that draws cartoons for republican newspapers, spends the last months of the Civil War in Madrid. The fall of the Republic is imminent, so her husband, a communist militant working for the Russians, must send their son, Pablo, only five years old, to Moscow against her will. Clotilde resists with all her might, but can't stop commander Boris Petrov from embarking on this dangerous journey through a Spain in flames to fulfil his comrade's wish and deliver Pablo to the Soviet Union, where Stalin is erecting a new country on top of the ruins of the old regime. Moscow, Spring of 1939
There he is greeted by his new family. Touched by his tragic exile, they affectionally welcome an exhausted and sick boy. Anya immediately takes care of Pablo as if he were her own son, making no distinction between him and Igor, Pablo's adoptive brother. Daughter and wife of two proud heroes of the Revolution--her father fought next to Lenin, her husband under Stalin--Anya loves poetry and music, dubious and bourgeois interests in the eyes of the authorities. While her illusions capsize within the increasingly oppressive Stalinist terror, her spirit rebels against injustice, misery, the absence of freedom, and the Gulag. Pablo grows up between the ever-more tenuous memory of his mother, relentless in her efforts to get him back, and Anya's love, who shares with him her love for music, for literature, and her yearning for freedom. Two women united by a boy's fate, both reflected in the same mirror: the totalitarian ideologies the twentieth century succumbed to. You may lose a war, and yet earn your freedom.

Not Strategic or Practical
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
This book would be helpful to office managers who are overseeing small self-managed projects. There is heavy emphasis on people management and almost none on any practical project management techniques.
It gave me flashbacks of a couple of project managers I've worked with who were completely useless and left the team to pick up their slack; the kind that talk endlessly without saying anything meaningful and struggle with the basics, like scheduling a meeting. I'm giving it 2 stars because it takes quite a bit of time and effort to publish a book.

Useful and very well done - Bravo!
Format: Paperback
I am a YouTube follower of the authors book, and I purchased her book to take advantage of her real life experiences of flipping over 30 + houses. Because I had already purchased my first house I focused on Part 2 to help me organize my renovation, and revaluate my approach. The book is well written, reading flows, the notes, graphics that call out important details are well place, the models to follow are super useful and the resources are endless. There is an online digital resource that is extremely helpful too. There is so much in this book. I will come back and update as I get through it, but I can say this is an excellent purchase already well worth the money spent. I watch her YouTube channel, and review the online resources regularly, and carry this book with me as I am doing the work as I work, so taking all my spare time to study and review.
Part 2 is where I am focus now since I am starting my renovation. I am doing a "cosmetic" renovation, and her advice about where to focus my budget has helped me decide where to start, what to buy (study comps online - I personally like Redfin, but Zillow too) and I already have a realtor I am working with, and was recommended a contractor by my agent. So - off to the races. It is a downturn market so I am taking my first flip slow, but in a few months I will update my review.
I highly recommend buying the book, it is like an idiots guide to house flipping, but better....you have her YouTube channel, and the online resources too! Enjoy!!

All the information you need to start your first project
Format: Paperback
In the past few years, I have read a couple of books about flipping houses and purchased some paid programs online. This book has so much valuable information that it's by far the most useful one, even compared to the paid 'training program.' When I read it, I can truly feel Elisa's genuineness in sharing her knowledge and experience. I actually finished my first flip before reading this book, now looking back I wish I had read it to avoid some of the mistakes I made. Thank you Elisa for publishing this book.
