Apenas promovida a la sección «Mujeres de nuestros días» de la popular revista en la que trabaja —conducida por la autoritaria y fogueada señora Marechal—, Teresa Rivarola, la joven protagonista de la novela y exitosa periodista, se enfrenta a grandes desafíos. Angustiada porque no logra encontrar un tema para el próximo número, recurre desesperada a la insólita historia de un curioso donante de esperma, que habría fecundado una treintena de mujeres. Teresa estaba convencida de poder armar un artículo capaz de capturar la atención de los lectores sobre este inescrupuloso aprovechador. Claro, todo hubiera sido diferente si su jefa no fuese la terrible Julie Marechal, que no la ayudaba y de la cual dependía su puesto. Pero Félix Paterson, el personaje de su historia, tampoco la ayudaba: no encaja en el molde en el que ella lo quiere meter. Las entrevistas con este rutilante personaje pronto enfrentan a la joven a una realidad que va a cambiar el curso de su vida y que demuele una tras otra sus certezas y convicciones más íntimas. En vez de ser ella la que dirige la investigación, comienza a sospechar que no es más que la víctima de un complejo tejido de araña del cual ya no podrá escapar. Pero Teresa Rivarola es fuerte, cada vez que todo pareciera colapsar encuentra la vía para no dejarse abatir. Solo que todo sucede de un modo completamente inesperado. Lo más asombroso será el papel que asumirá el donante de esperma. Pero habrá que prestar atención para no confundir la realidad con la apariencia. Antes de que nos demos cuenta, de la mano de una historia rutilante, el autor nos habrá arrastrado a confrontarnos con uno de los problemas más complejos de la sociedad de nuestros días, ligado a los enigmas y los dilemas acuciantes a los que nos enfrenta la ciencia. De la mano de la sutil construcción narrativa, de su lenguaje ameno y del suspenso de su trama, pronto nos encontraremos en el corazón mismo de las preguntas centrales provenientes de la manipulación genética, la bioingeniería, la fecundación artificial y las visiones poshumanistas. A pesar de que estamos lejos de todo intento de prefigurar un mundo distópico, el autor nos pone en contacto directo con la codicia, la incontrolable curiosidad y el anhelo desesperado por la celebridad de ciertos científicos, dispuestos a todo para jugar a ser Dios.

A highly insightful essay on the culture of dependency and its damaging effects on the moral fiber of society; from corporate welfare to affirmative action, the author takes on the culture of copping out. A book against depression, existential angst, cry-babies and whining "victims," either acting as a child in a candy store or as a martyr of one's own fears. Men against women, women against men, isn't it time to grow up and take charge of our own destiny?

First published in 1923, just before César Vallejo left Peru for France, Scales combines prose poems with short stories in a collection that exhibits all the exuberance of the author’s early experimentalism. A follow-up to Vallejo’s better-known work, Trilce, this radical collection shattered many aesthetic notions prevailing in Latin America and Europe. Intermingling romantic, symbolist, and avant-garde traditions, Scales is a poetic upending of prose narrative that blends Vallejo’s intercontinental literary awareness with his commitment to political transformation. Written in part from Trujillo Central Jail, where Vallejo would endure some of the most terrifying moments of his life, Scales is also a testament of anguish and desperation, a series of meditations on justice and freedom, an exploration of the fantastic, and a confrontation with the threat of madness. Edited and translated from the Castilian by the scholar Joseph Mulligan, this first complete English translation, published here in bilingual format and accompanied by extensive archival documentation related to Vallejo’s incarceration, this volume gives unprecedented access to one of the most inventive practitioners of Latin American literature in the twentieth century.

The Shadow of Death is a novel inspired by a true life story. However, its characters, surroundings and a key part of its storyline are wholly fictitious. A young man feels a moral obligation to avenge, for the sake of family honor, his father’s death, which happened when he was barely six years old. Two decades later, at the age of twenty-six, destiny would present him with the opportunity of facing off with the murderer directly; only, by then, he seemed to no longer have the courage or conviction to make it happen. The end is unexpectedly moving.

Cecilia Valdés is arguably the most important novel of 19th century Cuba. Originally published in New York City in 1882, Cirilo Villaverde's novel has fascinated readers inside and outside Cuba since the late 19th century. In this new English translation, a vast landscape emerges of the moral, political, and sexual depravity caused by slavery and colonialism. Set in the Havana of the 1830s, the novel introduces us to Cecilia, a beautiful light-skinned mulatta, who is being pursued by the son of a Spanish slave trader, named Leonardo. Unbeknownst to the two, they are the children of the same father. Eventually Cecilia gives in to Leonardo's advances; she becomes pregnant and gives birth to a baby girl. When Leonardo, who gets bored with Cecilia after a while, agrees to marry a white upper class woman, Cecilia vows revenge. A mulatto friend and suitor of hers kills Leonardo, and Cecilia is thrown into prison as an accessory to the crime. For the contemporary reader Helen Lane's masterful translation of Cecilia Valdés opens a new window into the intricate problems of race relations in Cuba and the Caribbean. There are the elite social circles of European and New World Whites, the rich culture of the free people of color, the class to which Cecilia herself belonged, and then the slaves, divided among themselves between those who were born in Africa and those who were born in the New World, and those who worked on the sugar plantation and those who worked in the households of the rich people in Havana. Cecilia Valdés thus presents a vast portrait of sexual, social, and racial oppression, and the lived experience of Spanish colonialism in Cuba.

This visionary book on gender and sexuality weaves together high theory and intimate memoir, with "spectacular" results—"and the gendered body will never be the same again" (Jack Halberstam). What constitutes a "real" man or woman in the twenty-first century? Since birth control pills, erectile dysfunction remedies, and factory-made testosterone and estrogen were developed, biology is definitely no longer destiny. In this penetrating analysis of gender, Paul B. Preciado shows the ways in which the synthesis of hormones since the 1950s has fundamentally changed how gender and sexual identity are formulated, and how the pharmaceutical and pornography industries are in the business of creating desire. This riveting continuation of Michel Foucault's The History of Sexuality also includes Preciado's diaristic account of his own use of testosterone every day for one year, and its mesmerizing impact on his body as well as his imagination.

When we think of giving gifts, we think of exchanging objects that carry with them economic or symbolic value. But is every valuable thing a potentially exchangeable item, whose value can be transferred? In The Enigma of the Gift, the distinguished French anthropologist Maurice Godelier reassesses the significance of gifts in social life by focusing on sacred objects, which are never exchanged despite the value they possess. Beginning with an analysis of the seminal work of Marcel Mauss and Claude Lévi-Strass, and drawing on his own fieldwork in Melanesia, Godelier argues that traditional theories are flawed because they consider only exchangeable gifts. By explaining gift-giving in terms of sacred objects and the authoritative conferral of power associated with them, Godelier challenges both recent and traditional theories of gift-giving, provocatively refreshing a traditional debate. Elegantly translated by Nora Scott, The Enigma of the Gift is at once a major theoretical contribution and an essential guide to the history of the theory of the gift.
