Product Description
At the age of thirty-one, Gilbert moved with her husband to the suburbs of New York and began trying to get pregnant, only to realize that she wanted neither a child nor a husband. Three years later, after a protracted divorce, she embarked on a yearlong trip of recovery, with three main stops: Rome, for pleasure (mostly gustatory, with a special emphasis on gelato); an ashram outside of Mumbai, for spiritual searching; and Bali, for balancing. These destinations are all on the beaten track, but Gilbert's exuberance and her self-deprecating humor enliven the proceedings: recalling the first time she attempted to speak directly to God, she says, It was all I could do to stop myself from saying, 'I've always been a big fan of your work. The New Yorker Gilbert s prose is fueled by a mix of intelligence, wit and colloquial exuberance that is close to irresistible. -The New York Times Book Review A meditation on love in its many forms love of food, language, humanity, God, and most meaningful for Gilbert, love of self. -Los Angeles Times Description In Spanish: Despues de un divorcio traumatico seguido de un desengano amoroso y en plena crisis emocional y espiritual, Elizabeth Gilbert decide empezar de nuevo y emprende un largo viaje que la llevara sucesivamente a Italia, la India e Indonesia, tres escalas geograficas que se corresponden con otras tantas etapas de busqueda interior. Este libro es la bitacora de esa doble travesia, en la que la autora descubrira el placer sensual de la buena mesa y la buena conversacion (la dolce vita romana), la paz interior alcanzada mediante la meditacion en Bombay y, por fin, el deseado equilibrio entre cuerpo y espiritu en Bali. Lucida y valiente novela autobiografica que ha sido un gran exito de ventas desde su publicacion en Estados Unidos, Come, reza, ama trata de lo que ocurre cuando decidimos ser artifices de nuestra felicidad y dejamos de intentar vivir segun los modelos que nos imponen. Elegido por el New Tork Times entre los cien libros relevantes de 2006, este diario personal es tambien una intensa y divertida reflexion sobre el amor y las muchas formas que puede adoptar.

 eat, pray, love September 6, 2010
Alma Winters
This autobiographical tale of the writer, who is in my opinion an emotionally unstable woman, at age thirty-five spends a year in three different countries, following a very bad break up and divorce from a marriage. She goes to Italy, a country rich in art, history, music, architecture and incredible scenery, and spends her time ignoring all of this to gorge herself on rich Italian food. Then she travels to India to spend time in an Ashram to contemplate and find God. Finally she flies to Bali, in Indonesia, to study with a medicine man. In this place she meets a man with whom she falls in love.
In this present world there are many love affairs which go sour, many marriages that fall apart, many couples who separate,and many who seek solace and peace with God. However, most people do not have the luxury of traveling to other lands or exotic places to "find" themselves. I felt the author was just taking an ego trip but because she has a reputation as a writer, was able to have her work published. I purchased the book because the title intrigued me. I read it from beginning to end because I kept thinking I would find something worthwhile in it and because I have a policy to finish each book I start. But I was sorely tempted to deposit it in the "round file" after the first few pages. I found nothing to make me either sympathize or empathize with the author.

Que Facil! August 22, 2010

Trabaje en warehouse de una libreria muy famosa, y antes de que saliera ala venta yo ya le habia dado una revisada, cuando salio ala venta fueron muchos ejemplares los que se vendieron mucha la demanda. Me parese que cuando uno tiene dinero puede darse ese lujo, asi que es muy facil ir por el mundo sin preocuparse de lo monerario y adquirir experiencias de esos viajes.
Si yo tubiera dinero haria lo mismo, y me enamoraria en francia, o espa~a, y ahora la autora del libro con todo lo que a vendido se puede ir a la india las veces que quiera y adquirir mas experiencias con todo el dinero que hizo del libro pero esta vez lo tiene por las personas que compraron el libro, y la mayoria fueron de bajos recursos, recordemos que en el mundo hay mas pobresa que gente rica.......... Yo ahorro y ahorro y no puedo ir ni a la playa.
No creeo que sea tan bueno el libro, me parece ami, soy una gran compradora de libros, es en lo que mas gasto mi dinero, pero este no lo compre gracias a que lo hize en mi trabajo, y nada extraordinario es. Es mi opinion.
 Terrible translation August 20, 2010
Fortuna Bellande (Puerto Rico, USA)
I read the book in Spanish, it easy for me since is my mother language. I found the book very bored and I thing the translation made was poor, very poor.
I won't recommend to read this book in Spanish.

Tenia muchos deseos de leer el libro despues de que vi los previews de la pelicula, no queria gastar mucho dinero asi que ordene uno de los libros mas economicos. Tuve una gran sorpresa al recibirlo, es nuevo, esta en perfectas condiciones y la edicion es de muy buena calidad. Estoy muy conforme con mi compra y ya estoy buscando nuevos titulos para mis futuras ordenes.
