While a good portion of the book is devoted to details of economics, described in such a style as to blend in with the fiction, the main plot of the novel centers around the Shah of Iran - considered a fool by some, a madman by others. The Shah's plan to take over the middle east involves obtaining nuclear weapons by hiring the best scientist in the field. Complications ensue when Hitchcock finds himself romantically involved with this scientist's daughter, and slowly begins to pick up on the details of the Shah's plan. "

Now, available for the first time in this country, comes one of Cookson's earliest and most stirring historical romances: The Fifteen Streets. John O'Brien lives in a world where surviving is a continual struggle. He works long hours at the docks to help support his parents' large family. Many other families in the Fifteen Streets have already given up and descended into a dismal state of grinding poverty, but the O'Briens continue to strive for a world they are only rarely allowed to glimpse. Then John O'Brien meets Mary Llewellyn, a beautiful young teacher who belongs to that other world. What begins as a casual conversation over tea quickly blossoms into a rare love that should have been perfect. Fate steps in, however, when John is accused of fathering the child of a local girl, and Mary's parents forbid her to see him. The couple begins to realize that the gulf of the Fifteen Streets between them is a chasm they could never bridge -- or might they still find a way? In these pages Catherine Cookson displays the irresistible plotting, scene-setting, and characterization that have made her a recognized master of historical and romance fiction. Fans of her novels, with their larger themes of romantic love and class conflict, will be delighted to find that even at the beginning of her illustrious career, Cookson had the power to captivate audiences. Filled with passion and compelling drama, The Fifteen Streets is a rare treat for lovers of romantic fiction.

 In "The Establishment", Howard Fast pulls the listener into the turbulent and passionate lives of the Dan Lavette family story begun in "The Immigrants" and continued in "Second Generation". Howard Fast again brings to life a cast of characters whose lives become a portrait of their time. Listeners will witness the events in the lives of the children of Dan Lavette: Follow daughter Barbara Lavette, a strong and magnetic personality, from tragedy to final fulfillment; observe the elder son, Tom, as he quests for and finally succumbs to his own unscrupulous drive for power; and feel the conflict as the younger son, Joe, struggles between dedication to his medical work to the poor and having no emotional strength left for his beautiful wife left alone.

Second generation by Howard Fast
BUY / COMPRAR
 
 With the publication of The Immigrants, "a most wonderful book," according to Harlan Ellison in the Los Angeles Times, Howard Fast once again proved himself to be one of this country's most popular authors.  In Second Generation, Fast continues the story of Dan Lavette, the young Italian who lost his parents but launched a stormy and brilliant career as a result of the great San Francisco earthquake of 1906. This latest chapter encompasses the dramatic sweep of history from the Depression years to the close of World War II.  In this classic novel the central figure is Barbara Lavette, the beautiful daughter of Dan and his aristocratic first wife, Jean. Troubled by the conflicts of her dual inheritance and scornful of her mother's social world, Barbara sets out to build her own life in her own way -- a way that leads her to a Europe on the brink of Na zi terror, to love and tragedy, to the farthest reaches of a global war, and ultimately to a deeper understanding of herself.  It is the rare novelist who can create a world with such empathy and compassion that the reader actually comes to share the loves and emotions of its characters. Howard Fast is one of them.

N BY E by Rockwell Kent - First Edition

N by E

by Rockwell Kent
New York Brewer & Warren - 1930
FIRST EDITION
HARD COVER


COMPRAR AQUI
o escribiendo a ayconstanza@gmail.com






When artist, illustrator, writer, and adventurer Rockwell Kent first published N by E in a limited edition in 1930, his account of a voyage on a 33-foot cutter from New York Harbor to the rugged shores of Greenland quickly became a collectors' item. Little wonder, for readers are immediately drawn to Kent's vivid descriptions of the experience; we share "the feeling of wind and wet and cold, of lifting seas and steep descents, of rolling over as the wind gusts hit," and the sound "of wind in the shrouds, of hard spray flung on a drum-tight canvas, of rushing water at the scuppers, of the gale shearing a tormented sea."


