Arquetipos, diccionario de varones disponibles
by Sandra Russo"Armar esta enciclopedia de tipos de varones nos salva de concluir que son todos iguales", dice Sandra Russo en alguno de estos textos escritos con absoluta libertad de estilo, un poco de memoria, una pizca de verdad y una buena dosis de licencia ficcional. Mientras retrata con maestría los ejemplares más dispares de hombres que toda mujer puede encontrar, desliza reflexiones punzantes, juicios contundentes y remates desopilantes. Presenta interesantes teorías alternativas a la de la consabida envidia del pene propagada por Freud y le guiña un ojo a la hipótesis de que todos los hombres necesitan, en el fondo, una madre, e intentan buscarla por los caminos más contradictorios. No hay un miligramo de objetividad en estas observaciones, pero sí, para alivio de todos, mucho sentido del humor. Escribiendo desde una postura "ligeramente intolerante pero claramente compasiva", la autora logra que podamos permitirnos más de una sonrisa a pesar de que las cosas, muchas veces, nos sigan saliendo mal. Por eso, al detenernos en las características del casado, del de dudoso gusto, del hipocondríaco o del petardo -por nombrar sólo algunostambién podremos entrever ciertos aspectos de la condición femenina en esta época de mujeres liberadas y hombres sensibles. Un libro para reír a carcajadas -y llorar a viva voz-, solas o con amigas.
Arran
by Tia FieldingSequel to WolfyTrauma and heartache have followed Arran his whole life. Raised by wolf hunters, he was lucky to escape Washington State and that life at his first chance. Becoming a liaison between wolf packs and hunters across the United States was Arran's way of healing his soul from what he'd seen his family do.A decade ago, he met Marek, the alpha son of a small pack in Montana. The pair quickly realized they were mates, fell in love, and had plans for a future where Arran being a liaison would make a real difference. But then, everything changed when Marek had to step up as the Alpha.Since that day, Arran has been running from his past, solving problems for other people while his mating bite throbs in time with his broken heart. He's had lovers, but everyone who sees the scar on his wrist knows that he belongs to another.Fresh off one job, Arran receives a late-night call from Marek's wife -- his replacement -- begging for help, and there's nothing he can do but head back to the Alpha he never wanted to face again. Not after he learns that the events from New Mexico are connected to what's happening to Marek's pack. Someone is threatening two packs he's been involved with, and that can't be ignored.Showing up on Marek's doorstep is its own complication with plenty of surprises in store for both men. Not only does Arran have secrets from his hunter past, but Marek has been bearing his own all these years. Old hurts and new revelations mix in a cocktail of hurt and comfort as the pack figures out how to move forward and be happy again.

Arranged Marriage
by Chitra Banerjee DivakaruniAlthough Chitra Divakaruni's poetry has won praise and awards for many years, it is her "luminous, exquisitely crafted prose"(Ms. )that is quickly making her one of the brightest rising stars in the changing face of American literature. Arranged Marriage, her first collection of stories, spent five weeks on theSan Francisco Chroniclebestseller list and garnered critical acclaim that would have been extraordinary for even a more established author. For the young girls and women brought to life in these stories, the possibility of change, of starting anew, is both as terrifying and filled with promise as the ocean that separates them from their homes in India. From the story of a young bride whose fairy-tale vision of California is shattered when her husband is murdered and she must face the future on her own, to a proud middle-aged divorced woman determined to succeed in San Francisco, Divakaruni's award-winning poetry fuses here with prose for the first time to create eleven devastating portraits of women on the verge of an unforgettable transformation.

Arranged Marriage: Part I
by P. Torres Ana GomesXIX century Most marriages in high society were arranged in order to benefit both families. Not taking into account the victims of this forced union. The chosen ones were forced to sacrifice themselves, giving up their dreams and their wills, to attend to the vagaries of their lineage.

