The Latin American Story Finder
Anything is possible in the world of Latin American folklore, where Aunt Misery can trap Death in a pear tree; Amazonian dolphins lure young girls to their underwater city; and the Feathered Snake brings the first musicians to Earth. One in a series of folklore reference guides ("...an invaluable resource..."--School Library Journal), this book features summaries and sources of 470 tales told in Mexico, Central America and South America, a region underrepresented in collections of world folklore. The volume sends users to the best stories retold in English from the Inca, Maya, and Aztec civilizations, Spanish and Portuguese missionaries and colonists, African slave cultures, indentured servants from India, and more than 75 indigenous tribes from 21 countries. The tales are grouped into themed sections with a detailed subject index.
The Caribbean Story Finder
The Caribbean islands have a vibrant oral folklore. In Jamaica, the clever spider Anansi, who outsmarts stronger animals, is a symbol of triumph by the weak over the powerful. The fables of the foolish Juan Bobo, who tries to bring milk home in a burlap bag, illustrate facets of traditional Puerto Rican life. Conflict over status, identity and power is a recurring theme--in a story from Trinidad, a young bull, raised by his mother in secret, challenges his tyrannical father who has killed all the other males in the herd. One in a series of folklore reference guides by the author, this volume shares summaries of 438 tales--some in danger of disappearing--retold in English and Creole from West African, European, and slave indigenous cultures in 24 countries and territories. Tales are grouped in themed sections with a detailed subject index and extensive links to online sources.

Il manipolatore
Un serial killer. Un poliziotto. Due menti fuori dal comune. Dicembre, Santiago de Compostela. Yoel Garza, ispettore della polizia giudiziaria, riceve una chiamata d’emergenza. È stato ritrovato uno scheletro sepolto con un foro di proiettile nel cranio. Mancano tutti i denti tranne un incisivo d’oro. A Yoel quella scena ricorda in modo impressionante la copertina di un romanzo pubblicato da un suo vecchio compagno di scuola, Antonio Serván... Ma la cosa più inquietante è un’altra: accanto alle ossa è stato rinvenuto l’anello di fidanzamento perso dalla sua ragazza mesi prima. Chi lo ha messo lì e perché? Per l’ispettore Garza avrà inizio una battaglia psicologica dal ritmo...
