The passionate life and violent death of Federico Garcia Lorca (1898–1936) retain an enduring fascination for readers around the world. Murdered by Nationalists at the outset of the Spanish Civil War, Lorca died at the peak of his creative powers. He remains his country's most widely translated writer, surpassed only by Cervantes in terms of critical commentary. This selection includes 55 of the 68 poems that comprised Lorca's 1921 Libro de poemas, all of them in their entirety and in their original sequence. Imbued with the spirit and folklore of the poet's native Andalusia, these verses feature the most complex spiritual content of any of Lorca's works. Editor Stanley Appelbaum provides sensitive, accurate English translations on the pages facing the original Spanish, as well as an informative introduction to the author's life and oeuvre, plus notes on the individual poems. An outstanding resource for students and teachers of Spanish language and literature, this compilation will enchant any lover of poetry.

VALKIRIE narra la historia de México durante los últimos dos sexenios dominados por la cruenta guerra contra los carteles del narcotráfico y sus conecciones con importantes políticos, empresarios y corporaciones globales. Vivian camina dentro de una nube púrpura luego de la destrucción de México, entre muertos que no saben que lo están. Es una novela compuesta en capítulos que representan cabezas degolladas, manos mochadas, corazones arrancados. Como dice ella, "me lo dictaron las voces de los desaparecidos que por ahí están". Y es la reacción de las mujeres que cuando se les mete algo en la cabeza, nadie las puede parar. VALKIRIE es un oscuro viaje, un trance, con una mirada profunda, seria, pero también magnética, en otra dimensión, en donde se planea el asesinato de un presidente...o dos. VALKIRIE tells the story of contemporary Mexico ́s history, specially through the last twelve years dominated by an erratic and strange drug war against the cartels and its connections with important politicians, business men and global corporations. Vivian walks inside a purple cloud after Mexico ceased to exist, walking among mexicans who doesn ́t know they are already dead. Its a novel composed in chapters that represent heads, hands, legs and hearts dismembered. VALKIRIE may be a fiction but its well documented in reality. As Vivian, one of its characters, says, "it ́s written by the voices unheard, by the lost ones, the dissapeared: the testimony of the dead that still walk around us". VALKIRIE its a trip, a trance, a dark tour de force inside the mind of a girl induced by a new and powerful illegal drug in a plot that has to do with the attempt to kill the president...or two.
