Barrier World
by Louis CharbonneauBeneath their perfect society hides an ugly truthClockworld's General Rules of Conduct--the very foundations of order--have kept its citizens productive, compliant, and radiantly healthy for generations. There is no room for imperfection: illness, age, injury are all dealt with the same way: Reprocessing. No one Reprocessed ever returns.His whole life, Technician Cory questioned Clockworld's beliefs and practices, thoughts he usually kept to himself. But when his friend Owen is suddenly Reprocessed for a minor injury, Cory openly rebels against the Authority. He's arrested and sentenced to three months of hard labor among Clockworld's slave-class, the Grayshirts. Intellectuals, weeded out early as likely revolutionaries, the Grayshirts are separated from the rest of society. Here, though Cory's lost the privileges of the exerciser class, he is unrestricted by the conventions of society and soon finds himself part of a secret revolution. With his new allies, Cory sets off to debunk Clockworld's obscure rules and look for Owen. What they discover will shatter everything they know about Clockworld...and their own existence.
Barrington Bayley SF Gateway Omnibus: The Soul of the Robot, The Knights of the Limits, The Fall of Chronopolis
by Barrington BayleyAlthough largely, and unjustly, neglected by a modern audience, Bayley was a hugely influential figure to some of the greats of British SF, such as Michael Moorcock and M. John Harrison. He is perhaps best-known for THE FALL OF CHRONOPOLIS, which is collected in this omnibus, alongside THE SOUL OF THE ROBOT and the extraordinary story collection THE KNIGHTS OF THE LIMITS. THE FALL OF CHRONOPOLIS: The mighty ships of the Third Time Fleet relentlessly patrolled the Chronotic Empire's 1,000-year frontier, blotting out an error of history here or there before swooping back to challenge other time-travelling civilisations far into the future. Captain Mond Aton had been proud to serve in such a fleet. But now, falsely convicted of cowardice and dereliction of duty, he has been given the cruellest of sentences: to be sent unprotected into time as a lone messenger between the cruising timeships. After such an inconceivable experience in the endless voids there is only one option left to him. To be allowed to die. THE SOUL OF THE ROBOT: Jasperodus, a robot, sets out to prove he is the equal of any human being. His furturistic adventures as warrior, tyrant, renegade and statesman eventually lead him back home to the two human beings who created him. Question: Does he have a soul?

Barrio de Maravillas
by Rosa ChacelLA NOVELA MÁS EMBLEMÁTICA DE ROSA CHACEL, UNA OBRA FUNDAMENTAL DE LA LITERATURA ESPAÑOLA CONTEMPORÁNEA «[Una] sensibilidad lingüística fuera de serie.»Marta Sanz Al principio vemos a una niña sentada en una silla, quitando hilos de un paño de lino. La luz de la tarde ilumina su rostro concentrado en la labor; es como si Isabel tuviera que demostrar a cada rato que merece un lugar en aquel piso donde vive su amiga Elena, la chiquilla que lo sabe todo y todo lo organiza a su gusto porque la casa entera y la familia están a sus pies. Luego, cuando se haga de noche, Isabel subirá hasta la buhardilla donde vive con la madre. El futuro pide paso mientras en el caserón sigue el trasiego de vecinas y la calle se abre con nuevas propuestas. El barrio entero se convierte en un personaje más de este espléndido retablo del Madrid de principios del siglo XX, un lugar y un momento que Rosa Chacel ilumina con su talento para recrear la infancia desde las emociones en estado puro. Barrio de Maravillas, que se nutre de la vida de la autora pero es a la vez una espléndida novela, nos muestra un «yo» recordado y narrado con todas las armas de la buena literatura: las balas llegan lejos y pueden servir de guía para las nuevas generaciones.«En Barrio de Maravillas pienso hacer mi caricatura despiadada, como sólo Cervantes la hizo.»Rosa Chacel Reseñas:«[Su] inconmensurable capacidad de observación preside una novela en la que el método de transformación de la realidad es admirable.»Javier Marías «Una prosa soberbia, en un lenguaje preciso, justo, y en un uso mágico de la palabra, mágico no en el sentido de poético, sino en el de alquímico.»Ana María Moix «Deesas pocas personas de las que esperaba siempre no decires, sino revelación. Cuando [la] leo es lo mismo.»María Zambrano «Las palabras de Barrio de Maravillas se dirigen directamente al ojo y al oído, y página tras página, asistimos a una obra que, como el cine, se desarrolla en el tiempo y en el espacio.»Clara Janés, El País«La obra de Rosa Chacel es un arrebato incesante.»Claudio Guillén «[Chacel] convierte toda la literatura en absoluta sinestesia: cómo un olor te trae un recuerdo y el recuerdo una oscuridad que eres capaz de tocar.»