Boyle in The Tortilla Curtain, Viramontes presents a moving and powerful vision of the lives of the men, women, and children who endure a second-class existence and labor under dangerous conditions in Californias fields.At the center of this powerful tale is Estrella, a girl about to cross the perilous border to womanhood. What she knows of life comes from her mother, who has survived abandonment by her husband in a land that treats her as if she were invisible, even though she and her children pick the crops of the farms that feed its people. But within Estrella, seeds of growth and change are stirring. And in the arms of Alejo, they burst into a full, fierce flower as she tastes the joy and pain of first love. Pushed to the margins of society, she learns to fight back and is able to help the young farmworker she loves when his ambitions and very life are threatened in a harvest of death.Infused with the beauty of the California landscape and shifting splendors of the passing seasons juxtaposed with the bleakness of poverty, this vividly imagined novel is worthy of the people it celebrates and whose story it tells so magnificently. The simple lyrical beauty of Viramontes prose, her haunting use of image and metaphor, and the urgency of her themes all announce Under the Feat of Jesus as a landmark work of American fiction....1723416Under the Feet of Jesus204249https://www.gandhi.com.mx/under-the-feet-of-jesus/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/319095/23f476b4-79d1-44a3-a79b-88fb79b269a4.jpg?v=638334230554030000InStockMXN99999DIEbook19969781101078235_W3siaWQiOiI3ODFiNGJmYy1kMzlkLTRkNGQtYjdmNC0xYjM2ZjFiNWM3MGEiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjMwNCwiZGlzY291bnQiOjcwLCJzZWxsaW5nUHJpY2UiOjIzNCwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjUtMDItMDVUMDQ6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d;9781101078235_W3siaWQiOiI3ODFiNGJmYy1kMzlkLTRkNGQtYjdmNC0xYjM2ZjFiNWM3MGEiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjMwNCwiZGlzY291bnQiOjcwLCJzZWxsaW5nUHJpY2UiOjIzNCwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjUtMDItMDVUMDQ6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d9781101078235_Winner of the John Dos Passos Prize for LiteratureStunning.NewsweekWith the same audacity with which John Steinbeck wrote about migrant worker conditions in The Grapes of Wrath and T.C.
