"Ánte's life has been steeped in Sámi tradition. It is indisputable to him that he, an only child, will keep working with the reindeer. But there is something else too, something tugging at him. His feelings for his best friend Erik have changed, grown into something bigger. Ánte is so aware of Erik and his body in relation to his own; everything he does matters so much.

3) Una flor
Author
Formats
Description
Una flor de Alejandro Palomas se presenta como un experimento poético con reminiscencias simbolistas en el que los versos se suceden como reflexiones, certezas e inquietudes. El símbolo, la flor, o, más claramente, una flor, se erige como paralelismo de temas universales, matizados con intensos pensamientos sobre el oficio del poeta y sobre el poema mismo. "El poeta no se desliza sobre el tiempo. / El poeta lo escala".
4) Compro oro
Author

Description
Desde su sugerente título, Niebla plantea un diálogo entre el yo y el mundo, sugiriendo esa idea poderosa del capitalismo, que se recoge desde el titulo: COMPRO ORO, es decir, comprar oro como signo del mundo contemporáneo para sobrevivir o enriquecerse. Pero en la estructura profunda del libro no existe ese afán financiero, sino su propia percepción de la cotidianidad íntima y personal. No le es ajeno ni el entorno ni su propia presencia frente...

Maguire Regarded as one of the best representatives since World War II of the rich and ancient art of poetry in Poland, Wislawa Szymborska (1923-2012) is, in the translators' words, "that rarest of phenomena: a serious poet who commands a large audience in her native land."

Description
Los Poemas de Baltasar de Alcázar no fueron publicados por el escritor. Por fortuna, el pintor Francisco Pacheco realizó copias del único manuscrito que se conservaba.
Como escritor, demostró un brillante dominio de la métrica. Los temas que caracterizan la obra poética de Alcázar fueron un tanto triviales; por esta razón, a menudo se le etiqueta injustamente al autor como "poeta menor". Estuvo muy influido por los poetas latinos Marcial y...

The path to Mozart runs through his wife Constanze.
That path was lost until the discovery of a set of travel diaries, which recorded one couple's visit with Constanze and other loved ones following Mozart's death. Those diaries provided a century-old sketch of Mozart, his family, and friends that left readers wanting more. Using the diaries as a framework, All the Scattered Pages provides a provocative dramatization of what may have really transpired...
