Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Octavio Paz launches a far-ranging excursion into the "incestuous and tempestuous" relations between modern poetry and the modern epoch. From the perspective of a Spanish-American and a poet, he explores the opposite meanings that the word "modern" has held for poets and philosophers, artists, and scientists. Tracing the beginnings of the modern poetry movement to the pre-Romantics, Paz outlines its course as a contradictory dialogue between the poetry of the Romance and Germanic languages. He discusses at length the unique character of Anglo-American "modernism" within the avant-garde movement, and especially vis- -vis French and Spanish-American poetry. Finally he offers a critique of our era's attitude toward the concept of time, affirming that we are at the "twilight of the idea of the future." He proposes that we are living at the end of the avant-garde, the end of that vision of the world and of art born with the first Romantics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A two-part climax to The Last Vigil, An Agony of Flame and The Fury and the Mire, concludes the story of the fall of Constantinople. Here is an intense evocation, both of the gruelling eight-week siege itself and of the chaotic as well as terrifying aftermath. In part three, Niccolo and Demetrius serve on the great Roman land walls, enduring bombardment and nocturnal hand-to-hand combat. Nestor-Iskander reappears, a deserter now from the Turkish camp. Niccolo is badly wounded, recovering in Theodora’s house in the suburb of Studion. Then comes the night of the final Ottoman assault when, after a valiant defence, treachery leads to massacre (including the death of Demetrius) and Niccolo finds himself among a scatter of survivors. Part four centres on Niccolo’s frantic attempts to find a way through a city, now being systematically sacked. Moreover, he must think of others. Demetrius might be dead but Nestor-Iskander has survived and demands refuge. Then there is Theodora locked up with the faithful in Hagia Sophia. Can Niccolo reach her before the marauding enemy? So, he travels deeper and deeper into his adopted city’s heart of darkness. Nestor finds protectors, loses, then regains them. Theodora is found then lost forever. Mehmet appears once more; Cinnamon never reappears. Finally, after the city has been overwhelmed and pacified, Niccolo sets sail westward across the Mediterranean, not home to Venice but to an Atlantic shore where a new age of exploration is about to dawn.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are ghosts waiting to be ghosts. She awakens from herself like antinomy in the mucky depths of a mire. She has no memory to witness her past through her present. Her recollections exist as the emotions surrounding the forgotten events of her former life. And in the distance, a gangrenous conurbation crumbles upon the menacing horizon. Emotional familiarity moves her soil stain bare feet toward the decimation that might have been her city; her unknown lost home. She finds friends and enemies and love and terror in the grim ashes of her past upon her present and the dust of the present upon her Möbius past. The world of this story is where the cavernous brutality of Veronica Roth's Divergent crashes over the parapet and into the stranding paranoia of JG Ballard's Concrete Island and both are beaten to death by the panopticism of Michel Foucault's Discipline and Punish. The Girl From The Mire takes place in the tenebrous night and battles with an inner monologue of Nietzschean eternal recurrence against fissures of Foucaultian historical caesura. And there is a monster flowing in her blood that breaths like a broken buried pine lid coffin with the hollow echo of a crackling distorting dusty old record player. Her body wants to destroy her with every atom.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this novella, the author clothes an actual backdrop with romanesque garnitures, offering in this way the reader a sympathetic, friendly story. The work is practically articulated in two settings: In the first one has essentially the life of the parents of our protagonist the leading role, and in terms of place Ireland, Great Britain and India. In the second one, the roaring and tragical scandals, incidents, duels and deaths that were springing up in the wake through Europe, America and Australia of our narrative's heroine, of that femme fatale, rolling stone sinner, Lola Montez, and which marked decisively the 19th century and proclaim her as an icon among the destinies of the track of the times. In brief, a scenario of literary scenes, a constellation of dramatical developments, which certainly do not leave untouched, uncarried away and unimpressed the reader.
