The Chilean coup d' tat of 1973 was a watershed event in the history of Chile. It was also a defining moment in the life of writer Marjorie Agos n. This collection of prose vignettes and free verse draws upon her experiences as a child in Chile, an expatriate abroad, and a minority Jew--even in the land she calls home--to create a striking portrait of a life of exile. The tone of the book varies as it lyrically explores the geography of Chile and weaves into it the themes of exile and oppression. At times the words become hymns to the physical beauty of her country, evoking the grandeur of this land extending to the southernmost tip of the world. At times they are intimate and melancholy, exploring personal and familial history through miniature portraits that reveal the pain of being different. Finally the tone becomes angry as she denounces the injustices committed against her friends and against the families of the disappeared during the seventeen-year dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet. Combining themes of memory, childhood, minority issues, Judaism, and political oppression, this collection contains some of Agos n's strongest work. Of Earth and Sea is a poetic autobiography that explores the world of Chile with eyes that see both despair and hope.Binding Type: Paperback

Excellent Can Opener – Safe, Effortless, and Smartly Designed!
I’m so impressed with this electric can opener! From the moment I took it out of the box, it was incredibly easy to use—just one touch and it does all the work for you. What really sets it apart is how it opens cans with a smooth edge, so there's absolutely no worry about scratching yourself or dealing with sharp, jagged lids. That’s a huge relief, especially for someone like me who cooks often and has had accidents with traditional openers in the past.
The design is compact and sleek, making it easy to store in a drawer, and it feels solid and well-made in the hand. It’s also surprisingly quiet while running. I’ve used it on all types of cans, and it works like a charm every time. Honestly, I didn’t expect to love a can opener this much, but it makes such a difference in the kitchen. If you're thinking about getting one, this is 100% worth it!

Effortless Can Opening – A Game Changer in the Kitchen!
I absolutely love this Automatic Electric Can Opener! It makes opening cans so much easier and completely hands-free. No more struggling with manual openers or sharp edges—this gadget does all the work for you with just the push of a button. The smooth edge cutting is a huge plus because it keeps my family safe from accidental cuts.
It’s lightweight, easy to use, and works perfectly with just a couple of batteries. I especially appreciate it when I’m multitasking in the kitchen because it saves so much time and effort. Honestly, it’s a must-have tool for anyone who cooks regularly, and it would be a great gift for seniors or anyone with hand pain or arthritis.
Highly recommend—it has truly made my kitchen life easier!