When the ship sinks in a storm-swept fjord within 50 miles of its destination, the story turns to the stranding and subsequent rescue of the three-man crew, salvage of the vessel, and life among native Greenlanders. Magnificently illustrated by Kent's wood-block prints and narrated in his poetic and highly entertaining style, this tale of the perils of killer nor'easters, treacherous icebergs, and impenetrable fog -- and the joys of sperm whales breaching or dawn unmasking a longed-for landfall -- is a rare treat for old salts and landlubbers alike.

ROCKWELL KENT (1882-1971) was one of America’s most celebrated graphic artists. At the height of his career, during the 1930’s and 1940’s, Kent’s artwork appeared virtually everywhere. Although his illustrations for The Complete Works of William Shakespeare and Moby Dick are perhaps his most famous artistic achievements, Kent also created the “random house” that, despite revision through the years, has been the colophon of that company since its inception in 1928. A highly vocal political activist, Kent’s refusal to comply with McCarthy’s Committee on Un-American Activities and his subsequent denunciation of the Vietnam War resulted in his general dismissal from the art world. Kent’s travel books, which include Wilderness, Voyaging, N by E, Salamina , and Greenland Journal, have all appeared in limited editions since his death-a tribute to their perennial appeal.

de Jose Maria Vargas Vila
Adela, la protagonista, recuerda de cerca la figura del ángel caído. Es víctima inocente de la sociedad que la abandona; hija de una aventura juvenil del maestro que no la reconoce y una cortesana, representa no un caso más de perversión femenina sino el acto de insubordinación presente en todo acto de creación; no es la madre bondadosa, sino la energía arrolladora que trasiende la nocion de bien y de mal; su hermosura no pertenece a los mecanismos ideológicosque regulan el erotismo y la sexualidad.

José María Vargas Vila

(Bogotá, 1860 - Barcelona, 1933) Escritor colombiano. Con estudios incompletos, se dedicó al periodismo y a la política. Entre las publicaciones que fundó sobresale la revista Némesis, que redactó y dio a la imprenta en Nueva York y en París. Combatió las reformas del presidente Rafael Núñez y tomó parte como secretario del general Daniel Hernández en la revolución de 1884, en la que los radicales fueron aplastados; escondido, José María Vargas escribió sus Pinceladas sobre la última revolución de Colombia: siluetas bélicas, y se refugió en Venezuela, de donde pasó a Estados Unidos.
Vuelto a Venezuela en 1893, fue secretario del presidente Crespo, a cuya caída volvió a emigrar. Nueva York, París, Barcelona, Madrid, Roma y Venecia fueron las ciudades donde residió en diversas etapas de su vida; representó como cónsul al Ecuador en Roma (1894) y a Nicaragua en Madrid (1904), pero en 1923, en plena y discutida gloria, recorrió diversos países de América dando conferencias.
No destacó en su poesía (Pasiosarias) y escribió veintitantas novelas, algunas de las cuales fueron muy leídas, como Aura o las violetas (1887), Flor de fango (1895), Ibis (1900), Las rosas de la tarde (1900) y El cisne blanco, novela psicológica (1917), pero que difícilmente resistirían una crítica seria desde diversos ángulos, pese a las discutibles calidades de su estilo.
Más estimable es su sinceridad demoledora, en busca de una mayor libertad y una mejor justicia, aunque siempre con las infecundas características del francotirador, en sus ensayos, como Césares en la decadencia y La muerte del cóndor, a los que podemos añadir Los providenciales (1892), recogidos después en Los divinos y los humanos (1904), Ante los bárbaros (1902) y Laureles rojos (1906). Dejó también, entre otros muchos escritos, un trabajo sobre Rubén Darío (1917); una Memoria inédita y algunos cuentos en Mis mejores cuentos, que publicó en 1922.

De raíz romántica, formación modernista y temperamento rebelde, atrabilario y egocéntrico, admiró a D'Annunzio y a Nietzsche, pero no supo tomar de ellos lo mejor. Sin embargo, su obsesión liberal y estética, movida por su frustrada ambición creadora, dan a su obra un interés indudable, que podrá discutirse, pero que no se puede silenciar en el estudio de las letras hispanoamericanas.

