Book excerpt: En 1908, el capitán mexicano Ramón Arnaud y su esposa adolescente parten hacia un pequeño atolón en el Pacífico, conocido por los exploradores españoles como la Isla de la Pasión. Acompañado de once soldados y sus familias, el capitán tiene órdenes de defender la isla ante la improbable invasión francesa. Con su peligroso arrecife de coral y una laguna estancada, la isla es amenazadora e inhóspita y sus nuevos habitantes deben luchar para sobrevivir. Logran crear una comunidad viable, pero entre la agitación política en su país y los comienzos de la primera Guerra Mundial, se ven olvidados en medio del Pacífico. Abandonados a la intemperie, uno a uno van cayendo víctimas del escorbuto, el hambre, la desesperación, la rivalidad, la lujuria y la irremediable violencia. Alicia, una mujer resuelta e ingeniosa termina convirtiéndose en el punto de apoyo para los demás, cuya supervivencia dependerá en su valentía y astucia.

Y, sin embargo, ahora se veía obligada a enfrentarse a él de nuevo, ya que necesitaba la ayuda económica del implacable magnate... ¡pero absolutamente nada más! Louise le ofreció a Dimitri la única cosa que él pensaba que su dinero no podía comprar: ¡la isla griega que debería haber sido suya! Ella confiaba en hacer un buen trato, pero Dimitri sabía que solo podía haber un único ganador... y la palabra "fracaso" no figuraba en su vocabulario.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Containing roughly 850 entries about Spanish-language literature throughout the world, this expansive work provides coverage of the varied countries, ethnicities, time periods, literary movements, and genres of these writings. Providing a thorough introduction to Spanish-language literature worldwide and across time is a tall order. However, World Literature in Spanish: An Encyclopedia contains roughly 850 entries on both major and minor authors, themes, genres, and topics of Spanish literature from the Middle Ages to the present day, affording an amazingly comprehensive reference collection in a single work. This encyclopedia describes the growing diversity within national borders, the increasing interdependence among nations, and the myriad impacts of Spanish literature across the globe. All countries that produce literature in Spanish in Europe, Africa, the Americas, and Asia are represented, covering both canonical authors and emerging contemporary writers and trends. Underrepresented writings—such as texts by women writers, queer and Afro-Hispanic texts, children's literature, and works on relevant but less studied topics such as sports and nationalism—also appear. While writings throughout the centuries are covered, those of the 20th and 21st centuries receive special consideration.

Book excerpt: This volume offers a critical study of a representative selection of Latin American women writers who have made major contributions to all literary genres and represent a wide range of literary perspectives and styles. This volume offers a critical study of a representative selection of Latin American women writers who have made major contributions to all literary genres and represent a wide range of literary perspectives and styles. Many of these women have attained the highest literary honours: Gabriela Mistral won the Nobel Prize in 1945; Clarice Lispector attracted the critical attention of theorists working mainly outside the Hispanic area; others have made such telling contributions to particular strands of literature that their names are immediately evocative of specific currents or styles. Elena Poniatowska is associated with testimonial writing; Isabel Allende and Laura Esquivel are known for the magical realism of their texts; others, such as Juana de Ibarbourou and Laura Restrepo remain relatively unknown despite their contributions to erotic poetry and to postcolonial prose fiction respectively. The distinctiveness of this volume lies in its attention to writers from widely differing historical and social contexts and to the diverse theoretical approaches adopted by the authors. Brígida M. Pastor teaches Latin American literature and film at the University of Glasgow . Her publications include Fashioning Cuban Feminism and Beyond, El discurso de Gertrudis Gómez de Avellaneda: Identidad Femenina y Otredad; and Discursos Caribenhos: Historia, Literatura e Cinema Lloyd Hughes Davies teaches Spanish American Literature at Swansea University. His publications include Isabel Allende, La casa de los espíritus and Projections of Peronism in Argentine Autobiography, Biography and Fiction.

Book excerpt: Law of the Sea, From Grotius to the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea: Liber Amicorum Judge Hugo Caminos honors the accomplished career path of a distinguished scholar, professor, diplomat and judge in the global field of the Law of the Sea. Judge Hugo Caminos was not only defined by his professional accomplishments, including his appointment as Deputy Director of the Office of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General of the United Nations for the Third United Nations Conference on the Law of the Sea, and his work as a Judge on the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea. He is also remembered, with gratitude and admiration, as a person of unfaltering moral character and intellectual integrity. The essays collected in this volume are dedicated to his multifacetic life. Consistent with the honoree’s background, the accomplished contributors to this book address relevant issues of the law of the sea, dealt with in twelve parts, covering from historical perspectives to the UNCLOS, the law of the sea in polar regions, the Area, the particular issues of islands and archipelagic States, the freedom of navigation and its attached responsibilities, piracy and the latest awards on maritime delimitation, as well as recent practice of the International Tribunal on the Law of the Sea (ITLOS), dispute settlement procedures and some unsettled maritime disputes, from the respective author''s point of view. All those interested in the Law of the Sea will find a seminal new work in Law of the Sea, From Grotius to the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea: Liber Amicrocum Judge Hugo Caminos.