Álvaro Macías, 20 Minutos «Trasunto de la introspección más exhaustiva y rigurosa, [su obra] nunca ofrece fruta del tiempo, de ningún tiempo, sino descarnada intemporalidad, interiorización del tiempo.»Carmen Martín Gaite«Una novela con mucho de la infancia de su autora, que nos traslada, desde una buhardilla hasta la calle.»Marie Claire «Un ejercicio de introspección [que] capta el ambiente del Madrid de la época, un ambiente de balcones y máquinas Singer.»Luis de la Cruz, elDiario«Una autora que supo situarse a la vanguardia de los años veinte sin descuidar la más fecunda tradición intelectual española.»Ana Rodríguez Fischer, El País «Inquieta, curiosa y atrevida. [...] Es el momento de recuperar a esta gran olvidada de la generación del 27.»Darío Luque, Anika Entre Libros
Barrio laberinto
by Leonardo Ledesma Watson"Ledesma actualiza el sentir del barrio de Matute y de la ciudad. Sus personajes están al filo de la ley, en insospechados laberintos que los pueden elevar a la redención". Martín Roldán Ruiz El pulso que recorre estos cuentos halla su origen en el corazón del barrio. El barrio: escenario, experiencia, sentimiento. La complejidad de sus límites determina a los personajes que se juegan la supervivencia a diario. Una fiesta infantil, un campo de fútbol, un callejón solitario, la parada del bus, el cuarto donde una pelota de tenis rebota contra la pared mientras alguien piensa que los sueños aún son un lugar de salvación. Al borde siempre del fracaso o el desencanto, los habitantes de este laberinto de la vida corriente logran entrever, en las experiencias límites, el sentido del amor, la amistad, la redención o la muerte. Leonardo Ledesma ha sabido trasvasar a su escritura el vigor de la oralidad callejera. El resultado es un estilo de acrisolada sencillez, que dota a sus historias de una voz auténtica y cercana. Barrio laberinto se inscribe así en los registros de un realismo urbano donde la experiencia cotidiana es, a un tiempo, ámbito de revelaciones e íntimo recuerdo.
Barrio-Logos: Space and Place in Urban Chicano Literature and Culture
by Villa Raúl HomeroStruggles over space and resistance to geographic displacement gave birth to much of Chicano history and culture. In this pathfinding book, Raúl Villa explores how California Chicano/a activists, journalists, writers, artists, and musicians have used expressive culture to oppose the community-destroying forces of urban renewal programs and massive freeway development and to create and defend a sense of Chicano place-identity.
Barrio: El Barrio de José
by George AnconaWelcome to José's neighborhood. In his barrio, people speak an easy mix of Spanish and English and sometimes even Chinese. The masked revelry of Halloween leads into the festive remembrances of the Day of the Dead. And murals on the walls and buildings sing out the stories of the people who live here. As familiar as any neighborhood yet as strange as a foreign country, Jose's barrio isn't in Mexico or Argentina--it's in San Francisco. Award-winning author and photographer George Ancona follows José through a season in the barrio, and in the process gives readers a glimpse of a community as rich and varied as America itself.
Barroco and Other Writings (Cultural Memory in the Present)
by Severo SarduySevero Sarduy was among the most important figures in twentieth-century Latin American fiction and a major representative of the literary tendency to which he gave the name Neobaroque. While most of Sarduy's literary work is available in English, his theoretical writings have largely remained untranslated. This volume—presenting Sarduy's central theoretical contribution, Barroco (1974), alongside other related works—remedies that oversight. Barroco marks a watershed in postwar thought on the Baroque, both in French post-structuralism and in the Latin American context. Sarduy traces a double history, reading events in the history of science alongside developments in the history of art, architecture, and literature. What emerges is a theory of the Baroque as decentering and displacement, as supplement and excess, a theory capacious enough to account for the old European Baroque as well as its queer, Latin American and global futures. In addition to Barroco, this volume includes texts spanning Sarduy's career, from 1960s essays published originally in Tel Quel to late works from the 1980s and '90s. It thus offers a complete picture of Sarduy's thinking on the Baroque.

