Working from the definitive Spanish edition of El llano en llamas established by the Fundación Juan Rulfo, Ilan Stavans and co-translator Harold Augenbram present fresh translations of the original fifteen stories, as well as two more stories that have not appeared in English before-“The Legacy of Matilde Arcángel” and “The Day of the Collapse.” The translators have artfully preserved the author’s “peasantisms,” in appreciation of the distinctive voices of his characters. To introduce a new generation of readers to Rulfo’s unsurpassable literary talents, this new translation repositions the collection as a classic of world literature. They are also astonishing examples of artistic distillation.” According to Ilan Stavans, the stories’ “depth seems almost inexhaustible: with a few strokes, Rulfo creates a complex human landscape defined by desolation. First translated into English in 1967 as The Burning Plain, these starkly realistic stories create a psychologically acute portrait of poverty and dignity in the countryside at a time when Mexico was undergoing rapid industrialization following the upheavals of the Revolution. Juan Rulfo is one of the most important writers of twentieth-century Mexico, though he wrote only two books-the novel Pedro Páramo (1955) and the short story collection El llano en llamas (1953).

He is seen as a morbid, mysterious figure lurking in the shadows of moonlit cemeteries or crumbling castles. Just as the bizarre characters in Poe’s stories have captured the public imagination so too has Poe himself. Poe’s reputation today rests primarily on his tales of terror as well as on his haunting lyric poetry. He is widely acknowledged as the inventor of the modern detective story and an innovator in the science fiction genre, but he made his living as America’s first great literary critic and theoretician. This versatile writer’s oeuvre includes short stories, poetry, a novel, a textbook, a book of scientific theory, and hundreds of essays and book reviews. His works have been in print since 1827 and include such literary classics as The Tell-Tale Heart, The Raven, and The Fall of the House of Usher. The name Poe brings to mind images of murderers and madmen, premature burials, and mysterious women who return from the dead.

Prepare to laugh, cringe and empathize-and add your own in the comment section if you have one. Scroll down to soak them up like that last bite of olive oil-drenched pita. That’s what it feels like to read the below round-up of quotes from a whole bunch of people who generously recounted the stories of their most memorable one-night stands to Man Repeller. You know those special summer evenings out with friends where you all stay out a little later than you originally intended, and maybe order one more round of Aperol Spritzes and hummus with pita bread for the table than you thought you would, and all of a sudden everyone is feeling warm and loose and in the mood to faux-whisper the tales of their most thrilling (or embarrassing or weird or funny) romantic encounters? Which is why I’m thrilled to reshare the below story, originally published in August 2018, in honor of peak single season. As someone who has never partaken in a true one-night stand, I’m never not interested in hearing about them in exquisite detail. Naomi Mitchison published her first novel, The Conquered, in 1923.

The only recent comic I’ve read with art as bold is probably Black Science. Directed by Paul Louise-Julie, Yohance hopes to fill the void of not having high fantasy & mythology aesthetically and culturally inspired exclusively by African Culture. I’m hungry for a longer story, a graphic novel, or what have you.īecause it’s a single issue, and there’s just not that much actual content, the star here becomes the art. It’s kind of a ‘Mission: Impossible’ story. In this issue, he’s hunting the Ekangeni Crystal. This first issue introduces us to Yohance, an adventurer with a spaceship and a robot pal. With Yohance, Paul Louise-Julie has embraced the genre and looked at it through an African lens. And I’m always looking out for a new or interesting take on the genre. I’m a long time lover of Science Fiction and Space Opera, and when I finally got into comics in my late 20s, it was largely through the Space Opera Metabarons. In Freakonomics, Levitt and Dubner argue that economics is, at root, the study of incentives. The book is a collection of articles written by Levitt, an economist who had gained a reputation for applying economic theory to diverse subjects not usually covered by "traditional" economists. Based on the success of the original book, Levitt and Dubner have grown the Freakonomics brand into a multi-media franchise, with a sequel book, a feature film, a regular radio segment on National Public Radio, and a weekly blog. By late 2009, the book had sold over 4 million copies worldwide. Published on April 12, 2005, by William Morrow, the book has been described as melding pop culture with economics. 0-06-123400-1 (Hardback), ISBN 0-06-089637-X (large print paperback)įreakonomics: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything is the debut non-fiction book by University of Chicago economist Steven Levitt and New York Times journalist Stephen J. |
