Relato corto sobre un hombre que no puede ser más de lo que es.

Los recuerdos se agolpan, abriendo paso como abre un cuchillo la piel: ¿cómo traer de vuelta el pasado sin que regrese el dolor? ¿Cómo justificar la traición, el olvido, el abandono, sin importar la causa, los motivos?...

Excerpt Details
Pero entre los gritos ella no entiende su nombre, no descifra el "¡Tita, Tita!", conque la interpelan sobre la algarabía del chaparrón, en tanto su hija la tira de la mano, porque un auto sube la cuesta y de ella desciende un espectro que es copia del pasado: el cabello rojizo y una mirada amarilla con una mujer y dos niñas de trenzas negras detrás, y su hija se detiene en su tirón, antes de gritar, conforme sus ojos oscilan hacia el diluvio que nubla la visión, la tierra mojada que rechaza los golpes del líquido ajeno, la tierra endurecida que no sabe ahora, como no supo aquel lejano día aceptar de inmediato el agua, como ella, como la tierra que no se abrió ni se abre como ella ni como la piel cuando la traza un machete afilado. No, piensa, la tierra no otorga de inmediato su complacencia al arado, incluso si ha sido largo tiempo abandonada; no es como ella, entregada al cuerpo oloroso que la extendió sobre el catre y la penetró en un mutuo gemido que fue como un sacrificio ritual, dos cuerpos sudorosos por el calor de la tarde que permanecieron tendidos, mientras la tarde caía y ella pensaba en Ramiro sin pensar en su propio c...

Tempos Verbais é um drama satírico em um ato que trata conflitos internos do nosso herói, um eu-presente derrotado e sem chão, com a personificação do seu passado e com a de seu futuro travando uma profunda e complexa discussão sobre as ações, consequências e responsabilidades de cada um deles para com a própria vida. Um roteiro integrante e angustiante, salpicado de bom humor, que levará o leitor, porque não expectador, a uma divertida, mas séria reflexão....

A book that analyzes the different archetypes of love, "Ayer La Lluvia" [Yesterday The Rain] is the first work in prose published by Uruguayan writer Emilio Pérez Miguel, and his third book overall after having released two volumes of poetry. In "Ayer La Lluvia", all the shades and half-shades that can constitute any person's inner landscape are surveyed across eleven micro-stories and a short novel, and the ways in which human beings can either be deprived of their most basic motivations or propelled towards their greatest successes are studied time and again. Beginning with "Hemisferios" [Hemispheres] (about the love that leads to death) and ending with "Cuando Estabas Ahí" [In The Days That You Were There] (a short novel centered on the death that leads to love) the pages of the book ponder on archetypes as different as ideal love, real love, surrogate love, the love for hatred... basically, all these stations in which any person's emotional journey can come to rest are arrived at. And the decision to stay anywhere for longer than intended or to take a leave before the time has truly come is analyzed to the bitter end....

A novel on Knyaz Alexander of Battenberg, the first prince of modern Bulgaria

Excerpt Details
Крачи в редиците на австрийската войска, всяка крачка отхвърля някоя мисъл. Не от вчера е без Kняжеството, не от вчера е в изгнание. Княз без Княжество, „Да имаш и да нямаш!“ - както често повтаряше Мари. Изгнание къде? За какво изгнание става дума? Изгнание в света, в който е израснал? Изгнание в родното? След като си разбрал, че да си чужденец повече ти приляга? Единствено Йохана му помага да не е в изгнание от собствения си живот. Понякога и това се случва – минаваш в изгнание от живота си, единствения ти, а после време няма. Един безличен субект, загубил името си нейде по пътя. Пътят, по който марширува граф Хартенау, не се разклонява в хиляда посоки, та да се чуди кой път да хване, като в България. „Който и път да хванеш, все ще си отвян на бял кон - бе мнението на чистачката на двореца му в България. - Тъй че няма какво да му мислиш толкова.“ Чистачката не владееше етикета и си му говореше на „ти“ и на „мойто момче“....

