› Find signed collectible books: 'Arthur Rimbaud'Book summary:Arthur Rimbaud is remembered as much for his volatile personality and tumultuous life as he is for his writings, most of which he produced before the age of eighteen. This book brings together his poetry, prose, and letters, including "The Drunken Boat," "The Orphans' New Year," "After the Flood," and "A Season in Hell," considered by many to be his. Complete Works is divided into eight "seasons"--Childhood, The Open Road, War, The Tormented Heart, The Visionary, The Damned Soul, A Few Belated Cowardices, and The Man with the Wind at His Heels--that reflect the facets of Rimbaud's life. Insightful commentary by translator and editor Paul Schmidt reveals the courage, vision, and imagination of Rimbaud's poetry and sheds light on one of the most enigmatic figures in letters.

Lo busco en las tinieblas, lo encontro a primera vista entre los tantos y tantos nombres confundibles de es mundo y del otro y lo dejo clavado en la pared con su dardo certero, como a una mariposa cuya sentencia estaba escrita desde siempre. -Santiago Nasar -dijo.>> Basado en un suceso real, la reconstruccion literaria, laberintica y polifonica del ineluctable y brutal asesinato de un hombre en una remota poblacion fluvial caribena significa la apuesta mas arriesgada de Gabriel Garcia Marquez hacia una novela total. Microcosmos tragico, explora el ancestral atavismo de la virgen en la cultura hispanica, donde se entretejen las ideas de la moral publica, el honor familiar y la conciencia de clase, al tiempo que elabora una magistral vuelta de tuerca sobre el indisoluble vinculo entre el amor y la muerte, lo que, junto con el resto de su obra, le valdria a Gabo recibir el Premio Nobel al ano siguiente de sus publicacion.

The Essential Rumiby Coleman Barks, Jalal Al-Din Rumi, John MoyneISBN 0062509594 (0-06-250959-4)
Softcover, Harper San Francisco
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Essential Rumi'Book summary:No translator could do greater justice to the gorgeous simplicity of Rumi's poetry than Coleman Barks has done here. These exquisite renderings of the 13th-century Persian mystic's words into American free verse capture all the "inner searching, the delicacy, and simple groundedness" that characterize Rumi's poetry while remaining faithful to the images, tone, and spiritual message of the originals. Barks's introductions to each of the 27 sections (described as "playful palimpsests spread over Rumi's imagination," and "meant to confuse scholars who would divide Rumi's poetry into the accepted categories") are themselves wonderful achievements of a poetic imagination; searching explanations of unfamiliar concepts and funny stories provide colorful background and frame the selections as no dry historical exegesis could.
While Barks's stamp on this collection is clear, it in no way interferes with the poems themselves; Rumi's voice leaps off these pages with an ecstatic energy that leaves readers breathless. There are poems of love, rage, sadness, pleading, and longing; passionate outbursts about the torture of longing for his beloved and the sweet pleasure that comes from their union; amusing stories of sexual exploits or human weakness; and quiet truths about the beauty and variety of human emotion. More than anything, Rumi makes plain the unbridled joy that comes from living life fully, urging us always to put aside our fears and take the risk to do so. As he says: "The way of love is not / a subtle argument. / The door there is devastation. / Birds make great sky-circles / of their freedom. / How do they learn it? / They fall, and falling, / they're given wings." --Uma Kukathas [via]

Armed only with the invincible innocence of children, the twins Rahel and Esthappen fashion a childhood for themselves in the shade of the wreck that is their family -- their lonely, lovely mother, Ammu (who loves by night the man her children love by day), their blind grandmother, Mammachi (who plays Handel on her violin), their beloved uncle Chacko (Rhodes scholar, pickle baron, radical Marxist, bottom-pincher), their enemy, Baby Kochamma (ex-nun and incumbent grandaunt), and the ghost of an imperial entomologist's moth (with unusually dense dorsal tufts). When their English cousin and her mother arrive on a Christmas visit, the twins learn that Things Can Change in a Day. That lives can twist into new, ugly shapes, even cease forever. The brilliantly plotted story uncoils with an agonizing sense of foreboding and inevitability. Yet nothing prepares you for what lies at the heart of it. [via]

