Hardback. Etat : Very Good. A San Francisco Chronicle and Southwest Review Best Book of the Year and A World Literature Today Notable Translation of the Year "A dreamscape of a book. I adored this compelling, wise, and utterly unique coming-of-age tale." --Tara Conklin For seven-year-old M, the world is guided by a firm set of principles, based on her father D's life as a traveling salesman. Enchanted by her father's trade, M convinces him to take her along on his routes, selling hardware supplies against the backdrop of Pinochet-era Chile. As father and daughter trek from town to town in their old Renault, M's memories and thoughts become tied to a language of rural commerce, philosophy, the cosmos, hardware products, and ghosts. M, in her innocence, barely notices the rising tensions and precarious nature of their work until she and her father connect with an enigmatic photographer, E, whose presence threatens to upend the unusual life they've created. María José Ferrada expertly captures a vanishing way of life and a father-daughter relationship on the brink of irreversible change. At once nostalgic, dangerous, sharply funny, and full of delight and wonder, How to Order the Universe is a richly imaginative debut and a rare work of magic and originality.…

Hardback. Etat : Good. Swimmers have to train so hard during the day (50 meters of Front Crawl, 50 meters of Backstroke and 50 meters of Butterfly) that at night they must dream they're fish. But what if on those very same nights, when the moon beams down on the ocean, fish dream that they're swimmers? The authors of this book use humor and poetry to show us how a page can be a deep, blue sea or an Olympic swimming pool, depending on how you look at it. Alcántara, Mariana (illustrateur).…
