Zusatztext 'Marvellous ... spare yet luminous. The subtle power of Cisneros's storytelling is evident. She communicates all the rapture and rage of growing up in a modern world' Informationen zum Autor Sandra Cisneros Klappentext Told in a series of vibrant vignettes,  The House on Mango Street  is the story of Esperanza Cordera, a young girl growing up in the Hispanic quarter of Chicago. For Esperanza, Mango Street is a desolate landscape of concrete and run-down tenements where she discovers the hard realities of life - the fetters of class and gender, the spectre of racial enmity and the mysteries of sexuality. Capturing her thoughts and emotions in poems and stories, Esperanza is able to rise above hopelessness and create for herself "a house all of my own quiet as snow, a space for myself to go" in the midst of her oppressive surroundings.Over three million copies sold worldwide, this is the classic first novel by the author of Caramelo Zusammenfassung A novel by the author of "Caramelo".
