Book Description
Many poems in this book of poetry and a short story were motivated by past and present dreams that the author has transposed into words and two languages (English and Spanish). The author turned those dreams into poems and managed to introduce her culture, people from her old neighborhood, relationships, memories of loved ones, and love at its highest and lowest. It's a poetic journey giving the reader a taste of life with its twists and turns. The short (and only) story in the book, "Lila Archmon" is filled with descriptive words that takes the reader onto a dream-like passage of fantasy transporting them into the garden with Lila and her precious friends. The poem "Salsa" introduces the reader to a dance that has withstood the passage of time - it is certainly a "feast" for all. "Soy Boricua" expresses the pride of being Boricua and gives a history as to the roots of the Puerto Rican. The two poems (and title of the book) "Daughter of the Sun I and II" can be interpreted by the readers, as they desire. When various people were asked to give their meanings of the poems, the multitude and variety of renditions were astounding.

Book Description
This book addresses contemporary discourses on a wide variety of topics related to the ideological and epistemological changes of the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries, and the ways in which they have shaped the Spanish language and cultural manifestations in both Spain and Hispanic America. The majority of the chapters are concerned with ‘otherness’ in its various dimensions; the alien Other – foreign, immigrant, ethnically different, disempowered, female or minor – as well as the Other of different sexual orientation and/or ideology. Following Octavio Paz, otherness is expressed as the attempt to find the lost object of desire, the frustrating endeavour of the androgynous Plato wishing to embrace the other half of Zeus, who in his wrath, tore off from him. Otherness compels human beings to search for the complement from which they were severed. Thus a male joins a female, his other half, the only half that not only fills him but which allows him to return to the unity and reconciliation which is restored in its own perfection, formerly altered by divine will. As a result of this transformation, one can annul the distance that keeps us away from that which, not being our own, turns into a source of anguish. The clashing diversity of all things requires the human predisposition to accept that which is different. Such a predisposition is an expression of epistemological, ethical and political aperture. The disposition to co-exist with the different is imagined in the de-anthropocentricization of the bonds with all living realms. And otherness is, in some way, the reflection of sameness (mismidad). The other is closely related to the self, because the vision of the other implies a reflection about the self; it implies, consciously or not, a relationship with the self. These topics are addressed in this book from an interdisciplinary perspective, encompassing arts, humanities and social sciences.

Un intento de robo en su bungalow impide la filtración del material a la prensa internacional. Tino atrapa al asaltante y confirma que no se trata de un simple atraco sino de una operación bien organizada para sustraerle la memoria. No sabe cómo le han descubierto a pesar de haber mantenido en secreto la existencia de tal video. Necesita volver a Cuba para rastrear al traidor entre sus colegas, pero antes debe poner a su familia a salvo. Recurre a su mentor quien vive un retiro incógnito en Córdova y se marcha a Cuba donde llegan también los servicios de inteligencia rusos y americanos para presionar al gobierno cubano y hacerse con el valioso objeto a cualquier precio.

Book Description
Después de haber gozado una exitosa carrera en el campo de la pedagogía critica, Edel Romay finalmente puede dedicar toda su atención a algo que el siempre deseó hacer - Publicar sus manuscritos, que son muchos. Y este manuscrito aquí transformado en libro, nos habla de una ficción verdadera de ciertos recuerdos editados. No muy lejos de lo que Mario Vargas Llosa nos dice: La memoria es el punto de partida de la fantasía." Así pues, la narrativa breve aquí reunida nos expone a contemplar el ayer como un sueño. Algo así; como ese encuentro con la ausencia, que algunos escritores experimentan, cuando se adentran al cosmos de una hoja de papel en blanco, en el actual progresivo mundo digital. Sin embargo, el autor aun sigue usando el clásico lápiz y papel en blanco para sus borradores. Indudablemente, ese "ayer" que alguna vez fue "hoy" está suspendido en los laberintos de la memoria. Después de todo, ésta narrativa se inscribe en la premisa de que "La realidad solo existe en el lenguaje." Porque la realidad de esta obra se manifiesta; sí tú, la continúas leyendo... ¡Ves! Hay más de una lectura que te ofrece.
