By Lidia Capone, Shawn Inmon. 2012
Vivere e amare in una cittadina americana negli anni '70 Se ricordate ancora il vostro primo amore, il primo appuntamento…
e il primo bacio, allora Come la Prima Volta vi riporterà indietro a quei momenti. Corre l'anno 1976: Shawn incontra Dawn quando lei si trasferisce nella casa accanto. Ben presto diventano amici per la pelle, poi si innamorano l'uno dell'altra. Shawn è un tipo estroverso, appassionato di libri, Dawn è bella e riservata. La loro storia romantica giunge al termine, quando i genitori di Dawn gli impediscono di rivedersi. Non lo faranno - per 27 anni, finché un fortuito incontro non li trascina in un vortice di emozioni e di ricordi. Potrà il tenero legame di quel primo amore non soltanto sopravvivere, ma addirittura rafforzarsi? Come la Prima Volta vi farà vivere la magia dell'amore acerbo nell'America degli anni '70. Non importa quanto cambi il mondo, alcune cose - la musica senza tempo, i balli scolastici, le tenerezze scambiate sui sedili posteriori di una Chevy Vega e, naturalmente, il vero amore - dureranno per sempre.Como la primera vez

tu primer amor, tu primera cita y tu primer beso, Como la primera vez te hará revivir esos momentos. Shawn conoció a Dawn cuando ella se mudó al lado de su casa en 1976. Al poco tiempo, se hicieron mejores amigos para luego ser algo más. Shawn era sociable pero muy estudioso, Dawn, hermosa y reservada. Su romance de novela terminó cuando los padres de Dawn les prohibieron volver a verse. No lo hicieron - por 27 años, hasta que un encuentro del destino los envolvió en una tormenta de emociones y recuerdos. ¿Puede la unión del primer amor no solo sobrevivir, sino florecer aún más? Como la primera vez te hará sumergir en la magia de un amor juvenil en un pequeño pueblo de los Estados Unidos en 1970. No importa cuánto cambie el mundo, algunas cosas - música eterna, bailes escolares, besuqueos en la parte trasera de un Chevy Vega, y por supuesto amor verdadero - siempre seguirán igual.L'Altra Parte del Cielo

California del Sud nel piovoso stato rurale di Washington nel 1976, è più ansiosa di trovare nuovi amici, piuttosto che l'amore. Col tempo, l'amicizia che la lega al ragazzo della porta accanto cresce al punto tale che la ragazza capisce di aver trovato il suo primo amore senza averlo neppure cercato. Tuttavia, la loro relazione ha una svolta drammatica nel 1979 e Dawn è costretta a dire addio per sempre al suo grande amore. O almeno così lei crede. Vent'anni dopo, l'incontro occasionale con quel suo primo, grande amore spinge Dawn a chiedersi se il sentimento che li lega possa resistere all'incedere del tempo e se sia destinato a un lieto fine. L'Altra Parte del Cielo vi regalerà la tenerezza ingenua del primo amore e le emozioni semplici della vita di ogni giorno in un piccolo centro urbano negli anni settanta.El diario de Rywka Lipszyc

Entre 1943 y 1944 escribió un diario, en el que nos cuenta no solo los horrores de los que es testigo, sino también quiénes son sus amigos y su familia, cómo le va en el trabajo y en la escuela, y cuáles son sus sueños y esperanzas para el futuro. El diario fue hallado por una doctora del ejército ruso en el crematorio de Auschwitz, que lo guardó como un tesoro. Ahora, setenta años después, se ha conseguido traducir, revelando este maravilloso testimonio de cómo la vida transcurre incluso en los tiempos más oscuros, sacando a relucir lo más brillante del espíritu humano.Una estrella que no se apaga: (this Star Won't Go Out--spanish-language Edition)

Mientras Tina plancha la camisa de vestir de su esposo, se pregunta porqué él persiste en usar un traje de negocios con camisa de vestir y corbata en su trabajo como corredor de bolsa.
