Bahurupi: बहुरूपी
by Narayan Dharap‘मातापित्यांची शिकवण मनात खोलवर रुजली असली पाहिजे. ती आता वर आली. मी हे आव्हान नाकारूच शकत नव्हतो. भले त्यासाठी मला माझा प्राण गमवावा लागला तरी हरकत नाही! आव्हान मिळूनही मी भ्याडासारखा कातडी बचावण्यासाठी चार भिंतीमागे लपून बसलो असतो तर? तर प्राण वाचवला असता; पण बाकी सर्व गमावलं असतं! जगात उजळ माथ्याने वावरणं अशक्य झालं असतं. किड्यामुंगीसारखं सांदीकोपऱ्यात लपून राहावं लागलं असतं. आज माझा सन्मान करणारे तुम्ही तुम्हीच माझी छी: थू! केली असती. ‘मी गेलो आणि आवश्यक ते सर्व केलं. दैवाची साथ मिळाली असं समजा. दैव शूराचीच सोबत करतं. मी माझ्या कार्यात यशस्वी झालो. गायत्रीदेवी सुखरूप परत आल्या आणि म्हणून आपल्या सत्काराचा स्वीकार करण्यासाठी आनंदाने आलो. आपले सर्वांचे आभार.’
Bairro sem saída
by Fernando RibeiroNo seu primeiro romance, Fernando Ribeiro pegou no realismo mágico e transformou-o em matéria suburbana, pintada em tons de profundo negro. A acção situa-se no Bairro mais clandestino da Europa durante os anos 70 e 80: a Brandoa e é narrada por "Rogério Paulo", nascido durante o terramoto de 28 de Fevereiro de 1969. O narrador cresce marcado pela morte do seu primo Fernando dois dias antes de nascer, acompanhado pelas personagens fantásticas do "Bairro sem Saída": o seu amigo e Mário, diabético que vai "desaparecendo"; a cigana Zíngara e suas maldições; o monstruoso ser de duas cabeças que lhe ensombra a infância; a Noiva de Branco, que se atira da janela do quarto andar. Um livro com os batimentos rápidos do heavy metal e a melancolia escura do gótico, sem esquecer uma boa dose de humor, apresentando a eterna guerra entre ricos e pobres. Este é o primeiro romance de Fernando Ribeiro, que aqui apresenta a sua outra voz, tão forte e ousada como na sua banda, mas, agora, traduzida nas palavras de um livro que grita, emociona, entretém e encanta.

A pesar de su flirteo con Bianca en la Academia Medianoche, Balthazar lleva siglos siguiendo una norma: no enamorarse.

Sin embargo, cuando el viejo vampiro que acabó con su vida humana reaparezca para amenazar la de Skye, una buena amiga de Lucas, Balthazar deberá tomar partido para vengarse... y protegerla. «Salió del baño y Balthazar la miró brevemente. O esa era su intención, porque fue incapaz de despegar los ojos de ella. Llevaba una camiseta negra y mallas, pero ambas prendas se ceñían a su cuerpo menudo, sus pechos, su cintura, sus caderas, sus muslos... "Con humanas, no", se recordó mientras pensaba en su primer amor. Pero aquella vieja regla le pareció muy lejana. Skye rehuyó su mirada, como si le hubiera leído el pensamiento. Cuando volvió a mirarlo a los ojos, él sintió el impacto: un calor que le inundó las venas, tan real como la sangre. -Pues, si de verdad vas a quedarte hasta mañana... -Es lo mejor -dijo Balthazar, aunque sus probabilidades de poder pegar ojo acababan de disminuir de una forma espectacular. Esa noche no iba a dormir bien. -El banco que hay debajo de la ventana puede servirte. Pero eres muy alto; a lo mejor no estás cómodo...»

As the men await their old friend, they share their tales of terror and misadventure, and contemplate what part they will play in Baltimore's timeless battle.
