His Only Son: with Dona Berta
by Leopoldo Alas Margaret Jull CostaThe unlikely hero of His Only Son, Bonifacio Reyes, is a romantic and a flautist by vocation--and a failed clerk and kept husband by necessity--who dreams of a novelesque life. Tied to his shrill and sickly wife by her purse strings, he enters timidly into a love affair with Serafina, a seductive second-rate opera singer, encouraged by her manager who mistakes Bonifacio for a potential patron. Meanwhile, Bonifacio's wife experiences a parallel awakening and in the midst of a long-barren marriage, surprises them both with a son--but is it Bonifacio's? In the accompanying novella, Doña Berta, the heroine of the title, an aged, poor, but well-born woman, forfeits her beloved estate in search of a portrait that may be all that remains of the secret love of her life. While largely unknown outside of Spain, Leopoldo Alas was one of the most celebrated writers of criticism in nineteenth-century Spain and employed his satirical talents to powerful and humorous effect in fiction. His Only Son was Alas's second and final novel, full of characteristic humor, naturalistic detail, descriptive beauty, and moral complexity. His frail and pitiful characters--irrational, emotional actors drawn inexorably toward their foolish fates--are yet multidimensional individuals, often conscious of their own weaknesses and stymied by their very yearnings to be more than the parts they find themselves playing.

Historias de Savvy Cosas Divertidas que Aprendí de Mi Hija
by Dan Alatorre Monica Sarro"Una mirada divertida a los muchos momentos mágicos perdidos de la infancia, vistos a través del corazón de un padre." Los padres saben. Todos los niños hacen cosas divertidas, ya sea un bebé queriendo ver cuántos juguetes flotarán en el bebedero del perro, un niño pequeño intentando jugar rayuela sobre el adoquín de la banqueta del centro comercial mientras tú intentas llegar rápidamente a una tienda o un niño de tres años haciendo preguntas inocentes en voz alta a extraños ("¿Ese es su trasero?"). Todos hemos pasado por eso. La paternidad es un trabajo difícil, pero las recompensas son divertidas y numerosas. Estos son algunos de los pequeños momentos cómicos que ocurren entre mi hija y yo - o entre tu hijo y tú - y que ocurren miles de veces al día. Nos reímos y continuamos, porque estamos demasiado ocupados para realmente tomar nota, y los momentos son demasiado pequeños para recordar después. Pero si tan solo pudiésemos escribir algunos de ellos, tendríamos una pequeña canasta maravillosa de recuerdos de familia.
