Children's & YACristina juega (Cristina plays)
by Micaela Chiriff, Paula Ortiz
Cristina plays starts from a double “game” with the reader: Cristina’s game with her toy (a rabbit) and the game of the play with the reader, whom she seeks to surprise at a time when the scene of Cristina’s game changes, and therefore, the whole perspective of what has been read changes because, from the image, the story is turned upside down and will leave more than one reader thinking. The space of the secret game is practically the center of this book, written in the key of poetry and illustrated with careful attention to each of the details of a dollhouse (one of the scenarios where the action takes place) and attending to a palette of vibrant colors that seek to take us to another time and another space: that of games and toys. This is how from the word and the image this book is a very original proposal.

FantasyJanuary 2011The Branding
by Micaela Wendell
Morwen Aleacim, an elfin teen in the village of Aren, has always heard rumors of evil lurking in the great forests of the kingdom, where children vanish. Her own father disappeared into those forests, and Morwen is determined to find him. So she is secretly training to be a warrior-against the strict rules of decorum for girls-with the help of Armando, an aging human swordsman. When Brynn, Morwen's own baby sister, vanishes, Morwen tracks her to the horrifying lair of Tobias, an inhuman Dark Wizard. There she strikes a deal with him-her service in return for Brynn's freedom. He accepts. She'll go free along with Brynn for now, but is bound to him as his apprentice. To her horror, Tobias brands her-not with a fiery mark, but with a spell that will slowly transform her human body into a grotesque creature and her spirit into an obedient slave. When the transformation is complete she'll have no choice but to return to him forever. Aided by Alan, a handsome elfin boy, who will soon have a dark challenge of his own, Morwen sets out to find a wizard who can lift the spell. It's a race against time as she struggles to free her mind, body, spirit and heart from a horrible fate.

But… Have you ever asked yourself what it would be like to see life from inside a zebra?

Literary studies: fiction, novelists & prose writersRenaissance Fantasies
The Gendering of Aesthetics in Early Modern Fiction
by Maria Teresa Micaela Prendergast (author)
Renaissance Fantasies is the first full-length study to explore why a number of early modern writers put their masculine literary authority at risk by writing from the perspective of femininity and effeminacy. Prendergast argues that fictions like Boccaccio’s Decameron, Etienne Pasquier’s Monophile, Philip Sidney’s Astrophil and Stella, and Shakespeare’s As You Like It promote an alternative to the dominate, patriarchal aesthetics by celebrating unruly female and effeminate male bodies.She establishes how, during the early modern period, writers metaphorically associated didactic literature (like the epic) with masculinity, and fantastical or pleasurable literature (like Lyric or drama) with femininity or effeminacy.

Travel writingFebruary 2012Up the Creek
An Amazon Adventure
by John Harrison
'During recent years a sinister shadow has fallen across the world of travel and travel-writing. It's name is Sponsorship' writes Dervla Murphy in her foreword to John Harrison's unsponsored Amazon adventure, an extremely hazardous canoe trip taken just for the hell of it up one of the more obscure tributaries of the Amazon. Harrison's tale is compelling, full of suspense, humour and wonderful descriptions of Amazon wildlife, all told in down-to-earth unpretentious language with disarming honesty. His quest to reach the upper limit of the Jari river in Brazil and portage his canoe across the border into French Guiana is ambitious, exciting and, ultimately, flawed, but it's the trip itself, full of unexpected encounters, crippling bouts of malaria, moments of intense emotion mixed with just a tinge of madness, which is as inspiring as the tales of even the earliest adventurers._x000D_ _x000D_ John Harrison uses vigorous, unpretentious language combined with stunning descriptions of Amazonian wildlife._x000D_ _x000D_ Up the Creek was originally published by Bradt in 1986 and remains as relevant to the spirit of exploration and real, raw travel writing today as it was then. Reviews at that time hailed Harrison's adventure as epic._x000D_