Excerpt Details
But there on a rusty nail in the Ogorelyshyovs’ submerged fence that divided the Sinichka from the pond there was something gleaming grey in the green moonlit night — one of the demons, a little demon with a face of incorruptible, indignant human integrity and fairness stretches his leg upwards and outwards a long way like a cat and laughs a bitter crooked laugh through his closed lips. Now he knew what new life Kolya has set off into and why Arsenii gave the order for the Finogenovs to be thrown out like a dog onto the street in bad weather, and why all the human misery, enough to make a flintstone crackle, why all the evil fate and calamity and ill fortune and why some are doomed to it and others are free. But did he know? And who is he — a devil, one of the demons or simply a minor demon? A devil, a demon and a minor demon, he knew and he laughed a crooked, bitter laugh through his pursed lips....

Excerpt Details
From: "The Bird-Headed Woman" On an isolated farm near the Black River lived a farmer and his wife who had recently given birth to a child. She quarreled with him because he raged at her in his religion, accusing her of wrongs she had not done to him, and so she left him and took her child to live in the woods where she had found a shack abandoned by loggers. Her husband, alienated by her, began to preach a profound and compelling gospel of sin and the everlasting hell due to sinners, and people from many farms and towns came around to listen to him. She could hear their clamor from the woods where she lived. Like the sound of a train flagged to a sudden halt in the wilderness. Crashing its clashing cars. Seething with hissing steam. At night through the trees she could see the glaring lights of kerosene lamps moving like aural globules upon the lawn and on the porch of the house where men and women gathered to listen to her husband. She went out in the night to listen, leaving her child in the shack, but feared that her child might cry and so went back. The next night she thought: “I will bathe my child in warm wa...

Usko žanrovski posmatrano, po svojoj formi, Prizivanje Katarine je politički triler, i predstavlja nastavak prethodnog romana D.M.Skileta po imenu Knjiga snimanja. Knjiga snimanja govorila je o ratnim profiterima i zaveri u najvišim krugovima srpske politike, o sprezi politike i kriminala, dok se u Prizivanju Katarine osim sa ovom neizbežnom spregom takođe susrećemo sa jednim drugačijim, okultnim, Beogradom, sa pravim stranim plaćenicima i pravim revolucionarima, sa nenapisanom srpskom istorijom, i sa sasvim originalnom verzijom najvećeg srpskog ratničkog mita.. Naime, ratnički mitovi često određuju i usmeravaju narode: Englezima puno znači mit o Svetom gralu, Nemcima mit o Nibelunzima, što je sasvim bezazleno do trenutka kad se neko seti da mit proglasi za državnu politiku. Tada po pravilu nastaje nacionalna katastrofa – jedna takva se desila u Hitlerovoj Nemačkoj a druga u Miloševićevoj Srbiji. Kosovske mitomane imamo i danas na političkoj sceni, a nacionalni problem broj jedan i dalje je Kosovo. Ovo nagoni na razmišljanje: zbog čega smo toliko privrženi kosovskom mitu? Koliko u njemu ima činjenica, a koliko je nastajao kao instru...

Description Details
Ruin is a tale that is not a tale. It is a microscopic peering into the unpleasant fabric of human sustainability. It is a real person wrought by sabotaging the very nature of storytelling. It is a description of love, that is, the deliberate perversion of it in order to fulfill one's needs, which is to say it is the banal record of everyday life. It is a collection of details that follow the details that preceded it in A Book of Nightmares. It is not a happy book. It is full of elegiac contemplation on suffering, helplessness, holiness and unrelenting sexual isolation. It is blunt and graphic and painfully beautiful. It has little plot, and no punctuation, and might, just might, be the poetry for which America has been unconsciously waiting....

From an omniscient viewpoint, the author, pours out the inner thoughts of his characters in torrential monologues. He then exposes the myths upon which most of the religions were based, to build a factual dimension for the novel. In this respect, the author analyse the movement of his characters rather than describing it.
