El Beso de la Serpiente
Quien que conozca el amor y el desprecio a la misma vez, no sabe el dolor que provocan. Bueno si sabe lo que hablo sabrá lo que dicen mis palabras, quizás lo sienta como suyas, también muchas de mis palabras son dulces gotas, o gotas amargas de llanto; porque esa simple palabra "amor" echa de cuatro letras puede hacerme elevar hasta la luna tan solo impulsada por el amor. Sé que él no vendrá porque se lo ha llevado el desprecio, y sus recuerdos no se abran borrados como un corazón dibujado en la arena. La vida de RAUL se apaga cuando SARAH le abandona y empieza una lucha constante entre el amor y el olvido, y la soledad que le da miedo. Pero la vida le premia devolviéndole a su única hija pérdida, Raul quiso ayudar a su hija a quebrantar la coraza de su alma herida y empieza a inculcarle los mejores sentimientos, pero la vida fue demasiado corta.

Barbarian: Explorations of a Western Concept in Theory, Literature, and the Arts
Since Greek antiquity, the ‘barbarian’ captivates the Western imaginary and operates as the antipode against which self-proclaimed civilized groups define themselves. Therefore, the study of the cultural history of barbarism is a simultaneous exploration of the shifting contours of European identity. This two-volume co-authored study explores the history of the concept ‘barbarism’ from the 18th century to the present and illuminates its foundational role in modern European and Western identity. It constitutes an original comparative, interdisciplinary exploration of the concept’s modern European and Western history, with emphasis on the role of literature in the concept’s shifting functions. Critically responding to the contemporary popularity of the term ‘barbarian' in political rhetoric and the media, and its violent, exclusionary workings, the study contributes to a historically grounded understanding of this figure’s past and contemporary uses. It combines overviews with detailed analyses of representative works of literature, art, film, philosophy, political and cultural theory, in which “barbarism” figures prominently.