Arranged: A Novel
by Catherine McKenzieA writer reconsiders her approach to love when she mistakenly calls an arranged marriage service in this offbeat romance by the author of Spin.“Arranged is a rare book: smart, funny, honest, and absorbing.” —Therese Walsh, author of The Last Will of Moira LeahyAnne Blythe has a great life: a good job, close friends, and a potential book deal for her first novel. When it comes to finding someone to share her life with, however, she just can’t seem to get it right. After her latest relationship implodes, and her best friend announces she’s engaged, Anne impulsively calls what she thinks is a dating service—only to discover that it’s actually an exclusive, and pricey, arranged marriage service. Anne initially rejects the idea, but the more she learns about the service, the more she thinks: Why not? After all, arranged marriages are the norm for millions of women around the world; maybe it could work for her.A few months later, Anne is traveling to a Mexican resort, where, over the course of a weekend, she meets and then marries Jack. And initially, everything seems to be working out . . . “A satisfying and entertaining romantic tale that puts a contemporary twist on old-fashioned ideas about marriage. I inhaled it in an afternoon, rooting for its heroine to find the love she longs for.” —Leah Stewart, author of Husband and Wife“This is chick lit for real women, featuring a smart, competent heroine with a hopeless romantic streak . . . The humor ranges from biting sarcasm to slapstick, and the narrative voice is compulsively readable . . . Fans of Jennifer Weiner and Jennifer Crusie have found a new author to watch.” —Booklist (starred review)

Arranging Ayra (The Jane Austen Association #1)
by Kailin GowCan a Matchmaking Arrangement Get Ayra her Mr. Darcy? Ayra Patel is not only smart, beautiful, and funny, she is also one of the first Patels to not be a doctor. Instead, she chose to go into the music industry…as a music arranger. Her old-fashioned mother doesn't even know what that means. What she does know is that Ayra has no boyfriend, isn't dating, and doesn't seem interested in getting married anytime soon. Her mother and her aunties somehow think it's necessary to find a matchmaker to arrange a suitor for Ayra. But as a first generation American, Ayra has no interest in their meddling arrangements, especially since she has her heart set on marrying her favorite book boyfriend Mr. Darcy from Pride and Prejudice. She did, after all, manage to land her dream job working on the music arrangement for a Jane Austen film, made possible through her fan club, The Jane Austen Association. When Ayra finds out one of the potential suitors on their list is none other than Barnaby Darcy, the hot actor in the Jane Austen film, she has a change of heart. He even shared the same name, Darcy! But is Barnaby Darcy anything like Mr. Darcy in the Jane Austen film, or is he just like all of the other guys she has ever met? * Fake Fiancé * Arranged Marriage * Story within a Story * Grumpy Sunshine **Arranging Ayra is a contemporary romantic comedy for age 14 and up!
Arranging Grief: Sacred Time and the Body in Nineteenth-Century America (Sexual Cultures #2)
by Dana Luciano2008 Winner, MLA First Book PrizeCharting the proliferation of forms of mourning and memorial across a century increasingly concerned with their historical and temporal significance, Arranging Grief offers an innovative new view of the aesthetic, social, and political implications of emotion. Dana Luciano argues that the cultural plotting of grief provides a distinctive insight into the nineteenth-century American temporal imaginary, since grief both underwrote the social arrangements that supported the nation’s standard chronologies and sponsored other ways of advancing history.Nineteenth-century appeals to grief, as Luciano demonstrates, diffused modes of “sacred time” across both religious and ostensibly secular frameworks, at once authorizing and unsettling established schemes of connection to the past and the future. Examining mourning manuals, sermons, memorial tracts, poetry, and fiction by Harriet Beecher Stowe, William Apess, James Fenimore Cooper, Catharine Maria Sedgwick, Susan Warner, Harriet E. Wilson, Herman Melville, Frances E. W. Harper, Frederick Douglass, Abraham Lincoln, Elizabeth Keckley, and Ralph Waldo Emerson, Luciano illustrates the ways that grief coupled the affective body to time. Drawing on formalist, Foucauldian, and psychoanalytic criticism, Arranging Grief shows how literary engagements with grief put forth ways of challenging deep-seated cultural assumptions about history, progress, bodies, and behaviors.
