Book excerpt: In the vibrant heart of spring, a garden blooms, alive with the fluttering of colorful butterflies. Among these natural wonders roams William, a young boy with an innocent yet misguided fascination for capturing these delicate creatures. Armed with his glass jar, he embarks on daily expeditions to ensnare them, dreaming of showcasing their beauty to his peers. However, not all butterflies succumb to William's grasp; some elude capture with their swift and cunning maneuvers. Those less fortunate find themselves prisoners within the confines of glass walls, their freedom stripped away. One fateful day, as William prepares to immortalize his captives in his collection, a profound realization dawns upon him through a vivid dream. In this dream-turned-nightmare, William experiences the plight of the butterflies firsthand. Transformed into one himself, he endures the agony and despair of captivity and imminent destruction at the hands of another child. The pain and fear are palpable as he is pressed between ...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2024, internationally bestselling author and literary icon Julia Alvarez's In the Time of the Butterflies is "beautiful, heartbreaking and alive ... a lyrical work of historical fiction based on the story of the Mirabal sisters, revolutionary heroes who had opposed and fought against Trujillo." (Concepción de León, New York Times) Alvarez’s new novel, The Cemetery of Untold Stories, is coming April 2, 2024. Pre-order now! It is November 25, 1960, and three beautiful sisters have been found near their wrecked Jeep at the bottom of a 150-foot cliff on the north coast of the Dominican Republic. The official state newspaper reports their deaths as accidental. It does not mention that a fourth sister lives. Nor does it explain that the sisters were among the leading opponents of Gen. Rafael Leónidas Trujillo’s dictatorship. It doesn’t have to. Everybody knows of Las Mariposas—the Butterflies. In this extraordinary novel, the voices of all four sisters--Minerva, Patria, María Teresa, and the survivor, Dedé--speak across the decades to tell their own stories, from secret crushes to gunrunning, and to describe the everyday horrors of life under Trujillo’s rule. Through the art and magic of Julia Alvarez’s imagination, the martyred Butterflies live again in this novel of courage and love, and the human costs of political oppression. "Alvarez helped blaze the trail for Latina authors to break into the literary mainstream, with novels like In the Time of the Butterflies and How the García Girls Lost Their Accents winning praise from critics and gracing best-seller lists across the Americas."—Francisco Cantú, The New York Times Book Review "This Julia Alvarez classic is a must-read for anyone of Latinx descent." —Popsugar.com "A gorgeous and sensitive novel . . . A compelling story of courage, patriotism and familial devotion." —People "Shimmering . . . Valuable and necessary." —Los Angeles Times "A magnificent treasure for all cultures and all time.” —St. Petersburg Times "Alvarez does a remarkable job illustrating the ruinous effect the 30-year dictatorship had on the Dominican Republic and the very real human cost it entailed."—Cosmopolitan.com

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Sometimes ideas change the world. This astonishing, miraculous, shattering, inspiring book captures the origins and the arc of the movement for sex equality. It’s a book whose time has come—always, but perhaps now more than ever.” —Cass Sunstein, coauthor of Nudge Under certain conditions, small simple actions can produce large and complex “butterfly effects.” Butterfly Politics shows how Catharine A. MacKinnon turned discrimination law into an effective tool against sexual abuse—grounding and predicting the worldwide #MeToo movement—and proposes concrete steps that could have further butterfly effects on women’s rights. Thirty years after she won the U.S. Supreme Court case establishing sexual harassment as illegal, this timely collection of her previously unpublished interventions on consent, rape, and the politics of gender equality captures in action the creative and transformative activism of an icon. “MacKinnon adapts a concept from chaos theory in which the tiny motion of a butterfly’s wings can trigger a tornado half a world away. Under the right conditions, she posits, small actions can produce major social transformations.” —New York Times “MacKinnon [is] radical, passionate, incorruptible and a beautiful literary stylist... Butterfly Politics is a devastating salvo fired in the gender wars... This book has a single overriding aim: to effect global change in the pursuit of equality.” —The Australian “Sexual Harassment of Working Women was a revelation. It showed how this anti-discrimination law—Title VII—could be used as a tool... It was the beginning of a field that didn’t exist until then.” —U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Book excerpt: In 1990 I had several experiences that inspired me to document my nightly dream journeys. I had recently learned about lucid dreaming and after having my first fully lucid dream I became an instant devotee to the art and practice of conscious dreaming. Like others who have had a taste of waking awareness in a dream, it was an eye opening experience that reinvigorated and reinvented the way I perceived the world. After I filled several dream journals with my oneironautic expeditions, I was inspired to take key themes and experiences from my journals and weave a narrative to tie them together in the form of a storybook, The Butterfly Paradox was written and illustrated over the course of 20 years. It is my hope that in sharing these experiences, others will resonate with the motifs that unite us at the most sublime levels. Over the years of connecting with other dreamers, I have learned that we all share archetypal themes that surface in our dreaming minds. We subconsciously dress these archetypal forms into varied costumes and set pieces for the theatrical productions of our dreams. In dreams E=MC�; Emotions take on Mass giving the dreaming landscape its beauty and terror at the Speed of Thought. It's a magical place where one is free the ride the whims of the mind. So, take a step behind the curtain and enjoy a backstage pass to the storehouse of consciousness-a plunge into the Alayan Sea."The Butterfly Paradox is a haunting yet whimsical fable about a child's extraordinary adventure to a place where one's state of mind creates one's reality. Aaron Goodnight, a boy whose parents are separated, finds his way to the strange bubble world of Port Utolea where he befriends an enchanting girl named Leela Watermoon. She invites him to the Royal Butterfly Festival but things do not go as planned. Together they encounter several frightening obstacles and must learn that the path to transformation is through the very things they fear the most."
