Every sale should have a goal. This time, the goal is to free up enough space in the office that I can give that (bigger) bedroom to my two boys, Aidan and Eamonn. So, don't just look at it as simply buying books, you're making two little boys very happy.

 


   

Kalpa Imperial
by Angelica Gorodischer

Hardcover

Publisher: ibooks (2005)
ISBN: 1416504117

List Price: $21.95
Our Price: $15.00


Description:
Emperors, empresses, storytellers, thieves . . . and the Natural History of Ferrets. Kalpa Imperial is the first of Argentinean writer Angélica Gorodischer¹s nineteen award-winning books to be translated into English. In eleven chapters, Kalpa Imperial¹s multiple storytellers relate the story of a fabled nameless empire which has risen and fallen innumerable times. Fairy tales, oral histories and political commentaries are all woven tapestry-style into Kalpa Imperial: beggars become emperors, democracies become dictatorships, and history becomes legends and stories. Kalpa Imperial is much more than a simple political allegory or fable. It is also a celebration of the power of storytelling.