The Heart of Darknessby Joseph Conrad, R. G. HampsonISBN 0140186522 (0-14-018652-2)
Softcover, Penguin Group USA
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Heart of Darkness'Book summary:Joseph Conrad's 'Heart of Darkness' is widely regarded as one of the most significant works of English literature and part of the Western canon. The story was the inspiration for Francis Ford Coppola's 'Apocalypse Now'. This highly symbolic story is actually a story within a story, or frame narrative. It follows Marlow as he recounts, from dusk through to late night, his adventure into the Congo to a group of men aboard a ship anchored in the Thames Estuary. The story details an incident when Marlow, an Englishman, took a foreign assignment as a ferry-boat captain, employed by a Belgian trading company. Although the river is never specifically named, readers may assume it is the Congo River, in the Congo Free State, a private colony of King Leopold II. Marlow is employed to transport ivory downriver; however, his more pressing assignment is to return Kurtz, another ivory trader, to civilization in a cover up. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Portable Dante'Book summary:As a philosopher, Dante wedded classical methods of enquiry to a Christian faith. As an autobiographer, he looked at his own failures to depict universal moral struggles. As a visionary, he dared to draw maps of Hell, Purgatory, and Paradise and populate all three realms with recognizable human beings. As a lover, he became a poet of bereavement and renunciation. As all these things Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) paved the way for modern literature. This volume aims to capture the scope of Dante's genius. It contains complete verse translations of his two masterworks, "The Divine Comedy" and "La Vita Nuova". [via]

Other works include Meditation, a collection of his earlier studies; The Judgement, written in a single night of frenzied creativity; The Stoker, the first chapter of a novel set in America; and A Fasting Artist, a collection of stories written towards the end of Kafka's life. There is also a fascinating occasional piece, The Aeroplanes at Brescia, Kafka's eye-witness account of an air display in 1909. Taken together, these stories reveal the breadth of Kafka's literary vision and the extraordinary imaginative depth of his thought.More editions of The Transformation and Other Stories:

Las amistades peligrosas/ Dangerous Friendshipsby Choderlos De LaclosISBN 8437608333 (84-376-0833-3)
Softcover, Catedra Ediciones

› Find signed collectible books: 'Las amistades peligrosas/ Dangerous Friendships'Book summary:Las amistades peligrosas es una famosa novela epistolar, escrita por Pierre Choderlos de Laclos, que narra el duelo perverso y libertino de dos miembros de la nobleza francesa a finales del siglo XVIII. Fue publicada por primera vez en 1782.
La Marquesa de Merteuil y el Vizconde de Valmont, que en otro tiempo fueron amantes, se aprovechan del mejor modo que pueden de la sociedad puritana y privilegiada en la que viven. Estos dos personajes depravados no dejan de enviarse cartas en las que se cuentan sus hazañas, que constituyen la trama de la historia. Sin embargo, a pesar de ser rivales, no están en igualdad. El vizconde de Valmont, por su condición de hombre, puede hacer alarde de su condición de libertino y gozar incluso por ello de una cierta reputación. Pero no sucede lo mismo con la marquesa. Aunque rival del vizconde en cuanto a aventuras de alcoba, la marquesa de Merteuil, además, está obligada a disimular. Su rango social, matrimonial (es viuda) y su sexo (es mujer en un mundo dominado por los hombres) obliga a que se comporte con doblez y la fuerza al maquiavelismo.
La marquesa, harta de escuchar los alardes de Valmont sobre sus aptitudes seductoras le reta a seducir a la más virtuosa de las mujeres conocidas en la sociedad en la que se desenvuelven, la Presidenta de Tourvel. Si consigue seducirla, la propia marquesa engañará a su actual amante y se entregará a Valmont.
A esta intriga se une el deseo de la marquesa de vengarse de su antiguo amante, Gercourt, que, tras abandonarla, ha decidido casarse y ha buscado para ello a una joven pura, educada en un convento, Cecilia Volanges. Cecilia vive con su madre, escribe cartas a una amiga que ha permanecido en el convento y siente admiración por la marquesa de Merteuil, quien visita a menudo a la familia en compañía del caballero Danceny, del que Cecilia se enamorará.

