by Sam Hill'Fast, funny and popping with surprises' Robert CraisTop Keirnan has got problems. The research firm he's been running out of his 30s-era schoolhouse in Athens, Georgia, is beginning to founder, thanks to his former office manager (and ex-lover), who has stolen half his clients and set up shop on her own. And Top is no longer banking big bucks as an operative for Shaw's Mercantile Marine since they've decided his addiction to the adrenaline buzz is more of a risk than an asset. Things are looking tough for Top, when he gets a call.American Civil War General 'Stonewall' Jackson was shot by his own men while on night patrol. His aide-de-camp reached into the General's saddlebags to find something to press against the wound and pulled out a new flag, the Stars and Bars. Stonewall died, but the Bloody Red Rag, as the flag became known, went on to become the most valuable relic of the war. Now it's been stolen and Top is asked to find it. Normally Top wouldn't touch a job like this: the money's too small, and he's not excited about his arrogant, bigoted client, Professor Jay Pope-Scott. Problem is, Top badly needs those twenty thousand dollars. So he's soon taking on fanatical collectors, ultra-right-wing religious paramilitaries, a biker gang, Fourth Federal Bank and his former lover to save the school and recover the flag.In this sequel to Sam Hill's knockout debut novel, BUZZ MONKEY, the action comes non-stop. The scrapes are daunting, the escapes hair-raising and the outcome stunningly unpredictable.

To carry his pack he rented a mule, which somehow escaped and stampeded a herd of cattle. That brought the wrath of big Mort Hooker of the Flag Six spread on the vacationing waddy, and once he had helped round up the cows Jack had to stop to fight Mort. That led to an even more horrendous experience at a goose ranch, where Jack became an unwilling goose herder.

Buzón de Tiempo
by Mario BenedettiEl conjunto de cuentos que compone Buzón de tiempo recorre las diferentes formas del encuentro: el recuerdo nostálgico de un amor perdido, los rumores de otras épocas, las llamadas sin respuesta, la identidad dolorosamente recuperada, los espejos que envejecen las imágenes, la inminencia de la muerte, el regreso de la conciencia con máscara de fantasma... Nostalgia, melancolía, amor y desamor, alegría y tristeza... es decir, todos esos sentimientos inherentes a la condición humana van a tener cabida en esta recopilación de relatos con los que el prolífico Benedetti va a exponer una parte de su visión de la realidad, siempre acompañado por ese toque de humor e ironía propias de este autor, y que ayuda a "aliviar" la crítica ante situaciones absurdas, intolerantes e injustas, que con frecuencia van a ser protagonistas de sus "retazos" de su particular "microcosmos". Los relatos críticos van a tocar los temas que siempre han preocupado al autor, como será el de las represiones políticas y la vulneración de los derechos más fundamentales del ser humano. Aunque la tónica general de los temas en este libro, y de la mayor parte de su producción literaria, va a ser la exaltación del sentimiento amoroso, la defensa de la soledad buscada o el humor de situaciones surrealista; se atreve, además, tanto con la poesía como con el relato, e incluso con la fórmula epistolar para reflejar las contradicciones que supone el amar, el olvidar, el odiar, el perdonar... el vivir, en definitiva. Como bien se define, este entrañable libro es "el mejor remedio para los incurables de soledad": relatos para esbozar una sonrisa como "Conciliar El Sueño" o "Asalto En La Noche"; para invitar a la reflexión como "Fin de Semana" o "Los Robinsones"; para aflorar la rabia como "Soñó Que Estaba Preso" o "El Diecinueve"; para incitar al sentimiento amoroso como "Ausencias"...y muchos más que conmoverán al lector y, lo más importante, despertará el "gusanillo" crítico y reflexivo que debe poseer todo el mundo. por Silvia Rodríguez
Buzón de tiempo
by Mario BenedettiEste libro de cuentos es un verdadero mosaico de emociones dibujadas entre señales de humo, naufragios, sueños y cartas arrojadas al centro del corazón: el mejor remedio para los incurables de soledad. Buzón de tiempo recorre las diferentes formas del encuentro: el recuerdo nostálgico de un amor perdido, los rumores de otras épocas, las llamadas sin respuesta, la identidad dolorosamente recuperada, los espejos que envejecen las imágenes, la inminencia de la muerte, el regreso de la conciencia con máscara de fantasma, y los guiños compartidos: el fútbol, el cine, Viglietti, el subcomandante Marcos... Mario Benedetti nos revela el mundo ya como poesía, ya como trampa, y siempre como promesa. Convoca a la emoción original apelando a sus mejores recursos: el humor más inteligente, la ironía más punzante, la ternura más conmovedora.
Buñuel y Remedios Varo: Dos momentos del surrealismo en México
by Varios autoresDos excepcionales entrevistas de Raquel Tibol a referentes internacionales del surrealismo que tuvo lugar en México: Remedios Varo y Luis Buñuel. La autora, una de las más importantes periodistas culturales que ha dado el país, da cátedra en estos textos sobre el arte de la conversación. Hace 61 años Raquel Tibol realizó una entrevista a Luis Buñuel como uno de sus primeros trabajos en nuestro país, publicada el 29 de noviembre de 1953 en México en la Cultura, suplemento del periódico Novedades. De acuerdo con el anecdotario, para hacerla lo abordó en los estudios cinematográficos donde filmaba La ilusión viaja en tranvía, y la conversación, -"cálida y sincera", se lee- tuvo lugar en la que fue la casa del cineasta en México. En definitiva, este libro recoge dos de las voces más claramente identificadas como parte del surrealismo, corriente artística de la Benjamin Péret dijo: "En nuestro tiempo se necesita un lenguaje nuevo y una manera de ver e interpretar al hombre y al mundo muy diferente de la que está en uso. ¿Cómo se podría dar una imagen o un trasunto de la vida actual, si no es por medio del surealismo? Guerras, revoluciones, angustia sin fin: los prodigios de la técnica empleados para aniquilar a los pueblos y desatar por todas partes el caos y la destrucción. Un enorme cambio se está produciendo. Una honda y enorme revolución camina hacia su meta en todos los continentes. El parto del futuro es siempre doloroso, pero nunca lo ha sido tanto como ahora. Un mundo se hunde envuelto en sus propias contradicciones."

by Thomas E. SimmonsFrom the Civil War to the Cuban independence movement to WWI, this historical epic follows the incredible life of a woman tragically bound to bloodshed. War brings about many strange events, but none stranger than the bullet that impregnated sixteen-year-old Annielise Quinn at the Battle of Vicksburg in 1863. After passing through the groin of a Confederate soldier, the bullet lodged itself in her pelvis. Such was the portentous beginning of Beverly Bethany Quinn, the &“bullet baby&” whose life was fated never to escape the perils of war. By 1915, Bethany thinks she has finally found peace, until a call from the British Crown brings a shocking revelation. To aid the Allies in the Great War overseas, England would like to purchase a cache of rifles owned by her family&’s sugar mill in Cuba—a cache that Bethany never knew existed. Years ago, Bethany and her uncle Jonathan supplied guns to the Cuban rebels against Spain. Has her uncle doomed her from beyond the grave to take part in slaughter once again? In preparation for the journey of her &“special cargo,&” Bethany sits down with her mother&’s old diary, returning to that fateful day in 1863, and unfolding an epic journey of war, survival, love, and betrayal spanning decades and nations.

And before the story ends, another brutal, random accident will redefine Laura's life once again.