Redmond Barry, un joven irlandés, está decidido a convertirse en un hombre rico e importante. Se alista en el ejército británico y participa en la Guerra de los Siete Años. Pronto deserta y se pasa al ejército prusiano, donde se convierte en espía. Barry, hipócrita, trepa y vanidoso, usa todos sus ardides para escalar en el mundo social del siglo XVIII, hasta alcanzar un punto álgido al casarse con lady Lyndon, la joven viuda de un acaudalado conde.«Cuanto más leo la obra de Thackeray, más convencida estoy de su singularidad: es único en su sagacidad, único en su veracidad, único en su sensibilidad... Thackeray es un titán.»CHARLOTTE BRONTË
Barry MacSweeney and the Politics of Post-War British Poetry: Seditious Things (Modern and Contemporary Poetry and Poetics)
by Luke RobertsThis book examines the literary impact of famed British poet, Barry MacSweeney, who worked at the forefront of poetic discovery in post-war Britain. Agitated equally by politics and the possibilities of artistic experimentation, Barry MacSweeney was ridiculed in the press, his literary reputation only recovering towards the end of his life which was cut short by alcoholism. With close readings of MacSweeney alongside his contemporaries, precursors, and influences, including J. H. Prynne, Shelley, Jack Spicer, and Sylvia Plath, Luke Roberts offers a fresh introduction to the field of modern poetry. Richly detailed with archival and bibliographic research, this book recovers the social and political context of MacSweeney's exciting, challenging, and controversial impact on modern and contemporary poetry.
Barry Squires, Full Tilt
by Heather SmithBarry Squires, Full Tilt takes readers on a romp through the streets of St. John's and into the Squires household, a place where tragedy strikes but love prevails. Derry Girls meets Billy Elliot with an East coast twist.It's 1995. When the Full Tilt Dancers give an inspiring performance at the opening of the new bingo hall, twelve-year-old Finbar (Barry) Squires wants desperately to join the troupe. Led by Father O'Flaherty, the Full Tilt Irish Step Dancers are the most sought-after act in St. John's, Newfoundland (closely followed by popular bagpiper, Alfie Bragg and his Agony Bag). Having watched Riverdance twice, Barry figures he'll nail the audition. And good thing too -- it'd be nice to be known for something other than the port wine stain on his cheek. With questionable talent and an unpredictable temper, Barry's journey to stardom is jeopardized by his parents' refusal to take his dreams seriously. Thankfully, Barry has the support of a lively cast of characters: his ever-present grandmother, Nanny Squires; his adorable baby brother, Gord; an old British rocker named Uneven Steven; a group of geriatrics from the One Step Closer to God Nursing Home; and Saibal, a friend with whom Barry gets up to no good. Told with humor and a healthy dose of irreverence, Barry Squires, Full Tilt is the latest novel by Heather Smith, the award-winning author of The Agony of Bun O&’Keefe and Chicken Girl.
Barry Trotter and the Dead Horse (Barry Trotter, #3)
by Michael E. Gerber[from the back cover:] "Find out just how awful Barry was when he first came to Hogwash. The previous two Barry Trotter books have sold 600,000 copies, to people all around the world who really should know better. So when Mike said he wanted to do a prequel (technical terminology for 'artistically unjustified but financially sound hasty last-minute addition to an unexpectedly successful series of books') you can be sure we put on our best 'what-a-great-idea' faces, and agreed. And because this is a 'prequel' (see above) you really don't have to have read either Barry Trotter and the Shameless Parody or Barry Trotter and the Unnecessary Sequel (even though we're taking this opportunity to remind you just what great books they really are) before you buy this book." Told in flashbacks, hypnotized Barry experiences his first true romance and a trip to the afterlife. He tries to recharge his wand by reeking pointless chaos as he flees across the world pursued by Lord Valumart, who, as always, is intent on killing him. Included at the end of this intelligent and idiotic story full of sophisticated and gutter humor are a hilarious glossary and ridiculous set of ten reading group discussion questions. All three of the Barry Trotter parody's of the Harry Potter series are in the Bookshare collection.
Barry Trotter and the Unauthorized Parody
by Michael GerberWARNING: THIS ISN'T THE REAL THING. . . IT'S FUNNIER! "Stop that movie," Headmaster Alpo Bumblemore said, "or Hogwash is history!" Already overrun by brawling, fetid fans of the bestselling Barry Trotter books, Hogwash is certain to be pulled down brick by brick after Barry's new big-budget biopic debuts. So Barry Trotter, Ermine Cringer, and Lon Measly are hauled out of retirement to face their toughest challenge yet.
