Duelo por Miguel Pruneda
by David Toscana«David Toscana es el más original y disfrutable escritor de su generación.» El Observador Recuerde el alma dormida, avive el seso y despierte, contemplando cómo se pasa la vida, cómo se viene la muerte tan callando; cuán presto se va el plazer, cómo, después de acordado, da dolor; cómo, a nuestro parescer, cualquiera tiempo pasado fue mejor. La crítica ha dicho: «Deseo que nunca lean a Toscana. La verdad es que no lo merecen. Que nos lo dejen a los bastardos, a los desamparados, a los miserables, a nosotros los bárbaros, los desafortunados.» Goodreads «Toscana se ha inventado una novela porque necesitaba escribir una crítica, recuerda como Nabokov, ambos estetas de la recepción, que el lector tiene siempre la última palabra, recrimina la frivolidad del sector editorial y denuncia sin ambages que en nuestro panorama literario sobra ruido y faltan nueces, y que mucha literatura no es digna de ese nombre.» Babelia, El País «De página en página uno ve doble, ve triple, ve magia. Algunos tienen el alegre alcohol. Toscana posee la feliz imaginación. Inventa diez, veinte, cien novelas a partir de un descubrimiento macabro. ¡Rápido, queremos otra ronda!» Le Nouvel Observateur

Duende: Poems
by Tracy K. SmithThe award-winning second collection by the Poet Laureate of the United StatesDuende, that dark and elusive force described by Federico García Lorca, is the creative and ecstatic power an artist seeks to channel from within. It can lead the artist toward revelation, but it must also, Lorca says, accept and even serenade the possibility of death. Tracy K. Smith's bold second poetry collection explores history and the intersections of folk traditions, political resistance, and personal survival. Duende gives passionate testament to suppressed cultures, and allows them to sing.
Duende: Poems, 1966-Now
by Quincy TroupeThe selected poems from over fifty years by the great poet and biographer and friend of Miles Davis.Quincy Troupe writes poetry in great waves. The words are just notes. It's the music you make with them that matters. He's not a wordsmith, he's a shaman conjuring long repetitive lines, cadences of looking across the sea towards Africa and haunted by the legacy of slavery and racism, or of remembering fellow conjurers, poets and musical artists, celebrating, always celebrating, but never only that. In the fifty-page, incantatory poem, "Ghost Voices," there is a longing to be reconnected to the past, and a longing too to be free of it. In the short title poem, "Duende: For García Lorca and Miles Davis," there lies, nakedly, Troupe's credo: "...secrets, mystery infused in black magic / that enters bodies in forms of music, art/ poetry imbuing language with sovereignty / in blood spooling back through violent centuries..." The version of the great poem "Avalanche (number 3)" that appears here is different from the version of the same poem he published nearly 25 years ago--in exactly the same way that a jazz artist picks up his horn to play the same song a little differently every time.Troupe is a generous and gregarious poet in this giant offering that includes many new poems, as well as a selection chosen from across his eleven previously published volumes. What's remarkable is the constancy, the energy, and how he's always looking right at you in the here and now, and at the same time sees something over your shoulder that others don't see yet, maybe a distant storm gathering over the waters, something we're going to need to rise up and face soon enough.

Duerces, atajo al agujero de gusano
by Monica Garcia RodriguezRelatos que nunca fueron pensados para tener nada en común pero que acaban conectando en Duerces a través de un agujero de gusano. <P><P>«La siguiente pregunta era ineludible, habían surgido varios nombres en la conversación, pero sólo uno marcaba la pauta... ¿quién era Mariam? Este es el resultado, un algo que no es más que tiempo y espacio, nada tangible lo rodea pero se presiente». <P>El título divide al libro, o el libro divide al título. <P> La trama encuentra el misterio en Duerces y sus entrañas las componen una serie de relatos creados a lo largo de cinco años durante el inútil rastreo de las verdades universales.
Duerme tranquilo
by Daniel Marchán Esther Hervy Albert Spano«¿Recuerdas la primera vez que trataste de contener la respiración? Eras un niño y te divertiste. Llenas tus pulmones tragando tanto aire como sea posible, inflas tus mejillas y cuentas hasta sesenta. Yo también practiqué este pequeño juego inocente, y todavía sonrío cuando lo pienso. Pero hoy todo ha cambiado y tengo miedo. Desde que fui nombrado Director de esta gran compañía hace unos días, alguien o algo me impide respirar cuando trato de llenar mis pulmones. Una mano invisible presiona mi pecho o pellizca mi nariz para asegurarse de que ninguna molécula de oxígeno alimente mi cuerpo. Cualquier forma de vida ahora está prohibida. E incluso si aún no estoy muerto, no sé cuánto tiempo podré mantener.»