Arranging Marriage: Conjugal Agency in the South Asian Diaspora
by Marian AguiarThe first critical analysis of contemporary arranged marriage among South Asians in a global context Arranged marriage is an institution of global fascination—an object of curiosity, revulsion, outrage, and even envy. Marian Aguiar provides the first sustained analysis of arranged marriage as a transnational cultural phenomenon, revealing how its meaning has been continuously reinvented within the South Asian diaspora of Britain, the United States, and Canada. Aguiar identifies and analyzes representations of arranged marriage in an interdisciplinary set of texts—from literary fiction and Bollywood films, to digital and print media, to contemporary law and policy on forced marriage.Aguiar interprets depictions of South Asian arranged marriage to show we are in a moment of conjugal globalization, identifying how narratives about arranged marriage bear upon questions of consent, agency, state power, and national belonging. Aguiar argues that these discourses illuminate deep divisions in the processes of globalization constructed on a fault line between individualist and collectivist agency and in the process, critiques neoliberal celebrations of &“culture as choice&” that attempt to bridge that separation. Aguiar advocates situating arranged marriage discourses within their social and material contexts so as to see past reductive notions of culture and grasp the global forces mediating increasingly polarized visions of agency.
Arranging Stories: Framing Social Commentary in Short Story Collections by Southern Women Writers
by Heather A. FoxBetween the 1880s and the 1940s, opportunities for southern white women writers increased dramatically, bolstered by readers’ demands for southern stories in northern periodicals. Confined by magazine requirements and social expectations, writers often relied on regional settings and tropes to attract publishers and readers before publishing work in a collection. Selecting and ordering magazine stories for these collections was not arbitrary or dictated by editors, despite a male-dominated publishing industry. Instead, it allowed writers to privilege stories, or to contextualize a story by its proximity to other tales, as a form of social commentary. For Kate Chopin, Ellen Glasgow, Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, and Katherine Anne Porter—the authors featured in this book—publishing a volume of stories enabled them to construct a narrative framework of their own. Arranging Stories: Framing Social Commentary in Short Story Collections by Southern Women Writers is as much about how stories are constructed as how they are told. The book examines correspondence, manuscripts, periodicals, and first editions of collections. Each collection’s textual history serves as a case study for changes in the periodical marketplace and demonstrates how writers negotiated this marketplace to publish stories and garner readership. The book also includes four tables, featuring collected stories’ arrangements and publication histories, and twenty-five illustrations, featuring periodical publications, unpublished letters, and manuscript fragments obtained from nine on-site and digital archives. Short story collections guide readers through a spatial experience, in which both individual stories and the ordering of those stories become a framework for interpreting meaning. Arranging Stories invites readings that complicate how we engage collected works.
Arras Hanging: The Textile That Determined Early Modern Literature and Drama
by Rebecca OlsonTextiles have long provided metaphors for storytelling: a compelling novel “weaves a tapestry” and we enjoy hearing someone “spin” a tale. To what extent, however, should we take these metaphors seriously? Arras Hanging: The Textile That Determined Early Modern Literature and Drama reveals that in the early modern period, when cloth-making was ubiquitous and high-quality tapestries called arras hangings were the most valuable objects in England, such metaphors were literal. The arras in particular provided a narrative model for writers such as Edmund Spenser and William Shakespeare, who exploited their audience’s familiarity with weaving to engage them in highly idiosyncratic and “hands on” ways. Specifically, undescribed or “blank” tapestries in the period’s fiction presented audiences with opportunities to “see” whatever they desired, and thus weave themselves into the story. Far more than background objects, literary and dramatic arras hangings have much to teach us about the intersections between texts and textiles at the dawn of print, and, more broadly, about the status of visual art in post-Reformation England.

