Ardeur: 14 Writers on the Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter Series
by Laurell K. HamiltonLaurell K. Hamilton's Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter series is a literary sensation, thanks to its strong female hero, well-fleshed (both literally and literarily) characters and unabashed attitude toward sex.

Straddling the series' dominant themes of sex and power, Ardeur gives Anita fans a deeper look into the dynamics, both personal political, that have kept readers fascinated throughout the run of the series. Why is the ardeur the very best thing that could have happened to Anita, personally (aside from all the sex it requires her to have with hot men)? How is Anita's alternate United States a logical legal extension of our own? And as the series continues, what other bargains might Anita have to make with herself and others in order to keep the people she loves safe from harm? The collection includes essay introductions by Hamilton, giving context and extra insight into each essay's subject.

Their goal is to discover the great vault prophesized to hold the savior of humanity's secrets to his own power and wisdom. But the dangers are high in the uncharted forests, rife with bandits and demons that no magic can stop. And as Chance's dreams become more clear, he soon realizes these are not merely dreams but visions, and he alone holds the key to unlocking Ardneh's greatest gift, known to the followers as Ardneh's Sword.

Ardores de agosto: Montalbano - Libro 14 (Salvo Montalbano #Volumen 14)
by Andrea CamilleriOtra aventura de Salvo Montalbano, en la que el inimitable comisario sigue haciendo gala de ese vitalismo socarrón y melancólico mientras se asoma a los abismos más profundos del ánima humana. Un calor asfixiante arrasa Sicilia como una llamarada; durante el día el aire se vuelve irrespirable, las piedras queman y ni siquiera un baño en el mar ofrece algo más que alivio momentáneo. Con la ciudad sumida en un letargo incandescente, Salvo aguarda la llegada de Livia, que viene con unos amigos a pasar las vacaciones en una solitaria casita frente a la playa. Pero el idílico plan se tuerce cuando, oculto en los sótanos de la casa, aparece un baúl con un cadáver dentro. El macabro hallazgo desata los instintos investigadores del comisario, que muy pronto se ve envuelto en una maraña criminal de múltiples facetas que involucra a políticos, banqueros y empresarios, todos bajo la omnipresente tutela de la mafia. Y como si la canículano fuera suficiente para causar estragos en el comportamiento de los personajes, la presencia casi mágica de una bellísima veinteañera hace flaquear la proverbial lucidez del propio Montalbano, hasta el punto de tentarlo a dar ese paso trascendental que había evitado hasta el momento.

Arduous Tasks
by Lina N InsanaOne of twentieth-century Italy's greatest thinkers, Primo Levi (1919-1987) started reflecting on the Holocaust almost immediately after his return home from the year he survived in Auschwitz. Levi's powerful Holocaust testimonials reveal his preoccupation with processes of translation, in the form of both embedded and book-length renderings of texts relevant to Holocaust survival. In Arduous Tasks, Lina N. Insana demonstrates how translation functions as a metaphor for the transmission of Holocaust testimony and broadens the parameters of survivor testimony. The first book to study Levi and translation, Arduous Tasks overcomes the conventional views of the separation between his own personal memoirs and his translations by stressing the centrality of translation in Levi's entire corpus. Examining not only the testimonial nature of his work, Insana also discusses the transgressive and performative aspects of transmission in his writings. Arduous Tasks is a superb and innovative study on the importance of translation not only to Levi, but also to Holocaust studies in general.