› Find signed collectible books: 'La Balsa De Piedra/the Stone Raft'Book summary:A large crack along the Pyrenees separates the Iberian Peninsula from the rest of Europe causing Spain and Portugal to become a great floating island. The characters on this great ship made of rock travel endlessly towards a new utopia.
Description in Spanish:
Nosotros también somos ibéricos. De la noche a la mañana Europa apareció cubierta con esta pintada.
"La balsa de piedra" parte de un audaz planteamiento narrativo. Una grieta abierta espontáneamente a lo largo de los Pirineos provoca la separación del continente europeo de toda la península Ibérica, transformándola en una gran isla flotante, moviéndose sin remos ni velas ni hélices en dirección al sur del mundo, camino de una utopía nueva: el encuentro cultural de los pueblos del otro lado del Atlántico, desafiando así el dominio sofocante que Estados Unidos de la América del Norte vienen ejerciendo en aquellos parajes.
Una visión dos veces utópica entendería esta ficción política como una metáfora mucho más generosa y humana: que Europa, toda ella, deberá trasladarse hacia el sur de manera que, en compensación por sus abusos coloniales, antiguos y modernos, ayude a equilibrar el mundo. Es decir, Europa finalmente como ética.
Los personajes de "La balsa de piedra" -dos mujeres, tres hombres y un perro- viajan incansablemente a través de la Península mientras ella va surcando el océano. El mundo está cambiando y ellos sabe que deben buscar en sí mismos las personas nuevas en que se convertirán. Eso les basta. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'LA Casa De Los Espiritus / House of the Spirits'Book summary:Bestseller internacional y muy admirado clásico de la literatura latinoamericana, la trascendental novela de Isabel Allende cuenta la historia épica de la numerosa y turbulenta familia Trueba de Chile, con su patriarca angustiado y sus mujeres clarividentes, trazando sus vidas desde los fines del siglo pasado, hasta los días violentos del golpe que derrocó al gobierno de Salvador Allende en 1973. En La casa de los espíritus, Allende combina lo supernatural con lo real en una versión sumamente personal de realismo mágico. Es raro, el caso, en que una primera novela lanza a su autora tan repentinamente al foro internacionales.

Softcover, Fondo De Cultura Economica USA
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Ficcionario'Book summary:Reading Jorge Luis Borges is an experience akin to having the top of one's head removed for repairs. First comes the unfamiliar breeze tickling your cerebral cortex; then disorientation, even mild discomfort; and finally, the sense that the world has been irrevocably altered--and in this case, rendered infinitely more complex. First published in 1945, his Ficciones compressed several centuries' worth of philosophy and poetry into 17 tiny, unclassifiable pieces of prose. He offered up diabolical tigers, imaginary encyclopedias, ontological detective stories, and scholarly commentaries on nonexistent books, and in the process exploded all previous notions of genre. Would any of David Foster Wallace's famous footnotes be possible without Borges? Or, for that matter, the syntactical games of Perec, the metafictional pastiche of Calvino? For good or for ill, the blind Argentinian paved the way for a generation's worth of postmodern monkey business--and fiction will never be simply "fiction" again.
Its enormous influence on writers aside, Ficciones has also--perhaps more importantly--changed the way that we read. Borges's Pierre Menard, for instance, undertakes the most audacious project imaginable: to create not a contemporary version of Cervantes's most famous work but the Quixote itself, word for word. This second text is "verbally identical" to the original, yet, because of its new associations, "infinitely richer"; every time we read, he suggests, we are in effect creating an entirely new text, simply by viewing it through the distorting lens of history. "A book is not an isolated being: it is a relationship, an axis of innumerable relationships," Borges once wrote in an essay about George Bernard Shaw. "All men who repeat one line of Shakespeare are William Shakespeare," he tells us in "Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius." In this spirit, Borges is not above impersonating, even quoting, himself.
It is hard, exactly, to say what all of this means, at least in any of the usual ways. Borges wrote not with an ideological agenda, but with a kind of radical philosophical playfulness. Labyrinths, libraries, lotteries, doubles, dreams, mirrors, heresiarchs: these are the tokens with which he plays his ontological games. In the end, ideas themselves are less important to him than their aesthetic and imaginative possibilities. Like the idealist philosophers of Tlön, Borges does not "seek for the truth or even for verisimilitude, but rather for the astounding"; for him as for them, "metaphysics is a branch of fantastic literature." --Mary Park [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Nieve'Book summary:A spellbinding tale of disparate yearnings for love, art, power and God. Following years of lonely political exile in Germany, Ka, a middle-aged poet, returns to Istanbul to attend his mothers funeral. Strange news of a wave of suicides lead him to Kars, a remote Turkish town where political Islamism threaten to unravel the secular order. Pamuk creates a stark picture of a too-little known part of the world, illuminating the contradictions gripping the individual and collective heart in many parts of the Muslim world. Description in Spanish: En pleno invierno, un poeta y periodista regresa a su ciudad natal, la remota ciudad de Kars en la frontera de Turquía, después de largos años de exilio político en Europa Occidental. La ciudad que encuentra es un lugar conflictivo: hay una ola de suicidios de chicas a las que se les ha prohibido llevar las cabezas cubiertas a la escuela, los islamistas van a ganar las elecciones locales, y el jefe de los servicios de inteligencia es de una eficiencia brutal. La nueva novela del premiado y prestigioso autor de Me llamo Rojo es un thriller político que retrata las más diversas formas de la ambición -el amor, el arte, el poder, la religión- y desenmascara las contradicciones que aprisionan el corazón humano en muchos lugares del mundo islámico.