LA PASION segun Jeanette Winterson

La pasión

Jeannette Winterson
Traduccion de Elena Ruis
EDITORIAL SUDAMERICANA - Buenos Aires - 1989

A LA VENTA EN www.ayconstanza.com 

Es la Europa de Napoleón, un fanático no sólo del Imperio sino del pollo. Henri es uno de sus numerosos cocineros y se convertirá en el preferido del emperador. Vilanelle es la hija de un remero en Venecia, que heredó sus pies, con los dedos unidos por membranas. “Les cuento historias. Créanme”, repiten uno y otro, protagonistas de sus propias y paralelas aventuras. Mientras Vilanelle se gana la vida como croupier en la ciudad de los canales, vestida de muchacho —donde conocerá a una enigmática mujer que le robará el corazón—, Henri se muestra como un hombre tan apasionado como Napoleón. La indagación en los sentimientos, el presente, se da en frases, pensamientos, a veces en forma de aforismos: “La pasión está en algún lugar entre el miedo y el sexo”. La pasión recibió el premio John Llewellyn Rhys como mejor novela histórica en 1987. Hay una adaptación para cine que sigue esperando a el/la director/a que se le anime.

Jeanette Winterson (1959 - ????)



Jeanette Winterson nació en Manchester el 27 de agosto de 1959, y fue adoptada por una pareja de Pentecostales. Su padre adoptivo trabajaba en una fábrica y su madre se quedaba en casa. La pareja la crió en una atmósfera evangélica. En su hogar la lectura y el conocimiento que no provinieran de la Biblia eran visto con malos ojos y sus padres pretendían que Winterson se convirtiera en misionera, dado su temprano talento para escribir y dar sermones.
A los 16 años Winterson llegó a tener problemas con su Iglesia, después de enamorarse de otra joven, estas diferencias irreconciliables la llevaron a dejar su hogar. Vivió en diferentes lugares manteniéndose con muchos trabajos extraños como manejando una camioneta de helados, como conserje en un hospital psiquiátrico y preparando cadáveres en una funeraria, experiencias a las que hace referencia en sus libros.
En 1981 terminó su educación en St. Catherine’s Collage y recibió su Licenciatura en Artes. Luego de graduarse se mudó a Londres donde trabajó en el Teatro Roundhouse y en el negocio editorial. A los 23 años escribió Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit, una mezcla de autobiografía y ficción en la que *representa la mente absolutista de un grupo de Cristianos Fundamentalistas y la Homofobia de las mujeres de la congregación *. Un año después, en 1985, la novela fue publicada y ganó el Premio Whitbread a la Mejor Primera Novela de Ficción. Ese mismo año publicó un libro de historietas con fotografías titulado Boating for Beginners, una sátira de la historia de Noé y su arca.
En 1987, después de trabajar unos años en la editorial Pandora Press, publicó la novela de realismo mágico The Passion que cuenta la historia de Henri, un joven que es enviado a luchar en las guerras Napoleónicas y una mujer travesti con pies deformes. La novela ganó el Premio John Llewelyn Rhys Memorial Prize a mejor escritor menor de treinta y cinco años.
Luego publica Sexing the Cherry en 1989, en la que también desarrolla el realismo mágico. La novela trata sobre Jordan, un huérfano encontrado flotando en el Rio Tamesis y su guardiana, La Mujer Perro, una criatura monstruosa con un poderoso gancho derecho y un amplio vocabulario. Con esta novela ganó el premio E. M. Forster Award de la Academia Norteamericana de Artes y Letras.
En 1990 Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit fue llevada a la pantalla por la BBC y dirigida por Beeban Kidron.
En 1992 publica Written on the Body, una historia sobre una persona (sin nombre y sin genero) que se enamora de una mujer casada llamada Louise. Louise deja a su esposo pero cuando descubre que tiene cancer, deja a su amante también.
Además de estas novelas Winterson ha escrito y publicado varios ensayos e historias cortas, además de recibir varios premios. En en el 2006 Winterson fue premiada con un OBE por Servicios a la Literatura.
Actualmente Jeannette vive en Gloucestershire en una pequeña casa en el bosque. Cuando no está ahí, vive sobre su tienda de comida orgánica, Verde’s en Londres, en una casa construida en 1790.
