It is in the kitchen that Tita, the protagonist, spends most of her time. Her life is intertwined with the dishes she lovingly prepares. This novel tells the story of Tita from her birth on a ranch in northern Mexico, highlighting her youth, her love for Pedro, and her mission to care for her domineering Mother Elena. The seasoning combines the Mexican Revolution of the early 20th century with the magical realism characteristic of Latin American literature. A work to be appreciated in every sense. • Like Water for Chocolate has been translated into 35 languages and sold over 3 million copies. • Laura Esquivel, in 1994, received the American Booksellers Book of the Year award, the first time ever awarded to a foreign writer. The adaptation of the work was also a success for the cinema, directed by Alfonso Arau. • The author was in Brazil in early August for literary events in Barris (Salvador) and Brasília. Bertrand Brasil is launching the non-fiction book Writing the New Story.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159326146812,"sku":"9788577994342","price":49.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/ff4ecbdecfd4847e6c5ce91a7395866a.jpg?v=1778317760"},{"product_id":"escrevendo-a-nova-historia-como-deixar-de-ser-vitima-em-12-sessoes","title":"Writing the New Story: How to Stop Being a Victim in 12 Sessions","description":"A book for all those who plan to take control of their destiny.
