Wellington's mission was to save Portugal from the irresistible armies of Napoleon -- and he had a plan to do it. A hard plan, but a good one. The problem was traitors in high places: traitors secretly opposing his methods and playing the spy for the enemy. All depended on secrecy and unity of action. And then a young British officer made a moronic blunder, and gave the plotters their chance to upset the delicate balance. Their influence caused the Portuguese Council of Regency to demand that the culprit be made a scapegoat. He was at large -- and the man responsible for his capture and execution was his own brother-in-law, Sir Terrence Amoy. Amoy, British adjutant-general at Lisbon.
La obra de Rafael Iglesia (1952-2015) ha sido extensamente difundida. No obstante, de la copiosa labor cr tica dedicada a su producci n se recorta un campo escasamente explorado: su programa creativo. Para abordarlo, Claudio Solari hace uso de la definici n que Paul Val ry hiciera de po tica como acci n que hace y que atiende a los dos movimientos que concurren en igual medida en los trabajos de Iglesia: el de la contradicci n y el error, y el del orden y la concentraci n. El trabajo devela una construcci n po tica en Iglesia que, seg n la hip tesis del autor, se funda en concordancias entre sus trayectos de lecturas y sus exploraciones estructurales juegos con maderitas y se reafirma en la escritura de las memorias de sus obras como momento de reflexi n ex post. Las fuentes son las obras construidas por Iglesia, sus escritos publicados, una serie de entrevistas a sus colaboradores y colegas, un desordenado archivo inform tico rescatado de su computadora y parte de su biblioteca. Respecto de esta ltima, Solari presta especial atenci n a las anotaciones al margen y los subrayados realizados por el arquitecto que, como huellas de sus lecturas, permiten recuperar relaciones m s certeras con sus proyectos y escritos. Estas intervenciones en los libros son entonces claves para nutrir el inter s en el proceso creativo mismo como dimensi n insoslayable para entender la obra de Iglesia.
El poeta que hace muchos a os dijo pertenecer a "un pueblo de grandes comedores de serpientes" (Los cuadernos del destierro, 1960) no ha dejado nunca de buscar la palabra "que sea como el temblor que la sostiene" (Intemperie, (1977). A lo largo de los a os su constancia en esa b squeda le ha permitido componer una obra honda y s lida, paralela a su labor docente y a la escritura luminosa de ensayos, fragmentos y aforismos que bien pueden ser le dos no s lo como pensamiento, sino tambi n como otra forma de su poes a. Rafael Cadenas (Barquisimeto, Venezuela, 1930) es hoy uno de los poetas vivos m s importantes de la lengua espa ola. Vive en Caracas, donde es la conciencia intelectual de su afligida Venezuela. Como dijo el escritor Antonio L pez Ortega, Rafael es tambi n "el pa s Cadenas". Un pa s en el que podemos sobrevivir y resistir. Estas p ginas, con una breve selecci n de textos del poeta, son un acercamiento a su obra desde la mirada de 31 lectores: Mar a Fernanda Palacios, Joaqu n Marta Sosa, Jos Pulido, Freddy Castillo Castellanos, Reinaldo Rodr guez Anzola, Enrique Viloria Vera, Jos Mar a Cadenas, Alberto Hern ndez, Armando Rojas Guardia, Moraima Guanipa, Alfredo Chac n, Arturo Guti rrez Plaza, Rub n Monasterios, Yolanda Pantin, Rafael Arr iz Lucca, Antonio L pez Ortega, Freddy Torrealba Z., Diego Arroyo Gil, Rosario Anzola, Mariano Nava Contreras, Eduardo Meier, Jacqueline Goldberg, Victoria de Stefano, Guillermo Sucre, Eugenio Montejo, Ana Mar a Hurtado, Elisa Lerner, Mar a Ram rez Ribes, Manuel Caballero, Emeterio G mez, J.

Winner, Alistair MacLeod Prize for Short Fiction Long-Shortlisted, ReLit Award (Short Fiction)"You go through life convinced you’re going to get diabetes like your old man and one day you choke to death on chicken gristle, and the autopsy shows your blood sugars were perfect."The seventeen stories in Elaine McCluskey’s latest collection, Rafael Has Pretty Eyes, follow characters who have reached a four-way stop in life; some are deciding whether to follow the signs or defy them; others find a sinkhole forming beneath their feet.A former fast-talking, big-bucks radio host now lives as a divorced payday loaner working in a strip mall; a football wide receiver at a small Canadian university works the night shift as a bouncer while recovering from his third concussion; a well-liked city councilor is arrested on a packed bus. As one character puts it, "life is just one extended series of anecdotes strung together until they kill you."Set in the Maritimes but transcending regional boundaries, McCluskey’s stories are experimental, sometimes provocative, and often about those living on the margins. Smart, compassionate and unsparing, Rafael Has Pretty Eyes explores the absurdity and interconnectedness of a life adrift.
