Narcisa Lecușanu provides valuable insight into what it takes to achieve long-term success and influence in the sports world. First as a player, where she excelled on both the domestic and international level, then in leadership roles at the European Handball Federation and within Romania, and now as a member of the IHF Executive Committee. Her contributions to handball are numerous including aiding the development of women’s handball as Chairwoman of the IHF's Women’s Handball and Gender Equality Working Group and promoting handball to children in her home country. I appreciate her unmatched passion for handball. She is a role model and her story will definitely inspire you. Dr. Hassan Moustafa, President of International Handball Federation Narcisa Lecușanu stands for personal development and success through sport, of which the practice of sport is life changing. With dedication and passionate engagement, the ritualistic actions of the athlete evolve, as they move through the levels from novice to expert, and as handball permeates their very essence, it results in a life’s work. For decades, I have witnessed the talent of Narcisa Lecușanu on the handball court, and a commitment to the sport that supported the drive and determination through her service to handball in Romania, the enthusiasm brought to the Women’s Handball Board within the European Handball Federation, and most recently to the Executive Committee of the International Handball Federation. To experience the transformation of Narcisa Lecușanu through her eyes is an opportunity for those wanting to stoke the fires of ambition, because her story is not over; as we read this book to absorb where Narcisa has come from, we can clearly imagine where she will go in the future.” Michael Wiederer, President of European Handball Federation Narcisa Lecușanu, the leader of Romanian handball, is outstanding through her native qualities and through a continuous tenacity throughout the long and difficult performance sport journey. [...] Until my departure from the Romanian Handball Federation, I continued my collaboration with Narcisa and supported her, seeing in her the future president of the Romanian Handball Federation. Ing. Cristian Gațu, Honorary President of RHF Narcisa Lecușanu’s personality is, equally, difficult and pleasant to analyze, first of all because she was and remained a star in a world of sports in which success and failure guide the opinions of those specialized and of the public. Prof. Adrian Dragnea I understood what alog way she came. Huge efforts to get over all the slag here, the need for home, the desire for success while speaking the same language. All combined. Narcisa was great for me only when I saw through her the very clear horizon, after so many storms. Radu Naum If I were a painter and wanted to be in a self-portrait, I would focus on what is beyond my face. I would avoid any touch that expresses frustration and I would render, in serene colors, the positive attitude, the optimistic projection of some situations that I anticipate, the tenacity, the resistance to long effort, the care not to lose the reins of modesty… And the gaze would necessarily look up, as a sign of giving thanks to God. Narcisa Lecușanu There are people who, once they come into your life, remain in your soul forever. Narcisa is one of those people for whom I thank God that I met them. We met when she was a teenager and I became a young adult, on the national team. That seriousness, ambition and that noble simplicity, of a fine person made me love her from the very beginning and feel like a younger sister. We grew up, we evolved from a sports and professional point of view, but she remained the same noble and nice man, directly proportional to the success of her impeccable career as a handball player. Every victory she won made me proud of her, proud to know her. Florentina Carcadia

The first trade edition of the cult classic from the artist/author hailed by Iggy Pop as “the great nightmare anti-hero of the new age,” legendary tattoo artist Jonathan Shaw, that chronicles a scandalous, degenerative addiction between two people—a wild, brutal, passionate, and unstoppable ride into depravity and darkness through the back alleys of Rio De Janeiro and New York City. A legendary tattoo master and notorious creator of trendsetting underground art, Jonathan Shaw has created a masterpiece with this powerful story that captures the destructive addiction of love, sex and drugs, embodied in two people whose irresistible passions threaten to destroy them. In the wild backwaters of Rio de Janeiro and New York, motorcycle-riding, nomadic outlaw poet Ignacio Valencia Lobos—known as Cigano—attempts in vain to curb the unhinged habits of his lover Narcisa, a crack-smoking philosopher prostitute. Though he knows they will destroy each other, Narcisa is an exquisite poison he cannot resist. As they navigate the chaos of her downward spiral—dragged deeper by the gravity of drugs, burglaries and violence, Cigano recounts a love affair doomed by insanity, dysfunction, and vice. A magnificent epic of literary genius, Narcisa belongs among the works of such greats as Charles Bukowski, Henry Miller, William S. Burroughs, Jack Kerouac, Irvine Welsh, and Hunter S. Thompson.

Playing on the rich Latin American literary tradition of the Saint's Life, Cuban writer Mireya Robles creates a humorous, ultimately horrifying vision of the nuclear family in this innovative novel, set in Cuba's asphyxiating provincial society during the nineteen fifties. The philandering father, the sensitive yet sadistic older brother, the mother living on radio soap operas, the pretty, empty-headed younger sister - all are seen through the eyes of Narcisa, the relentlessly optimistic and ecstatic ugly duckling of her family. Narcisa's imagination both endows and parodies her surroundings with rich comedy and grotesqueness.

Kirkus Discoveries book review: Part devotional guide, part encyclopedia, Saints and Blesseds of the Americas will find a welcome place on the shelves of a new generation of Catholics. Ewalds tidy collection provides an exhaustive, country-by-country listing of all the Catholic saints and blesseds of the Western world. In Catholic theology, saints serve as intercessors between humanity and God; blessedsthose who have undergone the process of beatificationare only one step away from becoming saints. Believers pray to either for aid in any number of life pursuits. Perhaps the most gratifying aspect of this catalogue is the fact that it is extremely up to date. Ewald provides not only the saints and blesseds of old but also those recently beatified and canonized. For example, he presents the Blessed Lindalva Justo de Oliveira, martyred in 1993 and beatified by Pope Benedict XVI just last year. This is a timely reference guide at least in part because the previous popeJohn Paul IIwas a prolific supporter of the path to sainthood. According to the Vatican, Pope John Paul II beatified and canonized more individuals than all the popes of the past five centuries combined. Thus, Ewald fulfills an important role in bringing his devout readership up to speed. But currentness is not the volumes only strength. Ewald paints quick but thorough sketches of his many subjects. His brief biographies never run much more than a page or two, but he has an eye for the fine points, and his portraits are always extremely pertinentthere are as few wasted details as there are wasted words. However, though his book serves best as a reference volume, it also provides a surprisingly gratifying reading experience. Ewald has the skill of a storyteller, and each biography features a neat narrative arc. A helpful compendium to the heroes of the American Catholic Church. Ewald, Fr. Daniel P.

For centuries women and other “gendered minorities” had to protest to gain equality. Their demands were often matched by counter-protest from conservative forces within historical societies that intended to return to “old orders” or “good old times.” The present volume will take a closer look at the interrelationship between gender and protest and analyze in detail how gender-related perspectives stimulated protests and initiated historical changes. Through historical case studies that range from antiquity until modern times, specialists from different countries and disciplines discuss reasons for protest, gender as a factor that stimulated social conflicts, and the power of gendered protests of the past with regards to their impact and long-term impact until today.
