Tradiciones Peruanaa, una serie de relatos cortos y satiricos en los que se mexcian fantasia y realidad, son las obras mas conocidas del escritor limeno Ricardo Palma. Publicados entre 1870 y 1919, las Tradiciones nos envuelven en la historia peruana desde los Incas hasta el Peru republicano. Como obra literara, representa una de las mas ricas contribuciones a la lengua espanola.

On the advice of a five-dollar psychic, Tina Martin, a zany, overworked mother of two, quits her high-powered job and moves her family to Shanghai. Tina yearns for this new setting to bring her the zen-like inner peace she’s always heard about on infomercials. Instead, she becomes a totally exasperated fish out of water. Fish Heads and Duck Skin will resonate with anyone who has ever wondered who they are, why they were put here, and how they ever lived before eating pan-fried pork buns.
