Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New paperback edition of The Reservoir from author, actor, and musician David Duchovny includes a bonus, brand-new short story, "The Scare Owl" The Reservoir follows an unexceptional man in an exceptional time. We see our present-day pandemic world and New York City through the eyes of a former Wall Street veteran, Ridley, as he looks back upon his life in his enforced quarantine solitude, wondering what it all means and who he really is. Sitting and brooding night after night, gazing out his huge picture window high above the Central Park Reservoir, Ridley spots a flashing light in an apartment across the park as if a lonely quarantined person is signaling him in Morse code. His determination to find out who this mystery woman is leads him on an epic quest that will ultimately tempt him with either delusional madness or the fulfillment of his own mythic fate. Is he a dying man going mad or an everyman metamorphosing into a hero? Or both? We accompany Ridley as he leaves the safety of his apartment window to save the Fifth Avenue femme fatale and descends into a dangerous, increasingly surreal world of global conspiracies, madness, and sickness of this viral time. As Ridley's actions grow more and more uncharacteristic, he realizes the key to all the mysteries of now, and even all of history, seem to lie deep beneath the freezing waters of the reservoir. The Reservoir is a twisted rom-com for our distanced time, when the merest touch could kill and conspiracy theories propagate like viruses—a contemporary union of Death in Venice, Rear Window, and The Plague. The paperback edition includes a bonus, brand-new short story, "The Scare Owl"!
Download or read book Pedro and the Birth of Air Unlimited written by Saxon and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2008-09-17 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alaska Taylor is a warm, compassionate lady of faith with above-average intelligence. She believes in things beyond human understanding and she believes that animals can reason, think and communicate. Alaska believes that even if animals can ́t speak to humans, they can speak to each other and they have the same feelings that people experience. She ́s about to find out she ́s right. She ́s about to be introduced to someone who will show her things that nobody else knows. That someone comes in the form of Pedro, a parrot she inherits. Pedro makes her aware that animals are living a completely different life than humans can see. Is Pedro unique? He is probably unique in his ability to converse with a human, but certainly all animals can communicate with themselves and they can convey their thoughts to others outside of their species. Pedro is somewhat superior but still not all that different. He ́s like a little angry high-strung man trapped in a body with wings. Together, Alaska and Pedro take on an evil that threatens the lives of animals living in a zoo. Pedro also helps Alaska to see that transporting animals from the zoo where she works to other facilities is hard on the animals and frightens them. The animals dread having to be relocated to a new home or for medical care that must be provided elsewhere. With this new knowledge, Alaska helps form the service Air Unlimited in order to facilitate safer, faster transportation exclusively for animals. She also endeavors to protect the animals from an evil at the zoo that threatens their lives. It ́s a difficult task and Alaska is unable to let anybody know how she gets her information, but Alaska knows that Pedro is telling the truth and she has to do something.
Download or read book Love Poems by Pedro Salinas written by Pedro Salinas and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2010-05 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Pedro Salinas’s 1933 collection of love poems, La voz a ti debida, was introduced to American audiences in Willis Barnstone’s 1975 English translation, it was widely regarded as the greatest sequence of love poems written by a man or a woman, in any language, in the twentieth century. Now, seventy-five years after its publication, the reputation of the poems and its multifaceted writer remains untarnished. A portrait of their era, the poems, from a writer in exile from his native civil war–torn Spain, now reemerge in our time. In this new, facing-page bilingual edition, Barnstone has added thirty-six poems written in the form of letters from Salinas to his great love, Katherine Whitmore. Discovered years later, these poems were written during and after the composition of La voz and, though disguised as prose, have all the rhythms and sounds of lineated lyric poetry. Taken together, the poems and letters are a history, a dramatic monologue, and a crushing and inevitable ending to the story of a man consumed by his love and his art. Bolstered by an elegant foreword by Salinas’s contemporary, the poet Jorge Guillén, and a masterly afterword by the Salinas scholar, Enric Bou, that considers the poet and his legacy for twenty-first century world poetry, Love Poems by Pedro Salinas will be cause for celebration throughout the world of verse and beyond.

Download or read book The Contestation of Patriarchy in Luis Mart n Santos Work written by Miquel Bota and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-06-10 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book proposes that Spanish author Luis Martín-Santos’ work focuses on the effects of patriarchy and hegemonic masculinity on men, to actively contribute to freeing both men and women from the yoke of patriarchy. It aims for a new resonance of Luis Martín-Santos. It analyzes the influence of Heidegger, Freud and Sartre in Martín-Santos’ psychiatric essays and his fictional works: the novel Tiempo de silencio (Time of Silence), the collection of short stories Apólogos, and the posthumous fragment Tiempo de destrucción (Time of Destruction). It demonstrates that alongside the political critique of Franco’s dictatorship, Martín-Santos’ creative writings are an attempt to destroy the prevalent masculine myths of Western patriarchy, and a proposal to create new myths for the future.
