Adamantem is the daughter of an Alpha from an Omega; bullied, abused, and broken for being judged as weak and lowly.

With the fear that her Mother would experience further cruelty from her Alpha Father, she agreed to her father's wishes. However, Alpha Eleo knew how greedy her father is, so he mocked her for being her father’s mere pawn, who was tossed upon his feet so that her Father could gain more power and wealth. He told her to go home and never dream of becoming his Luna. Would his rejection make her retreat and return to her Alpha Father as a failure? Or will she fight for her mate even if it seems impossible for him to accept her? Or, would she run away both from his Alpha father’s cruelty and from her Alpha mate’s further rejection by accepting an offered love by someone else? Whatever her decision, could she find her real strength and value, that will make Alpha Eleo chase her?

Poet in New York

Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
“The definitive version of Lorca’s masterpiece, in language that is as alive and molten today as was the original.” —John Ashbery Newly translated for the first time in ten years, Federico García Lorca’s Poet in New York is an astonishing depiction of a tumultuous metropolis that changed the course of poetic expression in both Spain and the Americas. Written during Lorca’s nine months at Columbia University at the beginning of the Great Depression, Poet in New York is widely considered one of the most important books Lorca produced. This influential collection portrays a New York City populated with poverty, racism, social turbulence, and solitude—a New York intoxicating in its vitality and beauty. After the tragedy of September 11, 2001, poets Pablo Medina and Mark Statman were struck by how closely this seventy-year-old work spoke to the atmosphere of New York. They were compelled to create a new English version using a contemporary poet’s eye, which upholds Lorca’s surrealistic technique, mesmerizing complexity, and fierce emotion unlike any other translation to date. A defining work of modern literature, Poet in New York is a thrilling exposition of one American city that continues to change our perspective on the world around us. “A worthy new version of a 20th-century classic.” —Publishers Weekly

Book Description
Imagen y palabra: En torno a "El Cristo de Velázquez" es un análisis estilístico e interpretativo del Poema cristológico de Miguel de Unamuno. El poema está inspirado en el famoso cuadro del pintor español Diego Velázquez. Unamuno comienza a componer estos poemas poco después de haber publicado su magna obra, "Del sentimiento trágico de la vida" (1913). En el poemario el Rector expone todos sus pensamientos y pensamientos en torno a la figura de Cristo. Es un poemario con profundas raíces bíblicas. A través de cada poema, escrito en clásicos endecasílabos, el poeta refleja su profunda fe en el Cristo Crucificado. Junto a su obra póstuma, "Diario intimo", esta obra poética no deja lugar a duda de que el conflictivo don Miguel murió creyente. Se encuentra aquí, pues, el "Unamuno contemplativo" frente al "Unamuno agónico" de los críticos. Eliezer Oyola hace un examen minucioso de cada poema, notando las alusiones bíblicas, literarias, históricas y mitológicas.