Duet
by Eden Winters2nd EditionA conqueror's decree can't separate Aillil Callaghan from his Scottish heritage. He wears his clan's forbidden plaid with pride, awaiting the day he becomes Laird, restores his family's name, and fights to free Scotland from English tyranny. An Englishman in his home? Abomination! Yet the tutor his father engaged for Aillil's younger brothers may have something to teach the Callaghan heir as well. Violinist and scholar Malcolm Byerly fled Kent in fear, seeking nothing more than a quiet post, eager minds to teach, and for no one to learn his secrets. He didn't count on his charges' English-hating barbarian of an older brother, or on red-and-green tartan concealing a kindred soul. A shared love of music breaks down the barriers between two worlds. Aillil's father threatens their love, but a far more dangerous enemy tears them apart. They vanish into legend. Two centuries later, concert violinist Billy Byerly arrives at Castle Callaghan--and feels strangely at home. Legends speak of a Lost Laird who haunts the fortress in wait of his lover's return. Billy doesn't believe in legends, ghosts, or love that outlasts life. But the Lost Laird knows his own.First edition published by Torquere Press (2010).

Duett
by Eden Winters Alina BeckerA uch nicht die Anordnungen der englischen Eroberer können Aillil Callaghan von seinem schottischen Erbe trennen. Er trägt die verbotenen Farben seines Clans mit Stolz und erwartet den Tag, an dem er zum Clan-Oberhaupt ernannt wird, um den guten Namen seiner Familie wieder herzustellen und darum zu kämpfen, Schottland von der Tyrannei der Engländer zu befreien. Ein Engländer in seinem Haus? Ein Gräuel! Doch der Hauslehrer, den sein Vater für Aillils jüngere Brüder angeheuert hat, kann auch dem Callaghan-Erben noch etwas beibringen. Der Violinist und Gelehrte Malcolm Byerly floh einst voller Angst aus Kent und suchte nichts mehr, als eine ruhige Stelle, kluge Köpfe zum Unterrichten und niemanden, der seine Geheimnisse aufdecken würde. Doch er hatte nicht mit dem Engländer hassenden Barbaren eines älteren Bruders seiner Schützlinge gerechnet, oder damit, dass sich unter rot-grünem Karomuster eine verwandte Seele verbergen könnte. Die geteilte Liebe zur Musik reißt die Mauer zwischen ihren beiden verschiedenen Welten ein. Aillils Vater gefährdet ihre Liebe, aber ein viel gefährlicherer Feind reißt sie schließlich auseinander. Sie verschwinden in die schottischen Legenden. Zwei Jahrhunderte später kommt der Konzertviolinist Billy Byerly im Callaghan-Schloss an - und fühlt sich seltsamerweise sofort zu Hause. Die Legenden erzählen von einem verschwundenen Lord, der die Burg heimsucht und darauf wartet, dass sein Liebster zu ihm zurückkehrt. Billy glaubt nicht an Legenden, Geister oder eine Liebe, die ein Leben überdauern kann. Aber der "Verschwundene Lord" weiß, was er will.
Duetto
by Eden Winters Emanuela CardarelliI decreti di un conquistatore non possono separare Aillil Callaghan dal suo retaggio scozzese. Indossa con orgoglio il tartan del suo clan - ora proibito - aspettando il giorno in cui diventerà Laird, restaurando così il buon nome della sua famiglia e combattendo per liberare la Scozia dalla tirannia inglese. Un inglese nella sua casa? Un abominio! Eppure, il tutore che suo padre ha assunto per i suoi fratelli può avere qualcosa da insegnare anche all'erede dei Callaghan. Il violinista e letterato Malcolm Byerly ha lasciato il Kent spinto dalla paura, cercando solo un impiego tranquillo, menti curiose a cui insegnare e un luogo ove mantenere celati i suoi segreti. Non sa che tra i suoi studenti vi sarà anche il fratello maggiore dei ragazzi - un barbaro che odia gli inglesi - e che il suo tartan rosso e verde nasconde un cuore affine. Il comune amore per la musica rompe le barriere tra due mondi. Il padre di Aillil minaccia il loro amore, ma un pericolo più grande li divide. I due svaniscono nella leggenda. Due secoli dopo, il violinista Billy Byerly arriva a Castle Callaghan e si sente stranamente a casa. Le leggende parlano di un Laird perduto che infesta il castello in attesa del ritorno del suo amante, ma Billy non crede alle leggende, ai fantasmi, o all'amore che dura oltre la vita. Il Laird perduto, però, sa cosa gli appartiene.
