Woman Without Shame: Poems
Sandra Cisneros
A brave new collection of poems from Sandra Cisneros, the best-selling author of The House on Mango Street.
It has been twenty-eight years since Sandra Cisneros published a book of poetry. With dozens of never-before-seen poems, Woman Without Shame is a moving collection of songs, elegies, and declarations that chronicle her pilgrimage toward rebirth and the recognition of her prerogative as a woman artist. These bluntly honest and often humorous meditations on memory, desire, and the essential nature of love blaze a path toward self-awareness. For Cisneros, Woman Without Shame is the culmination of her search for home--in the Mexico of her ancestors and in her own heart.
The House on Mango Street
Sandra Cisneros
Acclaimed by critics, beloved by readers of all ages, taught everywhere from inner-city grade schools to universities across the country, and translated all over the world, The House on Mango Street is the remarkable story of Esperanza Cordero.
Told in a series of vignettes – sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes deeply joyous–it is the story of a young Latina girl growing up in Chicago, inventing for herself who and what she will become. Few other books in our time have touched so many readers.

Дом на Манго-стрит
Sandra Cisneros
Что делает нас такими, какие мы есть? Окружение? Но если оно тебе совсем не нравится, можно ли из него вырваться? Что для этого требуется? Чикаго, бедный иммигрантский район, конец ХХ века. Эсперанса стыдится дома на Манго-стри т, в котором живет со своей огромной шумной семьей, она мечтает скорее вырасти, сбежать из родного города и стать писательницей. Эсперанса наблюдает за соседями: их жизнь очень трудна, но они каким-то чудом умудряются быть счастливыми. Хотя в этом нет ничего странного, нищета – это ничто, если ты силен духом, не поддаешься грусти, стремишься к свободе и верен мечтам.
