Bakkhai
by Anne Carson EuripidesA stunning, new translation by the poet and classicist Anne Carson, first performed in 2015 at the Almeida Theatre in London Anne Carson writes, “Euripides was a playwright of the fifth century BC who reinvented Greek tragedy, setting it on a path that leads straight to reality TV. His plays broke all the rules, upended convention and outraged conservative critics. The Bakkhai is his most subversive play, telling the story of a man who cannot admit he would rather live in the skin of a woman, and a god who seems to combine all sexualities into a single ruinous demand for adoration. Dionysos is the god of intoxication. Once you fall under his influence, there is no telling where you will end up.”
Baksheesh
by Ruth Whitehouse Esmahan AykolKati Hirschel, the owner of Istanbul's only mystery book store, is fed up. It all started when her lover Selim insisted that she behave like the Turkish wife of a respectable lawyer. Looking demure and making witty small talk were the only requirements. Then her landlord announced an outrageous rent increase on her Istanbul apartment.She has no desire to move in with Selim. She'd rather learn the art of bribing government officials in order to find a new place. Kati is offered a large apartment with a view over the Bosphorus at a bargain price. Too good to be true until a man is found murdered there and she becomes the police's prime suspect. In her second novel Esmahan Aykol takes us to the alleys and boulevards of cosmopolitan Istanbul, to posh villas and seedy basement flats, to the property agents and lawyers, to Islamist leaders and city officials-in fact everywhere that baksheesh helps move things along. Esmahan Aykol was born in 1970 in Edirne, Turkey. She lives in Istanbul and Berlin. She has written three Kati Hirschel novels. Baksheesh is the second and has been published in Turkish, German, French, and Italian. The first, Hotel Bosphorus, was published by Bitter Lemon Press in 2011.

Balaam's Ass: Volume 1: Frameworks, Arguments, English to 1250 (The Middle Ages Series)
by Nicholas WatsonFor over seven hundred years, bodies of writing in vernacular languages served an indispensable role in the religious and intellectual culture of medieval Christian England, yet the character and extent of their importance have been insufficiently recognized. A longstanding identification of medieval western European Christianity with the Latin language and a lack of awareness about the sheer variety and quantity of vernacular religious writing from the English Middle Ages have hampered our understanding of the period, exercising a tenacious hold on much scholarship.Bringing together work across a range of disciplines, including literary study, Christian theology, social history, and the history of institutions, Balaam's Ass attempts the first comprehensive overview of religious writing in early England's three most important vernacular languages, Old English, Insular French, and Middle English, between the ninth and sixteenth centuries. Nicholas Watson argues not only that these texts comprise the oldest continuous tradition of European vernacular writing, but that they are essential to our understanding of how Christianity shaped and informed the lives of individuals, communities, and polities in the Middle Ages.This first of three volumes lays out the long post-Reformation history of the false claim that the medieval Catholic Church was hostile to the vernacular. It analyzes the complicated idea of the vernacular, a medieval innovation instantiated in a huge body of surviving vernacular religious texts. Finally, it focuses on the first, long generation of these writings, in Old English and early Middle English.
Balada
by Marcelo CohenNovela ganadora del Premio de la Crítica 2011 que otorga la Fundación El Libro. Balada es una deliciosa comedia romántica que se toma el amor en serio, una road movie guiada no por la deriva sino por una idea fija, una meditación acerca del mal y de los usos del bien, y otra incursión del autor de Casa de Ottro en el Delta Panorámico, su ilimitado archipiélago de la imaginación. Con una ligereza magistral, Cohen escribió una aventura literaria en la que cada frase es un don y cada página una invitación al asombro y la gracia. Lerena Dost es una chica arrolladora y exitosa hasta que cae en desgracia: su novio la abandona, la despiden del trabajo, le exigen dejar el departamento que alquila y su madre, a quien recurre buscando amparo, la rechaza. Parece una conspiración para aleccionarla: todos la acusan de ser una manipuladora. Cuando Lerena empieza a sospechar que tienen razón, un encuentro providencial con una desconocida en un ascensor le brinda un número, que ella juega en la lotería. Y gana. Pero Lerena decide que no tocará un centavo de sus millones hasta que no encuentre a esa mujer y le haga una retribución. Lerena ignora que no persigue a una mujer cualquiera sino a alguien que acaso no crea en el agradecimiento y que no quiere dejarse encontrar. Es Dielsi Munava, ex cantante y oscura guía espiritual de los Atinados, una organización social que controla entre sombras la región central de isla Asunde. Para encarar ese viaje, Lerena busca sostén en uno de los hombres que más la conoció en la intimidad. Suano Botilecue, su ex psicólogo, un viejo amor y otra víctima de la personalidad de Lerena, no tiene claro qué deuda se propone pagar ella, y mientras la ayuda a averiguarlo hurga entre los rescoldos de una historia que lo hizo sufrir para descubrir qué permanece vivo y qué posibilidades hay de que una persona cambie. La novela obtuvo en 2011 el Premio de la Crítica que anualmente otorga la Fundación El Libro en "reconocimiento al mejor libro de Creación Literaria publicado durante el último año".
Balada de los ángeles caídos
by Israel T. HoltzeimerUna novela de traiciones, amores desastrosos y falsos pofetas en un México distópico. «Y se sintió como un vulgar ladrón a un costado de Cristo, como una adúltera esperando a ser lapidada. Entendió que el amor, tan intenso y fracturado en su pecho, se diluyó entre sus dedos delgados como cañas secas.» México, 2018. El presidente anterior se ve obligado a renunciar, pues el país está inmerso en la incertidumbre económica y la descomposición social. Los aires de renovación se sienten en el ambiente y el Partido Inteligente postula a Máximo, que llega a la presidencia de manera sorpresiva. Sin embargo, lo que parecía un gran cambio resulta en un gobierno totalitario y clasista. Con un poder absoluto, el ahora dictador prohíbe la libertad de credos y criminaliza cualquier actividad religiosa. El progreso propuesto por Máximo margina y castiga a más de la mitad dela población. Ante este escenario apocalíptico, un pequeño grupo de creyentes se atrinchera en la delegación de Iztapalapa. Allí, algunos jóvenes llamados «Ángeles» hacen frente a la opresión del gobierno de Máximo. La existencia de estos Ángeles está marcada por el desafío constante de las fuerzas federales, el amor incondicional a Dios, las tentaciones y la supervivencia en la pobreza extrema. ¿Podrá su ejemplo encender la rebelión en el resto del país? ¿Hasta dónde llegará Máximo en su brutal manera de ejercer el poder?
