There is need. And then there is Fate... Being destined to become some kind of supernatural electrical outlet isn't exactly awesome--especially when Alexandria's "other half" is everywhere she goes. Seth's in her training room, outside her classes, and keeps showing up in her bedroom--so not cool. Their connection does have some benefits, like staving off her nightmares of the tragic showdown with her mother, but it has no effect on what Alex feels for the forbidden, pure-blooded Aiden. Or what he will do--and sacrifice--for her. When daimons infiltrate the Covenants and attack students, the gods send furies--lesser gods determined to eradicate any threat to the Covenants and to the gods, and that includes the Apollyon... and Alex. If that and hordes of aether-sucking monsters didn't blow bad enough, a mysterious threat seems willing to do anything to neutralize Seth, even if that means forcing Alex into servitude... or killing her. When the gods are involved, some decisions can never, ever be undone.

It's 1998 and Isabel Rosen, the only daughter of a Lower East Side appetizing store owner, has one semester left at Wilder College, a prestigious school in New Hampshire. Desperate to shed her working-class roots and still mourning the death of her mother four years earlier, Isabel has always felt like an outsider at Wilder but now, in her final semester, she believes she has found her place-until a nonconsensual sexual encounter with one of the only other Jewish students on campus leaves her reeling. Enter R. H. Connelly, a once-famous poet and Isabel's writing professor, a man with secrets of his own. Connelly makes Isabel feel seen, beautiful, talented: the woman she longs to become. His belief in her ignites a belief in herself, and the two begin an affair that shakes the foundation of who Isabel thinks she is, for better and worse. As the lives of the adults around her slowly come apart, Isabel discovers that the line between youth and adulthood is less defined than she thought. A coming-of-age story set against the backdrop of the Clinton/Lewinsky scandal, Daisy Alpert Florin's My Last Innocent Year is a timely and wise portrait of a young woman learning to trust her voice and move toward independence while recognizing the beauty and grit of where she came from.

Contrary to popular belief, best friends Kate Garfield and Anderson Walker are not codependent. Carpooling to and from theater rehearsals? Environmentally sound and efficient. Consulting each other on every single life decision? Basic good judgment. Pining for the same guys from afar? Shared crushes are more fun anyway. But when Kate and Andy's latest long-distance crush shows up at their school, everything goes off-script. Matt Olsson is talented and sweet, and Kate likes him. She really likes him. The only problem? So does Anderson. Turns out, communal crushes aren't so fun when real feelings are involved. This one might even bring the curtains down on Kate and Anderson's friendship.

An inspiring fable about the importance of getting out of our comfort zone, overcoming our fears and facing challenges with optimism and a positive attitude. In a kingdom far away, everyone lives happily and peacefully under the reign of the kind King Ludovico. But one day, everything changes: the queen dies of melancholy, the crown prince disappears and his brother suddenly loses his life. The flowers wither and the fields dry up. The third son of the kings, Prince Estanislao, is so affected by the losses that he loses interest in everything around him and even stops eating. King Ludovico, very weakened, understands that he needs time to get over his pain, but he also knows that his people cannot wait and that Estanislao must take responsibility for him as the future king. After several days locked in his room, the prince decides to embark on a journey through distant lands; a trip that will make him face himself and in which he will accumulate many riches in the form of experiences, teachings and affection. The valuable lessons he will learn along the way will finally allow him to return to his people the abundance, happiness, and hope he once lost.

