The Woman Who Dared
In the early days of motion pictures—before superstars, before studio conglomerates, before even the advent of sound—there was a woman named Pearl White (1889–1938). A quintessential beauty of the time, with her perfectly tousled bob and come-hither stare, White's rise to stardom was swift; her assumption of the title of queen of American motion picture serials equally deserved. Born the youngest of five children in a small, rural Missouri farm town, White first began performing in high school. She would eventually make the decision to cut her education short, dropping out to go on the Trousdale Stock Company. A bit player in the early years of her career, she was eventually spotted by...
See the PEBA on $25 a Day
Everyone remembers how the face of baseball changed back in 2006. The doping scandal, the egos, the excessive money. It all just collapsed. But, of course, baseball itself would not die. How could it? And after a season or two of discontent, up sprang the Planetary Extreme Baseball Alliance, or PEBA for short. Today Casey Neal and his buddy Don-o are fresh-faced college graduates unencumbered by commitments like summer jobs or girl friends. On a lark they tour every big-league park in the PEBA, and find themselves caught up in a web of intrigue and scandal that threatens once again the very heart of professional baseball itself. Against all that Casey, well, he's trying to find out who he's going to be in this world. And Don-o? Well, Don-o is something different all together now, isn't he?
Let's Play Three!
What would happen if the DNA of Roy Hobbs, Casey at the Bat, and Henry Skrimshander got mixed up with Jack Kerouac and Hunter S. Thompson, then the whole concoction was thrown into a blender and set on "comic book?" Welcome to baseball, PEBA style. Where the game is global and growing, and where you'll find scandal, love, mystical powers, ghosts, and even perhaps a Russian spy and a Japanese inspector or two. In other words, anything can and does happen. LET'S PLAY THREE! is a boxed set of all three volumes in the PEBA Chronicles (two novels and a short story). It includes: - See the PEBA on $25 a Day - The Mysterious Case of Shojiro Sano's Bats - Chasing the Setting Sun. These stories are like Robert Coover's Universal Baseball Association would be if everything in it was real. Or in an alternate history line. Or a comic book. Or not not. Who can tell? "If you love baseball, you're going to love See the PEBA on $25 a Day." - John Rodriquez, Commissioner of the Planetary Extreme Baseball Alliance

Memorias de Joaquín Costa
Ven la luz, al fin, las Memorias de Joaquín Costa, texto revelador donde los haya del carácter y las ambiciones, glorias y miserias del célebre pensador. Ideadas como memorándum, minuta de acontecimientos y censo de progresos y fracasos personales «en este valle de lágrimas», las Memorias ayudan a resolver el enigma que entrañaba la pregunta ¿Quién fue Costa? Y es que él fue el primer interesado en despejar esa incógnita a través de unas páginas terribles, agónicas, hijas de un carácter fuerte que terminó reconociéndose en el espejo, doloroso aunque consolador, de su propio discurso autobiográfico entre 1864 y 1878.
Poesía. Mosén Moncayo
Perteneciente a una importante familia de la nobleza aragonesa, Juan de Moncayo y Coscón fue una relevante figura política de la primera mitad del siglo XV, que llegó a desempeñar los cargos de gobernador de Aragón y virrey de Sicilia. En el ámbito literario, se han conservado siete textos suyos, de temática amorosa, transmitidos a través del Cancionero de Palacio. En su breve repertorio se cuentan piezas de gran interés como un dezir inspirado en la Querella de amor del marqués de Santillana o una serie de preguntas-respuestas escrita en colaboración con otros caballeros de su época.
