Una tribu
by Antonio Malpica"Cada quién lleva un tatuaje distinto al de todos los demás en su interior. Y eso, a fin de cuentas, es su mayor fortaleza". "A veces siento que todo lo que impide al ser humano caminar descalzo por la hierba es una gran mentira." El gran jefe Tenaya y su pueblo habitan plácidamente el valle prohibido de Yosemite, a los pies del Capitán, el monolito preferido que hoy en día escalan los montañistas más atrevidos. Pero en 1850, aquella tribu tuvo que enfrentar una persecución sin tregua, una partida de ajedrez con los invasores del territorio piel roja. Petirrojo, hijo de Tenaya, sabe que su gente es de espíritu despreocupado, pero en su interior bullen las tribulaciones: la inseguridad frente a los talentos de sus hermanos, carismáticos y decididos; el temor de defraudar a su padre, y la vacilación ante el amor de Luz de Día, su amada desde niños. ¿Quién no ha temido quedar mal conquienes más le importan? A Tenaya le basta una vida simple y feliz para que su paso por la tierra sea provechoso, pero en ocasiones se necesita demostrar algo, a sí mismo y a los demás. Hasta ahora, Petirrojo no sabe para qué está en el mundo y se lo reprocha, pero se dará cuenta de que se necesita algo más que fuerza y astucia para vencer al enemigo, y poder así ser digno y libre. ¿Acaso una persona o una nación entera dejaría de existir si no alcanzara un sitio en la memoria del mundo? ¿Qué audacia tan grande se necesitará intentar en esta vida para que los demás te recuerden?

Unbirthday-B&N Exclusive Edition: A Twisted Tale (A Twisted Tale)
by Liz BraswellWhat if Wonderland was in peril and Alice was very, very late? Alice is different than other eighteen-year-old ladies in Kexford, which is perfectly fine with her. She'd rather spend golden afternoons with her trusty camera or in her aunt Vivian's lively salon, ignoring her sister's wishes that she stop all that "nonsense" and become a "respectable" member of society. Alice is happy to meander to Miss. Yao's teashop or to visit the children playing in the Square. She's also interested in learning more about the young lawyer she met there, but just because she's curious, of course, not because he was sweet and charming. But when Alice develops photographs she has recently taken about town, familiar faces of old suddenly appear in the place of her actual subjects-the Queen of Hearts, the Mad Hatter, the Caterpillar. There's something eerily off about them, even for Wonderland creatures. And as Alice develops a self-portrait, she finds the most disturbing image of all-a badly-injured dark-haired girl asking for Alice's help. Mary Ann. Returning to the place of nonsense from her childhood, Alice finds herself on a mission to stop the Queen of Hearts' tyrannical rule and to find her place in both worlds. But will she able to do so . . . before the End of Time?

Uncharted Depths: Descent Narratives in English and French Children's Literature
by Kiera Vaclavik"The descent to the underworld is one of our oldest stories. It recurs in the most influential texts of early European literature - the Odyssey , the Aeneid , the Inferno - and no less so in the classics of children's literature. Vaclavik shows that retellings for young readers certainly shift emphases, working the legend through transformations of all kinds, but also that much of the traditional katabasis story remains firmly in place. The critical study of children's literature remains a relatively new field, in which such fundamental presences have gone largely unnoticed. As Vaclavik demonstrates, many novels which remain lively and resonant for adult readers richly repay critical attention. And if the incomparable explorer's tales of Jules Verne, H. Rider Haggard, Hector Malot and even Lewis Carroll have proved durable beyond all expectations, one reason may be that there is no lure like that of the underworld, and none harder to escape. Kiera Vaclavik is Lecturer in French and Comparative Literature at Queen Mary, University of London."
