Etienne Arceneaux, a Louisiana game warden and lifelong son of the bayou, is used to quiet patrols, half-full ice chests, and the occasional drunk fisherman. But when he finds an abandoned skiff stuck on an oyster bed—gear intact, no sign of struggle—something feels wrong. Then he realizes it belonged to Ben, a childhood friend he hasn’t seen in years. A good fisherman. As Tee begins to ask questions, the answers grow darker: fishermen going missing, shrimpers whispering about boats running at night, and bodies turning up in pieces—picked apart by more than crabs.

Even before Spain joined the war in early 1762, it was obvious that it wouldn’t have the strategic effect that the cousins, King Louis and King Charles, had hoped. France needed a success to bring Britain to the negotiating table: nothing grand—Louis didn’t have the force for that—but something that would hurt the City of London in its pocket. A raid on the Newfoundland fisheries would have an immediate financial impact. In normal times the dried cod provided an important dietary supplement to the population of the Atlantic basin and a steady stream of gold for the City’s coffers.

"Imbuidos de afán de no dejar morir el bagaje de la imaginación africana, de la imaginación negra, de la imaginación que no sale de leer ni escribir, Amalialú y yo nos encontramos. Es seguro que los cuentos del Chocó no son africanos, son chocoanos, pero, aunque en algo del fondo, sí lo son. También son africanos. Son negros. Son nuestros". Por Arnoldo Palacios

… Un morto, che pure è un morto, caro mio, vuole anche lui la sua casa. E se è un morto per bene, bella la vuole; e ha ragione! Da starci comodo, e di marmo la vuole, e decorata anche. E se poi è un morto che può spendere, la vuole anche con qualche profonda… come si dice? allegoria, già!, con qualche profonda allegoria d’un grande scultore come me: una bella lapide latina: HIC JACET… chi fu, chi non fu… un bel giardinetto attorno, con l’insalatina e tutto...

Cuando Marcos era pequeño le dejaba cartas a su madre antes de ir a la escuela. Ahora se aparece en sus sueños, porque le quiere contar a qué lugar lo llevaron… cuando lo desaparecieron. Ada está en una carrera contra el tiempo, porque teme morir antes de encontrarlo, pero de una cosa está segura: tiene que buscarlo en un árbol.

In his seventh poetry collection, Jon Davis exhibits the range and mastery that is the result of fifty years of study, teaching, and practice. Above the Bejeweled City opens and closes with homages to Federico Garcia Lorca’s dream-struck ballad “Romance Sonámbulo.” In between, he inhabits what the philosopher Maurice Merleau-Ponty calls the “inexplicable existence” that marks our passage here on Earth.

West 86th Street knows its desserts. It’s the 1970s, and poppyseed strudel, praline ice cream cake, and New York cheesecake are as integral to Manhattan’s Upper West Side as clustered pigeons, suited doormen, and greasy diners. That is, until Cato comes to town. Cato the Elder, a Roman born in 234 BCE, is credited with the earliest written recipe ever found. A recipe for . . . cheesecake. No cream cheese, no graham cracker crust, somehow savory and sweet, the recipe is enigmatic—and suddenly, it’s all anyone on West 86th Street can talk about.

Der große Gelehrte und Poet Dschalal ad-Din Rumi war einer der ersten, der einzelne Erzählungen im Anatolien des 13. Jahrhunderts aufzeichnete, um sie seinen Schriften zur Seite zu stellen.

Voi, ch'ascoltate in queste meste rime, in questi mesti, in questi oscuri accenti il suon degli amorosi miei lamenti e de le pene mie tra l'altre prime, ove fia chi valor apprezzi e stime, gloria, non che perdon, de' miei lamenti spero trovar fra le ben nate genti, poi che la lor cagione è sì sublime.