Arrebatos carnales (Arrebatos carnales #Volumen 1)
by Francisco Martín MorenoUn libro que nos informa, que nos descubre secretos de alcoba y que nos recuerda nuestra propia humanidad. «Resulta inadmisible estudiar las biografías de los grandes personajes de nuestra historia con un criterio moralista o religioso que excluya sus inclinaciones sentimentales o ignore los arrebatos carnales en que pudieron haber caído, víctimas ¿afortunadas? de una obnubilación permanente o pasajera. El amor constituye la columna vertebral de las relaciones humanas. ¿A dónde se va en la vida sin un cómplice con quien se comparten secretos exquisitos en la cama?» Francisco Martín Moreno, con su fresco, cercano, pero a la vez riguroso estilo, nos invita a humanizar, desde las pasiones y afectos, a esos personajes históricos que han cambiado o influido en la historia de México. Así,en Arrebatos carnales I, el lector conocerá las intimidades de la poeta y escritora Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, del político José Vasconcelos, del libertador José María Morelos, del emperador Maximiliano I, del dictador Porfirio Díaz y del célebre revolucionario Pancho Villa.
Arrebatos carnales II (Arrebatos carnales #Volumen 2)
by Francisco Martín MorenoUna vez más, el autor nos hace disfrutar de la historia de México conociendo sus entresijos carnales y sus pasiones. «Una prueba para demostrar que no me dejé impresionar por los comentarios adversos ni me importó que me llamaran irreverente, entre otros calificativos, por haberme atrevido a bajar de sus respectivos pedestales a los grandes protagonistas de la historia de México y por exhibirlos como figuras de carne y hueso con sus fortalezas y debilidades [...] Aquí está Arrebatos carnales II.» Francisco Martín Moreno regresa con grandes hombres y mujeres de la historia y sus amores. Para abrir apetito comienza con la Güera Rodríguez, mujer hermosa y estratega audaz, en amoríos con Iturbide; también nos lleva de la mano por la alcoba de Diego Rivera y sus múltiples amantes, mientras vemos de perfil a una Frida Kahlo rompiendo moldes; otra mirada dura de las pasiones es la de Isabel Motecuhzoma, hija del gran Motecuhzoma Xocoyotzin, para seguir con la entereza de doña Josefa Ortiz de Domínguez y cerrar, como una gran cereza, con los arrebatos de don Lázaro Cárdenas.
Arrebatos carnales III (Arrebatos carnales #Volumen 3)
by Francisco Martín Moreno«Con la entrega de Arrebatos carnales III [...] doy por concluida la trilogía que me permitió ver a contraluz la vida amorosa de algunos personajes de la historia patria.» Con esta obra, Francisco Martín Moreno da por concluida su Trilogía Erótica de México, acogida con justificado entusiasmo por el público lector. ¿Por qué oscura razón la historia oficial ha subido a los grandes protagonistas de nuestra historia a enormes columnas de mármol blanco como si se tratara de figuras sacralizadas, santificadas, carentes de la menor pasión carnal? ¿Se trataba de proyectar la imagen impoluta de destacados actores de nuestro pasado o más bien observar su comportamiento en su más exquisita intimidad? El autor, un acucioso investigador de los acontecimientos que definieron nuestra actual realidad, descubrió el fuego, el idilio que consumía a Melchor Ocampo, uno de los padres de la Reforma en elsiglo xix; a Díaz Ordaz, el jefe del Ejecutivo que padeció los horrores del movimiento del 68; a Venustiano Carranza, uno de los supuestos inspiradores de la Constitución de 1917; a Felipe Carrillo Puerto, el gran líder henequenero, feroz enemigo de la esclavitud yucateca; sin olvidar la configuración psicológica de un influyente inquisidor del siglo xvii en México.
