Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on pictorial, literary, screen, and operatic representations of Juana of Castile, this is the first interdisciplinary book that incorporates both sides of the coin (history and myth; fact and fiction) that shaped the enigmatic image of this much maligned Spanish queen. Even though the fictional reinvention of Juana of Castile has been the subject of sporadic articles, this is the first time that an English-language reader has access to a book that takes an in-depth look at the panorama of literary, pictorial, musical, and cinematic recreations of this historical character. The editors' aim is to incorporate works of authors from different countries (Spain, Mexico, the Dominican Republic, France) and an entire spectrum of literary genres (narrative, poetry, theater, essay), as well as opera and the visual arts. --From publisher's description.

This book was released on 2013-11-27 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Juana I de Castilla, conocida como Juana la Loca (Toledo, 6 de noviembre de 1479 - Tordesillas, 12 de abril de 1555), fue reina de Castilla de 1504 a 1555, y de Aragón y Navarra, desde 1516 hasta 1555, si bien desde 1506 no ejerció ningún poder efectivo y a partir de 1509 vivió encerrada en Tordesillas, primero por orden de su padre Fernando el Católico y después por orden de su hijo el rey Carlos I. Por nacimiento, fue infanta de Castilla y Aragón. Desde joven mostró signos de indiferencia religiosa que su madre trató de mantener en secreto. En 1496 contrajo matrimonio con Felipe el Hermoso, archiduque de Austria, duque de Borgoña y Brabante y conde de Flandes. Tuvo con él seis hijos. Por muerte de sus hermanos Juan e Isabel y de su sobrino Miguel de la Paz, se convirtió en heredera de las coronas de Castilla y de Aragón. A la muerte de su madre, Isabel la Católica, en 1504 fue proclamada reina de Castilla junto a su esposo; y a la de su padre, Fernando el Católico, en 1516 pasó a ser nominalmente reina de Navarra y soberana de la corona de Aragón. Por lo tanto, el 25 de enero de 1516, se convirtió teóricamente en la primera reina de las coronas que conformaron la actual España; sin embargo, desde 1506 su poder sólo fue nominal, siendo su hijo Carlos el rey efectivo de Castilla y de Aragón. El levantamiento comunero de 1520 la sacó de su cárcel y le pidió encabezar la revuelta pero ella se negó y cuando su hijo Carlos derrotó a los comuneros volvió a encerrarla, pidiendo incluso que la torturasen si se negaba a cumplir los sacramentos católicos. Fue apodada "la Loca" por una supuesta enfermedad mental ocasionada por los celos hacia su marido y el dolor que sintió tras su muerte, que fue el argumento utilizado por su padre y por su hijo para mantenerla encerrada en Tordesillas de por vida. Su figura fue popularizada en el Romanticismo tanto en pintura como en literatura.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Petra and Daniel have little use for the quaint fishing Village their parents have forced them to visit on holiday. They don't know that this Village has a legacy of Dragons. Much more fun than exploring museums or picturesque ruins, a small stone on a lonely beach offers them the chance to perform magic, match wits with elementals, steal hearts, go to war, write poetry, escape from a pirate, and sail "The Laughing Princess." Their dull, rainy world will never be the same. From the pen of the celebrated author of The Astreya Trilogy, these fantastic and slightly melancholy stories are sure to resonate with the questions you carry deep down inside as you go about your everyday life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cecilia Valdés is arguably the most important novel of 19th century Cuba. Originally published in New York City in 1882, Cirilo Villaverde's novel has fascinated readers inside and outside Cuba since the late 19th century. In this new English translation, a vast landscape emerges of the moral, political, and sexual depravity caused by slavery and colonialism. Set in the Havana of the 1830s, the novel introduces us to Cecilia, a beautiful light-skinned mulatta, who is being pursued by the son of a Spanish slave trader, named Leonardo. Unbeknownst to the two, they are the children of the same father. Eventually Cecilia gives in to Leonardo's advances; she becomes pregnant and gives birth to a baby girl. When Leonardo, who gets bored with Cecilia after a while, agrees to marry a white upper class woman, Cecilia vows revenge. A mulatto friend and suitor of hers kills Leonardo, and Cecilia is thrown into prison as an accessory to the crime. For the contemporary reader Helen Lane's masterful translation of Cecilia Valdés opens a new window into the intricate problems of race relations in Cuba and the Caribbean. There are the elite social circles of European and New World Whites, the rich culture of the free people of color, the class to which Cecilia herself belonged, and then the slaves, divided among themselves between those who were born in Africa and those who were born in the New World, and those who worked on the sugar plantation and those who worked in the households of the rich people in Havana. Cecilia Valdés thus presents a vast portrait of sexual, social, and racial oppression, and the lived experience of Spanish colonialism in Cuba.
