Génesis está cansada de la predecible escena social de Miami, con entradas exclusivas, pequeños juegos de poder y novios traicioneros.Mientras que Maddie ansía pasar momentos familiares durante esas vacaciones de primavera, Génesis busca las novedades, como una salida de último minuto a una playa virgen en Colombia.

It all feels so random to everyone except Genesis. She knows they were targeted for a reason. And that reason is her.Now, as the hours count down, only one thing’s for certain: If the Miami hostages can’t thwart their captors’ plan, no one will make it out alive.Tapping into our darkest fears while exploring issues of injustice, loss, and the courage to fight for what matters most, this thrilling read is perfect for fans of Nova Ren Suma, Becca Fitzpatrick, and Jennifer L.

100 Neo-Futurist Plays
by The Neo-FuturistsThis collection of 100 short (very short) plays from The Neo-Futurists' acclaimed cult hit Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind was originally published by Chicago Plays in 1993. The show presents 30 plays in 60 minutes, its ensemble of writer/performers generating between two and 12 new plays each week, as dictated by a roll of the dice. The material runs the gamut of style, tone, and topic: musical, confession, agit-prop, poetic gesture, physical comedy, puppet theater, audience interrogation, folk song, sex joke, and many more. The plays are funny, moving, challenging, powerful, and occasionally just plain weird. There is no fourth wall in Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind - the show embraces the ideal that theater is created in the connection between audience and performer. Randomness, dynamism, speed, brevity, and planned obsolescence are celebrated and exploited to engage and refresh all participants. The plays stand as an entertaining document of the show's output, and they are ideal for scene study, auditions, and competitions.

100 Poems from the Japanese
by Kenneth RexrothIt is remarkable that any Westerner--even so fine a poet as Kenneth Rexroth--could have captured in translation so much of the subtle essence of classic Japanese poetry: the depth of controlled passion, the austere elegance of style, the compressed richness of imagery. The poems are drawn chiefly from the traditional Manyoshu, Kokinshu and Hyakunin Isshu collections, but there are also examplaes of haiku and other later forms. The sound of the Japanese texts i reproduced in Romaji script and the names of the poets in the calligraphy of Ukai Uchiyama. The translator's introduction gives us basic background on the history and nature of Japanese poetry, which is supplemented by notes on the individual poets and an extensive bibliography.

100 metro
by Ramon Saizarbitoria ZabaletaLehenengo argitalpenetik hogei urte pasa diren honetan, nekez aurkituko dugu 100 metro irakurri ez duen euskal literaturzalerik. Nobelak orain artean izan dituen hamar argitalpenak edo lau itzulpenak geurean soilik bakanen batzuek duten arrakastaren lekuko dira. Diktaduraren zentsoreen aginduz, 1974ko argitarapena sekuestratu egin zuten. 1976an amnistiatu ondoren iritsi zen nobela irakurleen eskuetara. 1985ean Alfonso Ungriaren zuzendaritzapean nobelaren izen bera daraman filmea egin zen. Eskuetan duzuen hau 10. edizioa da, eta eskubide osoz gure klasikoetako bat dagoeneko. Zerraldo erori arte ihesleak ibilitako azken 100 metroek iradokitzen dute nobelan giza-dimentsioaren alderdirik intimoen eta sakonena. Bakardade hori areagotzea baizik ez dute helburu heriotzaren gertalekutik kanpora txertatutako flash indiferenteago edo sentiberagoek, beti ere heriotzaren mugatik honantzago daudenak. Harantzago heriotzaren unibertsoa hasten baita, bizitzaren azken irudi eta oroitzapen iheskorrak ere sustengu baten bila gertatzen diren espazioa. Halabehar kapritxosoenak iheslearen inkontrura erakarritako testigu anonimoa bihurtuko da nobelan zehar protagonistaren abenturaren ardatz. Hark erakarriko du beregana iheslearen ahalegina eta azken borondatea eta, bidenabar, narrazioarenak. Hari eskainiko dizkio ihesleak, maitasun erritual trajiko baten aurrean bageunde bezala, bere bizitza ofrendan. Maitale bitxi eta anbibalentea izaki ordea lekuko hori; izan ere, biak daude, iheslea eta lekukoa, maiz bizitza bera ere zaletua den harreman ironiko itsu batean giltzapetuta. Protagonista bakarrik dago bere patu tristearen aurrean, eta zu, irakurle, espektadore izatera behartuta zaude. Seguru nobela irakurri ostean, poetak esan zuen bezala, begi eta bihotz berriez ikusiko duzula mundua.
