Artikelbeschreibung
The House on Mango Street is one of the most cherished novels of the last fifty<BR>years. Readers from all walks of life have fallen for the voice of Esperanza<BR>Cordero, growing up in Chicago and inventing for herself who and what she will<BR>become. "In English my name means hope," she says. "In Spanish it means too<BR>many letters. It means sadness, it means waiting."<BR><BR>Told in a series of vignettes-sometimes heart breaking, sometimes<BR>joyous-Cisneros's masterpiece is a classic story of childhood and<BR>self-discovery. It is also one of the greatest neighbourhood novels of all time.<BR>Like Sinclair Lewis' Main Street or Toni Morrison's Sula, it makes a world<BR>through people and their voices, and it does so in language that is poetic and<BR>direct. Acclaimed by critics, a staple in schools, translated into dozens of<BR>languages, this gorgeous coming-of-age novel is a celebration of the power of<BR>telling one's story and of being proud of where you come from.
