La Fanfarlo
“La muerte se cernía alegremente sobre los hospitales, y los Chatterton y los Savage de la calle Saint-Jacques crispaban sus dedos helados sobre los escritorios, cuando el hombre más falso, el más egoísta, el más sensual, el más goloso, el más espiritual de nuestros amigos se instalaba frente a una deliciosa cena y una buena mesa, en compañía de una de las mujeres más hermosas que la naturaleza haya creado para el placer de los ojos.” La Fanfarlo es un relato de inspiración autobiográfica escrito por Baudelaire a los 24 años. El joven poeta Samuel Cramer intenta ayudar a su amiga Mme de Cosmelly: debe deshacer el romance entre el esposo de ésta y la célebre bailarina Fanfarlo. Se hace pasar por un enamorado de la actriz, pero se toma tan en serio el papel que cae en su propia trampa.Charles Pierre Baudelaire (1821-1867) fue uno de los más notables poetas franceses del siglo XIX. Su vida estuvo marcada por diversas amarguras y por el anhelo de un afuera imposible de encontrar, convergiendo en un desesperado deseo de muerte sólo conjurable por la poesía. Entre sus obras se destacan Las flores del mal (1857) y Los paraísos artificiales (1860).

The Raiders and Writers of Cervantes' Archive
Within the context of Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra and his influence on Jorge Luis Borges, Manuel Puig and Gabriel Marquez, Paul Kong brings a variety of theoretical perspectives to bear as he analyzes the concepts of the archive and the manuscript. Setting the stage with an exploration of the intricate and intriguing relationship between the archive and the manuscript, Kong questions the apparently natural association between the two. In the light of Kong's historically contextualized and patient exegesis, the ideological nature of the archive, evident in its charge to serve as a totalizing habitat, stands in contrast with the manuscript that resists attempts to contain it. The playful resp...
The Green Labyrinth
Limited time offer. In the critically acclaimed The Rope in the Water, Sylvia Fraser described her three-month pilgrimage to India in search of "something larger than myself, something deeper, something more." In The Green Labyrinth, Fraser continues her journey, this time deep into the jungle of the Amazon in the company of shamans, traditional spiritualists practicing ancient rituals. At the heart of Fraser’s quest lies the mind-expanding drug "ayahuasca", a gateway to worlds beyond her own, to a better understanding of the mysteries of existence. Fraser takes us to shamanic sanctuaries that hover at the edge of our modern world, providing a portal to the unknown. Along the way she introduces us to a diverse group of pilgrims searching for their own answers with the help of shamans and ayahuasca. Through meaningful visions and with spiritual guidance, Fraser and her fellow travellers acquire insight into their emotional and psychic lives, and discover that many of the answers they are searching for lie within themselves.

Gabriel Garcia Marquez and the Powers of Fiction
Together with the late Jorge Luis Borges, Gabriel García Márquez, the 1982 Nobel laureate, stands at the pinnacle of Latin American literature. His work, in the words of Julio Ortega, "contains its own 'deconstructive' force—a literary power capable of reshaping natural order and rhetorical tradition in order to 'carnivalize' the Borges' library and allow us to hear the voices—and the laughter—of a culture, that of Latin America." This reshaping force invites us to read the works of García Márquez in a new way, one that bypasses the traditional, inadequate approaches through Latin American politics, history, and "magical realism." In Gabriel García Márquez and the Powers of Ficti...
Diplomatic List
Directory of foreign diplomatic officers in Washington
An American Radical:
On a November night in 1984, Susan Rosenberg sat in the passenger seat of a U-Haul as it swerved along the New Jersey Turnpike. At the wheel was a fellow political activist. In the back were 740 pounds of dynamite and assorted guns. That night I still believed with all my heart that what Che Guevara had said about revolutionaries being motivated by love was true. I also believed that our government ruled the world by force and that it was necessary to oppose it with force. Raised on New York City's Upper West Side, Rosenberg had been politically active since high school, involved in the black liberation movement and protesting repressive U.S. policies around the world and here at home. At tw...
