La poesía de Cristina Rivera Garza reunida por primera vez en un sólo volumen.

Mention the name Niccolò Machiavelli and you might unleash a powerful response-even among people who have never read a word of his writing. The word "Machiavellian" conjures up images of an indistinct figure quietly making his way through the darkest corridors of power; a cold-blooded political liar; or a coolly practical leader - amoral at best - willing to do whatever is necessary in a world governed not by ideas of right or wrong, but by solutions dictated by realpolitik.

The Sorrows of Young Werther was Goethe's first major success, turning him from an unknown into a celebrated author practically overnight. Napoleon Bonaparte considered it one of the great works of European literature.

The crônica, a literary genre peculiar to Brazilian newspapers, allows writers, or even soccer stars, to address a wide readership on any theme they like. Chatty, mystical, intimate, flirtatious, and revelatory, Clarice Lispector’s pieces for the Saturday edition of Rio’s leading paper, the Jornal do Brasil, from 1967 to 1973, take the forms of memories, essays, aphorisms, and serialized stories. Endlessly delightful, her insights make one sit up and think, whether about children or social ills or pets or society women or the business of writing or love.

Ao passear por cartas, letras de música, poemas e crônicas, o livro mostra as muitas facetas do poeta em sua lavra romântica. Vinicius de Moraes reinventou o amor. O tema parecia velho quando ele aliou a poesia dos livros à música popular, trazendo o amor para o centro das atenções como...

Sayon Hughes, a young Black man from Bristol, dreams of a world far removed from the one in which he was raised. Far removed from the torn slips outside the bookie's, the burnt spoons and the crooked solutions his community embraces; most of all, removed from the Christianity of his uncaring parents and the prejudice of law-makers.

"El cañaveral ya no existe, lo han desmontado, y por donde pasaban las vías, ahora, hay un camino nuevo, una diagonal, que parece más bien una herida cerrada. Parece, ese camino, entonces, el recuerdo de un tajo, irremediable, en la tierra". Desde la puerta de la peluquería frente a la Glaxo, Vardemann había observado durante días como una cuadrilla de obreros levantaba las vías del tren. Ya no más ese sonido capaz de tapar hasta el ruido de un balazo, ni aquel previo a la detención, "tan estridente que hace doler las muelas. Sólo una primitiva calma".

Dieses nach Nietzsche "tiefste Buch, das die Menschheit besitzt", nimmt vom ersten Moment an gefangen durch seine hymnische Sprache. Die Gedanken, eigentlich "Übergedanken", tanzen sich mit ihrem Rhythmus und ihrer Musikalität unmerklich in das Bewusstsein des Hörers hinein. Und was für Gedanken! – Gott ist tot – und damit die Idee von den Menschen, die alle gleich sind. Der Mensch, wie er heute ist, muss überwunden werden durch den "Übermenschen", der ein Schaffender und ein Wollender ist. Der neue Mensch ist ein sich selbst Liebender und ein vom Willen zur Macht über sich selbst Beseelter.

Tania Ganitsky y Sandra Restrepo reconstruyen el fin del mundo a partir del fin del cuerpo. Estos 38 poemas hablan de la traición de las manos que dejan de escribir y quedan a oscuras: "a oscuras sin imaginación, / que es como hubiera descrito el infierno / si lo hubiera escrito yo". Sandra Restrepo dibuja paisajes desolados, recorta espacios vacíos y extiende hilos que conectan.

«La mujer alta» es un relato de terror sobrenatural de Pedro Antonio de Alarcón, incluido en sus Narraciones inverosímiles. En una reunión de amigos en la sierra, uno de ellos, Gabriel, cuenta la historia más inquietante que ha oído: la de Telesforo, un ingeniero joven, exitoso y racional que afirma haber sido perseguido por una presencia imposible. Telesforo confiesa que siempre ha sentido un miedo irracional a encontrarse con una mujer sola en la calle a altas horas de la noche.

My Mind My Hand Writes is a deeply personal collection of over 137 poems written over the course of forty years. In this volume, I share the reflections, questions, and truths that have lived within me—from the streets of New Orleans to the mountains of New Mexico, the retreats of upstate New York, the deserts of Utah, and across oceans to South Korea, New Zealand, and India. This is not just a book of poetry—it is a life's journey set to verse. The very first poem I wrote was inspired by my daughter, Asha Iman McAfee, whose radiant spirit lives in every part of this book.
