Welcome to the City of Sin, where casino families reign, gangs infest the streets...and secrets hide in every shadow. Enne Salta was raised as a proper young lady, and no lady would willingly visit New Reynes, the so-called City of Sin. But when her mother goes missing, Enne must leave her finishing school--and her reputation--behind to follow her mother's trail to the city where no one survives uncorrupted. Frightened and alone, Enne has only one lead: the name Levi Glaisyer. Unfortunately, Levi is not the gentleman she expected--he's a street lord and con man running a rapidly unraveling investment scheme. Enne's offer of compensation, however, could be the solution to all his problems. As Enne unearths an impossible secret about her past, Levi's enemies catch up to them, ensnaring him in a vicious execution game where the players always lose. To save him, Enne will need to surrender herself to the city... And she'll need to play.

A Novel

This powerful and moving novel from the New York Times bestselling author of A Long Petal of the Sea and Violeta weaves together past and present, tracing the ripple effects of war and immigration on one child in Europe in 1938 and another in the United States in 2019. Vienna, 1938. Samuel Adler is five years old when his father disappears during Kristallnacht—the night his family loses everything. As her child’s safety becomes ever harder to guarantee, Samuel’s mother secures a spot for him on a Kindertransport train out of Nazi-occupied Austria to England. He boards alone, carrying nothing but a change of clothes and his violin. Arizona, 2019. Eight decades later, Anita Díaz and her mother board another train, fleeing looming danger in El Salvador and seeking refuge in the United States. But their arrival coincides with the new family separation policy, and seven-year-old Anita finds herself alone at a camp in Nogales. She escapes her tenuous reality through her trips to Azabahar, a magical world of the imagination. Meanwhile, Selena Durán, a young social worker, enlists the help of a successful lawyer in hopes of tracking down Anita’s mother. Intertwining past and present, The Wind Knows My Name tells the tale of these two unforgettable characters, both in search of family and home. It is both a testament to the sacrifices that parents make and a love letter to the children who survive the most unfathomable dangers—and never stop dreaming.

Introducing the Witcher

Soon to be a major Netflix original series! Geralt the Witcher -- revered and hated -- holds the line against the monsters plaguing humanity in this collection of adventures in the NYT bestselling series that inspired the blockbuster video games. Geralt is a Witcher, a man whose magic powers, enhanced by long training and a mysterious elixir, have made him a brilliant fighter and a merciless assassin. Yet he is no ordinary murderer: his targets are the multifarious monsters and vile fiends that ravage the land and attack the innocent. But not everything monstrous-looking is evil and not everything fair is good...and in every fairy tale there is a grain of truth. Andrzej Sapkowski, winner of the World Fantasy Lifetime Achievement award, started an international phenomenon with his Witcher series. The Last Wish short story collection is the perfect introduction to this one of a kind fantasy world.

A Psychological Approach to Character and Conflict in Literature

One of literature's greatest gifts is its portrayal of realistically drawn characters--human beings in whom we can recognize motivations and emotions. In Imagined Human Beings, Bernard J. Paris explores the inner conflicts of some of literature's most famous characters, using Karen Horney's psychoanalytic theories to understand the behavior of these characters as we would the behavior of real people.
When realistically drawn characters are understood in psychological terms, they tend to escape their roles in the plot and thus subvert the view of them advanced by the author. A Horneyan approach both alerts us to conflicts between plot and characterization, rhetoric and mimesis, and helps us understand the forces in the author's personalty that generate them. The Horneyan model can make sense of thematic inconsistencies by seeing them as the product of the author's inner divisions. Paris uses this approach to explore a wide range of texts, including Antigone, "The Clerk's Tale," The Merchant of Venice, A Doll's House, Hedda Gabler, Great Expectations, Jane Eyre, The Mayor of Casterbridge, Wuthering Heights, Madame Bovary, The Awakening, and The End of the Road.

Queen of the Starry Heavens. Queen of the Gods.Bearer of the Lotus Staff. Bearer of the Pomegranate.Goddess of Marriage. Goddess of Women.Mistress of the Spring Rains. Mistress of the Golden Apples.Lady of the Cuckoo and the Peacock.Maligned in scholarship and modern popular culture as the shrewish wife of Zeus, Hera was much loved in ancient Greece. Worship of the Queen of the Milky Way spread from Argos to the sacred isle of Samos, from the mountains of Asia Minor to the shores of Carthage, from the hills of Rome to the banks of the Thames. The Protector of Women and the Guardian of Marriage, She was also called White-Armed and Cow-Eyed as the Goddess of Cattle. The mother of Ares, Eileithyia, Hebe, Hephaestus, and the monstrous Typhaon, Hera championed such heroes as Jason and the Argonauts while driving others - most notably Herakles - to madness and greatness.The Roman Iuno (or Juno), often considered to be the same Goddess as Hera, has even less in common with the petty, jealous stereotype. One of the Capitoline Triad, Iuno was honored by the Romans as a great Goddess of civilization, of war, of government and law, of marriage and health and childbirth.Today, devotees of Hera and Iuno are reviving their worship. In the pages of this anthology, we share our love of the Mother of Gods and Men. In poems and hymns, essays and rituals, artwork and music, we explore the nature of this most complex and glorious Goddess, she who is Queen of Olympos.

Blood and Gold 

Una novela cargada de suspense y cálidamente erótica sobre el amor, el adulterio, la explotación de la sexualidad y la violencia

El coronel cubano Arturo Gómez está en Angola peleando al frente de las tropas desplegadas en Cabinda. Llega hasta su despacho el capitán y viejo amigo Eduardo Berti con un sobre amarillo. Habitualmente, esos sobres amarillos se utilizan para notificar oficialmente que la esposa ha cometido adulterio. De acuerdo con las rígidas normas éticas del Ejército y del Partido comunista, un dirigente no puede aceptar esa situación ni perdonar a su cónyuge. El coronel tiene que regresar de inmediato a La Habana para enfrentarse a su cónyuge y disolver el matrimonio.

Nuria Garcés es la esposa de Arturo Gómez, Psicóloga de familia y profesora de la Universidad de La Habana. Tiene 40 años y es atractiva e inteligente. Un día recibe en su casa la visita de un oficial de contrainteligencia que viene a notificarle que han descubierto que ella ha engañado a su marido con un profesor italiano, Valerio Martinelli, durante su reciente visita a Roma. Le cuenta que ya ha sido separada de su cátedra y le advierte que su marido, que ya conoce lo sucedido, está volando desde Angola para hablar con ella.

A partir de ese instante se cuentan las relaciones entre Nuria y el profesor Martinelli en Roma. Martinelli es un hombre de sesenta años, atractivo y un erotómano consumado. Como neurolingüista, se ha especializado en las relaciones entre el lenguaje y el erotismo. Tiene una agitada vida afectiva con varios matrimonios y otros tantos fracasos y aventuras.

Como parte de los juegos eróticos a los que se entregan, Martinelli le escribe a Nuria unas cartas muy cálidas y descriptivas desbordadas de erotismo. Quiere excitarla y, como neurofisiólogo y neurolingüista, desea saber con cuánta intensidad ha logrado su propósito. Martinelli y Nuria creen que esas cartas nunca serán leídas por una tercera persona...
