Subtitle: 100 Famous Latinos Share Real-Life Stories, Time-Tested Dichos, Favorite Folktales, and Inspiring Words of Wisdom Nava has compiled the wisdom of our ancestors through the stories, legends, folktales and sayings they imparted. She divides the book into chapters, each dealing with a basic value: Responsibility, Respect, Hard Work, Prudence, Chastity, etc. Many of the dichos were familiar to me, having heard them from my parents and grandparents. And many of the real-life stories the writers related were also familiar, and I could have written them about my own ancestors. Reading the book in one sitting, however, just emphasized how repetitious it is. This was a book-club selection, and so I felt compelled to read it through. Still, it took me over two months to finish it. These short vignettes (many barely a page long), are perfect for a daily meditation, so it’s a nice book to have around the house for that purpose. But I wouldn’t recommend it for a straight read-through. rabck from sweetsangria; read as part of the LibraryThing Dewey decimal challenge for 1xx. Full of Latino poems, stories and sayings, grouped by theme: Respect, Charity, etc. There were people represented that I have no idea had a Latino background. The dichos were not very different than Anglo sayings and wisdom - do the right thing, help others, love on another, etc. Nice compilation. Zeige 3 von 3 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

A treasure trove of cherished folktales, lullabies, poems, and dichos, this rich collection of Latino wisdom includes inspiring recollections and anecdotes by well-known and beloved figures, both past and present -- from actor Edward James Olmos and author isabel Allende to Nobel laureate Octavio Paz and Saint Teresa de Avila.

True to life cuentos (stories) of respect, hard work, job well done, family many by famous people.....
After awhile they all read the same to me.....
There were poems, stories, dichos (sayings) of the Latino culture. There was some history of the of the ancient Native Cultures as well.
One thing stood out, the first poem I read, was not translated correctly... The translation was of what the poem was intended to convey, but not what its words actually translated to. ( )
