UNA SOCIEDAD QUE SE RESISTE AL FIN DE UNA ÉPOCA

Algunas novelas tienen el poder de reflejar la vida en todo su esplendor, trasladarnos a una época prodigiosa, captar el instante preciso en el que todo estaba a punto de cambiar. Esta es una de esas novelas.

UNA MUJER EN BUSCA DE SU PROPIO DESTINO

Micaela es una joven maestra que llega a Comillas, uno de los pueblos más elegantes de la costa cántabra, en el verano de 1883. Allí conoce a Héctor Balboa, un indiano que acaba de regresar de Cuba tras amasar una gran fortuna y está construyendo una escuela para los hijos -y no las hijas- de los aldeanos. Micaela empieza entonces su batalla para que también las niñas puedan recibir la educación que merecen y necesitan, al tiempo que entre ella y Héctor va surgiendo una atracción capaz de derribar todas las barreras.

EL MUNDO ESTÁ CAMBIANDO Y NADIE PODRÁ IMPEDIRLO

Ambientada a finales del siglo XIX, en un momento histórico decisivo y lleno de contrastes, Un destino propio nos habla de aquellas primeras mujeres valientes que se atrevieron a alzar la voz contra una sociedad que se negaba a escucharlas.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

For fans of María Dueñas and Luz Gabás, the story of a woman searching for a destiny of her own in a society that refuses to admit the end of an era.

Santander, 1883. Micaela Moreau, a twenty-nine-year-old «spinster», goes to spend the summer in the home of her wealthy aunt and uncle with the idea of seeking employment at a school for young women. Once there, she discovers that a school is on the verge of opening, but for boys only. While Micaela travels through the villages trying to convince the villagers that their daughters should go to school as well, she meets Héctor Balboa, the benefactor who is funding the school.

And as Micaela persuades Hector of the importance of giving girls an education, an attraction between them becomes ever harder to control

Good Basic Chair with a Few Drawbacks
Color: Black
I bought this Amazon Basics office task chair for my boyfriend who works from home. Overall, it’s a decent, simple chair that gets the job done for everyday use, especially if you just need something functional and affordable. However, there are a couple of downsides. The recline doesn’t go back as much as he would like, so it’s not ideal if you prefer to lean back and relax between tasks. Also, after about a month of use, the wheels don’t glide as smoothly as they did at first, which can be a bit frustrating when rolling across the floor. Overall, it’s a solid basic chair for light use, but if you want something with a deeper recline or super smooth mobility long-term, you might want to consider other options. Still a reasonable purchase depending on your needs.

Had for just over 9 years now and still pretty solid
Color: Black
I ordered this chair back in December 2015 for our front office, and it's been moved to our back shop where we fabricate. We're not a gentle work space by any stretch of the imagination; we build stuff and it's messy, lots of tools etc. This chair has held up surprisingly well! The faux leather is delaminating almost entirely on the seat but honestly, I'd expect that for faux leather on something that is used daily. The seat pad, in my opinion, has gotten de-poofed. So it's not plush anymore but still usable. I've asked the guy that's using it if they want an upgrade/update and they said they like it and don't want to change it out just yet. That's saying something! The size is nice and wide. We've had a range of differently sized folks sit in the chair over the years and the seat was always comfortable (less now without so much seat poof), I was able to sit cross-legged and the whole chair felt sturdy then as it does now. All of the standards functions you'd want an office chair to do, it can still do: it goes up and down smoothly, it rolls just fine, it's still pivot-reclines comfortably and doesn't feel like it's going to topple. I like it!

Good enough
Color: Black
Comfortable chair. Easy to put together. Allen nuts aren't cut perfectly so sometimes hard to get the wrench in there. My biggest complaint, and I didn't even realize this until I sat down in it, the arm rests are not adjustable and they are a little short for my liking.

I love it!
Color: Black
This chair is so comfy! I also love that it goes up super high (as a tall man it's nice to have the kicking my feet sensation... Lol). It's wider than I imagined and it the first chair with arms that I can fit in as an almost 500 pound dude. The lumbar support is nice and also adjustable, too. The wheels are high quality and move you fast. It was pretty easy to put together, but deff get help from someone to hold pieces in place