Barry Trotter and the Unauthorized Parody (Barry Trotter, #1)
by Michael E. GerberBarry Trotter is 22 and the only student in Hogwash history ever to be held back 5 times. From a Quiddit accident, pleasant, playful, loyal, Lon has a hole through his head, an IQ of 62 and exhibits many doggie behaviors. Ermine teaches at St. Hilary's Academy for the Marginally-Magical and is more than a flirt. Together they go on a quest to New York and Hollywood to stop the filming of the first Barry Trotter blockbuster film the very publicity for which has caused Hogwash School to be overrun buy rude, unkempt, insane fans. Ferd and Jorge Measly join them and bad goes to worse. There are new magic potions, Boarsbollocks' Brew, and abilities, pretzeltongues who can lick their own eyeballs. The friends must make their way through putrid smells, foul fluids, and bathroom humor. Nothing is safe from Star Wars to Buddhism. And of course, Lord Valumart lurks where he is least suspected to corrupt Harry who is wrestling with the new information that he is to be killed off in the next novel because who wants to read, Barry Trotter and the Difficult Tax Return? Readers who enjoy humor that ranges from clever to crude and aren't Harry Potter purists, will find this parody to be packed with laughs. Don't miss the humor from the copyright page at the beginning of the book, to the I Hate You letter at the end where readers are given a series of check lists to register their objections.
Barry Trotter and the Unnecessary Sequel (Barry Trotter, #2)
by Michael E. GerberLike a chronic skin condition, the world's most irritating wizard is back! Barry Trotter, now 38 (going on 11), has returned to the Hogwash School for Wizardry and Witchcrap. He and his wife, Ermine Cringer, are there to deposit their Muddle-loving son Nigel, 11 (going on 38), and about as magical as a spork. Just as Barry and Ermine are set to leave, Headmister Dorco Malfeasance dies. Who did it? Who cares - nobody much liked Dorco anyway. Barry and Ermine are installed as interim heads of the School, and kick off a carnival of arrested development. But then, in the sort of plot twist that could only happen in a cheap novel designed to leech off a massive pop culture phenomenon, Barry develops youthenasia. He begins a steady march backwards in age and reliving the horrors of adolescence (including the Acne of Fire) may not be the end of it ...Suddenly, solving the mystery becomes a matter of Life and Death. Do they suspect Snipe, as usual, only to find out Lord Valumart's behind it? Everyone's a suspect - which means all your favorite characters are back for another round of abuse. Barry, Ermine, and the dog-brained manchild Lon Measly must find the murderer ... or fill at least 336 pages trying! Witty. Cultured. Erudite. Thought-Provoking. Brilliant. None of these describe Michael Gerber. Nevertheless, his first book, Barry Trotter and the Unauthorized Parody, sold shedloads, thanks to a raft of specious and irresponsible claims made by the Publisher. And while we have been instructed by the court to tell you that this sequel will NOT regrow your hair, let you earn thousands a week working from home, or free up $28 million 'trapped in Nigeria', it WILL increase the size of your penis 1-3 inches- even if you don't have one to begin with! (Whether this is a good thing or not, we'll leave up to you.) While we're waiting for the inevitable legal action, we might as well tell you that Mr. Gerber lives in Chicago with his wife and three cats. Hobbies include solitaire, hypochrondria, and sleeping.
Barry, Boyhound
by Andy SpearmanThis is the story of a boy named Barry. Some stuff happens, and overnight like magic he turns into a boyhound. Not a hound, but a boyhound–which means while he may still look like a boy, he is, in fact, a dog. And even in his boyhound brain, Barry knows there are lots of advantages to being a dog. You don’t have to clean your room or use dental floss, for example. But things get crazy. He eats something too disgusting to mention. He’s attacked by telepathic squirrels. An innocent squashed frog becomes involved. Plus, his mother’s getting pretty mad. And that’s all before the really bad thing happens. . . .
Barry: The Fish With Fingers
by Sue HendraLife under the sea can be as dull as dishwater, until Barry arrives, that is. See, Barry is no ordinary fish-he's a fish withfingers! And fingers mean finger puppets, finger painting, knitting, counting to ten, tickling, and all sorts of fun things. It isn't long before all of the other fish want fingers, too. Life under the sea will never be the same again. . . . Sue Hendra's hilarious text and bright, bold, colorful art will have youngsters begging to read this story again and again. Fro...
Barry: The Story of a Wolf Dog (Famous Dog Stories)
by Thomas C. HinkleWhen Jim Williams saved the tiny gray pup from the river, he gained a dog for life. The rescued pup named Barry grew into a large dog bearing a striking resemblance to a timber wolf, so much so that the longhorns on the ranch would attack him.

Now, with Jim in danger, Barry returns to his master for a final showdown with the wolf pack leader.
