La madriguera, el alimento: hacia su búsqueda -hacia su cobijo- nos guían madres e hijas, y madres y huérfanas, y germinantes; también la niña que se fue y la niña que no se fue, y los ángeles de placenta sonora y los ángeles que aman. Mientras tanto, mientras las flores se cazan porque a la belleza no le queda otro remedio, mientras el cuerpo desemboca y los nombres se dicen en la herida, advierte Aurora H. Camero: hasta que supe mi sexo // y era violeta/ violeta/ violeta/ violeta/ violeta/ violeta/ violeta violeta/ violeta/ violeta....Hasta que supe mi sexo: antes ha sucedido algo, más sucederá después. Estos poemas nos cuentan el viaje de una vida, nos incluyen en esta historia en la que caben la ternura y la emoción de aquello que se desea, y al mismo tiempo su crudeza y su violencia.Violeta es el libro de muchas preguntas, qué pauta seguirá mi cuerpo/ tallo o polvo/ contra su imagen, y de las afirmaciones.

Out of the Cage opens in 1956, in Argentina, with the freakish death of Aurora Berro, and descends into a dark philosophical exploration of humanity and mortality. In the midst of her family’s celebration of a national holiday, an LP, careening through the air like a “demented boomerang,” severs her jugular. Her family— an agglomeration of perversions, deformities, and obsessions—seems at first not to notice, singing on. Aurora is left behind in a voyeuristic limbo as an omniscient first-person narrator, to observe the depravity of her family and reflect on the farce of her life and human existence. Fernanda García Lao has been called “the strangest writer of Argentine literature,” and in Out of the Cage, she lives up to that distinction. The book is saturated in strangeness, a blend of formal experimentation, eroticism, grotesque theatricality, and dark humor that evokes the absurdist fictions of Witold Gombrowicz and the style of Silvina Ocampo. The result is a macabre and fantastic vaudeville, a tragicomedy, a kind of Dadaist opus against ideas of eternal beauty and fixed identity, against absolute concepts and universality.

Text in Arabic. There is a thing in the spirit of the words that blends them with danger and risk, and it is not true that the wind throws them into our ears. You might wait for the echoes of spoken words to return stronger to the present, the words whom their lives ended back when they were spoken. Like a bull born from a needle's eye, and no matter how hard the bull tries to go back through it, he will not find any way back! Allah have granted Aurora a secret that made people attached easily to her, and urged to reveal before her, there did impressions and dreams explode to her hearing, and the wounded stories got repeated, so did Aurora listen willingly and carefully to it all. When her in-laws decided that the moment of truth have arrived, they began talking endlessly, until the small trifles ended up as massive mountains. What story is there on Aurora's chest? And what fate awaits her?

Written by Arctic expert Polly Evans, this new, thoroughly updated fourth edition of Bradt's Northern Lights: a Practical Travel Guide does what it says on the tin, providing practical guidance to the best places to view the natural phenomenon also known as the aurora borealis. Designed for the many people who dream of witnessing this spectacle, it remains the only guidebook to provide detailed treatment of optimum locations across North America (Canada, Alaska), Greenland and Europe (Sweden, Norway, Finland and Iceland) while also covering practicalities, with this edition providing greater detail on a wider range of accommodation options, from budget hotels to Sweden's spectacular ICEHOTEL, built each year from river water before melting in spring. The northern lights - arguably the greatest light show you'll ever see - are a major, increasingly popular tourist draw of the Arctic and sub-Arctic winter.

The guide is further enriched by suggestions for complementary daytime activities such as dog sledging, skiing, snowshoeing, snowmobiling and wildlife safaris; an examination of the reactions of the early explorers to their first sightings of this phenomenon; and insights into the myths and legends of the northern indigenous peoples. There is even advice on how and where to get married in ice chapels! Whether the northern lights are still on your bucket list or you are an experienced aurora aficionado, Bradt's comprehensive guide to the Northern Lights remains the essential companion to planning and getting the most out of any trip to watch one of the world's most remarkable events.

Book 6 in the Crisanta Knight series. Oh what a difference a day makes. When I was back at Lady Agnue’s School for Princesses & Other Female Protagonists, I used to wonder how I would make it through an entire day of classes, magic training, and homework. As the legendary magic flux known as the Vicennalia Aurora emerged, I wondered how I could possibly overthrow the evil king of Camelot, defeat Glinda in Oz, and get back in time to stop the antagonists from breaking out of Alderon and invading my world of Book—all in one day. I guess that’s what good friends are for. Good friends, and magic. My epic powers to give life and take it away were getting stronger and being heightened by the Vicennalia Aurora, so I had the ammunition to challenge every obstacle and villain that came our way. However, one problem remained: How could I unleash my magic to achieve our goals and defeat our enemies while keeping the power from corrupting me? From Merlin to the Fairy Godmother Supreme, everywhere I’d gone in recent days I’d been supplemented by powerful people who all thought they knew what I was capable of and how my morality should develop. But they didn’t understand my burden. I wanted to save all the realms that needed me; I wanted to save everyone. But could I do that and save myself from succumbing to the disease ingrained in my magic? I didn’t know. I sure missed the days of homework though.

Cuando murió Julio Cortázar, en su casa de la Rue Martel, en París, quedaron algo más de cuatro mil quinientos libros que su viuda, Aurora Bernárdez, donó a la Fundación Juan March en 1993.