Jinbocho, Tokyo. The neighborhood of bookstores and publishers, paradise for readers. A quiet corner out of time, a few steps from the subway and large modern buildings. Rows and rows of windows full of books, new or second-hand. Tatako, twenty-five years old and with a rather colorless life, does not attend regularly. However, it is here that the Morisaki bookstore is located, which has been in her family for three generations. A store of barely eight tatami mats in an old wooden building, with a room on the top floor used as a store. It is the kingdom of Satoru, Tatako's eccentric uncle. Enthusiastic and a bit deranged, he dedicates his life to books, especially since his wife left him. Quite the opposite of Tatako, who hasn't left home since the man she was in love with told her that he wanted to marry someone else. It is Satoru who throws him a lifeline, offering to move him to the first floor of the bookstore. She, who is not a great reader, finds herself living in the midst of crumbling towers of books and clients who do not stop asking her questions and quoting unknown writers. Between increasingly passionate discussions about modern Japanese literature, a meeting in a cafe with a shy stranger and some revelations about Satoru's love story, Tatako will gradually discover a way of communicating and relating that starts from books.

"Una erótica del café" se presenta como un texto tan delirante como entretenido. El café aquí -al igual que la filosofía o el psicoanálisis- puede ser bien el protagonista o una excusa refinada para hablar de la erótica, de las relaciones o de la sexualidad. El tránsito por esta lectura (o locura) será sin saber si quien habla es el autor, su alterego o un personaje del que, sin nombre, lo conocemos por sus preguntas, sus teorías locas y por los rastros de su propia historia. Pasión y locura se unen como adjetivos en este relato simple y entretenido pero complejo y existencialista a la vez.

El encuentro por el título mundial Capablanca vs Alekhine 1927 - Argentina hacia las ligas mayores 1927 - 1929 Características de esta colección: Esta obra está estructurada como una cronología del match por el título mundial Capablanca vs Alekhine 1927, en el contexto socio-político en que se desarrolló. La llegada de la tecnología a fines de la década de 1990 facilitó la investigación, pero el ordenamiento final llevó no menos de 15 años. Los conceptos históricos y culturales que se insertan aquí se fundan en las profundas ideas del escritor Ezequiel Martínez Estrada (1895-1964), principalmente sobre la base de sus obras de las décadas del '30 y del '40. Puede decirse que la historia oficial argentina consiste en enormes cirugías históricas sin anestesia, que hoy acostumbramos a denominar 'relatos', palabra que él también ya había utilizado. Él quiso significar que tenemos en Argentina múltiples historias parciales, paralelas, simples apologías o exégesis de personalidades o de algunos hechos, pergeñadas generalmente por los grupos del poder. Y a este magno encuentro le corresponden las generales de esta 'ley'. Puede decirse que cuando se estaba jugando este match, Ezequiel estaba terminando su ensayo Filosofía del Ajedrez, que por diversas razones quedó inédito hasta 2008, cuando fue publicado por la Biblioteca Nacional. Martínez Estrada descubrió que, dentro del cambiante devenir, existen invariantes históricos, fuerzas inertes que permanecen desde la colonia, y se van transmitiendo incólumes de generación en generación. Al invariante principal lo llamó "constelación de la colonia". De él surgen muchos otros. He preferido agruparlos y renombrar al invariante mayor como "monárquico funcional". Expresó el pensador: Por mucho que hayan variado individualmente los habitantes de Inglaterra, Francia, España, Holanda o cualquier otra nación cuya evolución histórica ha sufrido las más increíbles perturbaciones, los rasgos específicos de la nacionalidad siguen conteniendo vivos los elementos que encontramos ya en los orígenes de su formación como pueblos y como Estados. Pues esa misma ley de los invariantes que da unidad al género humano, al mismo tiempo que configura individualidades históricas inconfundibles, podemos encontrarla también en nuestro país y en todos los demás del continente. Para nosotros, acaso el gaucho (lo gauchesco) tenga un valor genético semejante al del normando, el sajón, el íbero, el latino. Este concepto parece muy evidente, pero hay una gran resistencia en la intelectualidad y en la población en general, para aceptarlo. Todos dicen: 'No, la historia nunca es igual, siempre cambia'. Sin embargo, por ejemplo, quién podría decir que en Sudáfrica no hubo un invariante racial? Hoy sólo podemos decir que Mandela comenzó a quebrarlo. La estructura de este tomo está concebida para proporcionar información de amplio contexto sobre el ajedrez en Argentina período 1925-1927, incluido como tema principal el encuentro Capablanca - Alekhine de 1927. Se priorizó la calidad técnica de las jugadas según los criterios actuales que indican los medios modernos. Incluye todas las partidas jugadas en el citado período por Capablanca y Alekhine en torneos. Se agrega completa información sobre las actividades nacionales, que permite comparar el nivel de los ajedrecistas argentinos con los de otros países. Se han mencionado conceptos estratégicos argentinos, como las casillas reales --ideadas por Osvaldo Bazán, desarrolladas por Sergio Wavrenchuk y puestas en práctica por este autor en dos obras--, y las jugadas indeterminativas generales, idea de los cordobeses Luis Bronstein y Rodolfo Redolfi. Se incluyen también los análisis y comentarios de la época, tomados de las revistas y los periódicos, de manera que pueden compararse ambos con facilidad. Los entornos favorecían netamente a Capablanca, quien era muy popular, all

