        Spark of Light

        Short Stories by Women Writers of Odisha

        by Edited by Valerie Henitiuk and Supriya Kar

        Spark of Light is a diverse collection of short stories by women writers from the Indian province of Odisha. Originally written in Odia and dating from the late nineteenth century to the present, these stories offer a multiplicity of voices—some sentimental and melodramatic, others rebellious and bold—and capture the predicament of characters who often live on the margins of society. From a spectrum of viewpoints, writing styles, and motifs, the stories included here provide examples of the great richness of Odishan literary culture. In the often shadowy and grim world depicted in this collection, themes of class, poverty, violence, and family are developed. Together they form a critique of social mores and illuminate the difficult lives of the subaltern in Odisha society. The work of these authors contributes to an ongoing dialogue concerning the challenges, hardships, joys, and successes experienced by women around the world. In these provocative explorations of the short-story form, we discover the voices of these rarely heard women. To learn more about this publisher, click here: http://bit.ly/1ZT7e56

        Green Education: Plants for Fun and Games

        by Mahendra K. Satapath & Sidhanta Sekhar Bisoi

        In earlier days, Children used to play outdoor games with natural resources such as plant parts (fruits, flowers, leaves, seeds, stems, etc.) and formed an integral part of nature. However with shrinkage of open spaces and play grounds, present day children are often seen putting their leisure hours with electronic gadgets such as computers, mobile phones and video games and consequently the indigenous knowledge associated with playing in nature is being lost and their social attitude is disturbed. From a wide survey of rural and tribal pockets, the authors have gathered the vanishing indigenous knowledge and have described 90 plant species with their fruits, flowers, leaves, seeds, stems etc. which are used for fun and games besides as learning materials supplemented with pictures, diagrams and photographs for the benefit of the readers, especially the plant lovers and Environmentalists.

        Dinosaurios en otros planetas

        Stories

        by Danielle McLaughlin / Ca_teter

        Los relatos que componen este libro poseen esa particular forma de impureza de la que puede surgir la comprensión hacia los otros: ninguno de los personajes maltrechos que habitan estas once historias tiene toda la razón o está totalmente equivocado; ninguna bondad es total aquí, ninguna mezquindad es absoluta. El talento de McLaughlin para hacer surgir los detalles que expresan la ambigua complejidad de la conducta humana convierte estos relatos en poderosas piezas literarias de singular lucidez. «La escritura de McLaughlin es tan atrapante y visual que el lector se mete de lleno en la historia desde el primer párrafo.» Sophie Gorman, Irish Independent «Este libro no es un debut en el sentido usual, es decir, una promesa de grandes cosas por venir. No es necesario preguntar qué hará Danielle McLaughlin luego: ya lo ha hecho. Este libro llegó para quedarse con nosotros por mucho tiempo.» Anne Enright

        The Divine Language

        by Gabriela Fonseca

        The Roman Emperor Constantine believed that newborns knew the language of heaven but forgot it as soon as they learned to talk. To preserve the language, he built a palace where he held dozens of babies, fresh out of their mother wombs, and nurses who where in charge of feeding them and keeping them clean, but without touching them or speaking to them. As a result, all the babies withered and died without even crying. Despite this cruel outcome, a secret society was created with the purpose of finding and preserving the divine language the Emperor so desperately sought. Fast forward to 1960s Mexico City where Griselda is born in a family with a devout Catholic mother and an atheistic father. She was born eleven years after the death of Aaron, their first born, a boy who despite his young age, was completely devoted to God. Upon turning eight, Griselda suffers an accident that leaves her clinically death for ten minutes. Her mother, convinced that it was Aaron who resurrected her, becomes obsessed with getting the Church to canonize him, and ends up leaving Griselda to be raised by her father. Years later, and already a college student, Griselda adopts a boy left orphaned by the 1985 earthquake. His name is Moses. Griselda raises Moses as her career as a college professor takes off and she is hired by an international institution that gives her a house, a great salary, and puts Moses in the Luden Trask Mansion, where an important anthropological and historic study is taking place. Griselda finds a passionate relationship, while Moses, already twelve, suddenly and mysteriously disappears. Griselda will soon find out that the Luden Trask institution is just a cover for a powerful and secret society that is still trying to accomplish Constantine’s mission, and that they have abducted Moses. Now, Griselda faces a terrible dilemma where she may have to pay the highest of prices to save her son.
