Great Hispanic Heritage series.
A great deal of biographical information and some historical context is imparted in these volumes about influential Hispanic authors who write primarily for adults but are enjoyed by many sophisticated young-adult readers. The challenging vocabulary (aquiline, parvenu, epiphany) shows that the series authors are not talking down to their readers. Scattered throughout are many photographs and helpful boxed historical asides. Reading list, timeline, websites. Bib., ind. Review covers these Great Hispanic Heritage titles: Gabriel García Márquez and Isabel Allende.