Angrboda's story begins where most witch tales end: with being burnt. A punishment from Odin for sharing her visions of the future with the wrong people, the fire leaves Angrboda injured and powerless, and she flees into the furthest reaches of a remote forest. There she is found by a man who reveals himself to be the trickster god Loki, and her initial distrust of him and any of his kind grows reluctantly into a deep and abiding love. Their union produces the most important things in her long life: a trio of peculiar children, each with a secret destiny, whom she is keen to raise at the edge of the world, safely hidden from Odin's all-seeing eye. But as Angrboda slowly recovers her prophetic powers, she learns that her blissful life and possibly all of existence is in danger. Angrboda must choose whether she'll accept the fate that she's foreseen for her beloved family or rise to remake it.

El título de este libro "La forma del fruto", de Jorge Eduardo Fernández, presenta un camino que se remonta al origen mítico de la lengua y, partiendo de sus más simples versos, recorre en cinco estaciones, el derrotero poético donde resuenan las palabras de los "Hijos / del rumor / del agua" (según leemos en el poema 16). Alejandro Drewes, quien tiene a su cargo el Prólogo a esta obra, nos indica que: "Como un signo de unidad fantasmal, el fruto, su forma singular y cambiante, aparece y reaparece, señalando la lejana patria de la infancia; el lugar del pecado, la penosa herencia evolutiva, la frontera entre tiempo y eternidad". La tarea poética, "liberar al fruto/ del espectro/ de la rosa", tan solo se alcanza a cumplir en la medida en que en cada último verso, el callar del poema dice en su sigiloso regreso al silencio. Al final del poemario, más allá del camino recorrido y de los horizontes explorados por los "hijos de la mar", el "âme sentinelle" del poeta avizora otra tierra donde: "...mendigos del silencio, / los hijos de la puna / ven, / por encima del mar, / el polvo en danza / de remolinos de viento".

"The novel follows two women on a star-crossed journey toward each other. When Sara Foster runs away from home at sixteen, she leaves behind not only the losses that have shattered her world but the girl she once was, capable of trust and intimacy. Years later, in Los Angeles, she is a sought-after bartender, renowned as much for her brilliant cocktails as for the mystery that clings to her. Across the city, Emilie Dubois is in a holding pattern. In her seventh year and fifth major as an undergraduate, she yearns for the beauty and community her Creole grandparents cultivated but is unable to commit. On a whim, she takes a job arranging flowers at the glamorous restaurant Yerba Buena and embarks on an affair with the married owner. When Sara catches sight of Emilie one morning at Yerba Buena, their connection is immediate. But the damage both women carry, and the choices they have made, pulls them apart again and again. When Sara's old life catches up to her, upending everything she thought she wanted just as Emilie has finally gained her own sense of purpose, they must decide if their love is more powerful than their pasts. At once exquisite and expansive, astonishing in its humanity and heart, Yerba Buena is a love story for our time and a propulsive journey through the lives of two women finding their way in the world"--]cProvided by publisher.
