En el viejo Nueva York de 1850 despuntaban unas cuantas familias cuyas vidas transcurrían en plácida opulencia. Los Ralston eran una de ellas. Los enérgicos británicos y los rubicundos y robustos holandeses se habían mezclado entre ellos dando lugar a una sociedad próspera, cauta y, pese a ello, boyante. Hacer las cosas a lo grande había sido la máxima de aquel mundo tan previsor, erigido sobre la fortuna de banqueros, comerciantes de Indias, constructores y navieros. Aquellas gentes parsimoniosas y bien nutridas, a quienes los europeos tildaban de irritables y dispépticas solo porque los caprichos del clima les habían exonerado de carnes superfluas y afilado los nervios, vivían en una apacible molicie cuya superficie jamás se veía alterada por los sórdidos dramas que eventualmente se escenificaban entre las clases inferiores. Por aquellos días, las almas sensibles eran como teclados mudos sobre los cuales tocaba el destino una melodía inaudible. Los Ralston y sus ramificaciones ocupaban una de las áreas más extensas dentro de aquella sociedad compacta de barrios sólidamente construidos. Los Ralston pertenecían a la clase media de origen inglés. No habían llegado a las colonias para morir por un credo, sino para vivir de una cuenta bancaria. El resultado había superado sus expectativas y su religión se había teñido de éxito. El espíritu de compromiso que había encumbrado a los Ralston encajaba a la perfección con una Iglesia de Inglaterra edulcorada que, bajo la conciliadora designación de Iglesia Episcopal de los Estados Unidos de América, suprimía las alusiones impúdicas de las ceremonias nupciales, omitía los pasajes conminatorios del Credo atanasiano y entendía más decoroso rezar el padrenuestro dirigiéndose al Padre mediante el arcaizante pronombre «vos». Extensivo a todo el clan era el rechazo sistemático a las religiones incipientes y a la gente sin referencias. Institucionales hasta la médula, constituían el elemento conservador que sustenta a las sociedades emergentes como la flora marina sustenta la orilla del mar.

Un conde colérico. Una solterona desesperada. Una apuesta imprudente. Por cinco años, Brooke Culpepper ha focalizado su energía en dos cosas: mantener la batalla para que la granja lechera, que es su hogar, siga operando y prevenir que su hermana más joven y primas mueran de hambre. Entonces, un día un extraño de cara severa llega a la entrada de su casa y anuncia que es el nuevo propietario y planea venderla. Aunque ella está indignada, Brooke no puede negar que el Conde de Ravensdale hace que su pulso corra de las formas más perturbadoras. Heath se indigna al descubrir que cinco mujeres llaman a las tierras que él ganó en una mesa de juegos, su hogar. Detesta todo acerca del campo y no tiene deseos de poseer una granja olorosa, aunque una de las ocupantes sea la mujer más inteligente y fascinante que jamás haya conocido. Desesperada, indigente, y sin un lugar donde llevar a su familia, Brooke sin reflexionar propone una apuesta. ¿Los riesgos de Heath? La granja. ¿Los de ella? Su virtud. Las tierras no son de interés para Heath, pero él encuentra a Brooke irresistible, e ignorando la prudencia como así también su sentido del honor, solo alocadamente acepta su desafío. En una apuesta en la que el ganador se lleva todo, ¿se arrepentirán de sus impulsos, especialmente cuando el amor está en juego?

During her lifetime, Gloria Fuertes achieved the status of a controversial cultural icon, both through her poetry for adults and through her poetry, recorded readings, and television programs for juveniles. This collection of lively essays, by authors who specialize in contemporary Spanish poetry, approaches the works of Gloria Fuertes from various theoretical and critical perspectives. In Her Words speaks to the inherent complexity of Gloria Fuertes' poetry, as manifested in its ultimate indeterminacy and indecision, yet attests to this poet's abiding value as the voice of the marginalized-women, the poor, children, all the invisible members of society-who were silenced during the years of Spanish dictatorship under Franco. This book manifests the prescience of Fuertes' stands on a variety of social and cultural issues, from women's changing roles in society, gender and sexuality, identity within a society held captive by a dictatorial regime, to more universal themes such as love, justice, ethics, nature, and obsolete societal norms. In Her Words decisively addresses and ultimately rejects the Spanish cultural elite's inclination to disavow Fuertes' influence and reveals how her voice has shaped succeeding generations of Spanish poets and underscored the ubiquity of her verse in contemporary Spanish literature and culture. The subtlety and diversity of the essays included in this volume attest to the power of Gloria Fuertes' poetic creativity, her ability to appeal to a wide audience both in Spain and abroad, and her place in the contemporary Spanish poetic canon.

Cuba's cultural influence throughout the Western Hemisphere, and especially in the United States, has been disproportionally large for so small a country. This landmark volume is the first comprehensive overview of poetry written over the past sixty years. Presented in a beautiful Spanish-English en face edition, The Whole Island makes available the astonishing achievement of a wide range of Cuban poets, including such well-known figures as Nicolás Guillén, José Lezama Lima, and Nancy Morejón, but also poets widely read in Spanish who remain almost unknown to the English-speaking world—among them Fina García Marruz, José Kozer, Raúl Hernández Novás, and Ángel Escobar—and poets born since the Revolution, like Rogelio Saunders, Omar Pérez, Alessandra Molina, and Javier Marimón. The translations, almost all of them new, convey the intensity and beauty of the accompanying Spanish originals. With their work deeply rooted in Cuban culture, many of these poets—both on and off the island—have been at the center of the political and social changes of this tempestuous period. The poems offered here constitute an essential source for understanding the literature and culture of Cuba, its diaspora, and the Caribbean at large, and provide an unparalleled perspective on what it means to be Cuban.
