Dogs of Summer

Product Information

Quando saímos pela porta da dona Carmen parecia-me ter um verme a rastejar na minha garganta. Esse verme preto dizia-me que eu alguma vez tinha invejado a Isora. Gostava da cor do seu cabelo e da dos seus braços. Gostava da sua letra. (...) Gostava dos seus olhos e de tantas outras coisas. Invejava-a pela forma como falava aos adultos. En mi opinión, la parte buena de “Panza de burro” (siempre hay alguna) es que el dialecto de la protagonista es hipnotizante. Llega un momento en el que podrías mantener una conversación del mismo calibre con ella a pie de calle y sentirte como en casa. La voz de Andrea Abreu, en ese sentido, es particular, eficaz y arrolladora. Es real. Y eso es lo más bonito de todo. Estás leyendo y lees Tenerife. Viajas. If your dog begins to exhibit signs of heatstroke, you should try immediately to cool them down. Cooling methods include getting them into the shade, spraying them with cool or tepid water, and fanning them. Severely affected dogs require fluids, medication, support, and oxygen. Two of my favourite books I read last year (‘Reasons She Goes To The Woods’ and ‘The Discomfort of Evening’) were books with young female narrators coming of age and the struggle and oddities that come with it, and Dogs of Summer is a brilliant new addition to that kind of sub category of books.

In ancient Greek, Sirius means “glowing” or “scorcher” so it makes sense that they named this star after the extreme summer heat in the Mediterranean. The myth behind Sirius is that he is the loyal pup of the hunter, Orion. Most novice astronomers are familiar with Orion and can at least identify Orion’s belt in the night sky as three stars forming a straight line.Na ausência dos adultos, as duas amigas passam os dias a brincar com Barbies, a jogar no Gameboy, a vaguear de um lado para o outro e, sobretudo nas típicas descobertas sexuais da puberdade. A rich and prophetic world of women and low, grey clouds that merge with the sea. Pure poetry’ Pilar Quintana Virgil, the Roman poet, wrote in the Aeneid that “fiery Sirius, bringer of drought and plague to frail mortals, rises and saddens the sky with sinisterlight.” Told from the POV of a 10-year-old heroine, we follow her through the summer season, living where others come to vacation. Unable to take a trip herself, she spends her days in the company of her best friend Isora. Let your dog go for a swim. Some dogs are natural swimmers, while others won’t get a toe wet. Never force your dog into the water. Follow these water safety tips and be mindful of your dog’s preferences and skills before sending them out to ride the waves.

Provide a container of fresh water, as well as a container of frozen water that will thaw over the course of the trip. A young girl comes of age on the island of Tenerife in the 90s, exploring her friendship, envy and sexuality. Clouds hang low overhead, at times obscuring the island’s volcano, or the fumbling of its young residents. The writing is part poetry, part prose, at times stream on consciousness full of bold, specific details. As sultry as the summer weather. Abreu beautifully evokes an era, in which Pokémon and Bratz dolls give way to sexual discovery' Guardian In ancient Greece, Egypt, and Rome, it was believed that the dawn rising of Sirius in mid-to-late summer contributed to the extreme weather of the season. In other words, the “combined heat” of super-bright Sirius and our Sun was thought to be the cause of summer’s sweltering temperatures. The name “Sirius” even stems from the Ancient Greek seírios, meaning“scorching.”Bold, dazzling, hilarious. Andrea Abreu is a lively meteorite in the landscape of Hispanic Literature
