        The Scourge

        by Keen Butterworth

        Jake Battle is minding his own business, just fishing, when he follows the squawking of ravens and magpies to find the body of a beautiful woman, wife of a local ranch owner who is also one of the richest men in the country.When the fatal slug is dug out of her, everyone in Clark City, Montana, knows there's only one gun around that could have fired it, the rifle of Jake's friend, Carlton Heavy-Eagle."Don't get mixed up in this mess," Jake's girlfriend, Gwen, tells him. "You can't tell what's going on." But Jake is too mixed up in it already. The path he follows to clear his friend leads to tales of gang violence, wanton sex, cocaine smuggling, and the mysterious Scourge -- a man monstrous in size and ugliness.In his debut novel, author Keen Butterworth has painted a vivid portrait of both man and nature as Jake -- haunted by his past in Vietnam, soothed by the love he shares with Gwen -- pursues a dangerous manhunt amid the rugged beauty of the northern Rockies.

        Réquiem por un Campesino Español

        by Ramon J. Sender, Patricia McDermott

        "equiem per un campesino espanol" was first published under the title Mosen Millan in Coleccion Aquelarre,Mexico, 1953. The present text follows the first Spanish edition published by Destino, Barcelona, 1974, which bears a few minor variants, mainly in paragraph structure. It has been reprinted a number of times and translated into many languages and is one of the most widely read Spanish texts in the 20th century. This edition is aimed primarily at sixth-formers and university undergraduates and the introduction and notes have been compiled in the light of recent socio-politial topic-based syllabuses and communication studies courses. The inclusion in the introduction of a substantial section on the now out-of-print "Contraataque" (1937), the wartime narrative which contains the germ of the post-war novel, is intended to provide the student with a context for the study of the process in Sender's writing inspired by the Civil War - from explicit militant propaganda penned in the heat of battle to implicit poetic parable, historical emotion recollected in the comparative tranquillity and distance of exile. It is hoped that such a juxtaposition will illuminate both the content and literary achievement of "Requiem". ;
