The Memoirs of Helen of Troy
by Amanda ElyotGossips began whispering about Princess Helen from the moment of her birth. A daughter of the royal house of Sparta, she was not truly the progeny of King Tyndareus, they murmured, but of Zeus, king of the gods. Her mother, Queen Leda, a powerful priestess, was branded an adulteress, with tragic consequences. To complicate matters, as Helen grew to adulthood her beauty was so breathtaking that it overshadowed even that of her jealous sister, Clytemnestra, making her even more of an outcast within her own family. So it came as something of a relief to her when she was kidnapped by Theseus, king of Athens, in a gambit to replenish his kingdom's coffers. But Helen fell in love with the much older Theseus, and to his surprise, he found himself enamored of her as well. On her forced return to Sparta, Helen was hastily married off to the tepid Menelaus for the sake of an advantageous political alliance. Yet even after years of marriage, the spirited, passionate Helen never became the docile wife King Menelaus desired, and when she fell in love with another man--Paris Alexandros, the prodigal son of King Priam of Troy--Helen unwittingly set the stage for the ultimate conflict: a war that would destroy nearly all she held dear.

Max solo tiene 8 años y no es como los demás niños. Él vive para adentro y cuanto menos le molesten, mucho mejor. No le gustan los cambios, las sorpresas, los ruidos, que lo toquen y que le hagan hablar por hablar. Si alguien le preguntara cuándo es más feliz, seguro que diría que jugando con sus legos planeando batallas entre ejércitos enemigos. Max no tiene amigos, porque nadie lo entiende y todos, hasta los profesores y sus propios padres, quieren que sea de otra manera. Solo me tiene a mí, que soy su amigo desde hace cinco años. Ahora sé que Max corre peligro y solo yo lo puedo ayudar. El problema es que Max es el único que puede verme y oírme. Tengo mucho miedo por él, pero sobre todo por mí. Los padres de Max dicen que soy un «amigo imaginario». Espero que a estas alturas tengas claro que no soy imaginario.

The Mending of Broken Bones: A Modern Guide to Classical Algebra
by Paul LockhartA joyful and intimate celebration of the beauty and creativity of algebra from one of the foremost math educators of our time.For many of us, algebra conjures up memories of dull classes spent wondering when we’d ever have to solve a system of equations or factor a polynomial. Indeed, most of the time, if we need to plan a budget or figure out how early to leave the house for work, common sense or a quick, seat-of-the-pants approximation is good enough.But as mathematician Paul Lockhart argues in The Mending of Broken Bones, once we stop thinking of algebra in terms of its practical applications, we can appreciate it for the beautiful and gratifying subject that it is. In his hands, algebra is the delicate craft of untangling numerical puzzles to reveal the hidden patterns and often surprising behaviors of the numbers themselves. As Lockhart traverses numerical systems, slips into and out of higher-dimensional space, and delights in the intimate connections between algebra and geometry, we come to see the discipline from his viewpoint: not as the mundane exercises of our school years, but instead as an art form whose beauty lies in its elegant simplicity.Written in Lockhart’s charming and conversational prose, The Mending of Broken Bones is an impassioned and deeply personal celebration of algebra that helps us experience the profound joys of mathematical discovery.
