The Chilean coup d' tat of 1973 was a watershed event in the history of Chile. It was also a defining moment in the life of writer Marjorie Agos n. This collection of prose vignettes and free verse draws upon her experiences as a child in Chile, an expatriate abroad, and a minority Jew--even in the land she calls home--to create a striking portrait of a life of exile. The tone of the book varies as it lyrically explores the geography of Chile and weaves into it the themes of exile and oppression. At times the words become hymns to the physical beauty of her country, evoking the grandeur of this land extending to the southernmost tip of the world. At times they are intimate and melancholy, exploring personal and familial history through miniature portraits that reveal the pain of being different. Finally the tone becomes angry as she denounces the injustices committed against her friends and against the families of the disappeared during the seventeen-year dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet. Combining themes of memory, childhood, minority issues, Judaism, and political oppression, this collection contains some of Agos n's strongest work. Of Earth and Sea is a poetic autobiography that explores the world of Chile with eyes that see both despair and hope.Binding Type: Paperback

Missing band adjustment tool
Color: Gold-blue Watch-G9990
It's a beautiful watch just complicated to try to figure out how to shorten the band. They forgot to send a little tool to do it with so now I'm going to have to call Amazon for it

Another OLEVS Watch Has Entered the Collection
Color: Silver-Gold Watch-G5593
At this point I should probably just accept that my husband has turned collecting OLEVS watches into a full blown hobby. This newest one immediately became one of his favorites the second he opened the box. He actually held it up to the light like he was inspecting a rare artifact in a museum.
The silver and gold combination looks incredibly sharp in person. It has that classic luxury style that works beautifully with dress clothes, but honestly it also looked nice with jeans and a polo shirt. The large Roman numerals give it a timeless look that feels elegant without looking old fashioned.
One thing my husband really liked was the size of the face. At 41mm, it stands out nicely without looking oversized or cartoonishly huge. The numbers are easy to read, which is becoming more important around this stage of life whether he admits it or not. The luminous scales are also handy because apparently checking the time in a dark room is now a mandatory husband activity.
The watch feels solid and well made too. It has a nice weight to it that makes it feel more expensive than it is, and the band feels sturdy without being uncomfortable. He wore it all day right out of the box and had zero complaints, which honestly deserves its own award.
The day and date display is another feature he enjoys because he somehow asks me what day it is at least three times a week despite owning multiple watches that literally tell him the answer.
We have had really good luck with OLEVS watches overall. They hold up nicely, look polished, and always get compliments. This one especially has that clean classic businessman style that catches attention without screaming for it.
If you are looking for a handsome watch that looks high end without the painful luxury price tag, this is a great choice. Apparently good enough to convince my husband he absolutely needed yet another watch in the collection.
