In 1963, Senator Jacob Javits proposed that the world's business community join together to form a new corporation that would underwrite private sector investments throughout Latin America. He presented his ideas to a NATO parliamentary meeting in Paris. His proposal was endorsed by the delegates, who passed a resolution recommending that the Secretaries-General of the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the Organization of American States (OAS) and the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) give their support.A task force was created and funded by the Ford Foundation, led by George S. Moore, President of the First National City Bank (now Citibank), Hermann Abs of Germany's Deutsche Bank and Gianni Agnelli of Fiat, among others. Javits was able to corral 240 of the world's largest corporations into forming an investment vehicle to do economic development in Latin America. Unfortunately, the structure of the venture became less like an investment company and more like a social club, a fact that would debilitate shareholder resolve just when it was most needed.This book is about how the Senator's dream faded as ADELA's unfettered enthusiasts invested -- increasingly with borrowed money -- in new ventures that would require years of good luck to prosper. Then the advent of Latin America's lost decade of the 1980s, precipitated by the Arab-Israeli war of 1973, spooked ADELA's creditor banks into closing it down. This book is the story of ADELA.
At a mountain resort, a refined intellectual runs into his former pupil, now a beautiful woman half his age. As the nature of their rekindled relationship changes, he documents with perverse lucidity his attempt to resist falling in love with her. Adela is a fin de si cle novel written by Garabet Ibrăileanu, one of Romania's most important literary critics. The author spent a decade refining and circulating the work among his literary friends, finally publishing it a year before his death (1933). It received the National Novel Award that same year. A sharp analysis of male prudeness and idealism.--George Calinescu, critic One of the most beautiful and enduring specimens of the Romanian analytical novel.--Eugenia Tudor-Anton, writer A painful, full of doubts midlife crisis of an overcomplicated man. Courageous book for its time, deprecated (but nevertheless delightful) by today's standards. --George Cocu, reviewer A model of psychological literature imbued with genuine poetry.--Eugen Lovinescu, critic

George MacDonald (1824-1905) was a Scottish minister who is widely recognized as the most influential fantasist of the nineteenth century. His many works include Phantastes, Lilith, The Princess and the Goblin, and The Gifts of the Child Christ. In Adela Cathcart, MacDonald writes about a group of friends who nurse a sick young woman back to health by meeting together to tell stories. In the vein of The Canterbury Tales, the many legends and ballads they invent include some of MacDonald's richest and most original writing. The most famous of these stories include: The Light Princess. A child is cursed with an inability to recognize anything serious or sorrowful in life, but can only find happiness by learning to weep. The Shadows. A man is transported to the kingdom of fairies and beholds how these dark spirits work to spread happiness and consolation through the world. The Giant's Heart. A deathless giant with no heart in his body captures six princes and their wives in his enchanted castle. The youngest brother of the princes goes on a quest to rescue them by finding the hiding place of the giant's heart. The collection also includes The Broken Swords, The Cruel Painter, The Castle, My Uncle Peter, A Child's Holiday, and Birth, Dreaming, Death.
This work probes into the socio-political and cultural setting in South Texas (1915-1992) via data found in the private archival collection of Adela Sloss-Vento; it focuses on her role as an activist, writer and civil/human rights pioneer. It is only through this archive that documentation becomes available of her participation in this unknown and unpublicized civil rights movement. It is a realistic portrayal of an exclusionist semi-colonial society that the reader discovers; a Jim Crow type of political and racial existence against all people of Mexican descent. It represents Sloss-Vento’s lifelong struggle for economic and social equality. Adela Sloss-Vento’s role as a Civil Rights pioneer antedates Dr. Anna Pauline Murray by eight years and Martin Luther King by twenty-eight years. She places her mark in history as a leader, not only for the first seminal Mexican-American Civil Rights Movement of Texas but the first woman and voice in an early, if not the earliest Civil Rights Movement in the United States.
