An intense love
by Patrice MartinezThere is terrible disease in this world: jealousy. And although in each mortal it remains coiled, hidden in the lair of reason and intellect, it cannot satisfy itself; as soon as hunger touches it, it awakens to the unconsciousness of its action in order to sustain itself... But its voracity has no limits and can go beyond the understanding of reason, and in this it can dramatically affect the destiny of every human being. This is what happened to the strategist Aristoteles, experienced by a frenzied jealousy, the man of war harbored a fierce hatred against his main rival, the dashing Demetrius. So that his dream evaporated to give way to horrible nightmares arisen from his tormented mind... "An intense love" is a free adaptation of a text of Parthenius of Nicaea: "Passion of love", number 23: "chilonis"
AnOther E.E. Cummings
by E. E. Cummings Richard Kostelanetz<P>An eye-opening selection of Cumming's more avant-garde poetry and prose. <P>As a poet, Cummings was a pioneer not only in linguistic and typographic inventions, but also in sound and concrete poetry. But his prose is no less experimental; he wrote memoirs, essays, and fiction that are constantly provocative and often radically experimental. <P>To read the avant-garde Cummings is to read a writer who consistently broke with established norms, "never to rest and never to have: only to grow." To not read the avant-garde Cummings is to not read Cummings. <P>Adjusting type size may change line breaks. Landscape mode may help to preserve line breaks.

And when her parents announce a new baby is coming, that means they'll have even less time for Ana María. <p><p> Then she hears about the Eleanor School, New York City's best private academy. If Ana María can win a scholarship, she'll be able to get out of her Washington Heights neighborhood school and achieve the education she's longed for.

But some new friends and honest conversations help her figure out what truly matters, and know that she can succeed no matter what.

by Lissette DecosFans of Abby Jimenez and Alexis Daria will love this novel about one New York City woman skilled in producing swoon‑worthy reality TV shows but whose own life is a mess, with nothing ever going according to plan. As a reality TV producer, Ana Karina orchestrates extravagant marriage proposals that always (well, mostly) go as planned. When they don&’t, she&’s not afraid to cut and paste scenes to make the moment picture-perfect. If only Ana&’s own life was as simple to direct. Her colleagues are getting promotions. Her best friend and her younger sister are both getting married. Everyone is moving forward—except Ana. Sick of feeling stuck, she decides to start living with no regrets. She&’s going to pitch all her ideas at work, no matter how unlikely. She&’ll take a chance on a guy even if he doesn&’t check all her boxes for Mr. Right. Soon, she&’s swept up in a roller coaster of exhilarating dates—a comedy show, a Jane Austen reenactment, a rave pool party, and a whirlwind trip to Vienna. With all this excitement, Ana should be on her way to her own happily-ever-after, but instead her life is getting messier by the second. Yet throwing caution to the wind may still bring Ana more than she hoped for as she begins to listen to her heart and realizes the life—and man—truly meant for her might be the one she never saw coming.
